Development & APIs

I'm trying to script a POST request to the Covve API to parse business cards. Their technical support says "the API does not support passing the file via URL. It only accepts uploading the file itself directly."Is there a way to do this through Airtable, using the expiring URL? This is the relevant part:const myHeaders = new Headers(); myHeaders.append("Authorization", apiKey); myHeaders.append("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data"); const formdata = new FormData(); formdata.append("file", photoURL); const requestOptions = { method: "POST", headers: myHeaders, body: formdata, redirect: "follow" }; let postResponse = await remoteFetchAsync(apiUrl, requestOptions); 

I'm trying to use ChatGPT to analyze written data from airtable surveys, but ChatGPT is unable to access the information from a csv file. Is it possible to connect ChatGPT to Airtable in order to give it access to specific tables? The idea would be to be able to ask ChatGPT questions such as "What are the top 3 things guests enjoy about this trip?" based on the survey responses.

Hi, Did anybody already figured out how you make inquiry of your Airtable base with chatgpt. Very basic example: you have database tracking projects. And you ask Chat GPT (or any other ai model for that matter) - what is the status of project A, or who is responsible for project B, etc. 

When a form is submitted it shows the GMT date & time however when an automation email is sent it sent as UTC. Can someone please help me fix this.Thank you.

Hello,While testing my script to parse some pdf/excel documents - all under 500MB (considering the limit is 5GB) - any solution? Or is the 5GB limit not per document but for the whole account?Thank you in advanced.

Hello, I am trying to automate Airtable with JIRA using microsoft Flow. At my company we have restrictions that imposes that I use the Microsoft Solution. I would like to create a JIRA ticket every time I created a record in my Airtable Table. In microsoft flow I need a trigger to start the flow. Can someone know how to get the airtable trigger for when a new record is created? Thank you

Which API can I use to delete a field/column of a table?

I'm using the Airtable Node SDK and the type for `offset` is `number` but it throws an error of "INVALID_OFFSET_VALUE". Passing a `string` also throws an error "Error: Airtable: invalid parameters for `select`".Also, I don't get the `offset` string from the response when using the SDK.Is it possible to do pagination with the SDK? I see there's a function for `.select().eachPage()` but I'm not sure how to use it to implement pagination.If requesting via Fetch, I get the `offset` string from the response and I'm able to send it to the next request and get the next page, but how do I navigate backwards? I would need to store in a hash map ( { 0: null, 1: 'first_page/offset_string', ... } ) ?Another question is: Is it possible to implement a "normal" pagination? Like, navigate to an specific page, navigate backwards, etc.?

I have been attempting to catch a hook in Zapier from a scripting app that I run daily. The content of the request is designed to capture some metrics from the actual running of the script. I have previously run caught a webhook from a scripting automation to Zapier with no issues. For some reason though, when trying to send a similar request through a scripting app I encounter a failed to fetch issue with some writing on CORS. My code is below, I removed the link within the fetch but it was just the link that Zapier provides within their catch hook step. var bodyContent = { "scriptName": script, "numOfRecs": numRecs, "elapsedTime": et, "recsPerSec": recsPerSecs } let request = await fetch('', { method: 'post', body: JSON.stringify(bodyContent), headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, }); This is the error that is happening when I attempt to perform this part of the script.

I'm running into issues duplicating tables because of field counts.I can create a new table and copy a record over and it pastes all the correct fields but all the links and lookups are broken.My newest method is to link the record back to a main table and bring in all the fields as lookups but that as a (from {Table}) to the end of each field. A) is there a way to prevent that addendum to the field name OR a way to bulk remove it? Like with an script and via API calls?

Why can’t I save a webpage or anything i suppose to an airtable base using the share module on ios? Notion and other similar products allow it

Without any changes I recently started getting a 422 UNKNOWN_FIELD_NAME error for a field in my table. The field is available in the API docs ( Investor // Checkbox // boolean // This field is “true” when checked and otherwise empty.) My body looks like: data = { ‘fields’:{ ‘Investor’: True } } If I make a GET request for a particular record, the “fields” object looks like: {‘Investor’: True}, passing back that same object inside data results in the same 422 error

How can I change the primary field of a base using the API?

Hello,I need to trigger a webhook to Make.com, but I need to avoid the confirm tab being opened. Therefore, I cannot simply use button + webhook and I probably need to use a script. And this is the part I cannot do by myself.So here is the situation - I have a button as one column and what I need to achieve is to send a webhook with recordID to Make. In the interface, I have a "record view", where the button is for each record. The button works fine with this: "https://hook.eu2.make.com/myhook?ID=" & RECORD_ID()But it also opens a new tab, which is unacceptable for my use case.So I tried three scripts, but none of them worked. Some of them want to pick an item, that is probably not the right solution for my case.Can someone help, please?SCRIPT 1&n

Is it possible to create a formula field using the API? if so how Can we do it can someone provide me the right json structure and syntax

Hi all,I've been searching a solution for creating (adding) an automation to table that is created via API call.Simplified process would be: 1. User adds a new project (to another system) [OK]2. This invokes process that creates AT table (to existing base) with all the needed colums etc. [OK]3. Turn automation on (via API), that sends data to another system when a "Status" field is set to "DONE".I know that I can achive this using a webhook, that listens field changed, but.. As the automations are already there, it would be more elegant process from maintaining perspective.Anyone countered the same, or found some other way to achive this?- EW

Does anyone know if it’s possible to access a list of a bases Automations (and corresponding steps) via Airtable API? If not now - does anyone know if it’s on their roadmap? Desperate for it :pleading_face:

I have a base with different tables, each one linked to other bases. Is is possible to edit an attachment field? I am able to edit other type of fields, as for example, checkboxes, but not the attachment ones... 

In Langchain, it can use chains like SQLDatabaseChain to utilise the power of NLP and convert the user input into SQL query code (JS or Python) then execute the code to retrieve what is needed from SQL database such as PostgreSQL.Does airtable support such query and would possibly be supported by Langchain in the near future?I guess if the script can be made and executed at the back end for each customised query, that would also work, is that feasible? Thanks.

Hi Airtable community, I am looking for AI tools with which I can query our team's Airtable database with. It's a massive database with about 5000 entries, and each record contains a vast amount of information. The idea is that we can query the Airtable with questions regarding the data.I worry that existing AI add-ons will not be able to handle that amount of information. Does anyone have thoughts or recommendations on what an appropriate tech setup would be for this?

Is it possible to request results from the REST be sorted by the createdTime (which is returned on the payload) without needing to add a new column to the table? i.e. right now if I pass createdTime to sort, I get back an error: [Error: {\'type\': \'UNKNOWN_FIELD_NAME\', \'message\': \'Unknown field name: "createdTime"\'}]

I am newish to Airtable and the person that built it for us no longer works or has access to it, one of our forms is not working and comes up with a error message, how do I fix this as I have had a hard time connecting with support team.

Hi, I'm running an automation that monitors a table for certain fields and when any of those fields get updated, I want to run script that sends those field values to an external platform, via an API call to that platform. I know how to write this script, however I can't figure out how to reference the specific record whose field was updated. Is this possible?Here is a screenshot of my automation.
