* fix(trigger): auto-detect header row and rename lastKnownRowCount to lastIndexChecked - Replace hardcoded !1:1 header fetch with detectHeaderRow(), which scans the first 10 rows and returns the first non-empty row as headers. This fixes row: null / headers: [] when a sheet has blank rows or a title row above the actual column headers (e.g. headers in row 3). - Rename lastKnownRowCount → lastIndexChecked in GoogleSheetsWebhookConfig and all usage sites to clarify that the value is a row index pointer, not a total count. - Remove config parameter from processRows() since it was unused after the includeHeaders flag was removed. * fix(trigger): combine sheet state fetch, skip header/blank rows from data emission - Replace separate getDataRowCount() + detectHeaderRow() with a single fetchSheetState() call that returns rowCount, headers, and headerRowIndex from one A:Z fetch. Saves one Sheets API round-trip per poll cycle when new rows are detected. - Use headerRowIndex to compute adjustedStartRow, preventing the header row (and any blank rows above it) from being emitted as data events when lastIndexChecked was seeded from an empty sheet. - Handle the edge case where the entire batch falls within the header/blank window by advancing the pointer and returning early without fetching rows. - Skip empty rows (row.length === 0) in processRows rather than firing a workflow run with no meaningful data. * fix(trigger): preserve lastModifiedTime when remaining rows exist after header skip When all rows in a batch fall within the header/blank window (adjustedStartRow > endRow), the early return was unconditionally updating lastModifiedTime to the current value. If there were additional rows beyond the batch cap, the next Drive pre-check would see an unchanged modifiedTime and skip polling entirely, leaving those rows unprocessed. Mirror the hasRemainingOrFailed pattern from the normal processing path. * chore(trigger): remove verbose inline comments from google-sheets poller * fix(trigger): revert to full-width A:Z fetch for correct row count and consistent column scope * fix(trigger): don't count skipped empty rows as processed

Quickstart
Cloud-hosted: sim.ai
Self-hosted: NPM Package
npx simstudio
Note
Docker must be installed and running on your machine.
Options
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
-p, --port <port> |
Port to run Sim on (default 3000) |
--no-pull |
Skip pulling latest Docker images |
Self-hosted: Docker Compose
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
Background worker note
The Docker Compose stack starts a dedicated worker container by default. If REDIS_URL is not configured, the worker will start, log that it is idle, and do no queue processing. This is expected. Queue-backed API, webhook, and schedule execution requires Redis; installs without Redis continue to use the inline execution path.
Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM — see the Docker self-hosting docs for setup details.
Self-hosted: Manual Setup
Requirements: Bun, Node.js v20+, PostgreSQL 12+ with pgvector
- Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
cd sim
bun install
bun run prepare # Set up pre-commit hooks
- Set up PostgreSQL with pgvector:
docker run --name simstudio-db -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_password -e POSTGRES_DB=simstudio -p 5432:5432 -d pgvector/pgvector:pg17
Or install manually via the pgvector guide.
- Configure environment:
cp apps/sim/.env.example apps/sim/.env
# Create your secrets
perl -i -pe "s/your_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_internal_api_secret/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_api_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
# DB configs for migration
cp packages/db/.env.example packages/db/.env
# Edit both .env files to set DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:your_password@localhost:5432/simstudio"
- Run migrations:
cd packages/db && bun run db:migrate
- Start development servers:
bun run dev:full # Starts Next.js app, realtime socket server, and the BullMQ worker
If REDIS_URL is not configured, the worker will remain idle and execution continues inline.
Or run separately: bun run dev (Next.js), cd apps/sim && bun run dev:sockets (realtime), and cd apps/sim && bun run worker (BullMQ worker).
Copilot API Keys
Copilot is a Sim-managed service. To use Copilot on a self-hosted instance:
- Go to https://sim.ai → Settings → Copilot and generate a Copilot API key
- Set
COPILOT_API_KEYenvironment variable in your self-hosted apps/sim/.env file to that value
Environment Variables
See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.
