Hi everyone,
I’m building a workflow that needs to trigger when a specific field in an Airtable record is deleted, but I’m stuck on a persistent error and hoping someone might have an idea what’s going on.
My Goal: To have a workflow start automatically the moment I delete an entry in Airtable.
The Problem: The Airtable Trigger node consistently fails with the error: NodeOperationError: The Field “Status” does not exist.
Credentials: I’m using a Personal Access Token.
What I’ve Already Tried: I’ve been troubleshooting this for a while and have already tried the following without success:
Confirmed the field is named exactly “fecha de actualizacion” (case-sensitive) in my Airtable table.
Created a brand new Personal Access Token.
Confirmed the token has the required Scopes: data.records:read, data.records:write, and schema.bases:read.
Confirmed the token has Access granted to the correct Airtable Base.
Deleted and recreated the credentials in n8n multiple times.
Configured the node using both Base/Table URLs and Base/Table IDs.
Field name exists and it’s correct
Has anyone else encountered this with the Airtable Trigger on this version of n8n? Is there a known bug or another troubleshooting step I might have missed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hi @Jean_Mazniak,
welcome to the n8n community!
Have you made sure that the “Status” field you’re using as trigger is one of the following types in airtable:
- created
- last modified
Different types are not supported as trigger fields.
hey
sorry, just wanted to clarify that my field is called “fecha de actualizacion”, not “status”, i checked and it is the real name, but it’s actually a last modified field type, which exists
P.S i have updated the field name in the first post
Also, i am using same field as trigger in other workflows of the same project and they are working well.
