Airtable – Connection

Estimated reading time: 4 min

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.

Prerequisite:
To use Airtable with Wiresk, you must have an Airtable account. See official Website https://www.airtable.com
For developers, see Airtable API endpoint documentation here.

A connection to your Airtable account is needed so we can sync it with our platform.

There are two ways to connect your app to Wiresk:

  • In “My apps” section, where you can manage your connections (select or create your group first to get access to this section, refer to the Group system ).
  • While building your Flow, you can easily establish a connection to your app directly within the Flow builder. This can be done during the setup of either a Trigger or a Method.

This guide explains how to set up a connection in “My apps” section, which is essentially the same process as creating one on-the-go.

  • On your Wiresk’s Dashboard, select your Group.
  • On the left panel, go to “My apps” and select Screenshot 2025 04 08 at 9.58.41 in the morning Airtable - Connection
