No output mode prevents Data Fetcher from creating or updating records in your base when a request runs. This is useful when you’re working with API endpoints that don’t return data or when you want to ignore API responses entirely.

​
When to use no output mode:

  • API endpoints that do not return anything in their response.
  • POST or PATCH requests where you’re sending data from Airtable rather than importing data with GET requests.
When no output mode is enabled, the output table / view selection, response field mapping, and data transformation options are hidden since they are not needed.

​
How to enable no output mode

  1. Navigate to the request screen in Data Fetcher.
  2. Scroll down to the bottom and click to open the Advanced settings.
  3. Under No Output Mode, enable Do not handle the response or update the base.
  4. You will see a warning modal, since this option is rarely used. Click Turn on “No Output Mode”.
  5. Click Save to save the request.
Next time you run the request, the API request will be made, but no data will be written to Airtable.
