# Airtable: create record

The **Airtable: create record** Point template appends a new record to an Airtable table.

## Configure the point

1. Drag **Airtable: create record** from the **Integrations** section onto the canvas.
2. Double-click the point and enter a **Step Name**.
3. In **Personal access token**, enter an Airtable personal access token with permission to write records to the target base. It's stored masked, like a webhook secret header.
4. In **Base id**, enter the target Airtable base id.
5. In **Table id or name**, enter the target table, by id or by name.
6. In **Fields**, add the Airtable field name mapped to the value to write — see [key/value fields](/product/customer-journey/journey-elements/integrations/#configuring-list-and-keyvalue-fields).
7. Click **Save**.

## Response

After the step runs, the new record's ID is available in later steps as attribute **`airtable_record_id`** — use it the same way you'd use a [Webhook response attribute](/product/customer-journey/journey-elements/channels/webhook/#map-webhook-response-data-to-variables), for example to set a Tag with [Update user profile](/product/customer-journey/journey-elements/flow-controls/update-user-profile/#use-a-value-from-a-webhook-response).

A failed request drops the traveler from the journey — see [Errors and failed requests](/product/customer-journey/journey-elements/integrations/#errors-and-failed-requests).
