Read, create, and update Airtable records from your workflows.
Overview
The Softr Airtable integration lets your no-code app talk directly to your Airtable bases. Trigger record lookups, creations, and updates from form submissions, button clicks, status changes, or scheduled workflows, then surface the results back in Softr lists, detail pages, and member dashboards.
Whether you're building an internal CRM on top of an existing base, a client portal where customers manage their own records, or an admin tool that bulk-updates inventory and project data, Airtable acts as your single source of truth — and Softr becomes the polished interface your users actually log into.
Available actions
- Add recordCreate a new record in any Airtable base and table when a user submits a form, signs up, or triggers an action in your Softr app.
- Get recordLook up a single Airtable record by ID and use its fields downstream in your workflow — to populate a confirmation page, send a personalized email, or feed another action.
- Get recordsQuery multiple records from a table with filters and sorting, perfect for powering Softr lists, member-specific views, or summary widgets.
- Update recordEdit a single Airtable record from inside Softr — update a status, mark a task complete, or change a customer's plan when the right event fires.
- Update recordsApply changes to many Airtable records at once, ideal for bulk admin actions like archiving, reassigning ownership, or rolling out a pricing change.
- Delete recordRemove a single record from a table when a user cancels, withdraws, or removes an item from their account.
