Appsheet adding rows

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A
,
1

Hi! I designed an app for an elevator maintenance company and there´s a module where i create new services, and i need a way so that our clients can register a new emergency but not through the app directly, but maybe through a botchat of some kind, maybe whatsaap or maybe even through a google form or something like that. Is it possible? Thanks for your input.

Google Forms is the only official supported one afaik, others would need the API which is part of the Enterprise plan

Google Forms is likely a great solution for this use case.

FYI, using the AppSheet API (either from within or outside an AppSheet app) doesn’t require an Enterprise plan. I think it’s using non-AppSheet APIs from AppSheet apps that requires an Enterprise plan.

Thanks! Do you know any tutorial for this API?

Just tested

Is this a bug or what? @Steve @MultiTech @Marc_Dillon @WillowMobileSys @1minManager

Bug? Not sure what you mean. We have always had access to the AppSheet API in the Core /$10/month/user plan

It has always worked no matter your plan. As far as I know, there has never been any comment from an Appsheet team member about this, neither about why it worked for non-enterprise, nor about if it would ever change.

It appears the pricing page has some new language about API features. Surprisingly (…or not), it seems even more confusing than before!

I have no idea.

[quote=“Phil”]
Yes, if you use the Appsheet Zapier integration to perform Adds, Updates, or Deletes to an Appsheet table you need an Enterprise plan. That is because the Appsheet Zapier integration is invoking the REST API which is an Enterprise feature. The same is true if you use the Appsheet Zapier integration to invoke a Appsheet define Action.

Seems like @Phil left the community or something :fearful: . Who could help with this question on the team @Steve ?

I want to use the API but I feel like it would be reckless to rely on it if it shouldn’t be available on Core, which seems like the expected behavior mentioned by Phil

I am using the webhook to call the Appsheet API - so its internal. I am now wondering, based your enlightening post, if maybe to call the API from a 3rd party requires the Enterprise plan?

I also know that Integromat has integrations to AppSheet API built in. I haven’t tried that yet to see if they work but I know others have. Maybe they can answer for us?

What I did:

There is a VSCode extension called thunder client that is similar to Postman and I was able to read all rows from a table from my sample app

Thanks for your input.

I don´t know too much about VSCode , so if you have any link or guide on how to integrate that into my app, that would be great.

VSCode is on the most simplified way just a text editor, I’m just saying what I did to test, it’s not something you integrate with any app

When the API first came onto the scene, I was told by someone on the engineering team (can’t remember who) that it was only going to be available for enterprise licenses.

  • But they never enforced this, allowing ALL licenses to make use of the API

  • From the get go, from what I was told, the intention was for all API calls to need the enterprise license

    • But this was never enforced

  • Then after a few months, things shifted to “only external calls” need the enterprise license

    • But even this isn’t enforced I don’t think

I feel negligent by relying on it but at the same time is a bummer not being able to use API on Core

17

From what I hear… it works.

  • It for sure it works internally with the core - meaning: I can setup a bot to run a webhook that calls the API to do something.

Hi all, the pricing page has listed the REST API capabilities in the Enterprise subscription bucket (both in pricing page and documentation). We’re evaluating why it’s not being enforced. Just for my own sanity check, I went to the internet Wayback machine to check and in a 2019 pricing page it’s called out as part what we called the AppSheet Business Plan back then.

Hi @SantiagoU , it’s nice to see you around.

So it’s safe to say that this will be enforced soon?

Hi there. We don’t have a timeline (it’s early) on this. We’ll communicate to the Community when we have something planned :slightly_smiling_face:

For the time being, it continues as is.
