What Are Airtable Integrations?

Airtable Integrations

I’ll be honest: Airtable’s integrations are sub-par compared to other online tools.

Airtables’ 30-ish integrations don’t stand a chance against the hundreds of integrations offered by other online project management tools such as Monday.com, Asana, or Trello.

However, their list of internal integrations includes some pretty big names.

Simply integrate your Airtable tables with project management tools like Trello, Asana, Basecamp, and Jira, or sync your Evernote, Dropbox, or Google Drive account to share files.

In terms of staying up to date with your team, Airtable can easily connect to your Slack workspace, Gmail email account, or Twilio.

You can link your Google or Outlook Calendar, Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn business profile or create captivating forms using Jotform or Typeform.

It is disappointing that, in terms of CRMs, you can only connect with SalesForce.

However, integrations with the payment processing app Stripe, CMS platform WordPress, YouTube, and customer service typhoon Zendesk are super handy.

So, all in all, although limited, there’s a good range of software mixed in there to help you enhance the functionality of Airtable.

Plus, you can connect your account with Zapier, allowing you to connect with thousands more applications and software!
