How can I scrape text from webpages into my Airtable base?

I want to download the text from a set of URLs into my base

You can use our Web Scraper / Crawler automation to extract text content from webpages and save it to your Airtable records. Here's how:

  1. Select the Airtable Table containing the URLs you want to scrape.

  2. Select the Input Field — the field that contains the URL of the webpage to scrape.

  3. Select the Output Field — the text field where the extracted webpage content will be stored.

  4. Optional: Enable the Error Message Field and select a text field where the automation will log error messages for records that encounter processing issues (e.g., invalid URL, page failed to load, or timeout).

Each page must load within 30 seconds or the automation will time out. The extracted text is limited to 100,000 characters per page; longer content will be truncated. Pages that rely heavily on JavaScript or lazy-loaded content may not be fully captured.
