Why is the Airtable "create_single_record" failing with a 403 error in the same workflow, despite using the same credentials and having required scopes?

Hi! Do you have any idea why in the same workflow, using the same credentials, I manage to do an Airtable “search_records” but the “create_single_record” is failing with 403 error?
NOT_AUTHORIZED - 403 - You are not authorized to perform this operation

I have the required scopes. Using OAuth.
On a different Pipedream account, using the same credentials, it works fine. The only difference is the version of the Airtable “create_single_record” node. It works on 0.0.2 and fails on 0.0.8

Can I try using a different version (force using 0.0.2)?

Hi , thanks for reaching out. I’ll try to reproduce this and get back to you soon

It doesn’t seem to be a Pipedream issue after all
It was because I was trying to create a record using the Email field as value for a relationship, but that failed because of the relationship not being found, and because that field was coming from a Synced table, it would fail creating the record altogether.

The lack of proper error message led me in the wrong direction.

Oh that’s explain a lot.

I think the error message comes from Airtable, which Pipedream just proxied to you through the action error

Yeah

Somehow, I got a different error in 0.0.2 which was clearer and led me back to the root issue

Oh okay. That’s a weird error indeed. I’ll take a look into it to see if we can improve the existing action
