Airtable Batch Update / Insert rows (send faster + save API call requests)
This workflow allows you to batch update/insert Airtable rows in groups of 10, significantly reducing the number of API calls and increasing performance.
🚀 How It Works
Copy the 3 Nodes
Copy the three nodes inside the red note box into your workflow.
Set Your Fields
In the Set Fields node, define the fields you want to update.
➤ Only include fields that match column names in your Airtable table.
➤ Make sure the field names are spelled exactly as they appear in Airtable.
➤ Make sure the field type are correctly set. So numbers columns in Airtable need numbers type set as the field.

{{["firstname", "lastname"]}}
