How can I update the Status field from 'Pending' to 'Paid' in Airtable?

You can update the Status field by using the Airtable node’s update functionality in your workflow. Here are some tips to troubleshoot and implement the update:

• Use the “Update record” operation:
  After you receive the “mark as paid” callback from Telegram, add an Airtable node configured to “Update” a record. Make sure that you supply the correct Record ID (usually retrieved from a previous “List” or “Read” operation) so the node knows which record to update.

• Mapping the Status field:
  In the node’s fields mapping, choose the Status field and set its value to "Paid". This will ensure that the record’s status is updated accordingly.

• Review authentication and credentials setup:
  Make sure your Airtable credentials are set up correctly—whether you’re using a Personal Access Token or OAuth2—as the authentication method can sometimes affect the update operation.

• Reference Documentation:
  For a detailed walkthrough, check out the n8n documentation on the Airtable node update operations and the automation guide for Airtable record updates. This resource explains how to configure the node, map dynamic data using tokens, and troubleshoot common issues with record updates.

By following these steps and reviewing the update record documentation, you should be able to successfully update the Status field from "Pending" to "Paid". If the issue persists, double-check the token mapping and ensure that the record’s ID is correctly passed between nodes.
