Create Records - Learn WorkflowDog

The Create Records action adds a list of records to one Airtable table. It automatically partitions the work into Airtable’s 10-record API batches, so the input list can contain more than ten records.

Inputs

Input	Type	Required	Description
Third-party account	Airtable account	Yes	Account with record-write access.
Base ID	String	Yes	Airtable base ID.
Table Name or ID	String	Yes	Table name or Airtable table ID.
Records	List of objects	Yes	At least one record of field-name/value pairs.
Type Cast?	Boolean	No	Let Airtable convert values to field types. Defaults to on.

File-valued fields are uploaded after each batch’s records are created.

Outputs

Created Records contains one item per input record, in batch order:

Field	Type	Description
Record ID	String	ID assigned by Airtable.
Fields	Object	Created fields, including uploaded attachment data.

A failure in a later batch does not undo records already created by earlier API requests.

Example

For a contact import, first normalize the source data into a list of Airtable field-name/value objects and connect that list to Records. After creation, repeat over Created Records and store each Record ID wherever the source contact is tracked.
