Coda
Note
The Coda API is in beta. As Coda updates and releases newer versions of the API, they reserve the right to remove older APIs and functionality with a 4-week deprecation notice.
The Coda modules allow you to monitor docs and tables, create docs and rows, and search or retrieve details about doc structures, tables, docs, formulas, and controls in your Coda account.
Prerequisites
A Coda account
In order to use Coda with Make, it is necessary to have a Coda account. If you do not have one, you can create a Coda account at coda.io/signin.
To connect your Coda account to Make you need to generate an API token and provide it to Make.
1. Sign in to your Coda account and open Account settings.
2. Navigate to the API SETTINGS section and click on the Generate API token button.
3. Give your API token a name and generate the token by clicking the Generate API token button.
4. Copy the generated API token.
5. Go to Make and open the Create a connection dialog.
6. Paste the generated API token to the API token field and click on the Continue button.
The connection has been established.
