Hi everyone,
I am a non-technical (aspiring) founder attempting to learn how to use Foundry.
I am hoping to connect my Airtable instance to Foundry. Has anyone done this before? What is the best way to do it? Any guidance would be really helpful Thank you!
Hi @itsmechase ! Are you looking to do any data pipelining down the road with your airtable data? If so, there are two ways you can connect your Airtable instance to Foundry:
For 1, you can open up the Pipeline Builder application
Search up Airtable and select Airtable under “Connect to a new source…”
Select “Import source and configure”
You will get a simplified (only mandatory fields) to configure your Airtable source. If you need more fields to configure, you should go to Data Connection (but the steps are very similar)
Once you’ve created your source, you can sync the datasets you want with the view below (you’ll see the datasets on the left hand side)
Again, for anything more complex, the data connection app is also there for your needs which follows a similar flow to the above, but as a first step, go to the Data Connection App first, and click New source or connect to external system and select Airtable:
You can read more about how to set up a source in data connection in our documentation too: https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/data-connection/set-up-source/
