Understand your Airtable system before changing it.
I document reference methods for dependencies, linked records, automations, and migration checks. These examples omit client names, data, and outcomes. The Airtable Rescue Decision Sprint may recommend staying, repairing the base, connecting other tools, or migration.
Patterns
Inspecting Airtable dependencies →
The inventory includes forms, scripts, automations, and people’s work.
I explain how to inventory an Airtable base’s forms, scripts, automations, integrations, and human processes.
Preserving Airtable linked records →
Relationship checks compare linked records across systems.
I explain how to map and check linked-record relationships when an Airtable migration is chosen.
Mapping Airtable automations and scripts →
Each automation has a documented trigger and target.
I explain how to document an automation’s trigger, conditions, and side effects before moving it.
Checking access after an Airtable migration →
Access checks compare what each person can read and change.
I explain how to compare effective access before and after an Airtable migration.
Comparing migrated data with Airtable →
Counts, checksums, and samples check the copied data.
I explain how to compare counts, checksums, relationships, and selected records against Airtable.
Switching to a new Airtable replacement →
A rehearsed sequence defines the switch and its abort point.
I explain how to rehearse a switch from Airtable to a chosen replacement and define its abort point.
Planning reversal during an Airtable migration →
The plan identifies when the source remains authoritative.
I explain how to document source ownership and reversal limits during an Airtable migration.
Mapping Airtable fields to PostgreSQL →
The mapping records how fields and relationships are represented.
I explain how to map Airtable fields and relationships when PostgreSQL is the chosen destination.
Moving an Airtable system to Supabase →
The plan includes database access, authentication, and file storage.
I explain how to plan database access, authentication, and file storage when moving to Supabase.
Keeping Airtable alongside another system →
Each table has a documented source of truth and sync direction.
I explain how to keep Airtable alongside another system with clear ownership and sync direction.
