How Zapier works
Zapier makes it easy to integrate Airtable with SQL Server - no code necessary. See how you can get setup in minutes.
Choose a trigger
A trigger is the event that starts your Zap—like a "New Record" from Airtable.
Add your action
An action happens after the trigger—such as "Create Custom Query" in SQL Server.
You’re connected!
Zapier seamlessly connects Airtable and SQL Server, automating your workflow.
Supported triggers and actions
Zapier helps you create workflows that connect your apps to automate repetitive tasks. A trigger is an event that starts a workflow, and an action is an event a Zap performs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Airtable + SQL Server integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Airtable and SQL Server
How can I trigger actions in Airtable from SQL Server data changes?
You can set up a system where changes in your SQL Server data trigger actions in Airtable by using a middleware service or automation platform. This involves creating an event listener on the SQL Server to detect changes, and then using that event to trigger updates or create records in Airtable through API integration.
Is it possible to automate data syncing between Airtable and SQL Server?
Yes, automating data syncing between Airtable and SQL Server is possible by setting up regular intervals or triggers for data export and import processes. This is done through the API, where you can schedule scripts or use automation tools to perform these actions based on triggers.
Can I update existing records in Airtable when my SQL Server database changes?
Certainly! You can configure your integrations so that any updates within your SQL Server database automatically update corresponding records in Airtable. This can be achieved by mapping fields correspondingly and setting up triggers when changes are detected.
What tools are required to integrate Airtable with SQL Server efficiently?
To efficiently integrate Airtable with SQL Server, you will need access to both their APIs for communication, possibly an integration platform like Zapier, Integromat, or a custom-built server application that handles requests and maintains seamless data flow triggered by specific events.
Do we support creating triggers directly from Airtable for SQL Server updates?
Direct creation of triggers from Airtable for responding to SQL Server updates isn't supported natively. However, using integration services or custom scripts, you can create systems that listen for CRUD operations on Airtable and trigger actions accordingly on the SQL Server.
What should I do if there's a conflict when syncing data between the two platforms?
In case of conflicts during syncing between Airtable and SQL Server, implementing conflict resolution strategies is crucial. These may include hierarchies of authority over which database's change prevails or implementing manual review processes before final commits are made based on conflict-triggered notifications.
Are there limitations on the types of data I can sync between Airtable and SQL server?
There may be limitations depending on data types supported by both platforms’ APIs. We recommend ensuring that only compatible fields (such as text, numbers, dates) are synced unless additional formatting rules or conversions via scripts are applied during the process.
