- In this video, I will teach you all about syncing Airtable and Google Sheets. By the end of this video, you will be able to automate new rows in Google Sheets to new records in Airtable, new records in Airtable to new rows in Google Sheets, and perform both of those automations while avoiding an infinite loop between Google Sheets and Airtable. At the end of this video, you will get a chance to learn how to properly build a database in Airtable. I hope you enjoyed watching this video and you gain value from it!

Hi Ben - thanks for the video and answering all these advanced questions! Since AirTable doesn't have a way to bring in stock data without an extension, I was hoping to use Google Sheets to perform the lookup, then get updates into Airtable. I will give it a try, but not sure if dynamic lookup data (e.g. stock price) would be handled.
Any recommendations on how best to maintain an exact 1 to 1 relationship between a Google Sheets table and an AirTable table. I like to work within Google Sheets for a variety of reasons for my workflow, but I've been asked to detail my status within AirTable. I can do a lot with what you've shown above, but updating records and changing their status is still a problem.
Great video!
I do not know of a great solution for it to be perfect or exact. I would commit to using one tool or the other for this.
Had problem with this before. What I did in this case is I added a Last Time Modified column. In sheets, I created another sheet to filter results based on latest modified time and date. Downside of this is that it consumes bandwidth in sheets.
Thanks
!
No problem!
Great tutorial!, Ben. Is there any way to sync even the delete function? For instance, If I delete a record from Airtable that was synced in Google Sheets, it would also be deleted in Google Sheet.
Hi Dhaval, you can do this via a workaround by marking for deletion rather than actual deletion. Then you would allow the automation to delete both the gsheet record and your airtable record.
How it auto syns multi record from google sheets? I trying many time but its work for test automation specific row i chose.
You have to make the automation triggers & actions dynamic with the record ID (Airtable) and row id (Gsheet). If you need more help, feel free to book a call with my team www.optimizeis.com/schedule-page
How do you export attachment photo from airtable to google doc using zapier?
Previously, you could use the Airtable attachment URL, but those now expire. You would want to store the link somewhere else. Ex: upload the attachment in google drive and then use that link
the "send to GSheets" not functions, help me :(
I am going to need more detail than this. Feel free to comment here, join the Airtable community facebook group, or email me ben@optimizeis.com
