Step 2: Connect Airtable as the Read Source

1. Select Airtable as the data source: In the "Data" section on the left sidebar, expand the "Read" section, and choose "Airtable" as the read source for your data copying.
2. Add the Airtable module to the canvas: Drag and drop the "Airtable" module onto the canvas. This module will be the starting point to read data from Airtable, automating the data extraction process.
   

Step 3: Configure the Airtable Data Source

1. Authorize CodelessAPI.io with Airtable: Click on the Airtable module on the canvas and select "Configure" from the options. Follow the instructions to authorize CodelessAPI.io and grant secure access to your Airtable data.
2. Select Airtable base and table: Once authorized, choose the specific Airtable base and table from which you want to read data. Further, select the columns you'd like to read from, tailoring the data to suit your needs.
   

Step 4: Connect Google Sheets as the Create Source

1. Select Google Sheets as the data destination: In the "Data" section on the left sidebar, expand the "Create" option, and choose "Google Sheets" as the create source for your data copying.
2. Add the Google Sheets module to the canvas: Drag and drop the "Google Sheets" module onto the canvas. This module will be where the data is copied to, automating data transfer from Airtable to Google Sheets.
   

Step 5: Link the Modules

To automate the data flow from Airtable to Google Sheets, ensure that you link the modules together in the desired sequence. Connect the "Start" module to the "Airtable" module, then the "Airtable" module to the "Google Sheets" module. Finally, link the "Google Sheets" module to the "End" module, establishing a seamless and automated data copy process.

Step 6: Mapping Data in Google Sheets

1. Authorize CodelessAPI.io with Google Sheets: Click on the Google Sheets module on the canvas and select "Configure" from the options. In the configuration panel, click on the "New Google Sheets Account" button. Follow the instructions to authorize CodelessAPI.io and grant access to your Google Sheets securely.
2. Select Google Sheets document and sheet: Once authorized, select the specific Google Sheets document and sheet where you want to add the data read from Airtable.
3. Map the fields in Google Sheets with the data from Airtable: Use the "map" option to dynamically add data by selecting the corresponding fields from the dropdown. This ensures that the data is accurately transferred and copying between Airtable and Google Sheets.
   
4. View the data: If you'd like to view the data after it's been copied, add a "Read" module for Google Sheets after the "Create" module. Configure the module to select from the same sheet you inserted data into and choose the columns you wish to retrieve. You'll then be able to see the new data after copying.
   

Step 7: Testing and Deploying Your API

1. Test your API: Click the "Run" button to trigger the built-in run of the API. This will validate your API endpoint and verify the API response, ensuring that the data copying process works seamlessly.
