Is it possible to sync records from applications such as Airtable or Baserow with Boards in Mattermost?

Hi,

at the moment, this is not possible, you would have to write your own synctool which makes use of the boards API:

Thanks. Do you happen to know, or anyone else, how to get started with adding a card through the API with n8n? I’d like to do this, I’m only getting stuck at some basics of authentication :open_mouth:

I don’t know n8n, but I assume it’s just yet another API client service on the internet.
The API call to create a card is outlined here:

https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/blob/main/server/swagger/docs/html/index.html#api-Default-createCard

It also includes examples and the Authorization is the same as the one you use for the Mattermost API. There are several methods to authenticate, please check this page:
