Waleed 74d0a47525 fix(trigger): fix Google Sheets trigger header detection and row index tracking (#4109)
* 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

Sim.ai

Self-hosted: NPM Package

npx simstudio

→ http://localhost:3000

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

Open http://localhost:3000

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

  1. Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
cd sim
bun install
bun run prepare  # Set up pre-commit hooks
  1. 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.

  1. 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"
  1. Run migrations:
cd packages/db && bun run db:migrate
  1. 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_KEY environment 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.
