    When updating records in Airtable from Clay, you have two options:1. Use the Update Record action if you have the specific Record ID: • Make sure you provide the correct Base ID • Include the exact Record ID of the record you want to update • Specify the fields you want to modify 2. Alternatively, use the Upsert Record action if you're matching based on specific field values: • Provide the Base ID • Set up match criteria using specific fields to identify the record • Include the fields and values you want to updateThe error you're seeing suggests there might be an issue with how the Record ID is being formatted. Make sure the Airtable ID you're using is properly formatted as a single string value, not an array.

    Is there a way to share it so it’s not public?

    Hey there! Let me help fix that Airtable error you're running into Looks like those records aren't working because of the Organization field format. Here's what worked for me: 1. Remove the Organization field from your table for now 2. Try the sync again - it should work smoothly Quick tip for troubleshooting: When you hit these kinds of errors, try removing fields one at a time to pinpoint what's causing the issue. It helps narrow things down fast! And no worries about privacy - anything table you share with us stays totally secure between us. Need me to walk you through anything else? Happy to help! 😊
