Check out the script here. Here you can see that the script only continues if the active sheet is “Contacts”. It doesn’t mean that the script won’t run at all, but it will just skip over all of the code if the changed active sheet is not the we want to run code against. > [@Populating multipls tabs from one tab in google-sheet](https://community.glideapps.com/t/populating-multipls-tabs-from-one-tab-in-google-sheet/11716/7): > > The concept would be the same. Instead of a single function to copy\_new\_names, you could probably create separate functions to handle each sheet you are adding to. I would also possibly make a duplicate of subscriber and date in between company name and contact email to the getrange in the script works. There are probably better ways to handle this, such as concatenating the 3 columns into one column with a delimiter (such as a pipe “|” or a comma “,”), writing that to the first column like m… Yes I get occasional errors from Google, but I only have a couple of user’s, so it’s not a big deal.
