# Airtable for Workflows
> Trigger Workflows from Airtable record changes and automate record creation, updates, and deletion.
Use Airtable as a trigger or a set of actions in your [Workflows](/workflows/overview). Start a Workflow when records are created, updated, or deleted — and use Airtable actions to read and write records as part of any automation.
Airtable Workflow actions and triggers require a paid Cassidy plan.
## Connect your account
1. Open an Airtable trigger or action in the [Workflow builder](/workflows/overview).
2. Click **Connect**.
3. Sign in with Airtable.
4. Click **Add all resources** to grant access to all your bases, or **Add a base** to select specific ones.
