Getting Started with the Archive Pack
The Quickstart Guide for the Beta Archive Pack
First, !
Copy this doc
Overall, here’s what we’ll do in this doc to get you started with the Archive Pack:
I’ll walk you through it!
Step 1: Set Up
First, set up the Archive Pack
This is what an Archive Pack token looks like (but don’t use this one, use the one I emailed):
Our goal is going to be to archive this table!
Your Sample Table 2
Name
Height

Betty
000
372
Charles

173
Irina
000
88There are no rows in this table
You’re making great progress! Now let’s authorize the Archive Pack
Step 2: Archive Pack ❤️ Coda
You’ll need to get your Coda API Token. This will be used by the Archive Pack to pull data out of Coda.
For your security, I’ll show you how to limit the permissions of the Coda token you share.
2. Scroll down to API SETTINGS, then click Generate API token
3. Name the token “Archive Pack” so you can find it later.
(Recommended: add security restrictions to the token)
(or if you only want the Archive Pack to see one table, use [Your Table].ObjectLink() to get the table url)
4. Click Generate API token
5. Click Copy token and paste it below
Paste Your Coda API Token here
5. Finally, send the Coda API token to the Archive Pack with this button
Authorize archive pack

Step 3: Archive a Table
