Integrate the Airtable API.Caddi writes and runs the integration for you.
Airtable has a REST API. Self-serve for any Airtable user on all plans, but monthly API call caps depend on plan (Free: 1,000 calls/workspace/month; Team: 100,000/month; Business and Enterprise: unlimited).
- 99%of agent runs complete successfully
- ~45 minon average to build your first agent
- 1M+back-office tasks completed
The connection is a project before it does anything.
Before the first record moves: an app registration, credentials, token refresh, and somewhere to host and monitor the code. 5 requests/second per base and 50 requests/second across all personal-access-token traffic per user or service account, with a 30-second wait after a 429.
Register an app, store Airtable credentials, refresh tokens and code around the rate limits.
Connect your Airtable account once. Caddi holds the connection.
The job doesn't stop at Airtable.
An intake, a filing or a client update also runs through email, documents and the other systems your team works in. The Airtable API only reaches Airtable.
Each extra system is another API, another set of credentials, another integration to own.
One automation runs across every tool the job touches, each through its API.
Someone has to own the code.
API versions change, fields get added and your process moves.
A developer patches and redeploys the integration each time.
The person who does the work updates it by showing or describing the change. Every automation is reviewed before it runs in production, and every run is logged.

When to build the Airtable integration in-house
When you have engineers and the integration is your product, or you need one narrow sync between two systems and someone to own it. When the goal is getting Airtable work off someone's desk, the build is the slow part, and Caddi does it for you.
What teams usually want the Airtable API for
Inbound request to base row
Caddi turns inbound request emails or form submissions into structured Airtable rows with the right linked records and owner.
CRM ↔ Airtable sync
Caddi keeps the right slice of CRM data mirrored into Airtable for ops dashboards and writes back any updates to the source system.
Status notifications
When an Airtable row changes state, Caddi notifies the right person in Slack or Teams with full context from upstream systems.

Airtable API questions
Does Airtable have an API?
Yes. Airtable has a REST API, authenticated with Personal access token or OAuth 2.0 (for third-party integrations). The official documentation is at https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/introduction.
How do I get access to the Airtable API?
Self-serve for any Airtable user on all plans, but monthly API call caps depend on plan (Free: 1,000 calls/workspace/month; Team: 100,000/month; Business and Enterprise: unlimited).
Does the Airtable API have rate limits?
5 requests/second per base and 50 requests/second across all personal-access-token traffic per user or service account, with a 30-second wait after a 429.
Can I connect Airtable to my other tools without writing code against its API?
Yes. With Caddi you show the Airtable task once, the way you'd train a new hire, and Caddi builds it as verified code that runs across Airtable and the other tools the job touches. Steps that need a person's judgment are handed to Copilot or Claude, and Caddi monitors those too.
Do I need a developer to automate Airtable with Caddi?
No. There is no integration code for you to write or maintain. Every automation Caddi builds for Airtable is reviewed before it runs in production, and every run is logged.
