Airtable

In one line: Connect Airtable so UnleashX can read and search records, add and update rows, create tables, and detect new records — turning your bases into a live data source for your agent.

​
1. Overview

Airtable is a flexible database that looks like a spreadsheet. Teams use it as a lightweight CRM, content calendar, inventory tracker, project board and much more — organized into bases, tables, records and fields. Once connected to UnleashX, your agent can add a new record after a call, update a status, search for a row by any value, list what’s in a table, or watch a table and react when a new record appears. Connecting Airtable to UnleashX means your operational data stays current automatically, and your agent can both read context from a base and write results back into it.

​
2. What you’ll need

  • An Airtable account.
  • The base(s) and table(s) you want UnleashX to access.
  • Permission to create a Personal Access Token with access to those bases.
No access to a base? Ask the base owner to share it with you (or with the account that creates the token). The token only reaches bases it’s explicitly granted.

​
3. Get your credentials

UnleashX authenticates to Airtable with a Personal Access Token (PAT).
1

Open Personal access tokens

Go to Airtable → Builder hub → Personal access tokens: https://airtable.com/create/tokens
2

Create a token

Click Create token and give it a name like “UnleashX”.
3

Add scopes

Add the scopes from the table below.
4

Grant base access

Under Access, add the specific base(s) (or workspace) the token may reach.
5

Create and copy

Click Create token and copy it.
Airtable shows the token only once. Copy it now and store it safely — you can’t view it again.

​

​
6. Example usage

“Add a row to my ‘Leads’ table with name Jane Doe, email jane@acme.com, status New.” Runs List Bases / List Tables to resolve the table, then Create Record. “Find the lead with email jane@acme.com and mark their status as Contacted.” Runs Search Records to find the record, then Update Record.

​
7. Permissions & data access

UnleashX can:
  • Read, search, create, update and delete records in bases the token can reach.
  • List bases, tables and fields, and create new tables.
  • Watch a table for new records and reset that watch.
UnleashX cannot:
  • Access any base the token wasn’t explicitly granted.
  • Change Airtable account settings, billing or sharing.
  • Delete entire bases.
To disconnect: In UnleashX go to Data Connectors → Airtable → Disconnect. To fully revoke, delete the token in Airtable → Builder hub → Personal access tokens. Revocation is immediate.

8. Troubleshooting

​
9. Frequently asked questions

Is my Airtable data stored by UnleashX? No. Tools call the Airtable API live and return the result. Small snapshots of record IDs are kept only to power the “new record” trigger, and you can clear them with Clear Snapshots. Can multiple team members connect Airtable? Yes. Each agent stores its own token. Grant each token only the bases it needs. How do I rotate my token? Create a new Personal Access Token, reconnect in UnleashX, then delete the old token.
