Schedule a request
You can schedule requests to run automatically, even when you are not logged into Airtable or do not have the Data Fetcher extension open.
To schedule requests, you'll first need to add your Airtable API key. You will only need to add it once. The key is stored securely and then used by the scheduler to update your output table.
- On the create request screen, under Schedule, click "Add API key".
- Click "Save".
- Make sure you have followed the steps above to add your Airtable API key.
- On the create request screen, under Schedule, click "Schedule this request".
- Select a frequency from the dropdown.
- Select a time window from the dropdown. These times are an approximation. The request will run within 30 seconds of the time window selected.
- If you want to use a different timezone, select one from the dropdown.
- Click "Save". The request will run automatically on the schedule you selected. You can check it is running successfully in the Run History.
