I'm trying to set up a paypal scenario in Make.com that adds new paypal transactions into my airtable table. When I try to set up the airtable connection, I use OAUTH type, and it asks for a a URI Redirect URL. I don't have a clue what to use here. When I google, it asks what site I want people to redirect to, but that doesn't help me much.
Anyone able to advise?
Thanks.

Even though I typically love Make, there are serious & major problems with Make’s PayPal integrations.
I was never able to figure out the direct answer to what you’re trying to do, but I was able to figure out 2 workarounds to successfully watch for new payments in PayPal.
I discuss these 2 workarounds in this thread: https://community.make.com/t/paypal-watch-incoming-payments/34297/4
Also, you may want to open a support ticket with Make to see if they have finally come up with any solutions for what you are specifically trying to do, because Make seems to have just turned its back on its PayPal modules.
Hope this helps! If you’d like to hire an expert Airtable consultant to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld

Hey @JeffJohnVol
We can connect your Airtable with Make.com using OAuth, the Redirect URI is a crucial part of the authentication process. This URL tells Airtable where to send the authentication code once the user grants permission. In Make.com, the redirect URI you need to use should be provided by Make itself. You can usually find it within the connection setup screen under the "OAuth 2.0" settings.
- Go to Make.com and start creating a new Airtable connection.
- When prompted for authentication, check if Make provides a pre-generated Redirect URI—this is what you’ll enter in Airtable’s API settings.
- If Make doesn’t display it, check Make.com’s help documentation or contact support to retrieve the correct URL.
We can help you with your integrations, implementations, support, improvement, training, and services and you can also learn along the way!

Hm, I don't think you need to do that when you're connecting Make to Airtable? In Make, after selecting an Airtable module, you're presented with the option to add an OAuth connection, and once you click 'Add' this shows up:
Click 'Save' then opens a popup where you're able to select which bases this OAuth connection should have access to:
And once that's done you'll be able to interact with that selected Base via Make

The URI thing actually was part of creating the connection in Airtable's builder hub. I was able to use an integromat URL, and then it worked great after that. Thanks for the links. Though I did get some paypal data returned, it wasn't what I was hoping. I have to know the subscription id, and as part of my application, I have to get the application id's to check on their payments. I'll see if perhaps I can use the paypal api with the airtable scripting. Thanks Scott (and all others that replied).
