Once you have created and run your first sync, you can check your logs to see how things went.
LOGS WHEN TESTING & REVIEWING
Testing and reviewing enables you to run the sync without calling the API - it means you can test it and see if it will work.
Your log will show whether there were any issues, which would show in the "Invalid" column.
The screenshot below shows a fully successful test.
- If you want more detail on each webflow collection item, you can click on "View details".
- You can filter the logs to view errors only for example, or warnings only.
- You can even search by Airtable record ID or Webflow item ID/item slug.
This is particularly useful for syncs with dozens/hundreds of items.
If you want more detail on one collection field, you can click on view: this will show the exact data that has been transferred over to Webflow.
You can even click on the Airtable record livk to view the Airtable field in your Airtable base.

LOGS WHEN RUNNING THE SAME SYNC AGAIN
Your next sync will show items in different categories:
Keeps: Items existed already in Webflow and remained unchanged
Updates: Existing items in Webflow were updated because one or several data fields changed
Creates: New items created in Webflow
Deletes: Deleted items in Webflow because not present in the data anymore
Mapping errors: this is validation done by PI before calling the API.
API errors: Errors that came back after calling the API.
The categories will only show if there are relevant items in there.
The screenshot below shows a new sync with 1 updated field, the 9 others remained unchanged.
The screenshot below shows an updated sync with 1 warning, and some API errors. Details are available so you can see which item has errored and what you can do about it.
DOWNLOADING YOUR ERROR LOGS
You can download your error logs into an Excel file.
This can make it easier for you to view all your errors at once.
Click on the "Export error logs" button, and an XLS file will be produced and downloaded to your computer.
And that's it! You are now a PowerImporter wizzard.
Enjoy!
