Airtable View Sync

You can sync data that is specific to an Airtable view, which is used to filter and organize your data. When you configure an Airtable data sync, Byteline requires a view to be specified. By selecting a specific view, only the relevant data contained within it will be synced. This applies to both historical syncing, for existing data, and ongoing synchronization.

You can configure a view during the sync creation as shown in the below screenshot.

Airtable Permissions

You need to have Airtable Creator access to create a Byteline data sync.
