Airtable

Overview

Connect your Airtable bases directly to Lumis and turn structured data into visual insights instantly. Whether you're tracking projects, managing inventory, or organizing customer data, Lumis reads your Airtable schema and generates optimal visualizations automatically. Changes made in Airtable appear in your dashboards within seconds.

How it works

Authenticate with your Airtable account and select which bases to connect. Lumis detects your tables, views, and field types, then suggests relevant chart configurations. Link multiple tables to create comprehensive dashboards that update as your team edits records. Set refresh intervals or enable real-time sync for mission-critical views.

Configure - implementation details

The Airtable connector uses webhooks for instant updates and polling fallback for bases without webhook access. Connection pooling ensures efficient API usage while respecting rate limits.

javascript// Airtable real-time sync
class AirtableConnector {
  constructor(apiKey, baseId) {
    this.base = new Airtable({apiKey}).base(baseId);
    this.pollingInterval = 30000;
  }
  
  async syncTable(tableName) {
    const records = await this.base(tableName)
      .select({view: 'Grid view'})
      .all();
    return records.map(r => r.fields);
  }
}

Transform your Airtable bases into live dashboards with automatic syncing and AI-powered chart recommendations.
