Airtable Integration Examples

Though not an automatic integration, CSV import/export can be the ideal way to transfer data when the transfer schedule is relaxed (i.e. weekly, monthly). New bases or tables can be created using a CSV import. The CSV import extension will allow users to import additional data into an existing table.

The scripting extension allows users to write and run JavaScript code that interacts with your Base. Built-in JavaScript libraries (like fetch) allow users to make external API calls to certain services. Can be triggered by a button field or from the extensions panel. Note: this code runs client-side and may require a CORS work-around.
