What Well does with your Airtable connection

Connect

Connect Airtable over OAuth (MCP DCR): Well registers a client through Airtable's OAuth Dynamic Client Registration and you approve on Airtable's side, so the password never reaches Well; Well holds only a scoped token it can refresh.

Sync

Well brings task, assignee, and project in from Airtable through live reads, backed by a periodic reconciliation pass. The first sync backfills history in the background and the connection stays live after.

Enrich

Well resolves each Airtable entity into work item, team member, and workspace context, assigns categories, and links every record to an audit trail across the rest of your connected tools.

Available

Your data from Airtable lands in the workspace as work item, team member, and workspace context you can search, chart, and automate.

Questions Airtable unlocks

Connect Airtable in three steps

  1. 01

    Authorise Airtable via MCP

    From Well's Connections panel, search for Airtable and click Connect. Well discovers Airtable's MCP OAuth metadata from its .well-known endpoint, registers a client via Dynamic Client Registration, and routes you through the authorize prompt on Airtable's side. No client credentials to paste.

  2. 02

    Map your entities

    Well's MCP client discovers task, assignee, and project from Airtable that Airtable's MCP server exposes and brings them into your workspace using the canonical mappings defined in Well's data-views layer.

    Use the data

    Ask questions in conversation, build records tables, or let agents act on Airtable records. Because Airtable ships through MCP, Well treats every entity it exposes as queryable graph state alongside the rest of your connected tools.

    • First syncstarts as soon as connect completes

MCP handshake typically completes under a minute on warm connections. Resource enumeration runs immediately after; full backfill of historical Airtable records happens in the background.

How Airtable stays secure with Well

Well connects to Airtable's MCP server via the Model Context Protocol. The MCP server itself handles credential issuance through OAuth Dynamic Client Registration; Well never sees a long-lived Airtable secret. Tokens are scoped to the task, assignee, and project Airtable exposes and refreshed server-side. Reads only, Well cannot modify or delete Airtable records.

Frequently asked questions about Airtable and Well

How do I connect Airtable to Well, and how long does it take?

From Well, open Connections, find Airtable, and click Connect. Well discovers the OAuth metadata from Airtable's MCP server, registers a client on the fly via Dynamic Client Registration, and walks you through the authorize prompt on Airtable's side. No client_id or client_secret to paste; the handshake takes roughly a minute.

What does Well pull into the workspace from Airtable?

Well brings in task, assignee, and project from Airtable and reshapes each entity into your workspace: task becomes work item; assignee becomes team member. Every record arrives with the source identifier preserved, so Airtable stays the source of truth while Well lets you query the data alongside the rest of your stack.

How does Well track Airtable status changes that signal customer-facing risk?

Status transitions on Airtable items linked to customer or deal entities surface as workspace events. A task slipping past its due date on a top-tier customer's project, a ticket reopening, a milestone marked at risk; each shows up on the relevant customer page so account owners see the signal before the customer raises it.

How does Well match a task from Airtable to a work item in my workspace?

Each Airtable task is scored against the candidate work items in your workspace on identifier overlap, amount or quantity match, date proximity, and counterparty resolution. Matches above the auto-link confidence threshold flow through cleanly; below the threshold they queue for a one-click human review, with the most likely work item prefilled and the Airtable source attached.

How often does Airtable sync with Well, and what triggers a refresh?

Well combines live Airtable events with periodic reconciliation reads of task, assignee, and project. New rows appear within seconds when Airtable pushes them; periodic reads catch anything a push missed. The first connect backfills history from Airtable in the background.

Can I disconnect Airtable and what happens to the data Well already pulled?

Open Connections > Airtable in Well and click Disconnect. Well calls Airtable's token revocation endpoint and stops calling Airtable immediately on its side; provider-side propagation to Airtable's admin panel varies by provider. The task, assignee, and project Well already synced stay in your workspace by default; ask Support to purge them if your compliance flow requires it.

How does Well protect what it pulls in from Airtable?

The Airtable records Well holds are encrypted at rest and handled in line with GDPR. See /privacy for the current data-handling policy.
