- Analysts needing regular data exports to PostgreSQL
- SaaS products integrating Airtable with relational storage
## What the automation does
- Triggered by an Airtable webhook on schema or data changes
- Fetches and validates the Airtable base schema
- Checks existing tables in PostgreSQL, creates missing ones, removes obsolete ones
- Maps and transfers data in batches with upsert logic
- Handles errors and responds via webhook with operation status
## What´s included
- Ready-to-use n8n workflow
- Trigger and handler logic using HTTP API and Webhook

- Basic textual guide for setup and adaptation
## Requirements for setup
- n8n account with access to Code Node
- PostgreSQL database credentials (host, port, name, user, password)
- Airtable API key with read access to schema and data
- Configured Airtable webhook pointing to n8n endpoint
## Benefits and outcomes
- Fully automated synchronization without manual intervention
- Consistent schema and data alignment between Airtable and PostgreSQL
- Reliable data foundation for BI, analytics, and internal tools
- Reduced risk of data loss during Airtable structure changes
- Enables PostgreSQL as a source for downstream integrations
