Airtable
Personal access token for the Airtable Web API.
Fields
| Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Personal Access Token | Created 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/tokensand click Create new token. - Step 2: Add the scopes
data.records:read,data.records:write, andschema.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/whoamito confirm the token is valid.
Notes
- The
schema.bases:readscope 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.
