I have been using Airtable and created a column in which I have added links to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram profiles. I manually added the follower count, but I want to know if it is possible to update the follower count automatically for these social media platforms in real-time. Can you please help me with this?
Automatically counting the number of followers on social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook,
+1
+35That would only be possible if their REST APIs support getting the follower counts.
You can tap into external REST APIs by using one of 3 methods:
1. High-code: Writing your own custom Javascript scripts in Airtable.
2. Medium-code: Using DataFetcher.com
3. Low-code: Using Make’s automations and integrations.
