Build Airtable Scenarios

After connecting the app, you can perform the following actions:

Records

You can watch, create, update, search, retrieve, upsert, delete records, and watch responses using the following modules.

Watch Records

Returns all newly created or updated records in a view (required Created Time or Last Modified Time fields).

Connection

Establish a connection to your Airtable account.

Base

Select the base that contains the table you want to watch for records.

Table

Select the table you want to watch for new records.

Trigger configuration

Trigger field

Select the Created Time option to watch for new records or the Last Modified Time option to watch for modified records.

If you do not have a Created Time or Last Modified Time field in your scheme, we ask you to create one. Without this field, the trigger will not work correctly.

61d5a7b5d47d6.gif

Label field: used as a label for a record. For example, Choose where to start dialog.

Airtable_trigger_field.png

Limit

The maximum number of records Boost.space Integrator will return during one execution cycle.

View

Select the view to watch the records. If selected, it will return the records only in that view.

Formula

Enter the formula to filter records. For more details, refer to the Formula field reference documentation.

The formula will be evaluated for each record, and if the result is not 0, false, "", NaN, [], or #Error!, includes the record in the response.

If combined with the view parameter, it returns only records in that view that satisfy the formula.

For example, to only include records where Name isn’t empty, pass in NOT({Name} = '') as a parameter like this:

filterByFormula=NOT%28%7BName%7D%20%3D%20%27%27%29

Use Column ID

Select whether to use column ID instead of column name for mapping.

This enables persistence over the column name change. Enabling this option allows to replace entity keys in the response; instead of entity names specified as parameter keys, their identifiers will be specified. Changing this value will break all existing mappings in this scenario.

Watch Responses

Triggers when a new response is submitted.

[Warning] Warning

Available for paid Pro Planonly. See the Airtable pricing page.

The webhook URL needs to be generated in Boost.space Integrator and added to the form configuration in the Airtable.

  1. Add the Watch Responses module to your Boost.space Integratorscenario.

  2. Generate and copy the webhook URL.

    Airtable_webhook_.gif
  3. Log in to your Airtable account.

  4. Open the Base and the table you want for the form and create a Form view.

    61d5a7c07e2c4.gif
  5. Set the form as needed, scroll down the form, and enable the Redirect to URL after the form is submitted option.

    61d5a7c446f88.png
  6. Enter the Webhook URL generated in step 2 to the displayed dialog box and add the ?record_id={record_id}just after the webhook URL to include the Record ID in the module’s output, then click Save. The resulting URL will, for example, look like this:

    https://hook.eu1.make.com/tgnp28pewooafbdgobvbh225hmocbn85?record_id={record_id}

    61d5a7c61cdbc.png
  7. Go back to your Boost.space Integratorscenario and run the Watch Responses module only to load the Record ID from Airtable and to be able to map that field into the other modules.

    Note: Airtable only supports sending the record_id parameter.

  8. Submit the form in Airtable where the Redirect to URL after the form is submitted option is enabled and the Webhook URL is added (step 6 above).

    The Watch Responses module is triggered and loads the Record ID.

    61d5a7c7b5df4.gif
  9. Add the Airtable > Get a Record module just after the Airtable > Watch Responses module and map the record_id to the Record ID field.

    Airtable_record_ID.png

Every time the form is submitted, the Watch Responses module in your Boost.space Integratorscenario is triggered, and the Get a Record module returns the submitted form details.

If combined with the view parameter, returns only the records in that view that satisfy the formula.

For example, to only include records where Name isn’t empty, pass in NOT({Name} = '') as a parameter like this:

filterByFormula=NOT%28%7BName%7D%20%3D%20%27%27%29
