Hey all!

I’ve followed the instructions to get a CSV to Bubble Import to try and work with no success. I was able to get this to work about a year ago successfully. I keep getting this issue. “message”: “Missing object of type Parabola: object with id %7Bid%7D does not exist”, I’ve tried to follow what you guys have suggested to others without any success. I have a pretty simple workflow right now. Hopefully I’m just missing something simple.

Hey @mack,

It looks like you are making a `PATCH` request to update existing records in your Bubble backend. You’ll notice an `id` parameter is appended to the end of your API Endpoint URL.

Since your Google Sheet doesn’t have any ids, the API returns a 404 error.

If you want to add new records to your backend, I recommend making a POST request instead. Check out the [Bubble documentation](https://manual.bubble.io/core-resources/api/data-api#create-a-new-thing) for more information!
