This tutorial shows how to connect a Replit project to Airtable so you can store, retrieve, and manage structured data for your app.
Notes:
- You need an Airtable account with at least one base created before starting.
- Airtable API keys should be stored securely in the Replit Secrets pane.
- The Agent will handle installing the Airtable client and setting up API requests.
- Sign in at replit.com and open your project, or click + Create Something New to start a new one.
- In the Agent prompt field, describe your app and mention Airtable directly - for example: Build a client tracker that stores client names, project status, and notes in Airtable and allows adding new records from a web form. Click the Arrow button to run.
- The Agent generates your project files, installs the Airtable client, and connects your app to Airtable. Wait for the setup to complete.
- When prompted, open the Secrets pane and add your Airtable API key and base ID. Save your changes.
- Click Run to launch your app. In the Preview tab, test adding a new client record and confirm it appears in your Airtable base.
