# How to Add Airtable as Data Output

{% hint style="info" %}
Airtable is a spreadsheet-database hybrid, with the features of a database but applied to a spreadsheet. The fields in an Airtable table are similar to cells in a spreadsheet, but have types such as 'checkbox', 'phone number', and 'drop-down list', and can reference file attachments like images.
{% endhint %}

### Step 1: Create your Base

* Go to your Airtable account and add a Workspace
* Add a Base to your Workspace
* Name your Table and your Columns (snake\_case recommended)

### Step 2: Get your Base ID

* Go to your Base
* Click on Help on the top right corner of Airtable's site
* Go to "API documentation"
* Get your Base ID, you'll need it for the next step!

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also find your Base ID as part of the URL of your workspace, it's the part that starts with "app...."
{% endhint %}

### Step 4: Create a New Data Output

* On the Left Sidebar of the builder, go to the "All" Tab
* Create a new Data Output, on the Data Outputs section, at the bottom of the tab

* This will open the Options Tab on the Right Sidebar
* Choose "Airtable" from the Output Selector
* Check the "Manual Trigger Only" box below the selector
* You can check the "Use Mappings" box if you need the names of the columns to be different from the keys on the builder.
* Checking the "Exclude Unmapped Keys" box is recommended if you use mappings
* Copy and paste your Base ID (the one you saved earlier) and the name of your Table

* Map the keys to their corresponding column names on the Airtable Table
