- 1
Add the Airtable Trigger node
Start with a
Airtable Triggernode — connect your Airtable personal access token, then choose theBaseandTableto watch for new records. This fires the workflow the moment a new record arrives. - 2
Map the fields with a Set node
Add a
Setnode after the trigger to shape the data cleanly. Create fields: the fields you need, e.g.nameto{{ $json.fields.Name }}andemailto{{ $json.fields.Email }}. This turns the raw payload into tidy values your destination can use. - 3
Send it to Slack
Add a
Slacknode set to operationSend Message. Connect your Slack workspace, choose theChannel, and set the messageTextto a summary built from the Set-node fields, e.g.New record: {{ $json.email }}. - 4
Activate and test

Frequently asked questions
Do I need any coding skills to set this up?
No. n8n is a visual, drag-and-drop tool. You connect your Airtable and Slack accounts, point the nodes at the right form/sheet/channel, map the fields, and activate. No code required.
Can I send each record to more than one place at once?
Absolutely. Branch the workflow after the Set node: connect it to multiple destination nodes so the same record lands in Slack and, say, Slack or a spreadsheet simultaneously.
