Why is the Google Sheets Append Row Node Not Adding New Rows?

Want to use over 200+ MCP servers inside your coding tools like Cursor?
I created an automation in n8n that collects data from multiple sources. A code node prepares a new data object, which is then sent to the Google Sheets Append Row node. It worked fine until it suddenly stopped appending new rows, even though n8n shows the node executed successfully.
What could be causing this, and how can I fix it?
I've attached screenshots of both the overall automation and the node configuration for reference:

Based on what you described, one common issue is that if the column names in your Google Sheet change (or have been altered after you configured the node), the mapping for the "Append Row" node might no longer match. Even though the node execution shows as successful, it may be appending rows with mismatched or empty data.
To resolve this issue:
-
Refresh the Column Mapping:
Open your Google Sheets node in your workflow and re-select the Mapping Column Mode. This action forces the node to re-fetch the current column names from your spreadsheet. -
Review Your Data Object:
Ensure that the keys in the new object created by your Code node match the current column names exactly. Any key mismatch can cause the node to write data to the wrong column (or none at all).
Following these steps should help you re-establish the correct mapping and resolve the issue with the rows not appending as expected.
