You can do this in your Airtable account settings (this only needs to be done once):Ĥ – Select the Base and the Table you will be pulling data from:ĥ – After a few seconds of waiting you’ll get 3 sample records pulled from the table you selected: NOTE: To connect your Airtable account to Zapier you will need to generate an API key. We then send a weekly “report” to our Slack group so that everybody in the team is informed about the progress we made for the week.Ģ – Select ‘New record’ as an Airtable trigger event: We collect all of these improvements using Zapier. We have a table to track all improvements we make to our processes, documentation, etc. Let’s illustrate the setup process, using as an example a small automation from our business. *We can host your zap for you for $3/mo IF you hire us to set it up for you. A paid Zapier account* (free account doesn’t allow multistep zaps, which you’ll need for this).However, Zapier easily solves this problem. You can’t do this natively with Airtable.
