Overview

The data stored into the variable is the same format as the data used with the Create spreadsheet BLOCK. For details, refer to the Create spreadsheet BLOCK reference page.
info_outline All data is handled as strings regardless of the data type in the cell.

You can view the email address of your GCP service account in the GCP service accounts section of the Flow Designer Settings menu.
