Workflow automation appends rows to the absolute bottom of your sheet because it uses simple append operations without any understanding of your actual data structure or logical boundaries.

Here’s why this happens and how to get new data inserted in the right location with proper formula integration.

CoefficientBasic workflow tools lack sophisticated spreadsheet integration. They simply add data to the bottom without considering your established data areas, formulas, or formatting.solves this through defined import ranges that respect your spreadsheet layout.

HubSpotWhen you set up aimport, Coefficient establishes a specific data area and adds new records within that structured range, not at arbitrary sheet locations.

How to make it work

Step 1. Replace workflow automation with direct HubSpot import.

Connect to your HubSpot account through Coefficient and select the data object you need. Instead of using workflow triggers, configure a direct import that targets your specific data range within your existing spreadsheet structure.

Step 2. Define your data import range precisely.

Specify exactly where new data should appear in your spreadsheet. Coefficient creates defined import areas that integrate with your existing formulas and formatting, unlike workflow automation that treats your entire sheet as available space.

Step 3. Configure scheduled refreshes to replace workflow triggers.

Set up automatic refreshes (hourly, daily, weekly) that replace your workflow automation. Each refresh adds new data to the correct location within your established data structure.

Step 4. Enable Formula Auto Fill Down for proper integration.

This feature ensures that new records automatically integrate with your existing formulas and calculations. Your spreadsheet maintains logical boundaries and formula consistency, unlike workflow automation that ignores your data structure.
