n.watanabe

Do you find it tedious to manually transfer Square payment information to Airtable in your daily operations? Time spent on data entry and human errors can be significant obstacles in management and marketing.

The solution to this problem is the app integration of Square and Airtable using Yoom.
By implementing this system, information processed through Square is automatically registered in Airtable, simplifying data management.

For example, in retail stores, daily sales and customer information can be easily organized, allowing for the accurate accumulation of data useful for the next strategy.
Additionally, since it can be set up without programming knowledge, even those not familiar with IT can feel at ease. This article clearly explains the specific steps of the flow to register Square's payment completion information in Airtable. Why not take the first step towards improving operational efficiency together?

Recommended for

  • Those who manage payments with Square and organize sales and customer data in Airtable
  • Business owners who want to register Square's payment history in Airtable to understand customer trends
  • Marketers who want to analyze sales data by linking Square and Airtable
  • Those aiming to improve operational efficiency through API integration using Square and Airtable.

Benefits and Examples of Square and Airtable Integration

Benefit 1: Reduce manual workload and achieve accurate data management

By automatically registering Square's payment completion information in Airtable, you can reduce the time and human errors associated with manual entry.

For example, retail stores often have to manually transfer dozens of payment information entries daily, but this integration can reduce that burden. This will create an environment where staff can focus on more important tasks. Accurate data management with fewer errors can lead to smoother subsequent operations.

Benefit 2: Easier organization of customer data starting from payment information

Automatically registering information processed through Square in Airtable makes it easier to organize and track customer data.

For instance, when recording the purchase history of products bought by customers in a retail store, manual entry can often lead to omissions and errors. With this flow, information entered at the time of payment (such as product names and purchase amounts) is directly accumulated in Airtable, making it easier to understand customer purchasing trends. By tracking which products specific customers purchase and how frequently, you can use this as a foundation for future sales strategies and personalized responses.

Benefit 3: Analyzable data supports business decisions

Managing Square's sales information in a form that can be analyzed in Airtable makes it easier to measure campaign effectiveness and understand sales trends.

For example, you can check how well a specific seasonal product sold and use that information for the next promotional plan. This integration allows you to use sales data not just for storage but as material to generate specific actions for business improvement.

How to Create a Square and Airtable Integration Flow

From here, we will set up the integration flow between Square and Airtable using Yoom.
This flow involves registering in Airtable when a payment is completed in Square.

The general flow of the setup is as follows. - **Integrate Yoom, Square, and Airtable with My Apps** - **Copy the template** - **Detailed settings for Square and Airtable** - **Trigger ON to streamline workflow!** You can set it up without programming knowledge, so let's proceed together. Note that this flow will use branch settings. Branching is a feature (operation) available with Mini Plan or higher. Please note that if you are on the Free Plan, the operations of the flow bot you have set will result in an error. **Paid plans such as the Mini Plan offer a 2-week free trial. During the free trial, you can use restricted apps and AI features (operations).** [What is Yoom] ### **Step 1: Integrate Square and Airtable with My Apps** First, let's integrate Yoom with Square and Airtable in My Apps. After logging into Yoom, click "+ New Connection" from "My Apps" in the left menu. When the "New App Connection" window appears, search for each app name. For Square's My App integration, just enter your login information. For Airtable (OAuth) My App integration, login and access permission are required. Select the workspace to grant access and connect. Once My App integration is complete, it will be displayed in the list. If you can confirm Square in the same way, you are ready. Click "Try it" from the banner below, copy the template, and modify the title to proceed with the setup!

Step 2: Set Up App Trigger with Square

The initial setting is "When a payment is created".
The first page contains the Square account information that has already been linked with My App.

You can change the title to something more understandable.
It might be helpful to include the store or site name.

After confirming the account information, proceed to the next step without changing the trigger action.

Next, set the trigger interval.
Set it according to your business needs to check payment information on Square at specified intervals.

Note that the trigger interval may not be selectable depending on the plan, so please be careful.

Once the interval is set, complete a test payment on Square and click "Test".
If the test is successful, you can obtain the test payment information in the output.

If the values are correctly obtained, click "Save" to complete the app trigger setup.

Step 3: Set Up Branching

Next, click "Command Operation" to set up branching.
<span class="mark-yellow">This setting is to check in this flow whether the payment on Square is "COMPLETED".</span>

If the settings in the red frame of the above image are made, you can set up branching.
Branch the output where the "Status" obtained in the "When a payment is created" flow is "COMPLETED".

If the above setting is made, click "Save" to complete the branching setup.

Step 4: Set Up Airtable

The final setting is "Create Record".
On the first page, confirm the account information as with Square, and modify the title if necessary before proceeding.

On the next page, perform detailed settings to reflect information in Airtable.

After obtaining the Base ID and Table ID from the URL, enter the field information.
"Field Name" refers to each item name in Airtable. (Red frame part in the image below)

Once everything is entered, click "Test".
Errors may occur during testing depending on the input format selected in Airtable, so make corrections as needed.

If the test is successful, the output is obtained and the test payment information is reflected in Airtable.

Once confirmed up to this point, click "Save" to complete all settings.
Turn on the trigger and run the flow!

The flow set up this time is as follows.
