What it does

This automation runs daily and deletes duplicate rows using a key column you pick — so imports, form responses, and pasted data stay deduplicated without manual cleanup.

How to set it up

Install Sheet Automation from the Google Workspace Marketplace and open it from your sheet.
Pick the “Remove duplicate rows daily” template and choose the sheet and the key column (e.g. A).
Save — duplicates are cleared automatically every day.
Tip: keep the column that uniquely identifies a row as the key (e.g. email or ID).
