I’m looking for a solution to import multiple records from Airtable into Google Sheets via Zapier, specifically filtering rows where a designated field equals ‘Y’. Any method that avoids heavy custom coding would be ideal.
I managed a similar integration by setting up a multi-step Zap in which each new Airtable record triggered the workflow. I added a filter step that only allowed records with the designated field equal to ‘Y’ to proceed. The filter ensured that only the appropriate records reached the Google Sheets action. Although I briefly considered adding a Code step for extra validation, the built-in filtering was sufficient. This approach kept the process streamlined and avoided any heavy custom coding.
In my experience managing similar workflows, I approached the problem by using Zapier’s scheduling trigger to poll for new records periodically rather than relying solely on a record trigger. I set up a search step to retrieve records from Airtable and then applied a condition filter to ensure that only rows with the designated field equal to ‘Y’ were processed further. This method allowed me to avoid heavy coding while also batching multiple records within one run. I found that this method was quite reliable and allowed for greater control over the integration process.
hey, i used zapier’s search and loop funcitons to fetch airtable rows filtered by ‘y’ then looped trough them into google sheets. it worked fine and saved me from heavy custom code. hope this helps!
I developed a solution by taking advantage of Zapier’s ability to work with batches of records. Instead of triggering one Zap per record, I set up a Zap to retrieve a list of Airtable records using a search function. I then used a Formatter step to reformat the list into a structure that the Google Sheets action could process in one go. This method filtered out records without heavy custom coding. The approach is efficient, and distributing the workload this way reduced the number of individual tasks processed by Zapier.
I solved a similar problem by first creating a Zap that searched for new records in Airtable and then used a filter step to include only those with the designated field set to ‘Y’. Instead of processing each record individually, I applied a delay step which allowed records to gather. Once collected, a loop mechanism iterated over the list and sent each valid record to Google Sheets. This method effectively batched the processing and helped me avoid heavy custom coding, while ensuring consistency even when multiple records were added simultaneously.
