Mirror new Attio records into an Airtable table

A Attio + Airtable agent flow

Attio is where the CRM lives, but the analyst who builds the weekly funnel chart works in Airtable, where they already have formulas, automations, and a dashboard tab. Rebuilding that on top of the CRM API isn't worth it for one report. Instead, the agent lists records from a chosen Attio object with list-records, sorted newest-first, and writes the recent ones into an Airtable table with create_record, carrying the fields the report needs. Attio returns records on request and doesn't push, so the agent reads on a schedule, hourly or nightly, and a record whose Attio id is already in the table is skipped. The analyst keeps their familiar surface; the data shows up on its own.

The flow

Attiolist-records

Lists records of an object type with optional filtering and sorting.

Airtablecreate_record

Create a new record in a table with the given field values.

Step by step

  1. List the object

    The agent calls list-records on the target object, People or Companies or a custom object, sorted by created time descending, and reads down until it reaches records it has already mirrored.

  2. Match to your schema

    Each Attio record's attributes are mapped to Airtable fields by name. The Attio record id is stored on a dedicated column so the table can dedupe and so a later update can find the same row.

  3. Create the mirror row

    create_record writes a row per new Attio record. search_records on the stored Attio id confirms there's no existing row before each write.

Tell your agent

Every hour, list the most recently created Companies in Attio, and for any whose Attio record id isn't already in my Airtable CRM Mirror table, add a row with the name, domain, owner, and the Attio id. Skip ones already mirrored.

Setup

This flow needs both servers connected to your agent. Follow each install guide:

Worth knowing

  • list-records returns records of one object type and paginates newest-first. Track the last Attio id you mirrored and page until you reach it, rather than re-reading the whole object every run.
  • Attio attribute values come back keyed by slug, not display label, and some are arrays or references. The agent should flatten reference fields to a readable value before the write, or the Airtable cell holds an id the analyst can't use.
  • create_record has no dedupe of its own. Store the Attio record id in a column and search on it before writing, so an overlapping schedule doesn't mirror the same company twice.

Questions

Will edits in Attio flow through to Airtable?
This flow mirrors new records. To reflect later edits you'd add a second pass that re-reads records changed since the last run and calls update_records on the matching Airtable row, found via the stored Attio id.
Can it mirror only a subset, like one pipeline?
Yes. list-records takes filters, so the agent can scope to a status, owner, or list membership and mirror only those records, keeping the Airtable table focused on what the report actually needs.
