Airtable (OAuth) Overview#

Airtable (OAuth) API on Pipedream allows you to manipulate and leverage your Airtable data in a myriad of powerful ways. Sync data between Airtable and other apps, trigger workflows on updates, or process bulk data operations asynchronously. By using Airtable's structured databases with Pipedream's serverless platform, you can craft custom automation solutions, integrate with other services seamlessly, and streamline complex data processes.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Airtable (OAuth)	`airtable`	`app`	This component uses the Airtable (OAuth) app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Base	`baseId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`tableId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Field IDs	`fieldIds`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Return Fields By Field ID	`returnFieldsByFieldId`	`boolean`	An optional boolean value that lets you return field objects where the key is the field id. This defaults to `false`, which returns field objects where the key is the field name.

Trigger Authentication#

Airtable (OAuth) uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Airtable (OAuth) account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Airtable (OAuth) and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Airtable (OAuth) API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

data.records:readdata.records:writedata.recordComments:readdata.recordComments:writeschema.bases:readschema.bases:writewebhook:manageuser.email:read

Envoy Overview#

The Envoy API empowers users to streamline workplace operations, particularly visitor management, deliveries, and room bookings. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can automate tasks involving these aspects. For example, you can receive notifications when guests arrive, sync visitor data with other systems, or automate the creation and management of room bookings.
