Why Am I Not Seeing Inserted Data in Airtable Despite No Errors?

When inserting data into Airtable using the node, keep in mind that successful insertions often return an empty output, which is normal. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and confirm that your data is inserted correctly:

1. Check Your Airtable Configuration

   • Verify that your Airtable base, table name, and field names match exactly between Airtable and your node configuration.
   • Ensure that you’re using the correct field types (e.g., Number for IDs and Single line text for names).

2. Review Your Credential Settings

   • Double-check that your Airtable credentials (access token) are correct and that you have access to the base you’re working with.

3. Understand the API Response

   • The Airtable node’s API endpoint often returns an empty response on success. This means that even though the node doesn’t show data, the record may have been inserted.
   • Open your Airtable base and verify that the records have been added.

4. Test Step Results

   • When you use the Test step in the node, if there is no error, the insertion has likely worked as expected. It’s a good idea to check your Airtable table directly to see the inserted records.

By following these points, you can confirm that your workflow is working correctly even if the output panel doesn’t display the inserted data.
