Latenode

Automatically notify Slack of Airtable record changes

This template starts when Airtable creates or updates a record in the base and table you watch. JavaScript builds a short message from the fields you care about, such as name, status, and record URL.

Slack posts that message in the channel you choose. Connect Airtable and Slack, then pick the table and the channel. Put Airtable access on the Airtable connection and the Slack bot token on the Slack connection.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
