Description
This step-by-step example shows you how to send a list of product information, as collected from a form, to a Google spreadsheet, using the Zapier Add-On.
Background
As of version 3 of the Zapier Add-On, product information is sent to Zapier as an array, use of which is what this example demonstrates. This change allows you to use the option in Zapier that creates new rows with line item support.
In addition, the list data is also still being sent as a serialized string, simply to maintain backwards compatibility.
