Setting up your Airtable integration in SourceWhale is very simple, please follow these steps:
Step 1
Go to your profile in the bottom left-hand corner of SourceWhale and click on your initials or image > Select Integrations from the dropdown box > Search for Airtable in the search bar.
Step 2
To enable the Airtable integration, visit the Personal Access Tokens page, give access to the following scopes:
data.records:read
data.records:write
data.recordComments:read

Also give access to the base that you would like SourceWhale to integrate with. Click create token, then copy and paste the token into the field.
