I'm writing a script that will update my airtable dynamically with new tags that will sit in a multi-select field. I know that I can use { typecast: true } in my call to airtable, but I'm still getting an issue when updating it. I'm pretty sure the issue is either in how I've set up my object for Airtable or the placement of the { typecast: true } option. Here is the partial method that creates a record in my airtable await this.table.create( batch, // batch of records to be updated, see below for structure { typecast: true }, function (err, record) { if (err) { console.error(err); return; } console.log(record.getId()); } ); Here is the object (batch) that I'm sending through fields: { name: 'a new record', categories: [ { name: 'Item 1' },

Hello Airtable communityLooking to you for help / direction with a problem a client of mine has. They are auctioneers, and use Airtable to manage their business, specifially to load properties and other assets onto Airtable, which displays on their public facing site via an <iframe>.The challenges he faces is that every time someone registers to bid on a property, they have to go through the registration process from A to Z. My clients wants a solution where their client registers an account on either Airtable or the Wordpress instance, so that they remain registered for all auctions. Secondly, they'd like to take payments on the site as a deposit for the auction. This is easily done with a simple Woocommerce install, but was wondering if something exists within Airtable to facilitate this payment.Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.Regards,Willi

I have a table that includes about a dozen fields.  I've noticed that the list-records method won't include columns from the table if the columns are missing a value.  Is there a way to include missing-value columns in the results?

Hello,That's certainly a silly question.In the recent past, I created interfaces for which I had full rights. I was able to adjust the position of fields, their size, etc.Today, still with full rights, I've gone back to the same bases and recreated interfaces, but I'm no longer able to modify the layout, size, etc. of the fields.It's very annoying...Here's a short film : https://youtu.be/n4yvkNTfv9cThanks in advance,Erwan

Hello,I'm a new to the AirTable API and trying to automate adding records with data from another API.  I have this function: async function updateCrewRecords(data: CrewDetailsType[]) { const crewBase = new Airtable({ apiKey: AT_API_KEY }).base('appxxx') const table = cewBase('tblxxx') const records = data.map((crew) => ({ fields: { CrewID: crew.CrewID, CompanyID: crew.CompanyID, IsActive: crew.IsActive, Position: crew.Position, }, })) try { // const response = await table.create(records, { typecast: true }) const response = await table.update(records, { typecast: true, performUpsert: true, fieldsToMergeOn: ['CrewID'], }) } catch (e: any) { const errorMsg = `updateCrewRecords(): ${e.message}` console.log(e.statusCode, errorMsg) // throw error(e.statusCode, e.message) } } The commented out table.create(records) works as expected, but the upsert doesn't.  The error I'm gettin

Sendgrid has been working fine, sent emails yesterday, all of a sudden I have a missing root. Got new key, restarted. Tried different tables views. Still emails are suddenly failing and getting the above error. Help!

I'm fairly new to JS and I'd love feedback if this script is the most effective. I'm trying to link records between tables, and I know it's not a simple copy-paste.I have two tables: enrollments (students) and courses.Enrollments has the fields:Course ID: integerCourse ID Link: link field to the Courses tableThe integers directly correspond to a 'Canvas Course ID' in the Courses table. Manually, I can copy from one column to the next to make the link.From what I've pieced together, you need to query to find the AT recordID for that matching integer. Here is how I'm approaching this:let enrollTable = base.getTable('Enrollments'); let enrollList = await enrollTable.selectRecordsAsync({fields: ['Course ID']}) for (let student of enrollList.records) { //find the matching Course from Courses table let coursesTable = base.getTable('Courses'); let courseQuery = await coursesTable.selectRecordsAsync({fields: ['Can

Hey folks,We recently received an email that Zapier's users' Airtable API keys will be automatically switching to OAuth tokens. How would this be possible? And how can we do the same for Softr users? Who would be the right person from the Airtable side to support this? Zapier Email: Your Airtable Zaps are switching to OAuth on Sept. 25

Hello, I am trying to reduce the number of clicks that need to be used print a page designer record. I have set up the new button functionality to connect to the page designer to print, but once you click on it you have to click at least on 4 different windows before sending the item to print. Is there a way to use the scripting block to automate this process for you? I don’t know much about scripting so I might need to outsource the service but ideally when clicking on the button it would automatically send to print without needing to reset the dimensions of the page designer.

I'm running an API POST script and I'm trying to utilize the id that is returned in the response.This is the key piece of the script. var postOptions = { method: 'POST', headers: myHeaders, body: formdata, redirect: 'follow' }; let response = await remoteFetchAsync("https://xyz.com/...", postOptions) .then(response => response.text()) .then(result => console.log(result)) .catch(error => console.log('error', error));I get this response. I'd like to then reference that id returned.CONSOLE.LOG "{"id":29644,"progress":0,"current_line":null,"status":"created","created_at":"2023-09-12T09:30:39-07:00","started_at":null,"ended_at":null,"file_url":null}"I've tried this, but I get an undefined error.console.log(response.result.id)

Does anyone know if I can use filterByFormula with selectRecordsAsync in a script? ChatGPT tells me I can but I'm doutful. The script editor gives me a red squiggly line, and the script doesn't work. Completes okay but does not apply the filter. e.g in the following code (assuming the syntax in variable filterFormula is correct). Also, if this really does work, does it mean I can get around the Airtable selectRecords return limit? Or can I only do this by calling the API direct. Grateful for any help. let customerBookingsRecords = await customerBookingsTable.selectRecordsAsync({ fields: ["Day"], filterByFormula: filterFormula }); 

Hello there, I've developed a workflow that follows these steps:1) When a record is updated, all the product's fields are watched2) With these watched fields, a new script will run. The main goal with this script is taking the product's information, then making a PUT request to an external JSON API by taking the product's SKU.When I test the script, it runs successfully, but the response logs: {status: 400, message: "Invalid data provided"} status: 400 message: "Invalid data provided"Does anyone knows why this is happening? Is it an error in Airtable or in the external API server? Thanks in advance!The code goes like this: //input of modified product let inputConfig = input.config(); //Fetch for external API and JSON creation let re

I have a script to import a CSV from a URL. The URL is provided by an API JSON file. let csvFile = await remoteFetchAsync(reportData.attachment.url) At this line, I get the error:j: Error: Response status was 302 'Found' but redirect mode was set to 'error'I'm able to open and generate the CSV using incognito mode in my browser. The code has a verifier in the URL., like this:https://xyz.com/files/#####/download?download_frd=1&verifier=ABC123Is Airtable able to access this sort of file?

Hi, I’m writing a program that sends Airtable content to WhatsApp in Node.js. I’m facing a problem while sending the image file, I can only find a way that sends the image URL and not the image itself. How can I convert the URL to the image file? Code for sending the image URL. const img = record.get('Image'); imgurl = img[0].url console.log(imgurl) Help is appreciated, Thank you!

I created a new token and tried to use it to replace my API key in a Zapier app connection for Airtable. Thought I was doing the right thing in preparation for the deprecation in 2024. It didn't work. Zapier doesn't seem to recognise the token and wouldn't accept it.Likewise tried to use tokens in direct connections with other subscriber apps. They didn't accept them either.I'm missing something fundamental here right? Grateful for any help.

I'm writing a script to create records from an API call. One of the fields is a single select option. At the start of the script, I want to use the input option for the user to pick an option from the single select, which will be used for all the records. I don't see any option to pick from a single-select list. Is this possible?https://airtable.com/developers/scripting/api/input

Hello, I am struggling to connect Matlab to Airtable's API. All calls that I make to post are returned with 422: Unprocessable Entity, no matter how I configure the data structure. I can successfully make get calls with Matlab's webread(), but fail with all webwrite() posts. I have also performed posts with python using the same authorization key. This tells me that my link, authorization, and write access are all working and it is a problem with webwrite(). I have tried formatting the data in many ways as shown by the screenshot, primarily attempting using structs or nested structs as the data entry. Even using a key value pair directly in webwrite() all gives the same 422 error. Following the Matlab documentation on these functions explicitly yields these same results so any further insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 

Hi, I'm struggling to figure out how to get product support and wondering if anyone has faced a similar issue. We use Airtable to sync information into a database within our software. There is a unique ID we use in Airtable and our database to match the records. Frequently, but not always, our product renders an error message saying that ID is not found in Airtable and thus can't sync. However, the ID number is always present - it's somehow not being read or sent correctly. We've investigated from our end and there is nothing wrong that we can identify. So I'm trying to figure out if there are issues from Airtable's end that could be causing this or other ways we can troubleshoot. 

I'm creating an extension that will create a table and display a response for the user. I want to be able to color some cells depending on the response they get (true/false). Is there a way to do that? Coding?
