Create a record in Airtable when a conversation is closed (archived) in Front

When a conversation is closed (archived) in Front, create a record in Airtable.

Start the 14-day trial, then find it under Templates → Library. It installs into the client you choose, switched off, with its checklist.

Steps
1
Client fills in
2
Accounts

Starts
A conversation is closed (archived) in Front, within 5 minutes

Every step, in order

When it happens in the first app, the step runs in the second, with the client’s own account.

A conversation is closed (archived)
A conversation archived, checked every 5 minutes.
Create a record
Add one row to a table. Field names must match the table’s columns.
  1. Starts whenA conversation is closed (archived)
  2. App stepCreate a record

What each client fills in

Airtable: Base ID
From the base’s URL: airtable.com/appXXXX/…
Airtable: Table
For example Leads

The accounts it needs

Each is the client’s own, stored encrypted and never copied between clients. Until one is added the client’s checklist shows it, and nothing runs.

  • Front

    In the client’s Front: Settings → Developers → API tokens → Create API token with the Shared resources namespace and the Read and Write permissions (Write for the contact step, Read for the triggers, which list events).

  • Airtable

    airtable.com/create/tokens → Create token → scopes data.records:write and data.records:read (lookups and the triggers) → add the client’s base → copy the token.

After you install it

It lands switched off. The client’s checklist holds exactly this:

  1. Connect the client’s Front, for “A conversation is closed (archived)”
  2. Connect the client’s Airtable, for “Create a record”
  3. Fill in Airtable: Base ID (From the base’s URL: airtable.com/appXXXX/…)
  4. Fill in Airtable: Table (For example Leads)
  5. Match Airtable’s fields to the client’s own: Subject, Status, From their address, When Unix time

Thrum is cooking.

Get early access and you’ll be among the first in. Early members get a launch perk.
