📝 Step-by-Step Tutorial

1. Install the On2Air Backups Airtable Extension OR Use App.On2Air.com

💡

You have 2 options to set up your Airtable backups with On2Air. 1. Install the On2Air Backups Extension inside your Airtable base(s) to create the backup automation. 2. Use the On2Air web app at app.on2air.com If you need to backup multiple Airtable bases, it’s best to use app.on2air.com. You can start at Step 2 if you use app.on2air.com

First, open your Airtable base and click Extensions

⚙

Install the Extension

Click Add an extension

Type On2Air in the search box and choose On2Air Backups

Click Add Extension to add it to your Airtable base

You’ll now click Create New Account to create an On2Air account. You’ll go through the account creation process.

If you’ve ever added On2Air Backups to other bases in your Airtable workspace, Select your On2Air account.

2. Connect Your Airtable Account

Now, you’ll need to connect your Airtable account via OAuth

Click the Configure Airtable API button

Go through the OAuth connection process

You’ll see an important message about being sure to choose All current and future bases in all current and future workspaces in the following OAuth settings window.

Click Connect to Airtable

Next, you’ll see a page to authorize On2Air to connect to Airtable

IMPORTANT: Click Add a base FIRST

For best results, choose All current and future bases in all current and future workspaces.

While you can choose individuals bases or workspaces, you will need to continually create OAuth connection authentications to On2Air if you ever want to use more than a single workspace, base, or all bases in your Airtable workspace.
