Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running. Google Sheets **16** triggers Google Sheets **46** actions Airtable **2** triggers Airtable **14** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Google Sheets and Airtable to do together? Give your AI client this address. `https://mcp.apiant.ai` One connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser. ### Set it up in your client ### Claude Code Run this in the directory you want to work in. `claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai` Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens. [Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp/claude-code) ### Claude, web and desktop Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Cursor Add the address to your MCP configuration as a server URL. Cursor signs you in in your browser. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Zed Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app Open Settings, then MCP servers, then Add server, and choose Streamable HTTP. From the terminal, Codex takes the address with its own add command and then signs you in. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Any other MCP client Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) Airtable holds the structured record and Google Sheets is where finance, ops and outside collaborators actually look. Connecting them means a new or changed Airtable record can write or refresh the matching row in a sheet, and rows added or edited in Google Sheets can create or update the record in Airtable. Comments, lookups and row formatting can be part of the same run.

Yes. Use the Upsert Row or Update Spreadsheet Row action in Google Sheets and match on a key column such as a deal or item ID, so an existing row is overwritten and a new row is only appended when no match is found. ### ### What happens when someone edits a row directly in Google Sheets? The Spreadsheet Row Changed and New Rows triggers pick that up, and you can follow them with Create Record or Create or Update Record in Airtable. The Google Sheets triggers are polled on a schedule, so edits are picked up on the next check rather than the instant they happen. ### ### What can start an automation from Google Sheets? Any of Google Sheets's 16 triggers in the catalog, including New Rows, Spreadsheet Row Changed, Aggregate Metric Changed and Cell Range Values Changed. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Airtable when something happens in Google Sheets? Any of Airtable's 14 actions, including Create or Update Record, Create Record, Create Base and Create Table. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Airtable to Google Sheets? Yes. When something happens in Airtable, your agent can act in Google Sheets too. This page covers both directions: Airtable's triggers and Google Sheets's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Google Sheets or Airtable? No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. ### ### Can my AI client use Google Sheets and Airtable without building an automation? Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both. ### ### What happens when something fails? Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Is there a free plan? Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
