Airtable – New Actions & Triggers in Workflows

Modified on Thu, 18 Sep at 8:02 AM

You can now connect Airtable directly to your workflows — making it easy to create, update, and sync records without needing webhooks. 
What’s New
Triggers (from Airtable → Platform):
  • New Record – Fires when a new record is added to a table.
  • Updated Record – Fires when an existing record is updated.
Actions (from Platform→ Airtable):
  • Create Record – Add a new row in an Airtable table.
  • Update Record – Modify fields of an existing record.
  • Find Record – Search for a record by ID, email, or other criteria.
  • Delete Record – Remove a record from Airtable.
Why This Matters
This gives accounts a native way to:
  • Keep Airtable synced with Platform leads, contacts, and campaigns.
  • Automate project and client data updates without third-party tools.
Example Use Cases
Internal Notifications
  • A new record is created in Airtable → Platform sends an internal email or Slack notification to the project manager.
Lead Syncing
  • A Facebook Lead Ad is submitted → Platform checks Airtable.
  • If the lead exists → record is updated.
  • If not → a new record is created.
AI Content Generation
  • A new “Content Brief” record is added to Airtable.
  • Platform sends it to GPT for caption generation.
  • A new ClickUp task is automatically created with the AI output.
How to Connect
  1. In Workflows, search for “Airtable.”
  2. Select a trigger or action → click Connect Now.
  3. Log in with your Airtable API key or OAuth.
  4. Or connect first via Settings → Integrations → Airtable.
