Question

Getting every record in one record in AirTable from CSV + manage almost empty column

Hi,

I am trying to automate a CSV file into AirTable after it was dropped into a Google Drive folder.

The first and last part are OK (It finds the file in the folder, and updates the AirTable table) but I am getting every observation on the same record for each field.

Everything looks ok in Zapier, it’s when it exports to AirTable:

 

Also, I have a field that is empty on the first 50 records (which is, from what I understood, what Zapier tests the action on). I have tried to replace the default value when empty, split the text with a comma, run a Python code with a try/except… I feel like i’ve tried everything :’)

 

Thanks!

Hi @Pierre 

FYI: Airtable has an CSV Import app: https://support.airtable.com/hc/en-us/articles/115013249187-CSV-import-app

 

Please post screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured for us to have context, thanks.

Make sure you are using these steps in your Zaps.
