Can I use NewsWhip Sheets without a NewsWhip Spike account?
No, I'm afraid access to the add-on is dependent on access to Spike.
What is the “exceeded max exec time” error?
Google places limits on the amount of time add-ons can perform tasks such as looking up long lists of URL details.
If you receive this error, please try to source the URL data in smaller batches.
