Embedding Airtable after regenerating a view or base share link

  1. Open your Airtable home screen.

  2. Open the base with the embed you want to update.

  3. There are two different access points when accessing base and view share embeds:

    1. View share embeds - Click Share and sync in the upper-right corner. Click Embed this view. A preview window opens, allowing you preview how your embed will look outside of Airtable.

    2. Base share embeds - Click the name of the base in the upper-left corner. Click the share icon . Click Share publicly. If the toggle reads “Shared base link (read-only) is disabled,” then toggle it on. Next to the share link URL, click the <> embed icon. A preview window opens, allowing you preview how your embed will look outside of Airtable.

  4. Click Copy embed code.

  5. Paste the iframe embed code over any instance using the outdated embed code.

FAQs

Can I embed Airtable on Wordpress?

Wordpress.com sites are hosted by Wordpress on their servers, and have restrictive functionality around embedding third-party content like Airtable. Wordpress sites are hosted on other companies' servers (e.g., WPEngine) but have complete customizability and control. Airtable embeds only work on the latter, not the former.

Why is my embed missing 1 or more fields?

If your embed is missing 1 or more fields, those fields were likely added to the table in another view after creating the embed. Remember that embeds work off of an individual view, so hidden fields, record filters, groups, and sorts are all reflected in the embed of that view.
