Configuration Notes
Access Token
For initial setup, please follow the support article from Airtable to create the Access token here.
When configuring an access token in Airtable, make sure that the token can access the data in the selected base and product table.
Scope
When creating a personal access token in Airtable for connection with Creative Force, you must set the scope to have the following permissions enabled:
Read data records
Read schema bases
Manage webhook
Base/Product Table Note
If you have more than one Base and Product table, you will need to set up a separate Data source for each of those.
Changing the Base and Product table for an existing Data Source setup will sync the new file/product table. As such, changes made on the previously selected Product Table are no longer relevant and will not reflect in Creative Force.

Creative Force does not currently support the following field types in Airtable, and values of these types will not be ingested:
Multiple Collaborator
Multiple Selects
