For the last month, we have been quietly working on something big - our second major integration - Airtable! This has been the most highly requested integration from our users so we wanted to get it done as soon as possible. :)
Previously, to import and update data, you only had 2 options: copy & paste from spreadsheet or link it to a Google Sheets file. Now, you can also import and update map data by simply linking it to one of your Airtable tables!
How it works?
I. IMPORT data
Simply click on "Sync with Airtable"
Enter your Airtable API key in the space provided
Enter your Airtable URL
Click on the "Import" button
IMPORTANT UPDATE TO AIRTABLE
Airtable has deprecated usage of API Keys since Feb 2024. New integrations shall use Personal Access Tokens going forward and it's 100% compatible with us.
You need to create a new Personal Access Token instead (above the "Developer Key" item in the menu) . The new token has a format of "patXXXXX" and is much longer than the old keys. When it asks you to set permission scopes, can you set the scope to:
1. data.records:read
2. schema.bases:read
II. UPDATE data
Once you have connected your Airtable data, there are two ways you can update your date:
Automatically
In Step 2, you can set up automatic data sync. All you need to do is choose the frequency.
Manually
Simply click on "Sync with Airtable" again, and click on "Sync the latest data"
III. Change file link
If you want to change the Airtable link, simply click on the "unlink URL" button then you will be able to add in a new URL.
Now we have Airtable integration completed, we will start working on the next highly requested integration - Webflow CMS! :) So please stay tuned for much more! :)
