Airtable is a favourite "ops database" for lean teams — and it makes a great control panel for an AI voice campaign. With n8n, an Airtable base of contacts becomes a calling workflow: trigger calls from records, capture live call events, and log every outcome back to the base.
Here's the ready n8n template.
What the template does
The Airtable Campaign template runs this flow:
- Airtable trigger — fires when a record is added or updated (e.g. a new contact, or status set to "Call").
- Filter — only acts on records that should be dialed.
- Initiate call — calls the voice agent API for that record.
- Webhook (call events) — receives real-time call events back from the platform.
- Update Airtable — writes status, outcome, and any captured data to the record.
The difference from a simple "fire and forget" setup is step 4: Airtable reflects what actually happened on the call, not just that a call was started.
Setup
1. Connect credentials in n8n
- Voice agent API: a Header Auth credential — header
Authorization, valueBearer vp_live_your_api_key(from your dashboard, Settings → API Keys). - Airtable: your Airtable personal access token / OAuth credential.
2. Trigger and dial
On the matching record, call the API:
POST https://voice-agent.edesy.in/api/initiate-call
Authorization: Bearer vp_live_your_api_key
Content-Type: application/json
{
"phone_number": "+919876543210",
"agent_id": 123,
"variables": { "name": "Asha", "channel": "Airtable" }
}3. Capture events and log back
Subscribe to call events (/api/webhooks/subscriptions) so the platform posts updates to your n8n webhook node, which then updates the Airtable record. Now your base shows live call status.
Why Airtable
- Visual control panel — non-technical teammates can manage the campaign in a grid.
- Two-way — records both kick off calls and receive outcomes.
- Composable — Airtable automations and views layer cleanly on top.
