Update an Airtable record

Automatically update an Airtable record on airtable.com. Change field values of one record in an Airtable base and return it as Airtable stored it. Fields you leave out keep their values, a field set to null is emptied, and a field that already holds the value is left alone. Changes text, long text, email, URL, phone, number, currency, percent, checkbox, date and single or multiple select fields. Get record ids from list_records.

Input

baseId required

Base id (app...), from list_bases or the base's URL.

fields required

New values by field name (or field id); null empties a field. Text, long text, email, URL and phone take a string; number, currency and percent a number; checkbox true or false; date an ISO date (2026-11-03) or date-time; single select an option name; multiple select a list of option names, which replaces the current list. Options must already exist.

recordId required

Record id (rec...), from list_records or create_record.

List Airtable invoices

List Airtable workspace billing invoices across every workspace you have billing access to. Returns total plus invoices (workspace, date, amount, status, hosted_invoice_url: the invoice's hosted page, where it can be downloaded). Billing is per workspace and only the workspace billing owner sees it; workspaces without paid history return no invoices. Requires a signed-in Airtable account; fails with a sign-in error otherwise.
