I’m trying to create rows in Airtable. The data source exists, and changes I make directly in Airtable (to the columns and data) reflect in Thunkable when I do ‘Sync with Source.’ My code looks like this, and it’s totally unable to create rows (web preview & live test).

I’m having the same problem! No matter what I do, the new row is not made!

Post a screenshot of your blocks. The most common reason for a create row block not to work is that it’s in a loop that is repeating too quickly. You can also have a bad cell value causing the problem.

There is a screenshot of my blocks in the first post in the thread. Is that not showing up for you? In the mean time, I’ve made a little progress. I’m able to create rows in Airtable if the only fields I have in the table are text fields, and the only thing I try to store in them is from a Thunkabl…

Sorry, @charles.crawfordcu5 , my comment was directed at @flaming_mmakers .

Ok. Do you have any advice for me, given that I posted a screenshot and am the originator of the thread? Should I be able to save values of any type other than text into airtable?

I don’t use Airtable much but I just did a test. I was able to get a cell so I know the data source is connected properly. I then tried a create row block with a numeric value. This did not work. So I replaced the numeric value with a text string and it worked, creating a new row. The “create row” …

Currently, the Thunkable connection with Airtable will not allow anything other than text. The create row will fail even if your column in Airtable is email type. This issue is only in Thunkable and not in Airtable.

The issue could be related to airtable wanting to accept string only values? Think about saving to airtable before these values. You used object blocks that turned everything into a string. A Json string. Then it was sent to airtable. Same idea here maybe?
