Airtable integration

Airtable sits between a spreadsheet and a database. Operations teams use it as a lightweight system of record for things that do not deserve a full application: supplier onboarding workflows, content production trackers, returns triage, campaign briefs. The API is generous, the rate limits are not, and views can mask the shape of the underlying data in ways integrations need to handle carefully.

Patchworks integrates Airtable via its REST API. Typical flows push data into Airtable from an ERP, ecommerce platform or marketing tool so operations teams can act on it in the surface they already use, and pull updates back out so changes do not stay trapped in a side system.

Most Airtable integrations earn their keep by closing the loop between an operations team's spreadsheet and the systems that fulfil what the spreadsheet promises.
