Airtable API
Organize anything with Airtable, a modern database created for everyone. Airtable is a fast and flexible way to create tables to keep track of anything, from sales leads to vacation planning to inventory management.

Use the Airtable Connector
Add the airtable connector on your Zenaton dashboard,
enter the credentials and authorize Zenaton to call the airtable API from your workflows.
Then add code snippet and URL path to your workflow.
const { workflow } = require("zenaton")
module.exports = workflow("MyWorkflow", function* () {
const airtable = this.connector(
'airtable',
'connector-id')
const response = yield airtable.get('path_to_API')
const params = {body: {param1: '...'}}
yield airtable.post('path_to_API', params)
})The Zenaton Engine
We handle the complexity of orchestrating Airtable API calls and related logic in your code.
Out of the Box API Call
Add the connector to your Zenaton workflow and we manage the authentication, oauth1 and oauth2 flow including token refreshing.
Automatic Retries & Alerting
If your Airtable API call fails, it can automatically be retried and you will receive an alert with error details.
Monitoring and Troubleshooting
View the Zenaton dashboard for execution history, scheduled tasks, errors and logs or retry failed Airtable API calls.
Integrate Airtable into your application logic
The Zenaton connector is a pre-configured task for calling the Airtable API inside your workflow with one line of code. Build custom integration logic by adding a workflow directly into your application using the functions in the Zenaton SDK.
// The Zenaton engine orchestrates airtable API calls and related logic via the Zenaton agent. Every step is executed at the right moment on your servers and monitored on Zenaton dashboard.
const { workflow } = require("zenaton");
// airtable authentification on Zenaton
module.exports = workflow("ParallelWorkflow", function* () {
const airtable = this.connector(
'airtable',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
// execute parallel tasks handled automatically by the Zenaton engine
const [a, b] = yield this.run.task(["TaskA"],["TaskB"]);
if (a > b) {
const response = yield airtable.get('path_to_API');
} else {
yield this.run.task('TaskD');
}
});
const { workflow } = require("zenaton");
// airtable authentification on Zenaton
module.exports = workflow("AsynchronousWorkflow", function* () {
const airtable = this.connector(
'airtable',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
this.run.task('TaskA');
this.airtable.post('path_to_API');
yield run.task('TaskB');
yield this.run.task('TaskD');
});
// Tasks can be automatically (or manually) retried and executions are displayed in real-time on the Zenaton dashboard.
const { workflow, duration } = require("zenaton");
// airtable authentification on Zenaton
module.exports = workflow("WaitWorkflow", function* () {
const airtable = this.connector(
'airtable',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
yield this.run.task('TaskA');
// The 'wait function is managed by the Zenaton engine and will be executed on your worker at the right time.
yield this.wait.for(duration.days(7));
yield airtable.get('path_to_API');
});
const { workflow, duration } = require("zenaton");
module.exports = workflow("WaitEventWorkflow", function*() {
const airtable = this.connector(
'airtable',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
// Wait for up to 24 hours for the event using the Zenaton Wait Function.
const event = yield this.wait.event("MyEvent").for(duration.hours(24));
if (event) {
// If event has been triggered within 24 hours
yield this.run.task('TaskA');
} else {
// else calls airtable API
yield airtable.get('path_to_API');
}
}
});
