Use Field Names in API
C
Caleb Cook
It would be extremely helpful to have a "Hydrated" API endpoint where field names can be used to read and write data to SmartSuite. Airtable allows this where if the table header is labeled "full_name" I can EITHER specify the actual field ID, or just use the label. This makes it extremely easy to move quickly and scale external automations to multiple solutions.
The current workarounds are very tedious and make it hard to scale external automations using Make, N8n, etc across multiple solutions.

Hello Caleb Cook! I have a few more questions for you:
- What specific challenges are you facing with the current API that a 'Hydrated' endpoint would solve?
- Can you provide examples of how using field names instead of field IDs would improve your workflow?
- Are there specific external automation tools you are using that would benefit most from this feature?
