Connect Airtable with Advanced Connections


There are four parts to setting up an advanced connection.

Step one: Select your App


Select the plus + button that appears underneath the actions heading. Use this to start building what you want to happen every time a user completes a step or flow. You have multiple options to choose from:

  • Action in app
  • IF condition
  • IF/ELSE condition
  • Repeat action
  • Call function
  • Stop job
  • Handle errors

Select Action in the app. From here you will be able to search for the app you would like to connect. 

Step two: Choose an action

Select what you want to happen in the app when a user completes a step or flow.

Step three: Connection

Connect Upflowy to Airtable by giving the connection a name, then providing the API key. Note: this connection is only visible for you, and other users cannot access it. 

Step four: Setup

Now, all you need to do is customize the settings to achieve the goal you are looking for. This will depend on your specific needs.

An alternative way to connect with Airtable: Zapier


You can connect your flow with Airtable through the third-party tool, Zapier as well. For this, you will need to

  • Have an Upflowy flow ready to use
  • Have a Zapier account
  • Have an Intercom account

First off, we'll go into Zapier and set the trigger as "Webhooks - Catch Hook":

Zapier Trigger

You will be prompted to set up the trigger. Copy the custom webhook URL supplied by Zapier:

Zapier Webhooks

Now go back to your Upflowy flow, copy-paste that Webhook into the URL input field on the Connectors" Tab, and click "Save": 

Then, go into the "preview" mode and run through the flow.

Upflowy Preview

Return to Zapier and select "Test trigger" once you have previewed the flow. If successful, a "We found a request!" message will appear, detailing all of the information from Upflowy.

Great work so far! 

Now, let's continue in Zapier and set the action to the one that aligns with your goals. After this, you will be asked to sign in to your Airtable account.

In the next step, connect the Upflowy data with the form by selecting the right data corresponding to the field in Airtable. 

Congratulations, you are ready to go! Simply turn the Zap on, and your data collected through Upflowy will pass on to Airtable.
