Zapier: BigCommerce to Google Sheet, New Row for Each Item - google-sheets

Question

I have successfully linked my BigCommerce account to my Google Sheets (Drive) account so every time I receive a new order in my store the order is automatically exported into a Google Sheet. Unfortunately, an entire order is listed on one row with multiple items added into one cell. What I need is to have each product on its own row; for example, if someone orders three different products Zapier would create three new rows. This functionality exists when directly exporting orders from BigCommerce, but the "Zap" does not use the BigCommerce export function when pulling order information from my store to the Google Sheet.
I know this is a shot in the dark, but I am hoping someone might have a solution that I can implement. Thank you for your help!

Answer 1

I have created a script that perhaps could be used or modified, at least until you find if the process can be done within Zapier.
You can try the script in the following ss: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ggNYlLEeN3UYtZC_KlOGwpyII9CzOLKMnIOKIDrPJPM/edit?usp=sharing
The script assumes that orders arrive in the tab named Zapier. As things are set up, you would run the script through the Custom Menu.
If there are 2 orders or more, click the menu for each order.
The complete rows appear in the sheet FullList.
(if you want to play/try again, you will have to manually delete the rows in FullList once they are showing).
function processForNewOrders() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sourceSheet = ss.getSheetByName('Zapier');
var destinationSheet = ss.getSheetByName('FullList');
var sourceValues = sourceSheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var destinationValues = destinationSheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var index = [];
destinationValues.forEach( function (x) {
index.push(x[0]);
})
var newOrders = [];
for (var y = sourceValues.length -1 ; y > 0 ; y --){
if(sourceValues[y][0].toString().indexOf('po_number') != -1 ) continue;
var i = index.indexOf(sourceValues[y][0]);
if(i != -1) break; // This readies only the fresh orders for processing
newOrders.push(sourceValues[y]);
}
Logger.log(newOrders)
for (var j = 0 ; j < newOrders.length ; j++){
var output = [];
var orderLine = newOrders[j];
Logger.log('orderLine = ' + orderLine);
var circuit = 0;
var items = 1
while (circuit < items){
var row = [];
for (var z = 0 ; z < orderLine.length; z++){
var cell = orderLine[z];
// Logger.log(cell);
var lines = cell.toString().split(',');
if(lines.length > 1) items = lines.length;
row.push(lines[circuit] ? lines[circuit] : lines[0]);
// Logger.log('row =' + row);
}
circuit ++;
Logger.log('circuit circuit circuit =' + circuit)
output.push(row);
}
}
Logger.log(output);
if(output != undefined)
destinationSheet.getRange(index.length+1,1,output.length,output[0].length).setValues(output);
}
function onOpen() {
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
// Or DocumentApp or FormApp.
ui.createMenu('Custom Menu')
.addItem('Process new order', 'processForNewOrders')
.addToUi();
}
