How to connect and sync your chat data to Airtable.

Airtable Integration

Connect ExtractDB to your Airtable account and export AI chat tables as new records in your bases — without copy-paste.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  1. An active Airtable account.
  2. The ExtractDB extension installed on your browser.
  3. An active ExtractDB license (Airtable is a paid integration).

Connection Steps

Get your Personal Access Token (PAT)

  1. Go to your Airtable Builder Hub.
  2. Click on Create new token.
  3. Give your token a name (e.g., "ExtractDB").
  4. Under Scopes, add the following permissions:
    • data.records:read
    • data.records:write
    • schema.bases:read
  5. Under Access, select the bases you want to connect (or choose "All current and future bases" for easier management).
  6. Click Create token and copy the generated token string.

Configure ExtractDB

  1. Open the ExtractDB extension popup.
  2. Navigate to the Integrations tab.
  3. Select Airtable.
  4. Paste your Personal Access Token into the input field.
  5. Click Connect.

Verify Connection

Once connected, you should see a success message. You can now:

  • Browse your Bases and Tables directly from the extension.
  • Configure field mappings for your exports.

Exporting data

Click Export on a chat message

  1. Open a supported AI chat and get a structured response (table, headings with lists, or nested headings).
  2. Click the ExtractDB button next to the message's Copy button.

Select the detected table

  1. In the export modal, select the table structure from the content tree.
  2. Choose Airtable from the destination dropdown.

Pick base and table

  1. Select the Base you want to write to.
  2. Select the Table within that base.
  3. ExtractDB loads your table fields automatically.

Map fields and export

  1. Review the auto-mapped fields — adjust any mismatches manually.
  2. Each source field maps to a column in your Airtable table.
  3. Click Export to create one new record per row.

Features

  • Record creation: Each exported row becomes a new Airtable record.
  • Smart mapping: Source field names are matched to your table columns automatically.
  • Batch export: Export multiple rows from a single chat message in one click.
  • Base browsing: List your bases and tables directly from the export modal.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Token: Ensure you copied the entire token string and that the token hasn't expired or been revoked.
  • Missing Permissions: If you can't see your bases or write data, verify that the token has data.records:write and schema.bases:read scopes.
  • Base Access: If a specific base isn't showing up, check if the token was granted access to that specific base.

Note: We prioritize your security. Your Personal Access Token is stored locally on your device and is never sent to our servers except to communicate directly with Airtable's API.
