Airtable connector

Show records from an Airtable base on your site and add rows from forms — Genesis maps your data to your table's real fields.

Connect an Airtable base so your site shows its content — a catalog, a directory, a schedule, a portfolio — and adds records to it from forms. Genesis maps your data to the fields your table actually has, so there are no fixed columns to set up.

Setup

In Settings → Connectors → Airtable:

To create the token:

1. Open airtable.com/create/tokens and select Create token.
2. Add only the scopes the site needs: data.records:read to show records, data.records:write to add them, and schema.bases:read so Genesis can see your field names.
3. Under access, add only the base this site uses.
4. Create the token and copy it.

Whatever the token can do, the site can do — keep its scopes and bases as narrow as possible. Your token is encrypted on the server and never appears in your site.

Example prompts

Describe it in chat — no special syntax needed:

• "show the records from my base as a catalog"
• "list my Events table on the schedule page, sorted by date"
• "show only the projects marked Published"
• "save each contact-form submission as a new row in my Leads table"

Genesis can read the base's tables first, so it uses your real field names.

Use cases

• A catalog or directory your team updates in Airtable.
• A schedule or portfolio that stays current without republishing content.
• A lead table that fills from your forms.

Things worth knowing

• Read and add only. The site can show records and add new ones; it can't edit or delete rows in your base.
• Single-select and linked fields only accept values that already exist in Airtable — use a plain text field for free text from a form.
• Republish your site after configuring so the live site picks up the connector.
