Hi all - I’m getting the following error when trying to autobind:
My data is stored in Airtable, so I’m wondering if that’s the issue. I know at launch Bubble blocked AirTable autobinding, but I was wondering if anyone had more up to date information on whether they have added it yet? Because if so, I might have some other issue. Thank you!
Hi. Only question I have is why you want to store your data in AirTable.
Eventually we will move to postgres, but at our current scale AirTable has actually been a fantastic and extensible solution for our needs in our backend database for the past year. Either way, I don’t foresee us moving to Bubble tables, so the issue still stands, unless they allow autobinding with postgres?
bubble tables are much better than airtable, no?
We experimented with bubble tables, but they lacked a great deal of the functionality that have made AirTable effective for us in accelerating our development. Our platform currently has to coordinate between Qualtrics, Make, Klaviyo, and Bubble. We experimented with Bubble tables, AirTable, postgres, and a few other solutions. Ultimately what we found was:
We’re a startup with only a few folks, so AT has helped a lot with building out this far, over the past 18 months or so. Once we have more capital and can afford a full time person devoted solely to database management, we will move to postgres.
Hey - did you manage to find a solution for auto-binding to airtable?
Hi there,
I can say there’s not going to be a way to actually autobind to Airtable, not in the way autobinding refers to or how Bubble is setup. You can emulate this though by creating a workflow tied to An Input has Changed, and then setup your Airtable update workflow step based on that trigger. Now when a user changes the text or number in that input field, the change alone will trigger the push to your external database.
