FAQ

Some fields contain random characters, why?

These are linked fields showing record IDs. To solve this, add a lookup field and use it instead. We recommend using formulas not just for linked records, even for currency, date formats, and many other field types that are not fully supported in Airtable API.

Will exported files include attachments?

Attachment fields will only contain direct links to the files. This is not a limitation of our product. That’s just the nature of the CSV file format. It’s designed to store text data in a spreadsheet. It’s not possible to store image files in them.

Some fields are displayed in the wrong format, why?

By default, Airtable API doesn’t show fields in the same way they look on Airtable. For example, linked record names will be shown as IDs instead. To fix that you would need to add a lookup field that shows the linked record’s name. We recommend using formulas for many field types like currency, date, and any other field that needs to be formatted.

I want to create a new post on WordPress when a field updates. For example, when I’m done creating an outline for a writer, and the client approves that outline, I want to be able to set a start date and have WordPress automatically create a post based on the data that’s available from the outline: title, category, tags, slug, meta description/excerpt, and featured image.

Although, we don’t have an integration with WordPress directly, but you can use our CSV exporter extension to achieve that. You can use the generated CSV URL to create new posts using some WordPress plugins.
