Template Sync Table

Making Packs
1

I have a pack which creates a sync table by connecting to an API without authentication.

I now need to create a second sync table which gives the user to connect to the same API with authentication, resulting in a higher data transfer rate.

I know how to copy/paste a table with the “Duplicate data” option to create a new table with the original column design of the first; that will not work here because I cannot use “Paste” here because the second table needs to use the authentication info defined in the pack for the 2nd table.

For similar reasons the usual advice to create a view of the first table will not work.

I think that means I need to manually reproduce the configuration of each column. Is that correct or is there some shortcut I am missing?

Hi @Richard_Kaplan - I think one possible solution would be to specify connectionRequirement: coda.ConnectionRequirement.Optional on your sync table. This tells Coda that users can optionally choose to connect their credentials, letting them use the table with and without an account.

OK I will try that - thanks
