Airtable

Add Airtable to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.

Embed an Airtable integration so your customers can work their own bases, tables, and records from inside your product, and so your agents can read and write them under per-tenant governance. Because every base has a different schema, field mapping is configuration per customer rather than code, so an unusual base does not require a release from you.

In your product

Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.

Let customers read records from their own bases into your product, mapped to their fields.

Create and update records from your product so users do not switch tools.

Read table schemas at runtime so your product adapts to each customer's base.

Trigger your product when a record is created or updated.

For your AI agents

Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.

An agent reads records from a base before answering a question.

An agent creates or updates a record within governed permissions.

An agent reacts to a record change and runs the next workflow step.

Example prompt

Find records in the intake table with no owner set and created more than three days ago.

Set up Airtable in 4 steps

  1. 01Open the Airtable connector from your fastn dashboard.
  2. 02Have each customer authenticate their Airtable account and select bases.
  3. 03Map the tables and fields your product uses, then enable actions and triggers.
  4. 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.

Why teams use the Airtable integration

What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.

  • Ship an Airtable integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Airtable account inside your product and work their records, datasets and fields there, with no per-customer code on your side.
  • Handle the part that actually costs time: schemas differ per customer and change without notice, and volumes can be large. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so an Airtable update is not your on-call problem.
  • One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Airtable connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you read and write your customers' data where it already lives without wiring it twice.

Airtable integration FAQ

How do I add an Airtable integration to my product?

Enable the Airtable connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Airtable account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Airtable client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.

Do my customers each connect their own Airtable account?

Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Airtable account and only ever sees their own records, datasets and fields. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.

Can AI agents use this Airtable integration?

Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent reads records from a base before answering a question.

Who maintains the Airtable integration?

fastn does. When Airtable changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.

Does the Airtable integration adapt when a customer's schema changes?

Schema and field mapping is configuration per customer, so a change on their side is a mapping update rather than a code change and a release on yours.

How are large Airtable reads handled?

Pagination and throttling are handled for you, and initial backfills are rate-limited so a large import does not exhaust a customer's API allowance.

What can I build with the Airtable integration?

A common starting point: read records from their own bases into your product, mapped to their fields. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.

How much does the Airtable integration cost?

It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Airtable does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
