When you add a new product row to your Airtable product database and mark it as 'Ready to Launch', Make automatically posts a formatted announcement to your Microsoft Teams channel — including the product name, price, key selling points, and launch date. Every store associate sees the news at the same time, with the details they need to talk about it with customers.

See PlansAirtable is a flexible workspace that combines the simplicity of a spreadsheet with the power of a database, letting you organize, track, and automate your business processes without writing code. Think of it as a smarter version of Google Sheets where each row can hold files, links to other tables, checkboxes, dropdowns, and more — and you can view your data as a grid, calendar, kanban board, gallery, Gantt chart, or timeline. The platform goes well beyond data storage. You can build custom apps and interfaces on top of your data using a drag-and-drop builder, set up automations that trigger when records change, and create forms for collecting information from your team or customers. Airtable connects to hundreds of other tools through native integrations and sync capabilities. Airtable has invested heavily in AI with features that work directly inside your bases. AI agents can process thousands of records — summarizing, categorizing, translating, or generating content — and take actions across your connected systems. Over 500,000 organizations use Airtable, including OpenAI, Amazon, Netflix, and Airbnb.
