Coda Connector

Connect Zenmako to Coda to read, create, and manage data in your Coda documents. This enables AI to browse your docs, query tables, and add or update rows.

Getting Your API Token

Coda uses API tokens for authentication. Follow these steps to generate one:

Go to https://coda.io/account#apiSettings

Scroll down to the API Settings section

Click Generate API token

Give your token a descriptive name (e.g., "Zenmako Integration")

Copy the token immediately (it will only be shown once)

Store your token securely. If you lose it, you will need to generate a new one.

Note: Your API token grants access to all documents you can access in Coda. There is no way to restrict the token to specific documents.

Connecting Coda

Navigate to the Connections page in Zenmako

Click Add Connection and select Coda

Enter your credentials:

- API Token: Paste the API token you generated

Click Save

Click Test Connection to verify the setup works

If the test succeeds, your Coda connection is ready to use.

Common Issues

"Invalid API token" or "Unauthorized" error

This typically means your token is invalid or has been revoked. Solutions:

Verify you copied the complete token without extra spaces

Check that the token has not been deleted in Coda's account settings

Generate a new token if needed at https://coda.io/account#apiSettings

"Table not found" error

The table or document ID may be incorrect. Common causes and solutions:

You may be using a table name instead of its ID. Table IDs look like grid-abc123, not "My Table"

The docId and tableId are different. Make sure you are using the correct ID for each.

Use the listTables action to find the correct table ID for your document
