remoteFetchAsync not working

[wheels_2go]

Today any script that I was using remoteFetchAsync (to avoid CORS errors) is giving me this error:

 j: Error: Bad request: <root>.requestJson is missing

This error comes up on a few requests to different unrelated APIs. Additionally, some which work using regular fetch give this error when using remoteFetchAsync.

These scripts were working fine until now. Any ideas?

Replacing removeFetchAsync with fetch worked for me as well! 🙌

Thanks @rudrava 😊

I tried to use a bypass CORS extension (e.g https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/allow-cors-access-control/lhobafahddgcelffkeicbaginigeejlf) (or enable CORS on API server), then update the script to use fetch instead of remoteFetchAsync. This is a workaround solution while waiting for AirTable to fix this.

^^^^^

@quyvo's temporary workaround will work for most cases if you only need to test your script, there are some services that will still block you although you are using fetch and the allow cors chrome plugin is on (I have a gcloud run service that I can get the workaround to work and fetch the data from but when I need to make another call to a gcloud function I still get an error).

Did anyone hear from Airtable's support? currently still waiting for an answer about the issue.

I found people in this threads are facing the same problem, but the work around can be done based on your environment.

Case 1. remoteFetchAsync was inside your automation script. Here you can switch from remoteFetchAsync to fetch, then it will be solved.

Case 2. remoteFetchAsync was inside your extension script. In this case, the script will be run using a browser, so you will still not be able to switch to fetch as and Airtable frontend still block you with CORS related issue. So, you will need to migrate your extension script to automation script.

Case 2 How?

You will need to create an automation trigger e.g. when a record is updated (maybe a check box) -> then run your migrated script. Also, if you need inputs, you need to change input.recordAsync() to input.config()

Well, this way solves the problem on my side completely.

But wait?? why we need to do these ourselves?

Airtable Support team please wakeup, your morning is burning!! 😅

We have a time critical email we need to send to 500+ users via the SendGrid extension right now. What is the ETA for this?
