How the Airtable integration works
The Airtable integration connects your Dench AI CRM directly to Airtable, so agents can read and act on your Airtable data as part of everyday work — answering questions in chat, keeping your CRM in sync, and running automations without anyone copying data between tools.
26 actions are available for agents to invoke on your behalf, and 6 triggers can start a Dench automation the moment something changes in Airtable. Every call runs through Airtable's own authorization, scoped to the account you connect.
