@Dmitry_Pliska I’m getting an issue with the add on. It gives me the following error:
Error: Request failed: https://airtable-proxy-server.herokuapp.com/?sharedUrl=https://airtable.com…
It doesn’t matter what base I try to use it from, so I cut off the rest of the sharing link there, but I do give it a full valid link. Please advise.
Hi Larry,
Sorry for inconvenience, sometimes server goes down. Just restarted it, should work fine.
Hi @Dmitry_Pliska!
Thanks for this awesome Add on.
Question, is it possible to have Airtable only update the columns that are actually in Airtable? Meaning, if Airtable only has 3 columns, and I have 7 columns in Sheets, whatever is in column 7 will still get erased upon update from the Add on, even though there is no 7th column in Airtable. Is there a way to protect data added in Sheets so that it doesn’t get erased when the update goes through?
Thanks!
Hi, no, add-on just re-imports Airtable data and overwrites the whole sheet.
As a solution, I would suggest you to follow approach we are using in the company:
=datasource!A1:L38
and use this sheet as you want since it’ll never be overwritten by Airtable ImporterHope it helps
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.
