Hello, I am trying to write an Airtable automation Script where I am trying to create a new record to an existing table that has 4 fieldsFriendly Name (String)Platform Name (String)Platform Type (Prefixed Value)Data (Self-reference Linked Records field) When I run this code where I am setting all the values except the "Data" field because I don't want the new record to be linked to any other record   const data = { "Friendly Name": d, "Platform Name": d, "Platform": {name: "Launch"}, } const record = await table.createRecordAsync(data) I keep getting the same error ERROR Error: Field "fldtUMUOntLLXvVx8" cannot accept the provided value. at <anonymous> on line 121 at <anonymous> on line 137 at main on line 43  where fldtUMUOntLLXvVx8 is the field ID for the "data" field.  Can someone help me understand what I am doing wrong. I just want to create the new record without any interlinking

I created PAT as followed in documentation and copied it's token but I can't use it.I do get an "Error 403" in Make when I use my PAT there and I also get "Invalid Personal Access Token" in Xano.I checked the documentation regarding it and it seems I don't understand how to use it since I only wanted to use the template as base here in airtable and use it's table in Xano as a test data.

I've been trying to update a multipleCollaborator field without overwriting. Specifically I have a lookup field with user IDs and I'm trying to copy the same IDs (hence collaborators) to another (empty) collaborator field.This should be relatively simple and yet i get a "TypeError: record.getCellValue is not a function or its return value is not iterable" // This script downloads all the Auto-Requester's Collaborator IDs and re-prints them in Requester const config = input.config() const recordAT = config.recordAT const autorequester = config.autorequester const requester = config.requester const table = base.getTable('Deliverables') console.log(autorequester) for (var arID of autorequester) { let queryResult = await table.getView('All All').selectRecordsAsync({fields: ["Requester"]}); let record = queryResult.records.find(r => recordAT) console.log(record.getCellValue("Requester")) await table.updateRecordAsync(recordAT, { 'Requester' : [ ...

Hello, I just made an API request to Airtable that failed, and I don't have enough traceability data to inform me about the details of the request for which the API request failed (e.g.: the different fields and values in the request body).Is there any log store where I can see all the requests (or at least just the failed ones) made to my Airtable base via the API? Or is there any way to query for these failed requests via an interface/API?

MySQL or PostgreSQL or MongoDB or some KV Database? (include table fileds and view and record)SQL or NoSQL?And what is the structure of the table of database?

Bonjour j’aimerai savoir comment fait-on pour intégrer notre logo dans un formulaire fiche ?  

I am trying to use an external API to automatically update some fields in my base based on a record ID using the script below.let table = base.getTable("Tracker");let view = table.getView("US");let query = await view.selectRecordsAsync({ fields: ["appNo"],});for (let record of query.records) {let patentStatus = await remoteFetchAsync(`https://developer.uspto.gov/ibd-api/v1/application/publications?patentApplicationNumber=${(`${record.getCellValueAsString("AppNo")}`)}`)let data = await patentStatus.json()But when I run the request the response I get back is an error with the message "Invalid SSL Certificate."If there a way to work around this in Airtable?

Hey there. I’m trying to set up some script to automatically input my Images URL to Attachment. I found some code in this forum but I’m running into errors that I don’t understand. Code I’m running: let table = base.getTable('PhantomBuster'); let query = await table.selectRecordsAsync(); for (let record of query.records) { // if the attachment field is empty if(record.getCellValue('Image URL') == null) { if(record.getCellValue('Attachment') == null) { let recordId = await table.updateRecordAsync(record, { 'Attachment': [ { url: record.getCellValue('Image URL')} ] }}) } } The error I’m running to is: SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list on line 1 at s on line 1 at Generator._invoke on line 1 at Generator.next on line 1 at t on line 1 at a on line 1 on line 1 on line 1 Can anyone help? Thanks

I am supposed to have data from a Typeform populate two different Airtable sheets through Zapier. The first one is an Airtable base that I created for my own use. The second one is a class-shared base. I believe I have set up my Zap correctly because when I fill out my Typeform, the data is correctly entered into my personal Airtable. I set up the shared Airtable the same way, however, I cannot get any data to show up. Any ideas why this is not working?

Hi,We've been using HubSpot integration for several weeks now, but in the last days, the integration has been repeatedly interrupted by Airtable, and everytime we reconnect it, it was disconnected again after few hours, and finally permanently revoked (see screenshot attached). We've reach out to HubSpot support but they don't know what is happening since everything is working fine in their end and the integration is disconnected on Airtable's end. Regarding auth token and permissions, we haven't done any change in the last days that might trigger this interruption.Could you please assist us on how should we proceed here in order to re-run this integration again without facing new interruptions? Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to automate a New Grid View when there is a new record in view? Here’s the flow: A new record is in view Create a view. Use a field from the new record to create the filter for the view Save the view as the Name. I’ve use web scraping tools and Zapier and have had no luck. The web scraping tool I use does not like Airtable. OR is there another way to share just a record with someone? We use the shared grid view to give our contractions information (what we owe them, their log in to our app, etc.). We automate everything but just this step. Thanks in advance! :slightly_smiling_face: I’m a business owner, not a coder. I feel I’m in over my head on this one. :worried:

Hi, I have 20 records in my Base that were accidentally overridden by an Integromat automation. I need to restore the records to a previous version, but “Undo” will work, and there is no Snapshot for that time period. I can see the previous edits in the Activity Log for each record, but it looks as if I can’t access this data through the API. Is there any way to restore records to a previous version based on edits in the Activity Log of a record, rather than a Snapshot? If there’s not a way to do this within Airtable itself, is there any third party software that you can recommend to extract this data? Thanks for the help!

I know it is possible to create custom Extensions and publish them to the marketplace. I was not able to find any information on developing third-party actions for Automations.For example, there is a list of integrations:Can I develop a new one for a third-party system? I'm looking for a way to develop and publish it globally for other users to consume. I'm a part of a product company and we want to give Airtable users option to integrate through Automations. 

Hi! I have recently discovered OpenApi and I am working on a project that requires me to translate text from English to French. I used scripting extension. The script fetches the translation from OpenApi and outputs it to “Translated field”. For some records, Everything seems to work fine. However, for other records the translation doesn’t always work and sometimes it outputs incomplete sentences or random links. Is this because of my script or is the OpenApi random? What can I do to make it work? // Change this to the name of a table in your base let table = base.getTable('Translation'); let openaiUrl = "https://api.openai.com/v1/engines/text-davinci-002/completions"; // Prompt the user to pick a record // If this script is run from a button field, this will use the button's record instead. let record = await input.recordAsync('Select a record to use', table); if (record) { // Construct the body // Change the field name to match yours. let body = { "prompt":

Hey there!I am very new to Airtable. I wanted to connect PowerAutomate to Airtable. I want to use Airtable as alternative to Google Sheets. I created a token in the settings, used the table and base ID (pulled it out of the link like described in the Airtable Documentary) to configure the PowerAutomate step. Then I got a connection prompt asking for the API and a Name. I entered the token I created in https://airtable.com/create/tokens/new and then, tested the flow. Everytime I did that I got the Error: "Authentication required". I thought maybe its because airtable wants to remove API's completely but I am pretty sure I am just doing something simple totally wrong. How do I have to do it right? Best Regards

Does the web api offer a way to get a field's type?  It seems like the record endpoint  does not this information. I've been looking for a while but cannot seem to find it. Am I missing something?

Hello beautiful people.I have a table with 100 kids channels maybe more in future. as we have different territories we push our channels to, we needed to shuffle those channels according to the territory. so manual adjust is needed. The main request here is : to be able to change a channel order Manually like I wanted Tigilli channel to be No 1 instead of 5. Now I have Smurfs TV as 1 , it should update to no 2 and Disney Plus channel is there is No 2 , it should update to No 3 and goes on till the end of list.As Logic : when I change the order value in a #Order field what should happens is all other higher values including the same older value that i have changed should update (+1) the numbers order sequentially according to that to still give me 100 channels with the new order. I have tried this script, but I'm not going anywhere. Can you please help me rewrite the script in a way that works const tableName = "Table 1"; // my table name const fieldName = "Order"; /

Hi guysWe’re searching for solutions to connect h5p to airtable/ softr. It’s a platform with gamification-tools for education and it’s easy to embed this, but then we loose the possibility for reporting the results (for example in interactive videos or crossword). We see at the moment the following solutions, but from scratch we’ve no idea how to solve:A) hoping for an integration;)B) integrate it in airtable/ softrC) using active directory and only link the h5p site in the backgroundThank you for your ideas.

Hi, I'm a little lost with where to start looking for a simple tool that allows me to create a permission-based API on top of my Airtable data.I'm looking to enable an external collaborator to request the availability of a certain set of products. For that I would like to limit the user to1. Read only access2. A set of records via a view or filter3. A set of fieldsThis is a small scale experiment and I would prefer a quick to setup and free solution.I have looked at nocodeapi.com, which looks great but it doesn't appear to support the permissions I'm looking for.Thank you! 

I am trying to use AirTable to initiate via automation and a script action to make Twilio call and message our clients.Essentially this is going to be built out in Twilio Studio.  But i am trying to figure out how to implement this code to send all the correct fields.  I am not a coder, and I wanted to pursue this over using Zapier or Make to save my company money.Background on the Process:Twilio Studio will be linked to my AirTable.  I am trying to track the following:Whether a message was successfully sent or called.   When calling a person or texting giving them the option to press 1 for in-person (office) meeting, 2 for Remote (zoom), 3 to reschedule.Record responses and confirmation back into AirTable with that record.This is a RSVP for case conferences and hearings with our clients.  Built off the following fields:Client NameClient Phone NumberHearing Date & TimeHearing OfficerHearing Officer Email AddressHearing Officer Phone NumberZoom URLZoom

The API documentation says there is a rate limit of 5 requests per second.  Do we know whether this limit also applies to using personal access token?Specifically - let's say I create 5 personal access tokens - is the rate limit 5 requests per second for each personal access token or is it 5 requests per second for the user on which the personal access token is defined?For the above would the rate limit be 5 requests per second or 25 requests per second (assuming there are 5 requests for each personal access token per second)?

I’m calling an Apps Script which works as intended in the browser. However when using automation I get the error. I have read that this is to do with google redirecting the url. I don’t need to receive anything back from the script as everything is handled there. Are there any other ways around this? I could put it in a button but then it wouldn’t be automated. Also if possible I would like to avoid using another intermediary service.

I received the following email about a Base that uses Zapier integrations.The Zapier third-party integration's access to your Airtable account has been automatically revoked by Airtable due to security concerns around refresh token usage. This sometimes occurs due to misconfigurations of the third-party integration.To continue using Zapier you may re-authorize it. If you would like to contact the developer about this issue you may contact them at contact@zapier.com.You can manage your third-party integrations from your account's integrations panel. The third-party Integrations tab in  Account > Integrations (as described here)  is now empty. What is the best way to restore access to Zapier whilst ensuring the prior configuration was saved?
