Airtable Base Backups to S3

This workflow exports every table in a base as its own CSV, saves the files in a time-stamped folder in Amazon S3, pings you on Slack, and optionally prunes older copies. You get an automated weekly backup that is easy to inspect or re-import as needed. You can easily swap the S3 node for the storage provider of your choice.

++How it works++

Weekly Backup Schedule trigger fires weekly Sets and formats the week ex. [2025-W12] Create a folder in S3 bucket with the week Loops through all tables in Airtable base creating CSVs and uploading to the new path Slack message is sent on completion

Monthly Prune Schedule trigger fires weekly Sets a cut-off date 4 weeks in the past Lists folders in S3 Deletes all folders > 4 weeks old
