Here’s the checklist that usually fixes an “Update record” failure with the Airtable integration: 1. Make sure you’re referencing variables with double curly-braces.

[
  {
    "id": "{{record_id}}",            // ✅ variable injected
    "fields": {
      "tropos_pliromhs": "{{user_tropos}}"  // ✅ variable injected
    }
  }
]

[
  {
    "id": "{{record_id}}",            // ✅ variable injected
    "fields": {
      "tropos_pliromhs": "{{user_tropos}}"  // ✅ variable injected
    }
  }
]

Using single braces ( {record_id} ) sends the literal text “{record_id}” to Airtable, so the call is rejected. 2. Confirm the variables actually have values • In the Debug panel run the flow and check that record_id contains an Airtable ID that starts with rec…. • Check that user_tropos is not empty. 3. Field name must match Airtable exactly • tropos_pliromhs in Voiceflow has to be spelled 100 % the same as the column name in your table (case-sensitive). 4. Double-check the other required inputs in the Update Record step • Base ID and Table name/ID are filled in (or defaulted). • You’re using the Update record action (not Create). 5. Quick test • Drop a Get record step right before Update and pass {{record_id}} – if that step fails the ID is wrong. Apply the curly-brace fix first; in most cases that’s the only issue. If everything above checks out the update will succeed. Docs: https://docs.voiceflow.com (Airtable integration > Update record)
