Last updated 1 year ago

The Public Sync URL allows you and your team to perform data syncs without the need to log into the PowerImporter website. A simple click on a URL initiates the sync process instantly.

The 3 ways you can use the Public Sync URL feature

1. Direct Sharing: Share the URL directly with your team. This is ideal for teams who need quick, easy access to initiate a sync without navigating through additional interfaces. 2. Embedding in Tools: Embed the URL in Airtable or within an <iframe>. This works best in scenarios where you want to integrate syncing capabilities seamlessly within your existing digital workspace. 3. As a Webhook: Use the URL as a Webhook with a POST method for automated syncing. This is particularly effective for automated workflows where data needs to be synced in real-time or on a scheduled basis. ā€ Benefits of the Public Sync URL feature This feature offers swift and straightforward syncing operations. It also eliminates the need to share PowerImporter account details with your team members, enhancing security.

Important Consideration:

This tool should be used with care. Once a sync is initiated via the Public Sync URL, there is no "undo" option, and no additional checks are performed. It's ideal for routine syncs with well-verified data but requires cautious use to avoid unintended syncs.

Here's a step-by-step walkthrough:

1. Direct Sharing: - Navigate to your Airtable to Webflow Sync, Step 5, Click on Edit > Embed - Click on "Create" to generate the URL, then click on "Copy" in the Shareable section, to copy it. - Share this URL directly with your team members via email, messaging apps, or your preferred communication tool. - Team members simply click the URL to initiate an immediate sync. ā€ 2. Embedding in Airtable or an <iframe>: - Navigate to your Airtable to Webflow Sync, Step 5, Click on Edit > Embed - Click on "Create" to generate the URL, then click on "Copy" in the iframe section, to copy it. - Embed it into an Airtable base or within an <iframe> on your internal site or dashboard. - This can be done by inserting the URL in the embed code section of Airtable or the source attribute of the <iframe> tag. - Users can then sync data directly from within these platforms, integrating seamlessly into your existing digital environment. ā€ 3. Using as a Webhook with a POST Method: - Navigate to your Airtable to Webflow Sync, Step 5, Click on Edit > Embed - Click on "Create" to generate the URL, then click on "Copy" in the Webhook section, to copy it. - Set up the Public Sync URL as a Webhook endpoint in your system or the third-party service that supports Webhook functionality. - Configure it to use a POST method, ensuring that it triggers a sync upon receiving a specific data payload or at predetermined events. - This setup is ideal for automated, real-time syncing or for executing syncs at scheduled intervals, minimizing manual intervention.
