Practical ways you can use Airtable and Amazon S3
Backup Airtable records to Amazon S3
When a new record is added to Airtable, Zapier automatically uploads the record's information as a file to an Amazon S3 bucket. This setup ensures your important Airtable data is securely backed up in a centralized cloud storage, reducing data loss risks and saving time on manual backups.
Business Owner
Store engineering documentation versions in Amazon S3
When a new version of engineering documentation is uploaded into an Amazon S3 bucket, Zapier triggers a new record in Airtable to track metadata like upload dates and version details. This gives engineers a streamlined way to manage and reference documentation changes in a structured self-updating database.
Engineering
Log S3 file uploads in Airtable
Whenever a new file is added to an Amazon S3 bucket, Zapier creates a record in Airtable to track file names, upload timestamps, and associated metadata. This helps IT teams maintain visibility into S3 storage activity and organizes the data for future audits or reference.

Frequently Asked Questions about Airtable + Amazon S3 integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Airtable and Amazon S3
How can I set up an integration between Airtable and Amazon S3?
You can set up the integration by using automation tools like Zapier. In this process, you will create a 'Zap' that acts on triggers from Airtable and carries out actions in Amazon S3, such as uploading files.
What triggers are available when integrating Airtable with Amazon S3?
Triggers in Airtable include new records, updated records, or specific views. When these triggers occur, actions such as uploading a file to Amazon S3 can be initiated.
Are there any specific actions that can be performed in Amazon S3 with this integration?
Yes, you can perform actions like uploading files to a bucket, deleting files from a bucket, or moving files within different buckets upon triggering an event in Airtable.
Do I need any special permissions to integrate Airtable with Amazon S3?
To integrate the two services effectively, you must have access permissions in both Airtable and Amazon S3. You may need API keys and proper access policies configured for your Amazon S3 buckets.
Is it possible to update data in an Airtable record based on actions in Amazon S3?
While the primary flow is often from Airtable to Amazon S3, reverse workflows require custom setups or additional tools because native support for triggering from Amazon S3 back to Airtable isn't generally available.
Can integrations between Airtable and Amazon S3 handle large file uploads?
The ability to handle large file uploads depends largely on the size limits imposed by both platforms and your specific Zapier plan. Ensure your workflow settings account for these limitations before proceeding.
What should I do if my AirTable data doesn't trigger actions in Amazon S3 as expected?
First, check that the trigger conditions in your workflow are correctly set up. Also ensure that API keys and permissions are valid. Reviewing logs or contacting support might help if issues persist.
