A lot of differents issues with Existing Airtable Modules since 28/03/2025

What are you trying to achieve?

Hi Community,

We are an Automation Agency that works extensively with Make (and have a good understanding of the product). However, since Friday, 28/03/2025, we’ve encountered numerous small and occasionally significant issues with the Airtable module in our production scenarios (which had been working smoothly for months).

Sometimes, Make fails to read all data from a table, and sometimes it fails to write data. In most cases, the module doesn’t return any error messages. It simply doesn’t read or write data as it normally would.

The only error message we’ve received so far is a strange “Error 406: {code: not_acceptable}”. It’s impossible to debug, as running the module manually with the same data works, but it fails in the scenario. We’ve resolved the issue by simply cloning the module and using the cloned module (without making any changes).

This behavior is really strange and affects many of our scenarios. We’ve opened a ticket, but I wanted to know if the community has experienced similar issues.

Thanks.

Steps taken so far

  • clone module
  • open tickets

Screenshots: scenario setup, module configuration, errors

Welcome to the Make community!

I’m confused reading your question. You are referring to Airtable modules, but your screenshot shows a Text Parser module.

It looks like your Text Parser module is outputting invalid JSON, which you can verify by pasting into https://jsonformatter.org.

You have not yet provided sufficient information to demonstrate the problem that would allow us to reproduce the scenario and any error(s).

If you need further assistance, please provide the following:

1. Relevant Screenshots

Could you please share screenshots of your full scenario? Also include screenshots of any error messages, module settings (fields), relevant filter settings (conditions), and module output bundles. We need to see what you’re working with to give you the best advice.

You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:

We would appreciate it if you could upload screenshots here instead of linking to them outside of the forum. This allows us to zoom in on the image when clicked, and prevent tracking cookies from third-party websites.

2. Scenario Blueprint

Please export the scenario blueprint. Providing your scenario blueprint file will allow others to quickly recreate and see how you have set up the mappings in each module, and also allows us take screenshots or provide module exports of any solutions we have for you in return - this would greatly benefit you in implementing our suggestions as you can simply paste module exports back into your scenario editor!

To export your scenario blueprint, click the three dots at the bottom of the editor then choose ‘Export Blueprint’.

You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:

3. Output Bundles of Modules

Please provide the output bundles of each of the relevant modules by running the scenario (you can also get this without re-running your scenario from the History tab).

Click on the white speech bubbles on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.

A. Upload as a Text File

Save each bundle contents in a plain text editor (without formatting) as a bundle.txt file.

You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:

B. Insert as Formatted Code Block

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles.
These are the two ways to format text so that it won’t be modified by the forum:

  • Method 1: Type code block manually

    Add three backticks ``` before and after the content/bundle, like this:

    ```
    content goes here
    ```

  • Method 2. Highlight and click the format button in the editor

Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario, especially if there are complex data structures (nested arrays and collections) or if external services are involved.

Sharing these details will make it easier for others to assist you.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

yes sorry, was a wrong screenshot.

output bundle is NULL.

This module and scenario have been working without any issues for months. And after cloning the module, we have no problems. As I mentioned earlier, it’s a general erratic behavior with many of our Airtable modules (I’d say more than 10 issues accross 3 to 5 scenarios ) since Friday. It doesn’t show any error; it simply doesn’t write what it needs to write or doesn’t read what it needs to read. And all this is happening in existing scenarios where we had no errors or problems before.

Ok, the error message doesn’t say which Airtable field is causing the issue.

You could probably get more details about the Airtable request using the MDT.

If you have the Make DevTool Chrome extension installed, you should be able to view the request and response headers and body from each module when you manually run the scenario.

From the Help Center article about the Make DevTool:

Make DevTool allows you to debug your Make scenarios in a completely new way. It adds an extra pane to the Chrome Developer Tools. Using this new debugger pane, you’re able to check all the manual runs of your scenario, review all the performed operations and see the details of every API call performed. It also brings a whole bunch of new opportunities for Apps development. You’re able to check every call that your app has performed. Thanks to this extension, you can easily debug your scenario, see which module, operation, even which single response causes the error, and then get your scenario back on track. Try it out and let your scenarios shine!

For more information on how to install and use this, see https://www.make.com/en/help/scenarios/integromat-devtool

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

yes I have the MDT and nothing on it, the request header or body was completly normal. We just want to write a json output in text format inside an airtable DB (really not rocket science) (and this work since long time …). The only problem was the error message on the output.

I can show another case:
at the end of the scenario we just change the status in the airtable database

and in this case, he show that everything was alright, no errors message he just didn’t change the status in airtable.

as the other exemple, scenario work great since months.
