![]() ![]() The thing is, that Airtable is not allowing us to access the private part of their API. I contacted them via their support site and received the following response from their CEO (no less):Īirtable has a private part of API which is (for example) used by Zapier. HOWEVER, for Airtable users there is a problem in that the interface is limited and buggy at the moment. A downside, though, is that it doesn’t have as many connections yet. Other advantages over Zapier include the ability to have branching logic (equivalent to If… ElseIf… Else…) and to inherently handle multiple returned values and perform subsequent steps for all of them (which is only possible in Zapier using some code). I was able to do this in a free Integromat account in about 5 minutes! I couldn’t get this to work with Zapier for several reasons so searched for an alternative. I have tried Integromat and I think it’s very promising indeed.įor a project, I was looking to be able to move photos out of a database (not Airtable this time), resize them, store them in Google Drive and then add a link back to them in the database. This is a major benefit for keeping our non-profit organisation’s database current. Integromat has a free limit of 1000 operations per month as opposed to Zapier’s 100. The UI is very different from Zapier’s and I like the way that the data-flows resulting from a trigger are depicted graphically. There are many more places in Integromat to set filters or conditions. ![]() Not tried yet but will as you can’t do this in Zapier as far as I know. Integromat says it can update Airtable records. Integromat does not work with Airtable views. Zapier detects if there is either a new row or an updated GS row but Integromat only looks for new rows. My most common integration is from form-related data in Google Sheets to Airtable so this is where I am exploring initially. Therefore use a test Airtable database to experiment with. With Integromat one can (unintentionally) update all or many records if your configuration is not correct or completed. In the later only one record can be updated during the test step. The Integromat design console does not guide one step by step in the way that Zapier does when creating a new integration. ![]() Yes I have been testing by comparing with Zapier.įirstly word of warning. ![]()
