AirBasix synchronizes airtable bases to wix collections, typically with the help of wix cron jobs. Once you add AirBasix to the package imports in Wix you need to implement a backend script that creates an Airbasix object passing in the required parameters. If you want to perform the updates automatically you also need to create a wix cron job that repeats as often as you want.
- Airtable API
- Wix-data API
- Airtable API Key
- Airtable Base ID
- Airtable JS
Airtable suggests using a separate account for implementing API access, and granting that account the minimum required access. For safety purposes I suggest you create an account dedicated to this synchronization and only grant it read-only access to any data you want to sync.
Implementing functionality for the node module is relatively simple. Just create an instance of airbasix with the keys and table data you want, call manualUpdate() and wait for it to complete. That's it!
const AirBasix = require('airbasix');
let basix = new AirBasix('airtableKey','airtableBaseId','wixCollectionName','airtableTableOrViewName');
await basix.manualUpdate();First, you need to update the following keys based on your accounts and API data from airtable.
const airtableApiKey = 'keySomeKey'; // the key from your read-only airtable account
const airtableBaseId = 'baseSomeBase'; // The Base ID found in your api docs
const wixAirtableStore = 'AWixCollection'; // The collection to hold the data
const airtableRootDb = 'AnAirtableViewName'; // The view/table in airtableAfter that just run the following command or schedule a wix cronjob to do it for you.
ManualUpdate();
