Connect Airtable to ECA
Give ECA governed access to Airtable’s 46 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add Airtable to ECA in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in ECA then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Approve Airtable in Runlayer
Add Airtable from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.
- 2
Connect ECA to Runlayer
Users add the Runlayer Plugin to ECA by following Runlayer’s setup guide. ECA reaches Airtable’s 46 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.
ECA setup guide - 3
Sign in to Airtable
Each user signs in to Airtable with OAuth. Runlayer keeps the tokens out of the client’s configuration.
- 4
Use Airtable from ECA
Airtable’s approved tools appear in ECA. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.
Tools
46 Airtable tools in ECA
Runlayer policy decides which of these ECA users can call. 6 read data only and 1 can change or delete data.
Analyze table
Run statistical operations (count, sum, average, min, max, etc.) on an Airtable table, optionally grouped by columns and filtered.
Create automation
Creates and validates one automation in a base: a trigger plus ordered nodes — action nodes, repeatingGroup (run inner nodes once per item), and conditionalGroup (if/else-if/else branches).
Create base
Creates a new Airtable base with the specified tables and fields.
Create field
Creates a new field in an existing Airtable table.
Create interface
Creates a new interface within a base.
Create page
Creates a new page.
Create record comment
Creates a comment on a specific Airtable record.
Create records for table
Creates new records in an Airtable table.
Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in ECA
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what ECA exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every Airtable call from ECA passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, ECA as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for ECA yet, so control happens at the gateway.
