Create a record in Airtable when a payment lands in Square
When a payment lands in Square, 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.
Every step, in order
When it happens in the first app, the step runs in the second, with the client’s own account.
- A payment lands
- A payment completed at the account’s default location (in person, online or on an invoice), checked every 5 minutes; once per payment. The token needs PAYMENTS_READ.
- Create a record
- Add one row to a table. Field names must match the table’s columns.

Airtable
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.
developer.squareup.com → the client’s application (their own account) → Credentials → Production access token. A personal access token for the client’s own account needs no Square review.
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:
- Connect the client’s Square, for “A payment lands”
- Connect the client’s Airtable, for “Create a record”
- Fill in Airtable: Base ID (From the base’s URL: airtable.com/appXXXX/…)
- Fill in Airtable: Table (For example Leads)
- Match Airtable’s fields to the client’s own: Amount in cents, Currency, Total in cents, Status
