Bases and records. Wherever a team keeps the spreadsheet that runs part of the business.

​
Connecting

In the dashboard, open Connectors, find Airtable and press Connect. The key you enter is checked against Airtable before anything is saved, so a key that is refused never becomes a connection that fails later.

What you will need

​
Getting the credential

  1. Go to Airtable Developer Hub
  2. Click Create new token
  3. Give your token a name and description
  4. Add required scopes:
    • data.records:read - Read records
    • data.records:write - Create/update records
    • schema.bases:read - Read base schemas
  5. Add access to specific bases you want to use
  6. Click Create token and copy the generated token

​
Notes

  • Tools take base and table IDs, not names. list_bases gives the base id (app…) and get_base_schema gives the table ids (tbl…).
  • A personal access token only reaches the bases you granted it — a missing base is usually a scope, not a bug.
  • 5 requests per second per base
  • Use batch operations to stay within limits
  • Monitor 429 responses and implement backoff
