Add unique random identifier to new Firebase child with Zapier/Google Sheets

Question

I am connecting a Google Sheets file to Zapier to automatically create a new child in my cards Firebase node when a new spreadsheet row is created. The problem is that I can't find a way to generate an unique identifier with Zapier and/or Google Sheets. What's the best way to generate an unique ID for every child created?

I could add a new column in the Google Sheets to generate a new UID based off the time stamp that row was created but adding a different time stamp every time seems a bit cumbersome.

Here is a third alternative as a python script (using only one step)

import uuid

return {
'unique_id': str(uuid.uuid4())
 }
