šŸŽÆ 3 Powerful Nodes

1. SheetBase (Basic)

Read data via CSV URL - Perfect for static lookups

2. SheetBase Tool (LangChain)

AI Agent tool for database queries

3. SheetBase Memory (NEW! 🧠)

AI Agent persistent memory with two modes:

  • Simple Mode: Read-only CSV search
  • Advanced Mode: Full CRUD with Apps Script

šŸš€ Quick Start

Simple Mode (2 minutes)

  1. Create Google Sheet: user_name | user_id | user_preference | user_small_history | user_timestamp
  2. File → Share → Publish to web → CSV
  3. Copy URL to SheetBase Memory node

Advanced Mode (10 minutes)

  1. Create Google Sheet
  2. Extensions → Apps Script
  3. Paste this code:

function doGet(e) {
const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
const data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
const headers = data;
const rows = data.slice(1);

const operation = e.parameter.operation || 'search';
const userId = e.parameter.user_id || '';
const keywords = e.parameter.keywords || '';

let results = rows.map((row, idx) => {
let obj = { __row: idx + 2 };
headers.forEach((h, i) => obj[h] = row[i]);
return obj;
}).filter(r => r.user_id === userId);

if (operation === 'search' && keywords) {
const keywordList = keywords.toLowerCase().split(/\s+|,/).filter(k => k.length > 0);
results = results.filter(r => {
const searchText = JSON.stringify(r).toLowerCase();
return keywordList.some(keyword => searchText.includes(keyword));
});
}

return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({
success: true,
data: results,
count: results.length
})).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
}

function doPost(e) {
const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
const data = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);

if (data.operation === 'create') {
const v = data.values;
sheet.appendRow([v.user_name, v.user_id, v.user_preference, v.user_small_history, v.user_timestamp]);
return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({ success: true })).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
}

if (data.operation === 'update') {
const u = data.updates;
sheet.getRange(data.rowNumber, 3).setValue(u.user_preference);
sheet.getRange(data.rowNumber, 4).setValue(u.user_small_history);
sheet.getRange(data.rowNumber, 5).setValue(u.user_timestamp);
return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({ success: true })).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
}

if (data.operation === 'delete') {
sheet.deleteRow(data.rowNumber);
return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify({ success: true })).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON);
}
}
