Published on August 14, 2023

Introduction

Data copying and data transferring between various tools and platforms is crucial for maintaining data consistency and accessibility. CodelessAPI provides an effortless solution for copying Notion data to Airtable, without the need for complex coding. This guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of using CodelessAPI to establish dynamic data copying from Notion to Airtable, streamlining your data management workflow.

Data copying Made Simple

Follow these easy steps to set up data copying from Notion to Airtable using CodelessAPI:

Step 1: Sign Up and Create a New API

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

Step 2: Connect Notion as the Source

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

Step 3: Configure the Notion Data Source

1. Authorize CodelessAPI with Notion: Click on the Notion module within the canvas and select "Configure". This will open up a configuraiton panel on the right. Select the "Add Notion Account" button. This will open a new window where you can choose which Notion databases you want CodelessAPI to access. Follow the prompts to authorize the relevant databases.
2. Select the database and properties: After authorization, return to the builder page. Click on the Notion module and choose "Configure". Select the specific Notion account and database you want to copy data from. Choose the properties you wish to include in the data copying process.
   

Step 4: Connect Airtable as the Destination

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

Step 5: Link the Modules

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

Step 6: Map Data in Airtable

1. Authorize CodelessAPI with Airtable: Click on the Airtable module within the canvas and select "Configure". Follow the prompts to authorize CodelessAPI and grant access to your Airtable workspace.
2. Select the Airtable table: After authorization, choose the specific table in your Airtable base where you want to insert the copied data.
3. Map fields in Airtable: Use the "map" option to link the corresponding fields from the Notion data to the relevant columns in your Airtable table. This ensures accurate and organized data insertion.
   
4. Verify copied data in Airtable: To confirm that the data from Notion has been successfully copied to Airtable, you can use the "Read" module for Airtable. Set up the module to read from the same table and columns you selected earlier for data copying. This allows you to view the newly copied data in your Airtable workspace.
   

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 configuring the API, access the generated API endpoint to start the data copying process between Notion and Airtable. To use the API, click on the "Start" module and select "Configuration" to obtain the API link.
