Development & APIs

I don’t see anything anywhere that says it can, however, I wonder if someone has figured it out.

Does anyone know of a way to create an automation where when a new recording is created, it uses the GPT chat API as the first column for text input and the second column to get the output response from the GPT chat? For example, column 1 (input) = Hi, how are you? and column 2 (response) = Hi, I'm doing great!The native GPT chat in Airtable is quite expensive.

Hello everybody, Here is my situation : I have a table of CONTACT(1900 records) and a table of COMPANY (800 records), I have all ready set a link in between them. Now I would like to insert a junction table : JOB.If i use the junction script it will create all the link possible (1520000 records). Is it possible to add a condition in it so the script will create the record in the JOB table only when a link already existe between CONTACT and COMPANY?Thank very muchPlatane

hi im really struggling with something that i think should be easy but is very challenging to get right. I’ve been tinkering with scripts, automations and apps now to basically just manage one field in one of my tables. I am creating a scope of work configurator that has a list of components in one table and in another table i want to create records for each distinct project that I create. What i would like to happen is to have a checkbox in the components table and then run a script to fire at my command, to then have a chosen record in the projects table to link to all checked records and then pull in the data it has to run a simple calculation/formula on to get a result that totals an estimate for the amount of hours it would take to complete all the checked items. I need each project to be distinct so i can continue to update its unique record based on what’s checked in my script/app without having to create new tables or new bases for each distinct project.

Hello,I don’t have a lot of scripting experience but feel like this one should be simple. However, I can not find my error; it’s probably something super simple and I’m just not seeing it.Here are the two simple tables I have: So in the Day table, when the Week linked field is missing, I want a script to automatically update the field. Here is my script: The error is: 

Hi Everyone - I am very new to API development and coding all together. I need some help with a script I am trying to implement. I keep getting this error thrown Error: Request parameters failed validation. and I have no idea why.

Hello,Beginner here working on a MVP. Is it possible to create an interface with 6-8 photo carousels each with a drop down of filters? Or is that something beyond a beginner? Thanks!

Hello, I am trying to get a field named “Statsig Url” in a table named Experiments (this is a field with the url type). (My intent is to get the record id based on the value of the Statsig Url field). A filter will be applied in the url. let table = base.getTable("Experiments");console.table( await table.selectRecordsAsync( {"fields" : ["Experiment Name", "StatSig Link"]}));console.table( await table.selectRecordsAsync( {"fields" : table.fields}));I have tried with different approaches (testing other fields...). Each time I only get the primary key. 

Is there still no way to create reusable code in Automations?I see this thread from 2021, with 6k+ views, which seems to have no resolution (blockchaining is possible in Scripting Apps, but not Automations).  Someone must have solutions for this?  Copying/pasting seems prehistoric.

I've created a script that is attached to a view's button.In this script, I'm calling an API with remoteFetchAsync().  I need to supply basic authentication credentials, but btoa() and Buffer don't work in my script: const authorization = btoa(`${ credentials.username }:${ credentials.password }`)const authorization = Buffer.from(`${ credentials.username }:${ credentials.password }`).toString('base64')output.text(`authorization: ${authorization}`)Is there another option?Is TypeScript supported in a script that is triggered by a button?  If so, how do I enable it?FYI, the "Ask the community" link (https://community.airtable.com/c/developers/scripting) returns 404.

I’m trying to integrate SAP Business One (SAP B1) Service Layer API with Airtable scripting to fetch business partner data. The integration works perfectly in Postman and Python, but when I run the same API request inside an Airtable scripting block, I get the following error:401 - Invalid session or session already timeout. What I’ve Tried: Confirmed that it works in Postman and Python I can successfully authenticate and fetch data from SAP B1. Session ID is returned properly, and I manually add the ROUTEID. Using remoteFetchAsync() in Airtable Scripting I correctly pass Content-Type and Cookie headers. Even when I manually copy a working session ID from P

Hello, I’ve recently come across Airtable as I’m researching how to create a local business directory website. This tool seems really helpful for creating databases, however I’m not sure how this can be incorporated into my site, I’m building my own website, my dev knowledge is not vast right now as I have some refreshing to do, but it’ll just be in HTML/Javascript. Is it possible to incorporate this into my site, and then modify the appearance with some CSS? If so, can anyone help provide information or point me in the direction of the help article for this?Thank you!

Hello all,I have multiple tables each with multiple single-select fields that I have created via the Airtable API.352 separate fields across 40-something tables. When creating the tables and columns I am able to define the selection options for each column and everything works smoothy.However I can not set a default option for these columns when creating them through the API. It is far too many columns for it to be reasonable to manually set each column default in the UI, as it is I already have to do some manual operations to create a formula field in each of these tables after creation due to limitations in the API capabilities.Does anybody know of a way to set default values in my field en mass?The majority of the fields hold the same selection options and would have the same default option set.I would even accept nuking the fields and/or tables and recreating them if my creation call can be altered to set the defa

Hi Airtable Community,I'm building an Airtable-like application using React.js, Redux, Node.js, and MySQL. In my app, all records (raw data) are sent to the frontend, and I need to handle filtering, sorting, and grouping entirely on the client-side, without making API calls.I want to ensure efficient data handling and real-time UI updates while maintaining good performance, especially for large datasets.Some Considerations:How does Airtable handle large datasets on the frontend efficiently? Should I use IndexedDB, Web Workers, or in-memory filtering for better performance? How can I implement real-time UI updates when filtering/sorting large data in React.js? Are there any caching mechanisms (e.g., Apollo Client, Local Storage) that help optimize filtering/sorting?

This question is similar to what another person asked here:I would like to also:1- Select the fields where duplicates values exist.2- Select to keep the newest record to keep3- Run it and be done.however I would like this to be the case with newly created records as well. Every new record that contains a duplicate value in a field would be kept while the existing record with the same value would be deleted. This way the newest record with the value is kept, the old is deleted. The solution in the above link only works for existing records, not newly created records. So I was wondering if there is a way to delete records in this way in Airtable. fyi: my new records are being made using a post API request, if that information helps. thank you

Gents, do you know how to connect the Airtable db with Telegram bot?

Hello,I am having trouble getting a script to automatically generate records from two lists: bonus plan and staff list into “bonustable”. I was able to set up the automation steps to find the corresponding lists from the bonus plan and staff list. I have tried AI to get the script but it is not iterating each item from the input list. I also want to input the value year-month from the previous step of automation so that the created record already has year-month linked.Essentially I am looking for the following output:Jane / Bonus Plan A / 2025-03Jane / Bonus Plan B / 2025-03Jane / Bonus Plan C / 2025-03Ben / Bonus Plan A / 2025-03Ben / Bonus Plan B / 2025-03Ben / Bonus Plan C / 2025-03 Script is as follows:// Access input variables from previous automation stepsconst inputConfig

Hello is it possible to use NodeJS coding within Airtable Scripts? I have a library of API codes that were configured with NodeJS. However, I seem to have issues with Axios and request-promise…  Code Example:   Code Example:   Code Example: /////////////////////////////// Change these parameters ///////////////////////////////const API_UID = 'Oauth App UID from account settings';const PRIVATE_KEY = 'path/to/private/key.txt';/////////////////////////////const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');const rp = require('request-promise');if (!global['URL']) { global.URL = require('url').URL;}const fs = require('fs');let privateKey = fs.readFileSync(PRIVATE_KEY);let uri = new URL(`[REDACTED]`);let aud = `${uri.protocol}//${uri.

hello everyone, is there any way to filter the return using a GET call, I need it to return only the information of a column, which I call ID, I need my API return to show only the information corresponding to an ID, I can do that?

Hi,Does anyone have an idea on how to embed a stock chart into airtable that depends on the record chosen?  I have an example of an iframe:<iframe referrerpolicy="origin" width="100%" height="470" style="background: #FFFFFF;padding: 10px; border: none; border-radius: 5px; box-shadow:0 2px 4px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.2)" src="https://jika.io/embed/area-chart?symbol=AAPL&selection=one_year&closeKey=close&boxShadow=true&graphColor=1652f0&textColor=161c2d&backgroundColor=FFFFFF&fontFamily=Nunito"></iframe>The symbol of the stock (eg symbol=AAPL ) I have in a coloum/record; so I would need the option to pass the symbol to the iframe to change the content displayed (stock item) depending on the chosen recor

Hello,as explained in the title:I have a table "User" I have a single select field named "Color" 3 value possible: Red, Blue, Green Using make.com, I want to add dynamically a 4th option "yellow" So that the new possible value for this field would be: Red, Blue, Green, or YellowI am planning on doing it via Make.com using the API module and a PATCH but i wanted to check if it was possible to do it from an airtable perspective?thanks

Hello,I am a beginner and would like to use Airtable both as a database (clients, prospects, accounting) and as a CRM to schedule calls, SMS, and emails, similar to HubSpot, Zendesk, or PipeDrive. If Airtable allowed these actions directly from the database, it would closely resemble a CRM, but I’m not sure if this is natively possible.Since its interface already looks like a CRM, why doesn’t Airtable include built-in features for call reminders, SMS, or automated/one-click emails? If this isn’t available, is there a specific reason?From my research, it seems possible to achieve this using integrations with Make and external APIs, but a native solution would be much simpler.Here are the solutions I’m considering:Airtable / Make / Twilio or Messagebird: call reminders and SMS sending.Airtable / Make / Gmail / ChatGPT: automated email generation and sending (with manual validation) + em

Hello everyone,I’m encountering an issue when trying to use the Sync API to upload a CSV file to Airtable. Every time I send my request, I receive the following error message:“Column names must be non-empty strings.”I’ve carefully checked my CSV file, and everything seems fine. The column headers are properly defined, and there are no empty values. What’s more confusing is that when I manually import the same CSV file into Airtable through the UI, it works perfectly without any errors.I have double-checked that:• The CSV file is correctly formatted.• Column headers are valid and properly named.• There are no empty column names.• The same file works fine when imported manually via the UI.Has anyone else faced this issue with the Sync API? I

Hello Team,I'm trying to connect my Voiceflow Project with Airtable, but I received a "can't send request," "Make sure the domain is publicly available or try a different URL".  I tried to enable the API public access but I don't know to do that.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks. Regards,louise

The Template M Query provided by Airtable at this link which integrates Airtable with Power BI, does not allow scheduling refreshes in Power BI:Instead of allowing you to schedule the refresh, Power BI shows this message warning that the "dataset includes a dynamic data source."Previously, the other Template M Query, with the past API_KEY, allowed to schedule refreshes. Therefore, I think there has to be a way to ensure scheduling with the recent personal_access_token.Has anyone had this problem as well? If so, does anyone know how to change the template to make it work?
