 Ready to supercharge your workflow automation? Today, we’re diving into the world of n8n workflow automation and how to effortlessly integrate your Airtable with it. If you’re looking to save time and boost efficiency, you’re in the right place!
Why Use n8n and Airtable Together?
With the rise of no-code solutions, the combination of n8n and Airtable API integration provides users with a robust platform for automated data workflows. By linking these tools, you can easily manage your data without writing a single line of code!
In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the process of setting up and updating credentials for Airtable within the n8n visual workflow builder. Let’s make automated data workflows as simple as 1-2-3!
Step-by-Step Setup of Airtable Credentials in n8n
Follow these steps to create a new workflow using n8n:
- Create a new workflow in n8n.
- Add a manual trigger.
- Incorporate an Airtable node and select the “Create a record” action.
Creating Your Airtable Credential
It’s essential to create your credential with the right scopes to interact effectively with Airtable. Here’s how:
1. Navigate to the credential settings within n8n and select “Create a new credential.”
2. Choose “Access token.” A pop-up explains the necessary scopes:
| Scope | Description |
|---|---|
| Data records read write | Allows reading and writing data records in Airtable. |
| Schema read | Permits reading the schema for tables in Airtable. |
3. Visit the Airtable developer hub from your dashboard: Click on your account profile and head to Developer Hub.
4. Create a new token. We’ll name it “n8n test.”
5. Add the necessary scopes to your token. Confirm the scopes are set correctly (as listed above) and select a specific base, like “Video generator“. Once completed, save the token.
Connecting your Airtable Token to n8n
Paste the token back into n8n to establish a successful connection. If correctly configured, you should see a “Connected successfully” message!
Updating Your Airtable Credentials
In some cases, you might need to update your credentials—perhaps you connected the wrong base or want to add more bases. Not to worry! Follow these simple steps:
- Return to the Airtable developer hub.
- Select your “n8n test” token.
- Click on “Add a base.”
- Select the new base and save changes.
After refreshing your n8n interface, the new base and its tables will be available. It’s that easy!
