When a new record is created in Airtable, Zapier will automatically add it as a row in your PostgreSQL database. This workflow centralizes data storage, reducing the time spent on manual data migrations and ensuring consistency across tools.
Business Owner
Update Airtable records with PostgreSQL data.
When a new or updated row is detected in PostgreSQL, Zapier will find the corresponding record in Airtable and update its data. This ensures product or project information stays up-to-date across platforms, improving team collaboration.
EngineeringLog Airtable leads into PostgreSQL.
When a new lead record is added in Airtable, Zapier will create a corresponding row in PostgreSQL. This ensures your leads database is always in sync, reducing the risk of data discrepancies and supporting sales analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions about Airtable + PostgreSQL integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Airtable and PostgreSQL
How do I set up an integration between Airtable and PostgreSQL?
You can integrate Airtable with PostgreSQL using a tool like Zapier, which allows you to create automated workflows called "Zaps." First, sign up for a Zapier account or log in if you already have one. Create a new Zap and choose Airtable as the trigger app and PostgreSQL as the action app. Then, select your trigger event in Airtable, such as 'New Record' or 'Updated Record,' and configure your PostgreSQL action, like 'Create Row' or 'Update Row'.
What triggers are available for Airtable in this integration?
In our integration setup for Airtable, you can choose from several triggers including 'New Record,' 'New Record in View,' and 'Updated Record.' These allow you to start an automated workflow whenever specific changes occur in your Airtable base.
Can I update existing rows in PostgreSQL from Airtable?
Yes, by setting up an 'Update Record' trigger in Airtable with a corresponding 'Update Row' action in PostgreSQL in your Zap. This allows any changes made to records in your designated Airtable base to update corresponding rows in your PostgreSQL database.
Does the integration support batch processing of records?
Currently, our integration only supports processing records individually rather than in batches. Each record change in Airtable will trigger its own corresponding action on PostgreSQL.
How do I handle authentication for both apps?
When connecting Airtable and PostgreSQL through our service, you'll need API keys or credentials for each platform. You’ll input these details as part of setting up your integrations within our interface to ensure secure access between both applications.
Are there any limitations on data types supported by this integration?
Both platforms support a wide range of data types; however, it's essential to ensure compatibility when mapping fields between Airtable and PostgreSQL. Issues could arise if there are mismatches between field types across both apps during an integration setup.
Can I automate routine tasks with this integration?
Absolutely! With our solution, you can set routine tasks such as syncing inventory levels or updating CRM information by creating Zaps that trigger automatically based on changes detected in either platform.
