I’m working on setting up an automated workflow in my Airtable base and I need to fetch some external data through an API call. My automation needs to grab the current exchange rate for USD to calculate some financial totals automatically. I’m not sure how to make REST API requests from within the automation script. Can someone guide me on how to implement HTTP requests in Airtable automations? I’ve looked through the documentation but I’m still confused about the proper syntax and setup. Any code examples or step-by-step instructions would be really helpful for getting this working.
hey jess, i had some trouble at first too! you just need to make sure to use the right API endpoint and double-check the permissions in your automation settings. good luck with the coding!
