In my automation script I am running a fetch request. In some cases the fetch requests takes longer than 30 seconds which results in an error. I don't really care about the fetch request result because it is a post request that is doing all it needs to however the error each time it runs is annoying.Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can run the fetch request without waiting for a response? Or perhaps there is a way to handle the error gracefully?

I am trying to understand how Airtable API Rate limits work. It says The API is limited to 5 requests per second per base. If you exceed this rate, you will receive a 429 status code and will need to wait 30 seconds before subsequent requests will succeed. Is the limit per base per API key or per base per IP address?. Saw an answer in the forum but it is 4 years old and mentions airtable plans to change how it works. I ran a simple code to try and trigger rate limiting but airtable api was able to successfully respond to more than 20 api requests per second without running into api throttling

Hi, in order to consent my bank service platform to receive api requests from airtable, I need to put on his whitelist the ip address from which API Requests comes.Reading documentation I found they should be 52.44.24.118 and 3.215.151.50but not working...Any suggestions?ThanksPeppe 

Hi everyone,I’m working on a workflow where I’d like to bring live job costing data from QuickBooks Online into Airtable, specifically linked to Projects (i.e. QBO “Customers” with IsProject=true).The goal is to have Airtable show income and costs by project, so that project profitability and job cost tracking are always up to date. Ideally this would cover both accrual (Invoices, Bills, etc.) and cash-basis (Payments, BillPayments, Expenses, Checks, etc.) transactions — pulling the amounts tied to each project’s CustomerRef and syncing them into Airtable tables for Projects and Job Cost Lines.Has anyone here implemented something like this — a live sync or near real-time integration between QuickBooks and Airtable for job costing by project?

Hi everyone,I'm looking for advice on implementing a nightly data sync workflow.My Setup:CSV file with 25,000 records that needs to sync to an Airtable table Currently using the Sync API, which has a 10,000 record limit Need to perform a complete refresh (delete all + re-sync) every nightThe Challenge: Since my dataset is 2.5x larger than the sync limit, I need to send the data in 3 batches. However, I'm struggling to find the right approach to:Clear the entire table before syncing Successfully sync all 25,000 records in multiple batchesWhat I've Tried:Various sync configuration settings Setting up a webhook-triggered automation to delete all records before syncing Different batching strategiesMy Question: Has anyone successfully implemented a nightly sync workflow for CSV data that e

Dear Airtable community I need your help, please. We’re currently using Pipedrive (PD) to track our customers throughout the sales process and I’d really like to automate adding information to Airtable (AT). Does anyone know if there is a way that, when an orders is WON on PD that this customer record can automatically be created in AT? We have broadly similar fields, but from looking at Zapier, I can only see this linked to all activity updates/ creation of records, but not specifically something that ‘runs’ when an order is WON. Really hope you can help…! If I’m missing something that would help answer the question, do please ask and hopefully this is something that I can get up and running. Thanks in advance, Mark

My Team plan has reached its API Public rate limit, evidently.It’s never happened before.How do I see my usage?Is there anything I can do-- can I get some more for this period?

We would like to keep the permissions of two bases (one a clone of the other) in sync.In order to do this, is it possible to manage permissions via the Airtable API?Specifically: field-level, table-level, and base-level permissions.Thank you

Hi, I am pretty new to this and not a developer. We are using Airtable for our product database for our Shopify store, and have Airpower as the sync between them. This works pretty good, but there is one major thing we need that Airpower does not support.We need the number of "committed" inventory of the products to sync from Shopify into Airtable in real-time. Right now, the Airpower Inventory sync only brings the "available" number through, but both are required for us, and we need the data to by syncing constantly so it's up to date.Is this something we could use a webhook for? Or is there a simpler process?

HiI want to be able to generate a barcode/QR code upon approval of incoming goods.Once generated, each packet that has been approved (receipted) from incoming goods needs to be able to be printed in bulk along with the details of each packet.The packet tag will then need to be viewed within Softr interface when scanned via the users mobile camera.Anyone have experience with making this work with Softr as front end (for taking the camera scan) with AT as backend? Or any suggestions?​@ScottWorld  ​@Mike_AutomaticN ​@TheTimeSavingCo ?

Hi Airtable builders!Thanks to SyncBase (my Airtable - Shopify integration), you can now create new Shopify Products and Variants directly from Airtable. How does it work?Once you installed the app (can be found on the Shopify App Store), select “Products & Variants” as data you want to sync.  The app will create for you new synced-tabs into a new base (or an existing one if you’d prefer). In the Products tab you will be able to create new records (blank or with already prefilled data). Each new record creation will trigger a product creation in Shopify (draft status, no stress :D). => And of course, you will then be able to edit all this Product data from Airtable too.  Happy to get your feedback a

Hello. Am developing an app using Flutter. Would like to find if I can use Airtable as my database. Is there an API that I can use to integrate Airtable with Flutter? Will need to be able to do all CRUD operations. If so, is there any documentation that I can refer to? Thank you!

Hi all! I’m looking for an app that will allow, either via direct integration or Zapier, for the dynamic creation of a pre-filled document for e-signature. There are tons of options (too many) out there, but I’ve yet to find something which meets all of my requirements: Create a pre-filled, yet still editable, document with data from Airtable (likely triggered by Zapier) Get the URL to that document BEFORE sending it to the signer. I do not want to send the document to a signer from the app itself. Rather, I want to retain the link in Airtable, and send it off to an individual in an email, based on a separate trigger. Trigger Zapier upon receipt of the signed doc I’ve tried many apps… I had high hopes for Formstack Documents and the new block, but upon sending the created document to Formstack Sign, the document is flattened and the signer can no longer edit any fields. PandaDoc doesn’t give you a URL to th

I’ve been banging my head against a wall here. `block run` appears to run successfully but the webserver isn’t returning content and instead is returning a 404. A `block release` works successfully and I can see the `Hello World` in my extension. It’s running on port 9000 and it’s listening cause I get a response, it just doesn’t have any content.Any ideas?

I am using airtable to dynamic my website content and erliear it was working but now because of i have free version and too many request are there in the website so it shows me “429” error code and data doesnot fetched.

Hi, I see that Airtable doesn't list a php sdk, but I found 2 and saw another user on here mention another.  So, what's the most current, works with the current and near future api?  I’d like to get started but don't want to spin my wheels on a dead sdk.  Thanks :)

Hi everyone! Hoping someone here can give me a hand 🙂ContextI’m building an automation with n8n + Airtable to generate training plans and workouts.Airtable structureI have two tables: Training Plans Each record corresponds to one person (with their athletic info). This record is the input for generating workouts. Workouts This is where the sessions created by OpenAI through n8n are stored (workout type, description, etc.). It has a field “Link to another record” pointing to Training Plans, so each workout can be linked back to its plan. Desired relationship: One plan (1) → many workouts (N).

Hi everyone,My company has ~100–150 employees with a small dev team of 2–3 developers. Our developers are looking to start building custom Interface Extensions for Airtable, while still allowing some of our more technical team members to continue using Omni to build simple bases themselves. I’d like to set up proper version control in GitHub so the dev team can collaborate effectively. My main questions: Do you use GitHub (or another system) for version control with Airtable custom extensions? If so, do you manage everything in a monorepo(shared libs + extensions for multiple bases) or separate repos per base? Any best practices for balancing developer workflows with contributions from more technical, but non-developer, teammates? Would love to hear how others are approaching this. Thanks!

Does anyone know if there is a special developer account or registration method that allows us to use the features of Enterprise as developers so we can showcase things for our clients? For example, I am currently hitting the 125k record limit in a mission critical base located in our primary Business tier workspace. I have no business upgrade path as I am not on Enterprise myself and yet I need to be able to support our client at the Enterprise level without joining their organization.

If anyone is interested we created an Airtable Shopify Integration (SyncBase) as we needed it.It instantly syncs your store data both way so you can update your products catalog, received orders to follow your raw materials stocks and do a lot of others importants operations.We planned to create our custom ERP on Airtable and then use this app to received and send data to Shopify.Happy to get your feedbacks in order to improve it!

Is there any option to integrate Adobe e-signature with Airtable? If yes, can someone please guide me through it?Based on the data entered in the Airtable, I want to create a PDF file which would be mailed to 4 different people to sign it. I also want to know that how can I create a PDF based on the data entered and automate to send it to all the people in the list and get it signed one by one with first in the list as first and so on. 

Hi, I’m trying to follow the extension first tutorial and I have an issue when I load the “http://localhost:9000” website : “Cannot GET /”. Any idea for this issue? Best,
