So I just purchased Airtable for our business use case.
I am devastated to understand there is no support for creating new tables automatically.
The only way to do this is to have a custom app script, however this would need to be triggered manually and will not run in the background…
Why does the automation scripting not contain the required functionality that the blocks SDK does? Why is this feature limited to only reading table metadata, if blocks SDK can do it - why can’t the automation scripts?
This is so disappointing… I CANNOT BELIEVE the standard API does not have a create table endpoint, where you can define the fields automatically. How are we supposed to develop an automated solution if we constantly have to manually press buttons to create new tables…
And upon searching the community pages - there is not one response from the airtables team that shows they will work on this feature or when.
What a waste of money upgrading to the pro plan to see inside the automation scripts is nothing useful.
The reason why I am angry is because of the lack of transparency in the docs.
