Hello . The zap I built does the following: every time a new record appears in airtable and it exports it to a google sheet.
Trigger is 1. New Record in View in Airtable
Action2. Create Spreadsheet Row in Google Sheets
Action3. Update Record in Airtable
The airtable view I am using has some filters, for inctance if a specific word is part of a slack incident channel name, year is 2021, 2020 and 2019
I would like to be able to export data from previous dates, also from last year.

Hi
In my opinion, a one time export of historical data would be the best solution since it would save on task consumption (https://support.airtable.com/hc/en-us/articles/202624339-Exporting-records-in-a-view-to-CSV)
but you could also modify the view filters allowing older records to trigger the zap.
Hello GetUWired and thank you for your reply. I highly appreciate it.
I am searching how can I do a synchronization, in case a recently new record or an old one in airtable gets modified and to have the change apply in the google sheet.

In that case, I would recommend changing your trigger to New or Updated Record in Airtable.
then have a search action that searches Google Sheets for the record.
Finally, an action to update the found record.
Thank you. I highly appreciated it.
if you allow me, i would like to ask something which bothers me. Even though I have all the correct fields connected in the Action step, in google sheets for one of the columns I get this type of string → recruC5aWZFldftg3, instead of the cell’s value from airtable which is a text.
What am I doing wrong or am I missing something?
Kind regards
