Using airtable data to build a .cjs file

[Liam_Garrod]

Hi there, I have a use case I want to test with airtable. I would like to update some .cjs files that are located on github using airtable data to update the values of certain variables.

So for example, the .cjs file might have 5 variables in, and i want to send the value of these from airtable to github and update the file. the values will have been gathered from various stakeholder using airtable forms and views embebed into confluence docs.

is this possible using the airatable API?

Welcome to the community, @Liam_Garrod!

Airtable offers a basic GitHub automation action:

Airtable Automation Actions GitHub | Airtable Support

This article covers the process of adding an automation action that will either create a new issue or update an issue in the GitHub...

(Airtable also offers a one-way sync of GitHub pull requests to Airtable, but that isn’t what you’re looking for.)

If Airtable”s built-in GitHub automation action isn’t powerful enough for what you need, then you’ll need to custom-create your own solution by doing one of these 3 things:

(1) Write your own custom JavaScript scripts (using Airtable’s scripting extension or run script automation action).
or
(2) Write your own custom API calls using datafetcher.com
or
(3) Do this in a no-code/low-code way by using an integration tool like Make.com that offers comprehensive support for both GitHub and Airtable:
