Question

Populate and update Zapier Table using API Feed

I am trying to work out if its possible to keep a Zapier table up to date based on Rest API calls. I’ve got a zap setup that imports the data, filters it and converts the entries into line items using formatter but I can’t for the life of me work out how to get a Zap to populate multiple cells in a Zapier Table. The ideal outcome is every time the zap runs it updates the entire table so when data is deleted upstream it disappears from the table.

Hi @rneville 

Good question.

Look into using the Looping app to help you iterate over the array of items.

Thanks for that. Right now the issue I have is splitting the text as even before looping it its taking all the data and dumping it into one cell.

Ah, yeah I know what you mean.

Another user brought that up previously.

You can share feedback directly with the Zapier Tables team here: https://eap.zapier.app

 

The current workaround would be to use one of the options to prep the data:

  1. Code
  2. ChatGPT - Extract Structured Data
