Questions
Which column does my note go into?
The primary field: the first column of the table, the one Airtable uses as each record's name. The whole note goes into that one cell. Driftto writes nothing else, so status, dates, tags and linked records stay yours to set in Airtable.
Why is one of my tables missing when I connect?
Driftto only lists tables whose first column can hold text. If a table's primary field is a formula, a number, a date or an autonumber, Airtable would turn every note away, so Driftto leaves that table out instead of letting it fail later. Make the primary field a text field in Airtable, then choose the table again.
How do I connect Airtable?
In Driftto, add a destination and choose Airtable under Sheets and bases. Tap Sign in with Airtable, allow access in the sheet that opens, then pick a base and a table in it. The destination takes the base's name until you rename it. Add a second Airtable destination for another table and choose per note.
Does a photo come along?
No. An Airtable attachment field takes a link to a file that is already online, not a photo straight from your phone, and the route Driftto uses writes field values only. So Airtable gets the text. The capture screen says so before you send, and the same capture can still carry the photo to Notion or Asana.
Do I need the Airtable app on my phone?
No. Driftto sends the record to Airtable itself. It's in the table the next time you open the base, on your phone or your laptop.
What does Driftto cost?
$19.99 a year after a 7-day free trial, $2.99 a month, or $29.99 once. Yours forever, no free tier.
