Airtable – Create a connection

Airtable is a powerful cloud-based platform that combines the simplicity of a spreadsheet with the complexity of a database. It allows users to organize, track, and collaborate on projects by storing data in structured formats with customizable fields, views, and automation capabilities.

By integrating Airtable with Wiresk, you can expand your operational capabilities, bringing data-driven workflows to life with automation and enhanced connectivity.

How to create a Flow ↓

• Select your Group, then on the Flow management screen click on “Create Flow”.

A – Select the Trigger

Flows can be executed by multiple Triggers, depending on the desired workflow. For example, you could use scheduled Triggers with different recurrence rules alongside a Webhook Trigger for immediate, event-driven runs of the Flow. If you choose to “Run Once“, the Flow will execute using only one Trigger and its sample data.

• On the new screen, name the Flow that you want to create.
• Add your Trigger by clicking on the red plus (+) Add button.

• On the Trigger selection screen, search your app or select it from the list below the screen.

Select your preferred Trigger on the next screen and customize its settings. See Airtable Triggers list and settings.

As mentioned in “How to connect your app to Wiresk” above, during your Trigger settings, you can create a new connection to your apps at this stage.
