## Add to Anything project

  <Step title="Add your API key">
    1. Paste your Airtable API key into the "AIRTABLE\_TOKEN" field
    2. Add your Base ID to the "AIRTABLE\_BASE\_ID" field
    3. Add your Table ID to the "AIRTABLE\_TABLE\_ID" field

    <Tip>
      Need a new token? Generate one in your Airtable account settings.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use it">
    You can now use prompts with the integration to manage your Airtable data.

    Some examples:

    * `Create a new record in my Airtable base with /Airtable`
    * `Fetch data from my Products table using /Airtable`
    * `Update customer information with /Airtable`

    <Warning>
      The API limits how often your app can fetch data. If your app loads the same data often, ask the agent to save it locally so it doesn't re-fetch every time.
    </Warning>

    Example prompt for optimization:

    ```
    When using /Airtable, save the data so my app doesn't have to fetch it again
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Your Airtable integration is now ready! Use the `/Airtable` command in chat to manage your data.
