Connect an Airtable base, map record fields to a template, and generate files when records are created or updated.
| Template | Record | Status | Generated file |
|---|---|---|---|
| Client report | Acme Co. | Ready | report.pdf |
| Certificate | Priya Shah | Draft | Empty |
| Social image | Launch post | Ready | launch.webp |
Turn records from your Airtable bases into generated documents, images, and files without moving the data into another system.
Authorize Automette with OAuth, then pick the Airtable base and table for the workflow.
Use an existing Automette template or create one for the document, image, or visual you want to generate.
Match Airtable fields to template variables, then generate from new records or updated records.
Attach the generated file back to Airtable, write a URL to a field, or send a webhook.
A template can use text, dates, numbers, images, and linked-record data. Airtable fields become the input values.
For update-based workflows, use a dedicated status field such as Ready. That keeps generation controlled while records are still being edited.
{{customer_name}}{{date}}{{amount}}{{image}}Trigger conditionOutput attachment or URLSave the generated document or visual back to an Airtable attachment field.
Write the generated file URL to a text or URL field for use in Airtable views and automations.
Notify another system after generation completes, including the generated file URL.
Review every generation inside Automette, including status, template, and credit usage.
Start with one table, one template, and a status field. Expand the workflow once the output looks right.
