Tl dr: Apparently zapier cannot zap data into linked fields WHEN those fields/columns originate, at root, from other Airtable bases than the one being zapped into. For question 2: This would be the same as the multi select. Another way would be to use Zapier (specifically Looping by Zapier) to achieve that. It’s unfortunate that I will have to enter the contact and location manually (by picking them from my linked list from another Base), but overall it’s not that big of a deal. Hi JordanM, For question 1: The short answer is yes, but you need to create a script for that. Once removing those two fields from my output (a Contact field and a Location field), the Zap worked correctly. (For example, I was outputting a ‘First Name, Last Name’ into an Airtable field that was synced in internally from another of my Airtable bases, titled “People”.) ![]() Now, you can use Zapier to automatically look up existing Airtable records and update them with the most current information. Zapier does manual, repetitive tasks so that you don’t have to. When data changes, make sure your spreadsheet tool is up-to-date, too. However, I realized that there’s another way to interpret “external sync”: as fields within my output Zap that are linked fields dependent on external Airtable bases. Airtable Update: Find Existing Records and Update Them. So I tried creating a new Airtable connection and rebuilding the Zap from scratch-and that did not work. For example, if I want to email all my contacts, I can’t do that via Mail-Chimp etc, because the triggers only fire on creation of a record not on update/change/manual selection. Thanks so much for the quick reply, it took me a bit to get back to this problem. Additionally, I can’t move my system across to Airtable without the above feature or the option to run a Zapier zap on all database entires in a view/base. ![]()
