Here’s what our synced table looks like after exporting from Airtable to Google Sheets: In other words, your rows will become items in sync and your columns are the mappable fields. That’s the power of Unito’s flexible, automated, two-way sync between tables. This guide demonstrates the value of syncing Airtable to Google Sheets, but the exact same steps outlined below can be used to export from Google Sheets to Airtable. Just remember that your header row in Airtable and Google Sheets will become the fields that Unito maps. Since both of these tools use custom fields, you’ll need to label them properly so that you can easily identify them in Unito.

Once you get this flow up and running with Unito, you’ll be able to say goodbye to manual updates and copy-pasting forever. By exporting Airtable records to Google Sheets, you will guarantee that every database you connect will become an always-up-to-date source of truth.

I’d like to set up some Airtable automations to send emails when a comment is added to an issue for example - but as there is no linked record / relation set in Airtable - I just can’t see how to do that.Here we’ll show you how to easily export Airtable to Google Sheets (or vice versa) automatically through Unito’s 2-way no-code integration for spreadsheets.

The only issue I have now, is making a relation somehow in Airtable. The solution for me (and again, I suspect this is written as best practice somewhere!) was to write the status to s simple text field (and have the choice component look up the options from a table in Glide) You can see this quite clearly in the videos on the links below. Doing this meant that there was a lag of a few seconds between updating the Status in the Glide App and it being written to Airtable, then another lag when it was sent back to Glide (I guess?) In Glide, my choice component was set to write to the linked field in Airtable. I’ve put below what the Issue seemed to be - and suspect it was bad practice on my part (but you live and learn),Īdding an entry was actually quick - things showed up in Glide instantly (and then sync’d over to Airtable as explained)īut I was grouping on a “Status” field - which was a Linked record field in Airtable (linking to a separate “Status Table” in Airtable). Thanks again for your help with this Jeff - think I got to the bottom of it! As long as you aren’t expecting something to happen within Airtable when that status is updated, then your app should work normally as it’s updated immediately in the app and synced immediately to the glide servers. It’s only communicating with the glide servers, and it’s the glide servers that communicate with airtable. The app has no idea whether or not Airtable is involved. It really shouldn’t affect app performance. It may take a bit to sync to airtable, but Glide still keeps a copy of the data on their server. I really don’t think it should affect performance in any way. If you create the status column in Airtable, then it will be non user specific in glide. There’s nothing stopping you from creating the column within Airtable though. To work around that limitation, Glide still allows you to create a column within the data editor, but the only option is to be user specific, which isn’t ideal since user specific columns hold unique values for each user. I think it’s an Airtable limitation where you can’t create basic columns in Airtable externally.
