Airtable

Docs & evidenceTwo-way syncAPI key

Most teams arrive with a vendor base already in Airtable, and turning it off on day one is not realistic. Urengi keeps the two in sync while you migrate, so nobody has to maintain both by hand during the changeover.

What the Airtable integration does

Three jobs for the months when both systems are live.

The base stays current

Tier, review status and next review date are written back to the base, so the spreadsheet everyone still opens is not quietly wrong.

Existing rows become reviews

Your current vendor list imports as intakes with owners attached, rather than as a CSV somebody re-keys over a weekend.

One direction wins per field

You choose which system owns each field. Nothing round-trips, so the two cannot fight over a value in the background.

Exactly what Urengi can see

Three scopes on the single base you select. A personal access token cannot reach the others.

Urengi reads

  • Table and field names in the selected base
  • Records in the vendor table
  • Collaborator names and emails

Urengi writes

  • Tier and review-status fields
  • Next review date
  • Rows for vendors created in Urengi

Urengi never touches

  • Any base you did not select
  • Attachments or their contents
  • Automations, interfaces or webhooks
  • Anything after you revoke the token

Connect it in four steps

One authorisation, one field mapping, and a test sync you run yourself.

01

Authorise the connection

Open Airtable from this page and approve the scopes listed above — OAuth in a browser tab, or a scoped API key you paste. An admin approves them once.

02

Choose what syncs

Pick the projects, spaces or accounts Urengi should watch. Narrow is fine to start with; widening it later does not re-authorise anything.

03

Map your fields

Match owners, cost centres and tiers to what Urengi already tracks. Defaults arrive pre-filled from the first sync, so most teams change nothing.

04

Run a test sync

Pull one record and check it landed on the right review. The audit entry confirms the mapping before a real vendor is touched.

Your token, your rules.

Urengi stores the Airtable token encrypted at rest under a per-tenant key and never replays it outside the scopes you approved. Revoke the app in Airtable and every Urengi write stops within seconds the audit log keeps the history, the connection simply ends.
