• Select Airtable as the trigger application.

• Connect your Airtable account by clicking on Add New Connection.

After connecting, select the base and table where you will capture the new records. Make sure to create a column named Created in your Airtable schema to capture the timestamp of the new record. This is crucial for the integration to work correctly.

3. Adding Action to Insert MySQL Row

Now that your trigger is set, it’s time to add the action that will insert a row into your MySQL database using Pabbly Connect. Select MySQL as your action application and choose Insert Row as the action event.

• Click on Save and Send Test Request to test the integration.

After mapping, click on the Save and Send Test Request button. If everything is set correctly, you will see a success message indicating that the data has been inserted into your MySQL database.
