Updated yesterday

You can create and access all miniExtensions through our dashboard. You can follow these steps:

  1. From the dashboard, select your workspace on the left

  2. Select the appropriate Airtable base

  3. Then click Create Extension

  4. Use our AI to get a recommendation for which extension to use, or skip to see the full list. On the full list, there are filters as well as a search bar at the top to help you choose.

  5. Select the extension or automation you want to create.

  6. Once you have selected an extension or automation, you will be presented with a pop-up. What's shown here depends on the product you've selected, but at a minimum you'll have to select a table to work with, as well as a name for the extension or automation.You will be redirected to the configuration page afterwards.

  7. Hit Create and you'll be redirected to the configuration page for your new extension or automation.

We have instructional videos for how to set up each one of our extensions and automations on their product pages. You can also access them using the "How to use this extension/automation" buttons on the configuration page, or the "?" icons on the create extension page. The videos guide you step-by-step through the setup process!

If you're a brand new user (Welcome! 🎉) you can also check out our How to get started with miniExtensions guide, which takes you through the initial setup process and shows you how to set up your first extension!
