Airtable

Airtable database workspace for bases, tables, records, fields, views, forms, and collaborators.

Helps with Airtable bases, tables, fields, records, comments, and record-change driven database workflows.

Example Use Cases

These are the Airtable actions Snow can use when building apps with you. Connecting an account does not make Snow run these on its own.

Create Record From Natural Language

Creates a new record in an Airtable table from a natural language description. Fetches the table schema, uses an LLM to generate the correct field payload, and creates the record with typecast enabled for automatic type conversion.

Create records

Tool to create multiple records (up to 10) in a specified Airtable table. Use when you need to add new rows to a table with field values. Rate limit: 5 requests per second per base.

Get Base Schema

Retrieves the detailed schema for a specified Airtable base, including its tables, fields, field types, and configurations, using the `baseId`.

Get Record

Retrieves a specific record from an Airtable table by its record ID. Requires a known, valid record ID obtained from listing records or another API call - this tool cannot search or list records. Use the list records tool to find record IDs. Empty field values are not returned in the response.

List bases

Retrieves all Airtable bases accessible to the authenticated user, which may include an 'offset' for pagination.

Update multiple records

Tool to update up to 10 records in an Airtable table with selective field modifications. Use when you need to modify multiple existing records or perform upsert operations. Updates are not performed atomically.

Update multiple records (PUT)

Tool to destructively update multiple records in Airtable using PUT, clearing unspecified fields. Use when you need to fully replace record data or perform upsert operations. Supports up to 10 records per request.

Update record

Modifies specified fields of an existing record in an Airtable base and table; the base, table, and record must exist.

Update record (PUT)

Updates an existing record in an Airtable base using PUT method. Use when you want to replace all field values, clearing any unspecified fields. For partial updates that preserve unspecified fields, use the PATCH-based update action instead.

Create base

Creates a new Airtable base with specified tables and fields within a workspace.
