Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect Airtable to your CData Connect Cloud account:

  1. Open the Connections page of the CData Connect Cloud dashboard.

  2. Click + Add Connection in the upper-right corner.

  3. Type Airtable into the search field, then click the data source name.

  4. On the Basic Settings tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.

By default, Enable Metadata API (in the Advanced Settings tab) is set to true. Enabling the Metadata API requires the ‘schema.bases:read’ scope for both PersonalAccessToken and OAuthPKCE authentication.

Authentication Methods

PersonalAccessToken

  1. Enter the Airtable Personal Access Token in the OAuth Access Token field. To obtain the token, log in to your Airtable user account, navigate to the token creation page, and click Create new token. Add all the workspaces and bases that you want the token to have access to. Copy and save the generated token, as it will only be shown once.

  2. Enter your Airtable Base Id. The Base Id can be found in the Airtable API Reference.

  3. At the top of the CData Connect Cloud Add Airtable Connection page, click Save & Test.

    • If the connection test succeeds, a message indicates that your connection has been created. The Status on the Edit Connection page also changes to Authenticated.

    • If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. CData Connect Cloud displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the Sign in button. Correct the errors and try again.

    • Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a Status of Not Authenticated. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
