Let's set up an example IFTTT applet in which Airtable is the trigger channel: Suppose you're running a survey using Airtable forms, and you'd like to be notified whenever someone submits a response.
Making an IFTTT applet with Airtable as the trigger From the IFTTT home page, click on the My Applets link at the top of the page:įrom the My Applets page, click the New Applet button: To make an IFTTT applet, you'll first need to login (or create ) an IFTTT account.
If you change/update the record in Airtable, this will not affect the pin on your Pinterest board. If you unpin the image, it will not delete, alter, or otherwise change the record in Airtable. Suppose your IFTTT applet is: If I pin a new image on Pinterest, thencreate a new record in my Airtable base. Note that the relationship between a trigger and an action in an IFTTT applet is one-way and a trigger will fire only once in response to an expected event-there is no permanent connection between the two channels. the contents of the primary field), or the URL of the record. So if Airtable was the trigger, this would include things like the time at which the record was created, the name of the record (i.e. When configuring an applet, you'll need to use ingredients, which is IFTTT's term for variable bits of information from the trigger. If a new book appears on the New York Times Hardcover Fiction Best Sellers list, then create a record in my Airtable base with the name and author of that book. If a new record is created in my Airtable base, then send me an email letting me know. 
If the weather forecast predicts rain for tomorrow, then send me a text message reminding me to bring an umbrella to work tomorrow. Different services include different triggers (the "if" part of the recipe) and actions (the "then" part of the recipe). Airtable, iOS/Google Contacts, Dropbox, etc. The basic structure of an IFTTT applet involves connecting two of IFTTT's 300+ services together. This means that if you change the names of your tables and fields after setting up your recipe, your applet will break and no longer work as intended. Please be aware that Airtable's integrations with IFTTT are rather fragile, as IFTTT cannot automatically retrieve the names of your tables and fields. You can use Airtable as either a trigger or an action in an IFTTT applet. Using IFTTT, you can create an "applet," which is basically a set of instructions in the form of "If, then " that will automate a particular task for you. IFTTT (which stands for "If this, then that") is a third-party service that can connect Airtable to hundreds of other apps, services, and devices.
