Channel

Setup

  1. Go to Settings → Integrations → Airtable → Connect.
  2. Authorise with an account that has access to everything you want to make available. For knowledge sources, use an admin or service account; permissions are still enforced per user at query time.
  3. Add Airtable as a source under Knowledge → (knowledge base) → Add source and choose the scope to include.

What is synced

Content from the scope you select, with its metadata (author, dates, location) and the access rights defined in Airtable. Changes are picked up by change notifications where Airtable supports them, otherwise on the schedule you set (15 minutes to daily). Deletions and permission changes are applied on the next sync.

Permissions

Access rights in Airtable are mapped to workspace users (by email) and groups. A user can only retrieve items they could open in Airtable itself. See Permissions & access control.

Tools

ToolScopePurpose
airtable.readreadRead records, messages or files in scope
airtable.searchreadSearch within Airtable
airtable.writewriteCreate or update items; subject to approval policies

Write tools require approval by default until an approval policy says otherwise. Every call is recorded in the run trace.

Triggers

Events from Airtable (new or updated items in scope) can start agent runs. See Automations & triggers.

Disconnecting

Disconnecting removes the credential from the vault immediately. Documents synced from Airtable are removed from knowledge bases within minutes and from backups as they rotate.
