Use airtable as simple queuing

Hi,

If you having trouble with queuing data or paging, a simple solution is to load the data in airtable and add a status column.

Set a view with status not done

In n8n add this view to read:

And at the end of the flow set the status column to done.

If you run the workflow on a interval it will read and update untill it has an empty view

Great example.
You can of course also use another application where you can store data into a table. Like baserow or simply a sql database or whatever you like. The example still works on those as well :+1:

It’s more about the mindset :slight_smile: non dev people can overthink these kind of things.
