@ScottWorld - using the Airtable script method - is there a way to send over a header at the same time? Specifically thinking about any system that requires something like a Bearer Token.

Welcome to the community, @CanItBeAutomated!

The script would just be used for getting your Airtable data into your Make scenario.

However, if you then wanted to have your scenario connect to an API that requires a bearer token authorization, you would want to add in one of [Make’s HTTP modules](https://www.make.com/en/integrations/http?pc=scottworld). Most likely the “Make a request” module or the “Make a Basic Auth request” module.

Hope this helps! 😃 If you would like to hire the [best Airtable consultant](https://www.scottworld.com/airtable) to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: [Airtable consultant — ScottWorld](https://www.scottworld.com/airtable)

Yes, you would be able to write your own custom JavaScripts to do something like that.

Hi Scott - I’ve got everything working as it should be, but when I check the logs at [Make.com](http://Make.com), the webhook so generated is being rejected for a validation parameter error. I can see the data as make receives it is exactly the format I need it in so I’m not sure what else make wants here. Can you advise?
