This guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of using CodelessAPI.io to establish a dynamic data copying from Airtable to Notion, streamlining your data management tasks.

Data copying Made Simple

Follow these simple steps to set up data copying from Airtable to Notion using CodelessAPI.io:

Step 1: Sign Up and Create a New API

1. Create a CodelessAPI.io account: If you don't have an account, start by signing up for a free CodelessAPI.io account. You can create an account by visiting the sign-up page.
2. Generate a new API: After logging in, access your dashboard and navigate to the "Workflows" page. Click the "Create new Workflow" button. Provide a descriptive name and relevant description for your API. Once created, you'll be directed to the API builder interface.
   

Step 2: Connect Airtable as the Source

1. Select Airtable as the data source: In the "Data" section of the left sidebar, expand the "Read" options, and choose "Airtable" as the 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 your starting point for reading data from Airtable.
   

Step 3: Configure the Airtable Data Source

1. Authorize CodelessAPI.io with Airtable: Click on the Airtable module within the canvas and select "Configure". Follow the prompts to authorize CodelessAPI.io and grant access to your Airtable workspace.
2. Select the table and columns: After authorization, choose the specific table from your Airtable base that you want to copy data from. Select the columns you wish to include in the data copying process.
   

Step 4: Connect Notion as the Destination

1. Choose Notion as the destination: Navigate to the "Data" section, expand the "Create" options, and select "Notion" as the destination for your data copying.
2. Add the Notion module to the canvas: Drag and drop the "Notion" module onto the canvas. This module will be where the copied data will be inserted into your Notion database.
   

Step 5: Link the Modules

Establish a data flow from Airtable to Notion by linking the modules in the desired sequence. Connect the "Start" module to the "Airtable" module, and then link the "Airtable" module to the "Notion" module. Finally, connect the "Notion" module to the "End" module. To link modules, click on each module, then click "Link", and choose the module you want to link to.

Step 6: Map Data in Notion

1. Authorize CodelessAPI.io with Notion: Click on the Notion module within the canvas and select "Add Notion Account". This will take you to a new window where you can select which notion databases you want to allow CodelessAPI to connect to. Follow the prompts to authorize the relevant databases.
2. Select the Notion page: After authorization, you will be redirected back to the builder page. Click on your Notion module and click on "Configure" and choose the specific Notion account and database where you want to insert the data.
3. Map fields in Notion: Use the "map" option to link the corresponding fields from the Airtable data to the appropriate blocks in your Notion page. This ensures accurate and organized data insertion.
   
4. View the data: If you want to verify the data after copying, add a "Read" module for Notion after the "Create" module. Configure the module to select from the same Notion page you inserted data into and choose the blocks you wish to retrieve. This allows you to see the newly copied data.
   

Step 7: Test and Deploy Your API

1. Test your API: Initiate a test run of the API using the "Run" button. This helps identify potential issues and validates the API endpoint's functionality.
2. Deploy and use your API: After setting up the API, access the generated API endpoint to start the copying process between Airtable and Notion. To use the API, click on the "Start" module and select "Configuration" to obtain the API link.
