  2. Read the page details

    Get Page Metadatanode reference

    Get Page Metadata returns the page's title, url, description and other details, with no settings to fill in.

  • “Unknown field name”. A key in the record’s fields doesn’t match a column in your table. Column names are case-sensitive.
  • The run fails on Airtable with an authorization error. The connection’s token can’t reach this base. Give it access to the base in Airtable, then check the connection in AWFlow.
  • The menu entry is missing. Activate the workflow, then right-click and choose Get / Refresh Workflows.
