What is Airtable?

https://www.stack-ai.com/dashboard/folder/68657ff180e85a21dc5691e8

The Airtable node in StackAI enables seamless integration with your Airtable workspaces. You can perform database queries, retrieve records, and automate data management tasks as part of your workflow automation.

How to use it?

• Choose the action that you'd like to perform in Airtable (e.g., query, write).

• Connect to Airtable by signing in to your account. The Airtable node requires a valid Airtable connection (API key or OAuth connection) to access your bases.

• Fill out the parameters for the action that you'd like to take in Airtable by setting up the inputs and configurations.

• The node can be connected to input nodes (for dynamic queries), LLM nodes (for natural language queries), or other action nodes for advanced automation.

Example of usage

Suppose you want to search for all records in an Airtable base where the "Status" field is "Open".

• Connect an Input node to the Airtable node.

• Set the action to "database_query_airtable".

• Provide the base ID, table name, and filter formula as input parameters.

• The output will be a list of matching records.
