2

Authenticate Airtable

Click "Add Connection" and select Airtable from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Airtable's authorization page. Grant Arahi access to your workspaces, databases, pages, and tasks. You select which workspaces the integration can read and write to.

Is the Airtable and Fauna integration free?

Arahi AI includes 100 free actions per month on the Starter plan — enough for most small teams. If your Airtable-to-Fauna workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $29/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.

Is my Airtable data secure when connected to Fauna?

Can I sync data both ways between Airtable and Fauna?

Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Airtable or Fauna. For example, create a workflow where Airtable events update Fauna, and a separate one where Fauna changes sync back to Airtable. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.

No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use Airtable and Fauna, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
