Zapier not syncing Airtable fields

  • I’m facing an issue where Zapier does not reflect new Airtable fields and new records, even though they are correctly visible in Airtable

  • I added a new column (Language) in Airtable, coming from a synced table / lookup, and I can see it correctly populated in Airtable

  • After adding the column, I refreshed the synced table, re-synced it, and confirmed the field is visible and filled in Airtable

  • However, in Zapier, this new column does not appear in the trigger output, and any Path conditions based on this field do not work

  • I also notice that when testing the Airtable trigger from step 1, Zapier only returns old records (stopping around 20 November) and does not include more recent records that exist in the table

  • I already tried refreshing fields in Zapier, re-testing the trigger, removing and re-adding the Airtable table and view, and rebuilding the Path filters, but the issue persists

  • As a result, Zapier shows “missing field mapping” for the Language field in the Path conditions, even though the field clearly exists and is populated in Airtable

  • I’m trying to understand why Zapier seems stuck on an old schema / old dataset, and how to force it to fully refresh both the table structure and the latest records from Airtable

Hello ​@OPSLIZY 

This is usually due to Airtable triggers caching both fields and records.

A few quick things to check:

Make sure the trigger uses a specific Airtable view that includes the new Language field and recent records, and refresh that view in Airtable.

If Language is a synced or lookup field, convert it to a formula field. Zapier reads formula fields more reliably.

Turn the Zap off and back on. If it’s still stuck on old records, duplicate the Zap so the trigger starts fresh.

If Paths still show missing fields, add a Formatter or Utilities step right after the trigger and reference Language there first.
