Workaround for deletion of old records in a new CSV import

[Marc_Maurer]

hi there,

I know that there is a feature request out there for removing/deleting records from a new CSV import.

Deletion of old data on new csv import Product Suggestions

When doing a new CSV import, you can add records, modify existing ones, but you can’t delete records from your old table that aren’t in the new dataset. It would be good to have this as an option, or at least highlight the records that are from a previous import which weren’t present in a new csv import.

As such a feature becomes quite important to me I wanted to ask if there are any ideas around how one can use a CSV import to automatically delete records that are not part of the new CSV file that was used for update. The use case are the CSV import of a salesforce report. As sales people sometimes disqualify accounts on the list, they should be removed in the airtable as well.

Looking forward to see if they are alternatives thinkable without me always starting from scratch (with a fresh CSV download and a re-creation of all formulas, views, and charts.

Thank you,
Marc

Hi @Marc_Maurer

One way that you might be able to do this, is using Integromat, an automation app.

They have a Facebook page group, under Integromat.

Hope this might help.
