Airtable API Credentials

Airtable API credentials allow your SubverseAI agents to interact with Airtable bases for database operations and data management.

​
Overview

Airtable credentials provide access to:
  • Database operations (CRUD)
  • Table and record management
  • Data synchronization
  • Spreadsheet-like database operations
  • Collaborative data workflows

Steps to Create Airtable API Credentials

​
1. Create Airtable Account

  1. Visit Airtable
  2. Sign up or sign in to your account
  3. Create or select a workspace

​
2. Generate Personal Access Token

  1. Navigate to the Developer Hub
  2. Click Create new token
  3. Enter a token name (e.g., “SubverseAI Integration”)
  4. Set permissions:
    • Select the workspaces to access
    • Choose scopes (read, create, update, delete)
  5. Click Create token
  6. Copy the token immediately - it won’t be shown again

​
3. Get Base and Table IDs

  1. Open your Airtable base
  2. From the URL, copy the Base ID (the part after https://airtable.com/)
  3. Go to Help > API documentation
  4. Select your base to see table IDs
  5. Note the Table IDs for tables you want to access

​
4. Add to SubverseAI

  1. Go to Credentials in your SubverseAI dashboard
  2. Click Create New Credential
  3. Select Airtable API from the credential types
  4. Enter a name for your credential
  5. Fill in the required fields:
    • Personal Access Token: Your Airtable API token
    • Base ID (optional): Default base ID for operations
  6. Click Test Connection to verify the credentials work
  7. Click Save Credential

​
Required Fields

  • Name: A descriptive name for your credential
  • Personal Access Token: Your Airtable personal access token
  • Base ID (optional): Default base ID for operations

​
Usage Tips

  • Use specific scopes to limit token permissions
  • Create separate tokens for different environments
  • Regularly rotate your access tokens
  • Use base and table IDs rather than names for reliability

​
Troubleshooting

Invalid Token: Ensure you copied the complete token including the pat prefix Permission Denied: Check that your token has the required scopes and workspace access Base Not Found: Verify the Base ID is correct and you have access to that base Rate Limit Exceeded: Airtable has API rate limits - implement retry logic
