Whenever I try to get data, or set cells in airtable through thunkable, it just doesn’t work.  
The API and Base IDS are correct, and I am able to view the table by clicking the airtable invisible component.

- Make sure you’re not using personal account tokens instead of API keys.
- Set Label3’s text to “error|value”. This makes sure you’re not returning the error instead of the value, as I’m not sure if “error” returns true/false. I think it’s if(error == null) {}?
- As a control setup, copy your airtable base URL while selecting a record. Your URL should end with “recAJLK7IF1L6iA1t/fldCp7ef3NnBlaCta?copyLinkToCellOrRecordOrigin=gridView” (As an example.) recAJLK7IF1L6iA1t/fldCp7ef3NnBlaCta is the record URL. Use this as a row ID, then fetch and then return it when Button1 is clicked. If it returns nothing, it’s an authentication issue.

Please, check the store if there is any Thunkable Live app update. You need to update to get everything works.
