# Airtable

[Airtable](https://airtable.com/) is a spreadsheet-database hybrid, with the features of a database but applied to a spreadsheet. The fields in an Airtable table are similar to cells in a spreadsheet, but have types such as checkboxes, phone numbers, and drop-down lists, and can reference file attachments like images.

## Account integration using API key

To begin, you will need:

* An [Airtable](https://airtable.com/) account.

**STEP 1:** Go to the [Airtable dashboard](https://airtable.com/).

**STEP 2:** Click on the user icon on the top right corner, then select **\[Account]** from the dropdown list.
