Hi, I really like the course and how it explains details like the array filtering.
I found one more edge case I couldn’t solve so far:
From Google Sheets API I get an array of arrays, how can I cast this to get individually accessible datapoints in my App (I could only manage to get strings for the 2nd level)?
Thanks Chris

Hi @chrniem!

I know you talked about this in Office Hours with the Tulip Team, but I wanted to post a response for anyone else who sees this thread and might have the same question.

In the connector function, you can use a input function to pull 1 row at at time (by index) and then get that row in array format. Then in your app, you can manipulate that array in trigger actions to pull whatever items from the array you want.

Feel free to add anything else I may have missed in my very oversimplified summary here :slight_smile:
