Former NoBull user here.
I set up CMS Bridge for a client who uses Airtable to manage their assets, content, etc.
The final product is really great (much simpler to use, better UX/UI, etc.).
After completing the setup and testing on my end (everything works perfectly), the idea now is for my client/Airtable end-user to independently manage their content (just like with NoBull).
However, logging into Finsweet seems required by the extension
→ Of course, the Finsweet account is linked to my Agency account (multi-account, projects, etc.).
Thanks so much for supporting Nobull and now, CMS Bridge.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to transfer Connections, as we do not have a concept of workspaces in CMS Bridge. You will need to build everything in your client’s Finsweet account & the client would need to manage their billing.
I read in the documentation that the Sync is linked to the “Last Modified” column created. I ran a test by changing an asset, but nothing happened…
CMS Bridge uses both the CMS-B: Sync time and Last Modified time Fields for comparison to find the most recently updated record.
So, the value of the Last Modified time Field should always be newer than that of CMS-B: Sync time.
You can always manually clear the value CMS-B: Sync time to trigger a record to Sync.
Please let me know if you have any other questions, thanks!
This is troubling, as we take most of the costs/systems from our clients, and host as much on our agency accounts - having clients to need to create and manage extra accounts is not something we want.
Hope there will be a different way to be able to let clients sync their content.
I’m wanted to ask a followup to this… came here with a similar problem…
Is there a way to trigger CMS bridge to update using a button on an Airtable interface? If there was a way to simply make it easy to click sync, instead of the “extensions” sidebar, that would be very helpful.
Also, I deleted the timestamp in the CMS-B: Sync Time, but CMS Bridge has not updated… Is there anything else needed to have it automatically run than delete the information in that column?

No, it’s not possible because CMS Bridge works within the Airtable Extension environment. So, you can use (or interact with) CMS Bridge only from the Extensions panel, not outside of it. The same is the case with any Airtable Extension.

You need to manually sync CMS Bridge as there’s not auto-sync functionality yet.
