Airtable

Personal access token for the Airtable Web API.

Fields

FieldDescriptionRequired
Personal Access TokenCreated at airtable.com/create/tokens (starts with pat). Grant data.records:read, data.records:write, and schema.bases:read, and choose which bases the token can access.Yes

Setup Steps

  • Step 1: Open the Airtable Builder Hub's Personal access tokens page at airtable.com/create/tokens and click Create new token.
  • Step 2: Add the scopes data.records:read, data.records:write, and schema.bases:read.
  • Step 3: Under Access, choose which bases or workspaces the token can reach — the node only sees the bases you grant here.
  • Step 4: Click Create token and copy the value (starts with pat). Airtable shows it only once.
  • Step 5: In Falcon Builder, go to Dashboard → Credentials → Add Credential, pick Airtable, and paste the token.
  • Step 6: Click Test Connection. We call GET /v0/meta/whoami to confirm the token is valid.

Notes

  • The schema.bases:read scope powers the node's Base — Get Many and Table — Get Many discovery operations; without it only the record operations work.
  • A request that targets a base outside the token's access list fails with a 403 — extend the token's access in Airtable rather than creating a second credential.
  • Legacy Airtable API keys were deprecated in February 2024 — use a personal access token (or regenerate one) instead.
