List Action (Call API) – entering Dict in Value

Ask the community
1

Hi community, I want to send a POST request using the Call API function. However, I am only allowed to add the “key-value” pairs one by one. In order to perform my function, the “value” is a Dict by itself containing key-value pairs.

The background to this is that I am trying to add a record to a different database in Airtable. Currently, it seems that Softr does not allow the “action” to connect to a different Airtable database.

I would like to ask if anyone has faced this problem before, and if anyone managed to find solutions for either:

  • Adding a Dict itself within the “value”
  • Connecting to a different Airtable database

Thank you!

YES the softr api call action is designed in a way that it does not allow to make post request to airtable. Not sure why but there must be an important reason.

Workaround… havent found one yet. :frowning:

Hey thank you so much! I really appreciate your help!

Do you think will me building a custom API (e.g. using Zapier or something else) in-between these two apps help me solve this?

Oh yeah you can use make/zapier to publish data to your desired airtable database.

Make a post request to make, and then do whatever you need to do with the data coming from softr.
