What is the workaround for this. To illustrate I have a social media post scheduler, I want it to post the post, then update an Airtable field as “Posted” but the Airtable Update Record Field within the Module does not allow me to map Base ID or Table ID using data from from previous modules. This seems to render the module fundamentally useless.
The reason I need to set it up this way is because it needs to function as an app so all clients can run through a single series of scenarios need to be able to handle dynamic data.
For this you will need to use the Make an API Call module and call the update record endpoint.
For whatever reason they decided not to allow the ability to Map those two fields, and usually that’s because they involve RPCs which fail then invalid data is input into the fields the RPC depends on.
Maybe you can help, I’ve literally spent like 5 hours tryiing to set up and API call in multiple different ways, right now I am using HTTP “Send a Request” and I can GET data but every time I try and POST or PATCH I have one of several different errors, I have no codeing background, but I’m testing in Postman an I can GET but not PUT or PATCH. I don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to APIs or the sctructure of the API JSON code… Yeah All I’m trying to do is literally change a cell and its taking me like 12 hours, its beyond ridiculous. A bunch of community posts on airtable but nothing is helpful at all.
Yeah I’m 99% sure there was just some type of error happening, then there was an API Outage or something because the API wasnt working at all for a bit and now I have it working, Thank you for your time.
