Why teams connect Affinity and Airtable

Treat Affinity like part of your database: its records live in Airtable as real tables, and writes in either place sync to the other in seconds.

Product and engineering teams constantly need CRM data, and the CRM API is a poor way to get it: rate limits, pagination, custom objects, and integration code that breaks when an admin renames a field. What they actually want is the data in Airtable, where it can be queried and joined like everything else.

Stacksync mirrors Field Values, Notes, Interactions, Reminders from Affinity into Records, Fields, Views, Linked records in Airtable with real-time, bi-directional sync. Read CRM records with plain queries; write updates from your application and they appear in Affinity with validation intact. Go-to-market teams keep working in the CRM, engineers keep working in the database, and neither has to think about the other.

Common use cases

  • Mirror deal-flow lists into a warehouse or BI tool for pipeline and portfolio reporting.
  • Push enrichment data computed elsewhere into Affinity field values on list entries.
  • Write cleaned records edited in Airtable back to the source system of record, keeping both sides consistent in near real time.
  • Use Airtable as a lightweight front end for product catalogs or inventory stored in an ERP or warehouse database.

Product events onto CRM records

Signup, usage, or lifecycle changes written to Airtable sync onto the matching records in Affinity, giving go-to-market teams live product context.

Internal tools without API code

Back-office apps read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Affinity API, limits, and retries.

Trigger workflows from CRM changes

Field and stage updates in Affinity arrive as row changes in Airtable, ready to drive jobs and notifications.

What you can sync between Affinity and Airtable

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Affinity objects Airtable objects
Field Values Custom field data, either global or scoped to a list, mapped field-by-field in syncs. Linked records Cross-table references that carry relationships between synced tables.
Notes Meeting and call notes synced for record-keeping in other systems. Attachments File fields exposed as expiring URLs that syncs can mirror to other systems.
Interactions Automatically captured emails and meetings, read for activity reporting. Collaborators User fields useful for mapping record ownership to accounts in a CRM or database.
Reminders Follow-up tasks associated with people and organizations. Bases Top-level containers; each base has its own API endpoint and schema.
Lists Pipelines (deal flow, fundraising, portfolio) that structure most Affinity data; syncs usually target a specific list. Tables Map to sync tables; schema is readable through the base metadata endpoints.
List Entries The membership of a person, organization, or opportunity on a list, carrying its list-specific fields. Records The row-level unit created, updated, and deleted during syncs, identified by rec-prefixed IDs.
