Development & APIs

We are trying to set up an 0Auth connection for retool. Unfortunately the Dialog to define Scopes and select the Base does not load/open at all. When I click “grant Access”, a loading wheel appears but nothing ever happens. Does anyone have an idea where the problem could be ?  

Is there a solution to sync Jira which is an on premise version NOT Jira Cloud. When in the office I have access to both Jira and Airtable which are behind firewalls. Are there any solutions maybe with MCP Browserbase or other type of way to extract data not via API but through the browser and sync with Airtable. 

Here’s my thinking. I like the simplicity of Airtable’s own “Export CSV” function. Data in a spreadsheet as a simple backup is all I am after. If “Export CSV” could be triggered via a script, the entire process could be automated. A new record could be the trigger to run this script. Does anyone know if this is even possible? Thank you!

Hi all — every time I try to import a Google Sheet into Airtable, I get this error:"Can’t import from Google Sheets — Something is wrong with Google API."This happens regardless of which sheet I try. The sheet is shared properly and I'm logged in with the right Google account. Is this a known issue with the Google Sheets sync or a permissions problem? Would appreciate any tips on fixing or working around this (besides switching to Excel!).Thanks!

Hi all 🙂 Please, is there any way so I can convert emails to PDF?I have a TaskRobin integration, and would like to save my incoming emails in PDF format.Thank you 🙂

Thanks @openside for your famous post "New Script: Same Table Linked Records Backlinks".Is there a way to use this in automation so that whenever the Parent task is updated, the child task runs? How would you need to modify the script?

Hi, I’ve been using Airtable for a few years and a heavy automation user with Make.com and Zapier. However, I don’t have any programming experience whatsoever.The script is used as one of the steps in my Airtable automation. I’m in need of a script that:Takes a value from a field Multiple that value by -1 (negative 1) Return that value as input for the next step in my Airtable automationI’ve just started online course on Javascript, but this course obviously takes time and I need the script right away. It would be great if someone can help me out with this so I can implement it right away. From my online course, I know that the code should be straight forward enough even for someone with basic command of Javascript.Thanks!

I’m using the pyairtable python package, and I’m looking for a way to delete columns in a table and reorder columns based on how they are named (e.g. if the columns are dates, I want the most recent date to be the left most column). Not sure if there is a way to do this using python, but I’m hoping I wont have to do this manually. Thanks in advance!

I have a lot of documents that want to organize. Airtable only allows photos. It would be great to add a scan feature.

I just signed up for Twilio, including a A2- 10DLC registration. I tried to send a couple test from Airtable, but Twilio says Undeliverable because I’m not registered. Does it really take up to two weeks to have an A2p 10DLC registration approved? Is there anyway to send or test twilio in the meantime?

I'm following the documentation correctly but getting"error": {"type": "INVALID_PERMISSIONS_OR_MODEL_NOT_FOUND","message": "Invalid permissions, or the requested model was not found. Check that both your user and your token have the required permissions, and that the model names and/or ids are correct."}Even though my access token has all the permission that I can add init. Also it has permission for viewing all the bases and all the future base

**Subject: How to Protect an Airtable App from Copying and Resale?**  Hi everyone,  I’m developing an Airtable application and have found a developer to finalize it. However, I want to ensure that they **can’t copy or resell my work**.  What are the best practices to:  - **Limit permissions** (prevent duplication of the base)  - **Restrict access to automation and API keys**  - **Secure the app using interfaces**  - **Legally protect my project (NDA, intellectual property rights)**  If anyone has experience with securing their Airtable setup or has practical suggestions, I would really appreciate your insights! 😊  Thanks in advance for your help.   

Hello, how can I create a PDF document in automation? I want to create a PDF from a database to send as an attachment, is this possible?

I'm wondering if you can use data from a synced table in the pdf generator template? It looks like you can, but it's not showing up correctly in the template, so now I'm not so sure. Haaalp.

Hi, I'm trying to create a custom document, using Documint, but each time I'm put the "create buttom" the emerge page showed up the follow message: "Error while fetching Airtable data: You are not authorized to perform this operation"Can you help me?Thanks

Can we *please* get an Airtable API that supports native stats operations?  I’m tired of having to ship data *outside* of Airtable in order to get this information.

I’m looking for an experienced Airtable expert to help develop an MVP platform for a modular workflow and data tracking toolkit focused on operational delivery of sustainability or performance commitments. The tool is designed to support teams and suppliers in delivering on tiered targets (e.g. Bronze/Silver/Gold), track data and activity at project level, and surface both progress and recurring barriers. The front end will be built in Softr or a similar no-code interface to allow intuitive access for different user types (e.g. project teams, suppliers, funders).  🔧 Core Airtable Build Requirements:  Projects must be able to select from Bronze, Silver, or Gold commitment levels, which trigger:  Tailored workflow prompts  Role-based task assignment  Procurement guidance aligned to the selected ambition  Data collection requirements (e.g. q

Hello,  I am trying to write a script that will automatically match records. The Base set up is as follows. Table 1: Contacts. Table 2: Has. Table 3: Needs. Table 4: Matches. Contacts and Matches are self explanatory. The Needs table consists of “Buy Boxes” for real estate investors. i.e. Property type, max price, number of bedrooms, state, city, etc. The Has table is where new opportunities are entered. The goal of the script is to then automatically match new entries in the Has table with open Buy Boxes in the Needs table, then score the matches based on the number of criteria that match, different criteria will have different weights. Null in either Has or Needs table should not effect the result.  I am having a lot of trouble with this, as there are many variables in the Needs section. 

Has anyone been able to successfully use the Airtable API Request action in Zapier to make a PATCH request? I was able to get it to work for a DELETE request but no matter what I do the PATCH is returning “The app returned "Could not find field "fields" in the request body".”. Even when I test with something simple n the Body like like {"fields": {"Name": "New Value"}}Am I missing something obvious or could this be an issue on the backend? 

Hi, is it possible to sync a Firebase database with Airtable? I want to use Airtable as a way to support additional workflows but also update the original Firebase collections with any changes made in Airtable.

Hi Airtable builders! As I needed it, I created an app (SyncBase) to do real-time sync between Shopify and Airtable. It turns out that hundreds of Shopify merchants are finally using it.Today, we’re releasing a key feature: Shopify metaobjects sync with Airtable.  You can now update your metaobjects entries (it syncs both way) and even create ones from Airtable.If any builder of the Airtable community is keen to try it, just ping me here. I’ll let you access to the demo.🤙Théau

Hi everyone! We’re excited to announce one of our newest features - REST API Upserts. You can now add an upsert option performUpsert to the Update records API endpoint, so that if a matching record is not found, it will create the record instead. More details about this new feature can be found in the API documentation, under the Update records section. If you have any feedback about this feature, please submit via this form. Example request: curl -X PATCH https://api.airtable.com/v0/[base ID]/[table name or ID] \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data '{ "performUpsert": { "fieldsToMergeOn": [ "Name" ] }, "records": [ { "fields": { "Name": "Kick off design work", "Status": "In progress" } },
