Airtable Importer: Google Spreadsheets add-on

google spreadsheets is able to export (export) airtable data with this application

Hi,

Just installed this today.

It pulled the data for the first time and since has show the following error.

Script Error - No item with the given ID or you dont have permission.

Jason…

Thank you, Jason for your interest in our add-on! We’re in touch in support tread. Hope you’ll get the issue resolved soon.

We use Google Sheets with several tabs, formulas, vlookups, and links to data in other tabs. A .csv import into Airtable won’t capture all that complexity. Can your add-on do it?

Once we’ve imported everything, we won’t use Google Sheets anymore.

Google Sheets and Airtable follow two very different… well, ‘world-views’ is probably not far off. In Airtable’s case, the spreadsheet analogy is perhaps best thought of as the ‘elevator pitch’ for the product; a spreadsheet-based application design cannot be easily ported. Your best approach would be to strip the Sheets app back to functional requirements and reimplement the application under Airtable. If that’s more than you’re willing to take on yourself, there are a number of Airtable-savvy consultants and integrators available to help.

Awesome work, congrats!

One question though, what about security?

Can the developers, devops or someone from Railsware see my data?

Thanks Railware for sharing this awesome add on with the Airtable community and for making the basic tier free to use. We’ve mentioned you in a blog on how to connect Airtable to Google Data Studio by using your add on! https://medium.com/@optimi/you-too-can-make-dashboards-how-to-visualise-your-airtable-data-in-google-data-studio-d376bf4ccfaf

Hi,

This Rails sounds like a great tool! It's always helpful to have different options and tools available to make work more efficient and effective. I hope your add-on helps many people who use both Airtable and Google Sheets. Thanks for sharing it with others!

In my personal opinion, the best & easiest way to communicate between Google Sheets and Airtable is to use Make's Google Sheets automations & integrations.

There is a small learning curve with Make, which is why I created this basic navigation video to help. In that thread, I also provide the links to a few other Make training resources there as well.
