Airtable is the source side of a Synclify connection. Rows become Webflow CMS items; columns become Webflow fields.

Authorize

Airtable asks which bases to grant access to. Synclify reads the bases, tables, columns, and rows you grant.

Add data source offers the two providers Synclify supports today.

Once authorized, Synclify discovers your bases and tables. They appear in the source step whenever you create a connection.

A connected Airtable account expands into its bases, and each base into its tables.

Preparing a table

Synclify syncs what it finds, but a little structure up front prevents most problems.
1

Give it a unique identifier column

One column whose value is unique per row and doesn’t change: a Slug, a Name, or a dedicated ID column. This becomes the identity field.
2

Match column types to Webflow field types

Synclify groups types into four families — text, number, boolean, and date/time — and refuses to map across families. A text column cannot feed a Webflow number field.
3

Name columns like the Webflow fields

Auto-mapping matches on name. Article TitleArticle Title maps itself. Anything unmatched, you map by hand.
4

Fill the required fields

Rows missing a value for a required Webflow field will fail on write. Webflow’s required fields are shown in the mapping step and cannot be unmapped.
Adding a column to Airtable does not add it to a live connection. Mappings are fixed when the connection is created. To pick up a new column, create an editable draft.

Which bases Synclify can see

Only the ones you granted during authorization. If a base is missing from the source picker, reconnect the Airtable account from Data Sources and widen the grant.

Other sources

Airtable is the supported source today. Google Sheets and Notion are on the roadmap.
