airtable

Updates an existing record in an Airtable base using PUT method. Use when you want to replace all field values, clearing any unspecified fields. For partial updates that preserve unspecified fields, use the PATCH-based update action instead.

baseIdrequired

STRING

The unique identifier of the Airtable base containing the record to be updated.

fieldsrequired

OBJECT

Specifies fields to update. Keys are field names or IDs; values are new content. PUT method clears all unspecified cell values (destructive update). Empty strings are automatically converted to null to clear field values. For Date fields: use 'YYYY-MM-DD' format for date-only fields, or ISO 8601 format (e.g., '2026-01-02T10:30:00.000Z') for date-time fields. Set typecast=true to enable automatic format conversion.

recordIdrequired

STRING

The unique identifier (ID) of the record to be updated within the specified table.

typecast

BOOLEAN

When set to true, enables automatic data conversion from strings to appropriate field types. For example, converts string '123' to number 123. Default is false.

Default: false

tableIdOrNamerequired

STRING

The unique identifier (ID) or the name of the table within the base that contains the record to be updated.

returnFieldsByFieldId

BOOLEAN

If `True`, API response keys record fields by field ID instead of name. Using field IDs is recommended for integrations resilient to field name changes.

Default: false
