Frequently Asked Questions
Does Salesforce integrate directly with Airtable? ▼
Yes, Salesforce has a native integration with Airtable. It is available directly within the Salesforce app marketplace.
Is the connection between Salesforce and Airtable secure? ▼
Yes. This integration typically uses OAuth 2.0, meaning you grant permission via a secure login window. You do not need to share your raw password, and you can revoke access at any time from your Salesforce security settings.
Is the sync one-way or two-way? ▼
This is typically a one-way sync: Salesforce → Airtable. Changes in Airtable do not sync back to Salesforce.
Will existing data in Salesforce sync to Airtable? ▼
Usually, no. Most native integrations are "forward-looking," meaning they only sync data created or updated *after* you activate the connection. To move historical data, you will likely need to perform a one-time CSV export/import manually.
