How to set up the Typeflow Airtable Extension

We released the Typeflow Airtable Extension to help you generate PDFs automatically. We decided to release this product for two reasons:

  • It helps you to generate bulk PDFs in one click.

  • If you handle many automations in the same table, it can be cumbersome to implement as many button as the number of automation for the table. So with the Typeflow Airtable Extension, you can select the automation you want to run and generate the PDFs.

In this documentation, you will learn how to implement the Typeflow Airtable Extension.

  1. Go to the base where you want to install the Typeflow Airtable Extension

  2. Click on Tools (right-side), select Extension and search for Typeflow

  3. Once installed, you will be asked to paste your API key.

  4. If you don't yet have an account or an automation flow, please create an account or an automation flow. Without doing that it's impossible to run the Typeflow Airtable Extension

  5. Create a flow by following this guide

  6. Once the flow is done, go to the bottom of your flow page, and select Airtable Extension

  7. Copy your API key

  8. Go back to your Typeflow Airtable Extension

  9. Paste your API Key

  10. Now, you can choose the table of your choice. Automatically it will retrieve the flow linked the the table chosen.

  11. Pick the flow of your choice

  12. Select the record you want to generate PDFs with

  13. Click the button to generate PDFs in bulk

  14. Wait until your PDFs has been generated

Potential Issue with the Typeflow Airtable Extension

If you can't retrieve flow:

  1. Make sure you created a flow.

  2. Make sure the table you choose has a flow linked to it.

  3. Make sure you choose the right base
