The simplest solution seems to be somehow adding multiple records from separate integrations to a single field, but that doesn’t currently seem like an option either.

As I said, I would rather have Zapier show me in the Action step the complete and full list of. Then Zapier detected the changes in fields and started to show the updated list of fields. That tracks every conversion, but means I have a million columns on my Contact table – and my gallery view (which the recruiters are using) isn’t as clean as I’d like it to be.īecause we deal with thousands of contacts in a year, manually adding each conversion point is not an option. The way I found resolved the issue is to completely delete the test record with the data in the Airtable table and add a completely new record in the table. My current workaround is to have a column for every single type of conversion on my Contacts table – which is either blank, or filled with the conversion value (so, a column called General Web Form that receives the value General Web Form if triggered by the integration. Ideally, those conversions would stack up in the same field (linking to multiple records). Zapier can locate the record, and then updated it – but If I use the same trick, the integration will overwrite the existing data in the linked records field, so I lose the General Web Form conversion. The challenge is at the second point of conversion: let’s say Event Registration.

So if a candidate fills out the General Web Form, I can have a unique Zap with the text ‘General Web Form’ dropping into the linked records -> Interactions field and it works like a charm. I have a Contacts table (with Email as the unique identifier), and an Interactions table (with things like General Web Form, Event Registration, etc.). The primary challenge I’m encountering is in logging interactions.

We’ve used Zapier for ages to create and update records in Google Sheets, and are shifting our process over to Airtable to allow more users access to the data. Each report syncs once an hour if set on Automatic sync, and every 2,000 rows in a report will count as one execution (so a 10,000 row report will count as five executions.) This is a Salesforce-imposed API limitation, but you can work around it by setting some syncs to update manually.Hello! I work in higher ed, and am trying to set up a highly automated CRM base. The main reporting API used is the synchronous API, which is limited to 500 report executions per hour across all products using the API - not just Airtable. To reduce the incidence of this error, you can consider setting more syncs in your organization to update manually instead of automatically.įor context, Airtable uses the Salesforce’s reporting APIs to access data from your Salesforce instance. However, you may continue to encounter this error intermittently if you have many separate synced tables that connect to your Salesforce instance. This table will resume syncing automatically again after a manually triggered sync completes successfully. To get this table syncing again, you can manually trigger a sync using the Sync Now button. This error message can appear if you have too many Salesforce synced tables querying the same Salesforce instance.

If the user who connected a Salesforce sync leaves the company and their Salesforce account gets deactivated, the sync will stop working. Additionally, the user must have both the View and Run Report permissions on any reports that they wish to sync. The OAuth consent screen will look something like this:Īirtable will only have access to the reports that the user who connected the Salesforce sync has access to. Unfortunately, Salesforce does not have very granular OAuth scopes, and API is the minimal scope required to view and run reports. The most important scope listed here is API. If the report has groupings, those groupings will also be automatically added to the main grid view of the synced table. The sync operation will retrieve rows from the selected Salesforce report and generate Airtable records. Once you’ve selected your desired settings, click the Create table button. By default, deleted rows will be removed. Whether or not deleted records (rows from the Salesforce report) should be removed from the Airtable table.

Right now, the options are manual syncing and automatic syncing which happens around every hour for this particular Salesforce sync feature.

Before creating your synced table, there are Settings options that allow you choose how often you want to sync, and how to handle records deleted or hidden in the source (Salesforce).
