Notes

Airtable uses app-prefixed base IDs (appXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) and rec-prefixed record IDs. Table names and table IDs can be used interchangeably. Field types include singleLineText, multilineText, singleSelect, multipleSelect, singleCollaborator, and many others. Filter formulas use Airtable’s formula syntax with field names in curly braces like =‘Done’. The typecast option enables automatic data conversion from strings to appropriate field types. Pagination is supported with pageSize (max 100) and offset parameters. Views can filter and sort records according to predefined configurations. All field names are case-sensitive and must match exactly as defined in the base schema.
