Airtable

ProductivityOAuthAirtable developer docs ↗

Airtable connects through OAuth 2.0 with PKCE. You authorize Modiva from Airtable's own consent screen and pick which bases to grant — Modiva can then read, create, update, delete and bulk-upsert records and read each base's schema through one unified API and MCP server. Airtable access tokens last about an hour; Modiva stores a refresh token and renews access automatically so your connection stays healthy without you reconnecting.

Before you start

An Airtable account.
Creator (or higher) access to the bases you want to connect.

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to Modiva
Log in at modiva.ai and open the Dashboard. You need a Modiva account before you can connect any platform — creating one takes a minute and no credit card is required for the free tier.
The Modiva dashboard — your home for connections, posts and analytics.
2
Open Connections → New connection
In the left sidebar choose Connections, then click New connection. You'll see the full catalogue of platforms grouped by category (Social, Ads and CRM).
The connection picker. Use the search box or category filter to find your platform.
3
Select Airtable
Click the Airtable card. Modiva redirects you to Airtable's official sign-in and permission screen — your password is entered on Airtable, never on Modiva.
Click Connect on the Airtable card to start the secure OAuth flow.
4
Authorize Modiva on Airtable
Review the permissions Modiva is requesting and approve them. If you manage more than one account, page or profile, pick the one you want Modiva to manage.
Airtable's consent screen. Approve the requested scopes to continue.
5
You're connected
Airtable now sends you back to Modiva and the connection appears with a green Connected status. From here it's available to every MCP key and API call in your workspace.
A healthy connection shows a green dot and the connected account name.

Permissions Modiva requests

When you connect Airtable, Modiva asks only for the access it needs to run the tools you use. You can revoke it any time from Airtable or by disconnecting in Modiva.

Read records in the bases you authorize
Create, update and delete records
Read base schemas (tables and fields)
Stay connected by refreshing access tokens

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Where is my Airtable password stored?

Nowhere. You sign in on the provider's own site and Modiva only receives a scoped access token, which is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Modiva never sees your password.

My connection says Expired or Error — what do I do?

Open Connections, find the platform and click Reconnect (or Refresh token). Providers periodically expire tokens or revoke them when you change your password; reconnecting re-runs the consent screen and restores access.

How do I disconnect?

Open Connections, click the Airtable row and choose Disconnect. Modiva deletes the stored token immediately. You can also revoke Modiva from inside Airtable's own app settings.

Why can't Modiva see one of my bases?

Airtable grants access per base: only the bases you selected on the consent screen are visible. Reconnect and add the base, or adjust the grant from your Airtable account's integrations settings.

My token keeps needing refresh — is that a problem?

No. Airtable access tokens last about 60 minutes by design. Modiva stores a refresh token and renews access automatically in the background, so you won't be asked to reconnect unless you revoke access in Airtable.

Can Modiva change my base structure?

No. The connection reads schemas (schema.bases:read) but only writes records — creating or deleting tables and fields isn't exposed. Deleting a record is possible and irreversible, so review agent instructions that delete.
