Airtable Sendcloud

Keep Airtable and Sendcloud updated automatically.

Today it sits in a list or a spreadsheet, and afterwards someone retypes it into the system that actually has to act on it. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Airtable lands in Sendcloud by itself, in the shape Sendcloud expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

The problem

What this connector takes off your hands

  • Today it sits in a list or a spreadsheet, and afterwards someone retypes it into the system that actually has to act on it.

  • Today you retype addresses into Sendcloud, pick the carrier per parcel, and afterwards paste the tracking number back into the system the order came from. When it gets busy that is the first thing to slip.

What you get out of it

What Airtable to Sendcloud saves you

  • Queue every task you finish in Airtable up in Sendcloud for shipping.
  • Queue every new row in Airtable up in Sendcloud for shipping.
The link

What travels across the link

Everything this connector moves between Airtable and Sendcloud, and how often.

  1. Shipments

    to Sendcloud automatically

    This is queued up in Sendcloud ready to ship, with address and contents already attached, so all that is left is a label.

  2. Labels

    to Sendcloud automatically

    A shipping label follows in Sendcloud once the details are complete, so there is nothing to retype.

  3. Inventory

    to Sendcloud automatically

    Stock levels travel along into Sendcloud, so warehouse and sales sit on the same count.

Both sides

What each side expects

Airtable and Sendcloud do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.

Sendcloud

Sendcloud wants a complete delivery address, a weight or parcel size and a shipping method. If the country and postcode combination is wrong no label comes out and the shipment stalls.

In four steps

    We build and test

    You see the connector run on a few test records before anything becomes final.

Common questions

Can you connect Airtable to Sendcloud?

Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Airtable and Sendcloud, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.

Does Sendcloud need a complete address, and what if it is wrong?

Sendcloud needs a full delivery address to make a label. If the country and postcode do not match up, that shipment is held and shows in the log, rather than a wrong label coming out.

Can I choose the carrier in Sendcloud myself?

Yes. Which carrier and shipping method Sendcloud uses you set there; Schakel only hands the shipment over complete.

From what moment in Airtable does something reach Sendcloud?

As soon as you add or finish the row or task in Airtable that you chose as the trigger, it reaches Sendcloud.

What does connecting Airtable and Sendcloud cost?

You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.

How often does Airtable sync with Sendcloud?

That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.

What if Airtable or Sendcloud is briefly unavailable?

Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.

How do I connect Airtable to Sendcloud?

You give Schakel access to Airtable and Sendcloud once and pick what should travel. We set it up together with you, so no technical knowledge is needed, and after that it runs by itself.

Missing something you need?

Tell us what Airtable and Sendcloud should do for you. If it is not in here yet, that is usually because nobody has asked. We build on request and we reply within 24 hours.
