Generate a Personal Access Token
Create a Personal Access Token in the Airtable Builder Hub to authenticate API requests.
Open the Builder Hub
Navigate to the Airtable Builder Hub where Personal Access Tokens are managed.
- Sign in to your Airtable account
- Click your account profile icon in the top-right corner
- Select Builder Hub from the dropdown menu
Navigate to Personal Access Tokens
Find the Personal Access Tokens section in the Builder Hub.
- In the left sidebar, locate the Developers section
- Click Personal access tokens
Create a new token
Generate a new token with the required permissions.
- Click Create new token
- Enter a descriptive name for the token (e.g., StackOne Integration)
Configure scopes
Add the scopes your integration requires. Select the minimum scopes needed for your use case.
- Click + Add a scope to add each required scope
- user.email:read — Required for connection verification
- data.records:read — View record data
- data.records:write — Create, edit, and delete records
- schema.bases:read — View base structure (tables, fields)
- schema.bases:write — Modify base structure
- data.recordComments:read — View record comments
- data.recordComments:write — Create, edit, and delete comments
- webhook:manage — Create and manage webhooks
- workspacesAndBases:read — View workspace and base collaborators
Select base access
Choose which bases the token can access.
- Under Access, click + Add a base to grant access to specific bases
- Alternatively, select All current and future bases in all current and future workspaces for full access
- Restricting access to specific bases is recommended for security
Create and copy the token
Finalize the token creation and securely store it.
- Click Create token to generate the token
- Important: Copy the token immediately and store it securely. The token is only displayed once and cannot be retrieved again.
SCIM API Token for User and Group Sync (Optional)
The unified user and group actions read Airtable’s SCIM API, which requires its own token — separate from the Personal Access Token above.
Check the requirements
SCIM access is only available on qualifying Airtable plans with single sign-on configured.
- Requires a Business, Enterprise, or Enterprise Scale plan
- SAML SSO must be enabled for your organization
- Leave the SCIM API Token field blank if you do not need user and group sync — all other actions work without it
Generate the SCIM token
Create a token with the SCIM scope as an Enterprise admin.
- Sign in as an Enterprise admin and open airtable.com/create/tokens
- Create a token with the enterprise.scim.usersAndGroups:manage scope
- Copy the token and paste it into the SCIM API Token field when connecting the account
- Refer to the Airtable SCIM overview for more details
