Development & APIs

Hello, Airtable community!I am writing an extension and I want to change the background color of particular cells if they match condition.For example: There is a Price column and if the price is > 1000 I want this cell to have a red background.  I know there is a Color option on top of the table that do exactly the same. But I want to apply this rule to each table that come in this base for each number fields automatically. Thank you in advance!

Hi!with the API Key deprecation ... I was wondering if anyone in the community have been able to convert / use the "Gatsby-source-airtable" plugin to connect to airtable using the new API auth method?This might be more a question for the Gatsby community, but giving it a try here first.*Anyone aware of a different plugin that I could use to achieve the same results of sourcing my airtable data into Gatsby?   Or have any insight if that plugin will be updated to support the new auth method?Thanks a lot 😎

Hi everyone, I'm trying to script a button to gather info from airtable and send it to an API which will turn it into an invoice and send it off. I'm getting an Error that makes no sense. The code:const customerNameField = 'Name'; const customerEmailField = 'Email'; const detailsField = 'Details'; const priceField = 'Price'; const amountField = 'Amount'; // Replace these values with your developer email and API key const developerEmail = 'yehuda@officeours.co.il'; const apiKey = 'APIKEY'; // Replace this with the EZcount API endpoint const ezcountApiEndpoint = 'https://demo.ezcount.co.il/api/createDoc'; // Get the current record's field values const customerName = record.getCellValue(customerNameField); const customerEmail = record.getCellValue(customerEmailField); const itemDetails = record.getCellValue(detailsField); const itemPrice = record.getCellValue(priceField); const itemAmount = record.getCellValue(amountField); // Construct the cc_email array const ccEmails = [c

I am trying to create a script to overcome the issue with updating multiple records after a "Find Records" search that yields multiple results. Automation Trigger: Record from "Packing List" table gets updated to ShippedDesired Actions:Use "Find Records" to search for items on the Packing list that were Available and mark them as Shipped (Some items may be on backorder so I want those to remain as is)This search returns a list of the 2 items (in my example) with Available as their status.Update the status cell to Shipped. I am not familiar with scripting so any help on writing this will be appreciated! I know I could complete these with Integromat (Make) but I'd rather keep it local to AirTable and less complicated.

I have an airtable script calling a 3rd party API for OAuth to their platform but as of about a month ago when calling their auth url ex:  https://somecompany.com/api/oauth/token  i'm getting a failure when I run giving me this errror: Error: request to https://63.94.171.182/api/oauth/token failed, reason: write EPROTO 80AC1602D17F0000:error:0A000152:SSL routines:final_renegotiate:unsafe legacy renegotiation disabled:ssl/statem/extensions.c:893:It looks like when called from the script it is converting the url to an IP? when I call this API from Postman everything works fine so it is something Airtable side causing it to convert to an IP that has me blocked.. Help!

We all know that the Airtable API keys have been deprecated in favor of the new OAuth2 integration... but how do you make the changes in your app?We have a native Airtable integration, so we created a tutorial to show you how to do this.You can learn how to transition from the traditional API key approach to OAuth2, which offers improved security by reducing the exposure of sensitive credentials.Totally tailored for developer, explore practical code snippets demonstrating how to set up OAuth2 authentication in your applications.

Hi, I need an attendance tracker for a nonprofit organization that organizes different activities throughout the year. I first tried doing a form that our coordinators of each activity would use to report the activity, time, description/impact, and attendance. The attendance is linked to a table that compiles the beneficiaries of the different activities that are run by the Non-profit. We already have some beneficiaries or previous participants in this table and so some of the attendees are already in our records, but when we have new attendees, I would like to be able to generate a new record from a form. I am able to add a new record in the grid view, but not in the Form. I have already tried doing an interface and it still won't give me the option to add new records in both form or interface. I do have a plus plan (not the free version).Our objective is to be able to have a beneficiary registry or a complete list of beneficiaries to report to our donors every year. We also

Is there way in node js airtable module to query on field Ids and field names, if there is no field Id present in the table , then it should look over the field names provided in the code.For Example , I am looking for field whose name is "event Id" and the field Id is of the same field is "fldtu2298482hs" .. I would include my field Id in the select statement and if my field is not found in the table , the select query should fall back on the field name "event Id"

Hi there,I'm new to the Airtable Community and was hoping someone here might shed some light on a script I'm trying to implement. I am receiving data from a third party form via an AT Webhook. I need to concatenate the image path (ImgPath) submitted from the form when it includes an attachment to create a full URL and then update the PhotoURL field which is set as an attachment in the current record in my AT table . However, when I test my script I get the error:Error: Field "fldAjZqtaQu8IMl9F" cannot accept the provided value.Below is the relevant section of myscript:  let imgURL = `https://mydomain.com/${ImgPath}`; const table = base.getTable("Entries") const query = await table.selectRecordsAsync({fields:["ImgPath", "PhotoURL"]}) let record = query.records[0].id; await table.updateRecordAsync(record, { "PhotoURL": imgURL }) I see plenty of examples where the update is triggered to batch update the entire table but I am hoping to do the update with each individual

I'm trying to set up the AirFlow Extension, however it is asking me for an API Key.Since AirTable have depreciated API keys, I'm unable to create one...I have tried using a Personal Access Token (PAT ID) but that is showing the error: "Authentication error - Please be sure your API Key is correct."I also tried to create an OAuth integration but I'm unsure what to use for the "OAuth redirect URL".Any help would be appreciated!

Based on the wonderful scripting resources here, I wrote my first script with the Scripting extension to send an email via SendGrid with the user clicks a button field.The email recipient is stored as a field in the People table in Airtable. The email body text is stored as a long text field in the Email Templates field.The template contains several fields from the People table to communicate customized information to the recipient.. I surrounded the field names with double curly braces, but they are not being resolved. The sent email is just the raw text.I think I'm missing something obvious...The reason for doing this as a script instead of using the SendGrid extension is that the extension sends to all records in a view. I want to have a button on an interface that the user clicks as they go through their workflow. It's not something that can be automated. The button should send the customized email to just that record.

I've created a base table on Airtable.  Then from the developers/API key section, I created a token.  I've copied the Token ID from the personal access tokens section and pasted it directly .env file. I filled the information correctly.Like this ; AIRTABLE_API_KEY=pat*************AIRTABLE_BASE=app8Knnd8Y8wQirZXAIRTABLE_TABLE=products  Then I tested the connection. with this code block;const dotenv = require("dotenv");dotenv.config();const Airtable = require("airtable-node");const airtable = new Airtable({ apiKey: process.env.AIRTABLE_API_KEY })  .base(process.env.AIRTABLE_BASE)  .table(process.env.AIRTABLE_TABLE);exports.handler = async (event, context, cb) => {  try {    const response = await airtable.list({ maxRecords: 200 });    console.log("####");    console.log(response);    console.log("####");    return {      statusCode: 200,      body: "products route",&

hi all - reached out to airtable support directly but they honestly never answer and suck tbh so i figured hopefully someone can help me here ( I even got a email asking me to rate the help given by a support agent when I had zero contact with anyone) Anyways.I embdedded my table into my webflow website, but there are TWO worksheets within the worksheet. On my webflow website it only shows one. How do I allows people to switch between the worksheets? See Loom. https://www.loom.com/share/c55eb9be4b934e56a9af82c31110619d?sid=aa61e156-e620-4df2-b267-35ee875c7b10

I have two tables as follows:Matters table:Matter(s)DescriptionClient NameLead SourceBills table:Client NameMatter(s)Total ($)Both of these tables are pulling from two different data sources. I need a way to combine them both into one table so that table 3 is as follows:Lead Source# Matter(s)Total ($)I believe the best way to do this is to create records, but I'm not sure. In addition to combining the data from two tables into one, I also need the data to stay consistent (i.e. Client Name on matters table and bills table combine into one data set on 3rd table so that Lead Source and Matters can be "associated" with them.)If anyone knows of a way to approach this, I would appreciate the help. I've been working on it for over a week.

With the upcoming announcement, I'm moving tools to OAUTH away from personal access tokens.Much of the work is on a locally hosted server that will be talking to Airtable, so client-credentials-flow seems appropriate here for machine-to-machine interaction.I have a secret and am following the recommended OAUTH examples. It seems that the documentation really outlines the user grant really well, but the client grant isnt described. For example, I won't have a auth code, PKCE, or challenge answer with my token request, will I? I'm hitting the service, but am getting 401-Unauthorized..Now to my question:Is there a specific OAUTH client-credentials definition I can use to make sure I'm sending all the required fields?  

I am trying to do a simple GET request using Airtable API in Postman to retrieve my records. But it's not working. I am a newbie here, any help is much appreciated.GET: https://api.airtable.com/v0/appkEdlvHkUVyG1QC/Sample%201?maxRecords=3Headers: "Authorization": Bearer Personal_Access_token

Um, yeah - it is. But first, a little of the backstory. As is often the case just when you’ve thought you’ve seen it all, a client asks - Is it possible to chain blocks and run them sequentially - as one completes, the next one starts? No, right? But then she tossed in another requirement - The computational results from the first block must be available to the next block and sometimes to all subsequent blocks. Oy! Nothing like a mind-bender for a Monday morning. This business requirement is daunting – indeed, impossible given the nature of Script Blocks. I’m sure the Airtable folks have pondered this, but as it stands, it’s off the table for now, right? Indeed, Script Blocks are simply not capable … until and unless … you factor in the amazing power of that which Airtable is known and most famous for - simple data/content management with an intimate relationship with integrated script. Often, it is the alchemy of data and code that spark the most remote possibilities into a new re

Why when loading words with the api, it does not load accents or letrta ñ??? Spanish characters

Hi there, I'm trying to create a script that takes data from Airtable and updates it into Memberstack JSON. I went this scripting route because I couldn't figure out a no-code alternative to this. The problem is I'm not getting any errors messages with my console logs and I don't know where to start on debugging what's wrong. Here is my setup: const MEMBERSTACK_API_KEY = 'API KEY HERE'; const AIRTABLE_API_TOKEN = 'API KEY HERE'; const AIRTABLE_BASE_ID = 'appFifDmh7qLKggjt'; const AIRTABLE_TABLE_ID = 'tblH65jLDy3WXddUQ'; const AIRTABLE_VIEW_ID = 'viwOTOaTHeGogrF5h'; // Function to update Memberstack user profiles async function updateMemberstackProfiles() { try { // Fetch records from Airtable const airtableUrl = `https://api.airtable.com/v0/${AIRTABLE_BASE_ID}/${AIRTABLE_TABLE_ID}?view=${AIRTABLE_VIEW_ID}`; const airtableHeaders = { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${AIRTABLE_API_TOKEN}`, }, }; const airtableResponse = await f

Can I assume that the order of the record IDs returned by table.createRecordsAsync does match the order of the records to create in the function argument?

I absolutely hate not being able to see the column title name unless i want to make the column width 2084985 feet. While it seems simple in nature, this is why i prefer Smartsheet. I want to be able to have columns sized appropriately with legible column headers and not have to scroll over to view.

I'm trying to create an extension which makes an external API POST call.First I tried to make a simple fetch call, but it is failing due to CORS policy:const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({key: 'value'}) });But then in Block source I have found method unstable_fetchAsync(requestJson).const requestJson = { method: 'POST', url: 'https://api.example.com/data', headers: [ ["Content-Type", "application/json"] ], body: btoa(JSON.stringify({key: 'value'})), redirect: 'manual', integrity: null } await unstable_fetchAsync(requestJson);It's working as expected, but the name is suspicious. Also, this method is not documented anywhere. I'm afraid that after creating the extension, I will not be able to submit it for public usage. Is this safe to use unstable_fetchAsync or there is another way to make

Hello,I am trying to make an API call on Zapier and i am getting below error. I am unable to debug this error. When i test on Postman, it works absolutely fine.   

Hi support team!I am building custom extension using airtable blocks sdk.Workflow here.1. When I click "Get companies" button in extension section, the extension will call 3rd party API.2. The API returns the result as a JSON format. Json contains record Ids of a table named "All companies".3. After this, I want to refresh airtable view of a table that is selected record ids returned from API.Is it possible?Please help me, thanks.

I’m currently using nocodeapi.com to reduce the costs associated with my Make operations, but their app hasn’t been updated to the new API specifications yet.  Does anyone know of a similar app or service I could use?
