Airtable

Productivity Personal access token Windmill docs

Read and write Airtable records, tables, fields and comments from any Windmill script, flow or app.

Set up in 3 steps

1

Create a personal access token

At airtable.com/create/tokens, create a token with the bases it may reach and copy it. Grant data.records:read/write, schema.bases:read for the base and table dropdowns, and schema.bases:write or data.recordComments:read/write if you edit tables or comments.

2

Add the resource in Windmill

Open Resources, add a resource of type airtable, and paste the token.

3

Run your first script

Fork any script below. Pick the base, then the table, from the dropdowns; they list what the token can reach.

Scripts

Building blocks, if none of the projects above fit. Fork one, run it, or call it as a step inside your own flow.

Flows

Multi-step workflows that already wire Airtable to something else.

Trigger flows from Airtable

Airtable is not only a destination. These inbound paths are supported today.

Airtable webhooks on an HTTP route

Airtable webhooks are created through its API with a notificationUrl pointing at a Windmill HTTP route, and each notification is only a ping, so the route's script fetches the changed payloads itself. A webhook made with a personal access token expires after 7 days unless refreshed, so schedule a refresh.

The credential shapes the scripts on this page expect — pick the one your script asks for.

Questions

The base or table dropdown is empty or errors

The dropdowns need the schema.bases:read scope and only list the bases added to the token. Edit the token in Airtable to grant both.

Can I connect with OAuth instead of a token?

Not yet: Airtable's OAuth requires PKCE, which Windmill's OAuth connections do not send.

Is my key stored on the hub?

Never. It lives only in your own Windmill workspace, encrypted at rest.
