Airtable: from Zapier to n8n
Zapier stores Airtable fields by field id. The converter calls the Airtable API with the same base, table and field ids, so no field mapping is lost.
n8n node: Airtable · Credential to connect: Airtable personal access token
Actions
| Zapier action | In n8n | What carries over |
|---|---|---|
| Create Record | HTTP Request → Airtable API create | Same base, table and field ids, with typecast on as Zapier did. |
| Update Record | HTTP Request → Airtable API update | Same record id from the earlier step. |
| Find Record | Airtable → Search | Added as an Airtable node with the Zap's settings in its notes. |
Triggers
New Record and New or Updated Record: use the n8n Airtable Trigger on the same table.
Check after converting
- Create an Airtable personal access token with access to the base.
- Attachments appended in Zapier must be set on the node.
