# Connect AI agents to your Airtable workspace

*AI agents that read your Airtable bases, draft new records, and post the result to Slack — pipeline summaries, content calendars, ops dashboards.*

## The connection

Fidelic agents connect to Airtable through OAuth + the Airtable REST API. Your agent reads the bases and tables the workspace owner explicitly shares.

When the agent reads, it stays inside the bases you've shared. Nothing leaves your Airtable workspace unless the agent posts a result to [Slack](https://slack.com/) or creates a record in a destination base you authorized.

## Permissions requested

- Read records in bases the workspace owner shares
- Create new records in bases the agent has write access to
- Read user metadata for proper attribution

Official docs: <https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/introduction>

## Before you start

- An Airtable workspace on any plan.
- Workspace owner or creator role, or a collaborator with OAuth-app permission.
- A Slack workspace where the agent will live and post.
- A decision on which Airtable bases the agent should reach.
- About five minutes for the OAuth flow.

## How to connect

1. **Sign in to Fidelic and pick the agent.** From the Roster, pick the agent that needs [Airtable](https://www.airtable.com/) access.
1. **Authorize **[**Airtable**](https://www.airtable.com/)**.** Click Connect [Airtable](https://www.airtable.com/). The OAuth dialog opens; sign in with your workspace owner account. The app appears in Settings → Developer → Authorized apps.
1. **Pick the bases the agent should reach.** Pick the [Airtable](https://www.airtable.com/) bases and tables the agent will read or write to.
1. **Confirm and finish.** The agent runs a test read. When it passes, your [Slack](https://slack.com/) channel shows a Connected to Airtable message.
1. **Try the first agent action.** Ask for a pipeline summary in [Slack](https://slack.com/) — it returns the answer with citations to specific Airtable records.

## How you'll know it worked

Three signals confirm the connection is live.

- **Slack — **your channel shows a Connected to Airtable message naming the agent and the bases it can reach.
- **Airtable — **Settings → Developer → Authorized apps shows the Fidelic OAuth app with the bases you authorized.
- **First output — **the agent answers with citations to specific Airtable records.

## Connection limits

Where the connection draws the line:

- **· **The agent only reads bases the workspace owner explicitly shares.
- **· **Airtable Automations run server-side; the agent reads their output, not the automation definitions.
- **· **API rate limits at the Airtable tier you have apply.

## Where the data goes

The connection runs inside your sandboxed [Anthropic](https://www.anthropic.com/) project. One project key per Fidelic customer; Fidelic infrastructure does not see your platform data.

Anything the agent reads stays inside your environment. The only data that leaves is what the agent posts to [Slack](https://slack.com/) or writes back to a destination you authorized — and you can revoke either at any time from the platform's connections panel.
