Using Zapier to send form dates into Airtable sometimes produces empty date fields despite formatting adjustments, and the error mysteriously resolved itself. Has anyone encountered this?
hey, i’ve seen that sometimes. it’s likely a timing glitch or timezone mismatch between zap trigger and airtable. give a double-check to your settings and maybe a quick reset might help.
I have experienced similar issues when trying to transfer dates from Zapier to Airtable. After encountering an empty field, I made sure to directly convert my date format within the Zap trigger rather than relying on Airtable’s automatic handling. Tweaking the formatting using ISO dates helped stabilize the entries. I also discovered that sporadic internet connectivity or minor delays in Zapier’s processing could be the culprit. It might be useful to monitor your Zap history closely to see if timing really is the issue, and possibly add a slight delay to ensure reliability.
Based on my observations, synchronization issues are not uncommon when transferring dates through Zapier to Airtable. I experienced a similar issue where inconsistent time zone settings and a lack of explicit formatting in the Zap triggered intermittent empty fields. Implementing a custom formatter to convert dates to a uniform ISO format across all systems helped resolve my issues. I also found that intermittent connectivity could be a factor, so I incorporated error handling and logging within the Zap configuration to catch any communication lapses. These adjustments enhanced data consistency in my workflow.
