What's new in Airtable to Sheets.

Clearer answers when something needs you

Improvements

  • Deleting a sync now confirms right in the sidebar, so a delete can no longer time out while a dialog waits for you.
  • When a base already has the most live connections Airtable allows, the add-on now says so and explains how to free one, instead of asking you to reconnect Airtable.

Fixes

  • Scheduled syncs set up in an early version no longer fail silently every night; they now run on the current engine.
  • Buttons on a card left open from an older version now return you to the homepage instead of showing an error.

Columns keep up with your base

Improvements

  • A field you add in Airtable now shows up in your sheet without disturbing the formatting you put on your own columns.
  • Renaming a field, or recoloring a select option, updates the sheet in place instead of rebuilding it.
  • The sync card names the columns the last sync added or removed, so a column leaving your sheet is never a surprise.

Fixes

  • Checkbox columns show a tickbox again, rather than the word true.

Sturdier syncs, clearer status

Features

  • Change which fields a sync writes at any time, without rebuilding the sync. Sync
  • Every row carries its own two-way status in the sheet, so you can see what is waiting to reach Airtable and what already arrived. Two-way
  • The sync card lists the sheet edits queued to push, and pushes them on demand. Two-way
  • A live sync that stops working now says why, and offers a one-press repair when one exists. Live

Improvements

  • Sheet edits on a live two-way sync reach Airtable in seconds instead of waiting for the next run.
  • Each page of a sync writes only the rows it added, and the sheet is formatted in fewer passes, so a large table lands faster.
  • When your Airtable plan's monthly API allowance runs out, syncs pause and tell you, instead of retrying against a limit that will not move until the 1st.
  • Reconnecting to a different Airtable account, or approving fewer bases than before, now names the syncs that lost access and asks what to do with them.
  • The two-way status column stays at the head of the sheet when you switch a sync that already has columns to two-way.

Fixes

  • One failed Airtable request no longer disconnects your account. It takes two in a row, and any successful request resets the count.
  • An Airtable edit to a different field of a row you had just changed in the sheet is no longer dropped.
  • A sheet edit that cannot be delivered right away is retried on the next run instead of being lost.
  • The Airtable plan note on the connect screen recommends a plan rather than blocking the connection.
  • Seats are billed per seat, and your access is read before a trial starts.

Live sync and two-way fixes

Fixes

  • Two-way sync now tracks edits on every synced sheet. With more than one sync in a spreadsheet, changes made on the other sheets were not being pushed back to Airtable.
  • Live updates now land on the matching row instead of adding a second copy of the record.
  • Attachments arriving through a live update are clickable links, matching what a full sync writes.
  • Clearing a checkbox in Airtable now clears it in the sheet.
  • Single-select cells keep their Airtable color when a live update changes them.
  • Formula and rollup fields with an error no longer show raw technical text in the cell.
  • A busy Airtable base no longer stops live sync. It waits and picks up where it left off instead of needing to be switched back on by hand.

Faster syncs, calmer setup

Features

  • Syncs now run in the background, so the sidebar stays usable while your records load. Sync
  • Every sync ends on a confirmation screen that tells you what happens next and when to expect your data. Sync

Improvements

  • Sync setup remembers the base, table, and view you picked, so closing the panel no longer loses your place.
  • Picking a base or table now updates the same screen instead of opening a new one, so there is nothing to go back from.
  • Cleaner synced sheets: a single header row, hidden helper columns, and the first column frozen as you scroll.
  • Deleting a sync or disconnecting Airtable now asks for confirmation first.

Fixes

  • Error messages are shorter and plainer, with no technical details leaking into the panel.
  • Single-select cells keep the colors you chose in Airtable.

Initial release

Features

  • Sync records from any Airtable base, table, or view into Google Sheets with one click. Sync
  • All Airtable field types supported: text, numbers, dates, checkboxes, single and multi-select, linked records, attachments, collaborators, formulas, rollups, and lookups. Field Types
