Airtable
The Airtable modules allow you to monitor records and submitted forms or search, retrieve, create, update, and delete records in your Airtable account.
To get started with Airtable, create an account at airtable.com/signup.
You can connect Airtable in three ways:
Connect using OAuth
To connect Airtable using OAuth:
Log in to your Make account, open the Airtable module scenario, click the Add button next to the Connection type field, and select Airtable OAuth.
Optional: In the Connection name field, enter a name for the connection.
Optional: Click Show Advanced Settings and enter the client credentials created in the section, Obtain OAuth Credentials.
Click Save.
In the Authentication screen, click Add a base and select the base to which you want to grant access.
Click Grant access.
You have successfully connected the Airtable app with Make.
Connect using API Key or Personal Access Token
You can connect Airtable app using API Key or personal access token values from your Airatable account.
Caution
API keys will be deprecated by the end of January 2024. After this date, API keys will stop working, and you will have to migrate to personal access tokens. Personal access tokens allow you to grant API access to Airtable data securely. Learn more.
Log in to your Airtable account.
Click Your Profile Icon > Developer hub.
Click API key and copy the API key to a safe place.
Log in to your Make account, open the Airtable module scenario, click the Add button next to the Connection type field, and select the connection type as Airtable token or key.
Optional: In the Connection name field, enter a name for the connection.
Select the token type as Personal Access Token, or API Key.
If you selected the token type as API Key, enter the token copied in step 3.
If you selected the token type as Personal Access Token, enter the token copied in the section, Create Personal Access Token.
Optional: Click Show Advanced Settingsand select the proxy service in the Proxy field.
Note
By choosing a Proxy, you understand and confirm that your Airtable data, including API keys, will be routed through a third-party service.
Click Save.
You have successfully established the connection. You can now edit your scenario and add more Airtable modules. If your connection needs reauthorization, follow the connection renewal steps here.
Create Personal Access Token
To connect using Personal Access Token:
Log in to your Airtable account.
Click Your Profile Icon > Developer hub.
Click Personal access tokens > Create new token.
Enter a name for the access token, select the Scopes, Access, and click Create token.
Copy the Personal Access Token to a safe place, and click Done.
You have created personal access token successfully.
Obtain OAuth Credentials
Providing OAuth credentials is optional.
When you select the connection type as OAuth, authorize your account without the need to provide OAuth credentials.
To obtain OAuth credentials:
Log in to your Airtable account.
Click Profile > Developer hub.
Click OAuth integrations > Register new OAuth integration.
Enter the name for the integration and OAuth redirect URL as
https://www.integromat.com/oauth/cb/airtable3.
Click Generate client secret.
Copy the Client ID and Client Secret to a safe place.
Select the scopes, enter the support information, and click Save changes.
You have successfully created OAuth credentials.
Records
You can watch, create, update, search, retrieve, upsert, delete records, and watch responses using the following modules.
Returns all newly created or updated records in a view (required Created Time or Last Modified Time fields).
Connection | |
Base | Select the base that contains the table you want to watch for records. |
Table | Select the table you want to watch for new records. |
Trigger configuration | Trigger field Select the If you do not have a  Label field: used as a label for a record. For example, Choose where to start dialog.  |
Limit | The maximum number of records Make will return during one execution cycle. |
View | Select the view to watch the records. If selected, it will return the records only in that view. |
Formula | Enter the formula to filter records. For more details, refer to the Formula field reference documentation. The formula will be evaluated for each record, and if the result is not If combined with the For example, to only include records where Name isn't empty, pass in
|
Use Column ID | Select whether to use column ID instead of column name for mapping. This enables persistence over the column name change. Enabling this option allows to replace entity keys in the response; instead of entity names specified as parameter keys, their identifiers will be specified. Changing this value will break all existing mappings in this scenario. |
Triggers when a new response is submitted.
Warning
Available for paid Pro Plan only. See the Airtable pricing page.
The webhook URL needs to be generated in Make and added to the form configuration in the Airtable.
Add the Watch Responses module to your Make scenario.
Generate and copy the webhook URL.
Log in to your Airtable account.
Open the Base and the table you want for the form and create a Form view.
Set the form as needed, scroll down the form, and enable the Redirect to URL after the form is submitted option.
Enter the Webhook URL generated in step 2 to the displayed dialog box and add the ?record_id={record_id} just after the webhook URL to include the Record ID in the module's output, then click Save. The resulting URL will, for example, look like this:
https://hook.eu1.make.com/tgnp28pewooafbdgobvbh225hmocbn85?record_id={record_id}
Go back to your Make scenario and run the Watch Responses module only to load fields from Airtable and to be able to map those fields into the other modules.
Submit the form in Airtable where the Redirect to URL after the form is submitted option is enabled and Webhook URL added (step 6 above).
The Watch Responses module is triggered and loads the desired data.
Add the Airtable > Get a Record module just after the Airtable > Watch Responses module and map the record_id to the Record ID field.
Every time the form is submitted, the Watch Responses module in your Make scenario is triggered, and the Get a Record module returns the submitted form details.
