Create Airtable Bases Immediately

Ever needed to create Airtable bases on a frequent base that include many fields and tables?

The question I asked myself is, how can I simplify the annoying part of creating each field and especially if you need to link it to something or include a field in a formula but it hasn’t been created yet. So I came up with the following solution.

This scenario allowed to immediately create them upon pressing a button.
All we need is:

  • Admin base, that contains the base name, tables and fields
  • Assign each table the fields to feature and assign each field the correct field type

  • Define workspace destination of the newly created base
  • Trigger Make scenario from webhook through an Airtable button
  • Voila, your prebuilt base!

You even can log all built bases in the “Bases” table and keep track of which was created when and also include the URL to open the base immediately

And this is what the main scenario looks like, hope it helps you!

From my observation, you are using two search modules, so does this mean you are cloning an existing base data into a new base, instead of creating from scratch?

What if you wanted to create a new base without data?

No there must be a misunderstanding, first search module is to get the to be created tables and the second module is to get the to be created fields in the corresponding table

this is about creating fields not new records hence the tables are always empty
