The data your team is focused on should form the foundation of your workflow. That’s why the first step to building in Airtable is creating a database.
Use Omni to add and format data faster. Open your base, click Omni, and attach your raw data — Omni will clean it up, split it into the right fields, and even suggest better field types so your data is analysis-ready from day one. Need more control? A Field Agent can bulk-format, validate, and enrich your data in just a few clicks.
Records are the core unit of your Airtable base. Each one might look like a simple item in a list, but they’re actually the most important building blocks for a dynamic workflow.
