Airtable overview & authentication

​

Overview

Our Airtable integration allows you to easily connect to the Airtable API and perform tasks such as creating / updating / deleting single or multiple records in your tables.

​

Installation

To get started with our Airtable integration, you need to install the @trigger.dev/airtable packages. You can do this using npm, pnpm, or yarn:

npm install @trigger.dev/airtable@latest

​

Authentication

To use the Airtable API with Trigger.dev, you can either use OAuth or a Personal Access Token.

​

OAuth

To use OAuth you can connect to Airtable via the Trigger.dev web app. Click ‘Integrations’ in the side panel of any project, configure Airtable with a unique ID and the required scopes.

import { Airtable } from "@trigger.dev/airtable";

//this will use OAuth
const airtable = new Airtable({
  id: "airtable",
});

​

Personal Access Token

You can create an Airtable Personal Access Token here.

import { Airtable } from "@trigger.dev/airtable";

//this will use the passed in token (defined in your environment variables)
const airtable = new Airtable({
  id: "airtable",
  token: process.env["AIRTABLE_TOKEN"],
});

​

Tasks

Once you have set up a Airtable client, you can use it to create tasks.
