Setup

If don't already have an Airtable account, make sure your create one first. For most actions, the free plan is sufficient to power your Links. Action Links integrates with the Airtable API directly rather than using metered automations, which at the time of writing have no plan-specific limitations.

Airtable does set plan-specific limits on the number of records, editors and the size of file attachments that it allows, which may be reason to upgrade. We recommend trying Airtable's free plan first, and then upgrading if you need to.

Action settings

Field	Details
Personal Access Token	You'll need to create a Personal Access Token if you haven't already. Find them on the Tokens page in your Airtable account. If you have an existing API Key you can also use this, but note that Airtable intend to deprecate API Keys in the future.

Make sure you've granted the required scopes to your Personal Access Token

Airtable requires you to specify scopes – the level of access that your Token grants to the applications that use it – when creating your Personal Access Token. The majority of our Airtable actions will only require the data.records:read scope, but you should check the documentation for specific actions to confirm if any other scopes are required.

Making sure your Action Links are secure

We use industry standard security to integrate with your other systems, including OAuth 2.0 when authorising access, and AES256 encryption when storing the tokens we use to authenticate.
