Common questions
Can you connect Otto to Airtable?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Otto and Airtable, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Which Airtable project or list do the tasks land in?
The project or list you choose. That keeps everything in one place rather than scattered, and follow-up does not depend on someone remembering.
Can I decide what goes into the Airtable task or row?
Yes. When setting it up you pick which details from Otto come along, so a task or row in Airtable has just enough context.
Do I still have to log into Otto once the connector runs?
No. Once it runs, everything you now look up in the Otto seller account arrives in Airtable by itself. You only open Otto when you want to check something yourself.
What does connecting Otto and Airtable 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 Otto sync with Airtable?
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.
Does the connector also pick up Otto returns and cancellations?
Yes. Besides new orders, Schakel also sees returns and cancellations on Otto, so Airtable does not lag behind what actually sold.
What if Otto or Airtable 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.
