Hi Thunkable,  
I need help wrt Airtable and how to use the tokens instead of API as I am not getting the option of API but it shows Tokens. Do I need to use DnD ? Can I use Tokens in traditional Thunkable in any manner ? Please help. Please share if there is a tutorial on how to use Tokens in airtable in traditional GUI of Thunkable?

What are you trying to do with Airtable? Why would you need tokens rather than just using the built-in data source blocks or API blocks?

I think @cseducator_mindchamp is trying to tell about the Airtable API keys being deprecated after Jan 2024

Thanks everyone. There was a mismatch of snap and place vs DND for new users of Airtable, have shifted the app to DND so it works now Thanks
