Airtable Automation Action: Send API/Webhook Request NOTE: Yes, this can be done via the ‘Run Script’ action, but having a structured input would be helpful to the average end user. Options Method: GET / POST URL Headers Parameters Authentication

What is the proposed idea/solution? A toggle to exclude any changes made via API in a record's Revision History. How does is solve the user problems? We have daily (some hourly) API updates to our records, which makes the Revision History too noisy to read when we're looking for changes made by actual users. Who is the target audience? Any users with regular API/Zapier/Make/etc automations linked to their bases.

We need a new event type in airtable for deleted records, so that we can trigger actions either in automations or in Zapier / MAKE based on that event. Example: When a record is deleted in airtable, I need to delete corresponding data in another database (external tool)

Would be a great feature to auto populate certain graphical information like logo’s and head shots alla FullContact. Example paste email in email field for a contact and then have it auto populate linkedin URL and photo from Linked in the the same contact. Full contact doesn’t do this for Logo’s only head shots. But I think pulling logo’s from a companies linked in page would also be interesting.

What is the proposed idea/solution? .As an CRO specialist i calculate the significance of test in google sheets and google analytics data. If: 1. Airtable was able to integrate GA4 end retrieve users and events and 2. offer a test-result Bayesian calculator then i would not have to exit the platform and use different tools to calculate significance of experiments. How does is solve the user problems? Users can calculate significance of test with traffic from google analytics or even ab-tasty. How was this validated? I have encountered the problem in several companies. Who is the target audience? CRO specialists and experimenters

The Scripting Block offers a number of asynchronous functions for collecting input from the user. To date, all the example scripts I’ve seen use these APIs one at a time in a sequential fashion, e.g. const name = await input.textAsync('What is your name?');
const birthplace = await input.textAsync('Where were you born?'); This pattern is serviceable, but it produces an unideal user experience: users are led on a forced march through one question at a time. That can be disorienting when folks run a script for the first time, and that’s particularly apparent when more input is required. Given that the APIs all return Promises, I expected to be able to compose them in parallel and prompt the user for all input simultaneously, e.g. const [name, birthplace] = await Promise.all([
input.textAsync('What is your name?'),
input.textAsync('Where were you born?')
]); That would show users the full extent of the required input “up-front” and offer them the freedom to provide it in a sequence of their choosing. In the Scripting Block today, the second code example does not function as intended. the UI is initially rendered according to the use case (both input fields are present) entering data into either field causes a “spinner” animation to be appended to the document (somewhat confusing, but not entirely disruptive) entering data into the second field causes an error to be displayed, e.g. ERROR
R: userInputStartTime
at main on line 30

Some APIs such as AWS allow you to have two working API keys at the same time so that you can rotate in the new one and rotate out the old one without requiring any downtime of your application. I suggest adding a similar feature to Airtable’s API key regeneration procedure so we can rotate API keys without requiring application downtime. Four different functions: Create New API key (maximum of two or three keys perhaps) Enable a disabled key Disable an enabled key Delete key
