Introduction

In this guide we'll walk through the process of linking Cerb to Airtable. You'll be able to use Airtable's full API for any automations you wish to make.

Click your user icon in the top right and click Builder Hub.

Choose Personal Access Tokens from the left menu and click Create New Token.

Name the token and select any scopes and access bases that are needed. For instance:

data.records:read
schema.bases:read

Click Create token and copy the API key.

Create the Airtable service in Cerb

Navigate to Search » Connected Services.
Click the (+) icon in the top right of the list.
Select Airtable.
