Airtable

These are the Airtable actions available to the apps you build with Snow. 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.

  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.
