Research and provide insights to all Airtable entities

Automate Airtable Research & Insights with Tonkean

Enterprise operations teams often rely on Airtable to manage everything from project tracking to vendor management and legal requests. However, as the number of bases and tables grows, so does the complexity of finding and consolidating information. The Search Airtable Agent template from Tonkean solves this challenge by automating the process of searching, researching, and providing actionable insights across all your Airtable entities—without the need for manual intervention or advanced technical skills.

Key Use Cases for Enterprise Operations

  • Procurement Teams: Instantly search across supplier records, purchase requests, and contract statuses stored in multiple Airtable bases. Tonkean's agent can pull together a consolidated view for spend analysis or compliance checks, integrating seamlessly with your ProcurementWorks solution.
  • Legal Operations: Automate the research of legal matters, contract renewals, or intake requests tracked in Airtable. The agent can surface relevant case details and deadlines, integrating with tools like Ironclad or DocuSign for end-to-end orchestration.
  • IT & HR Teams: Streamline onboarding or offboarding by searching employee records, equipment requests, and access logs in Airtable. Tonkean can connect this data with systems like Workday or Okta for a unified process experience.

How Tonkean Orchestrates Airtable Data for Maximum Value

The Search Airtable Agent leverages Tonkean's no-code process builder to connect directly with your Airtable workspaces. By automating data retrieval and research, Tonkean empowers operations professionals to:

  • Automate repetitive research tasks—freeing up time for strategic work.
  • Deliver real-time insights—ensuring decisions are based on the latest data.
  • Reduce errors—by standardizing how data is pulled and reported.
  • Enable self-service—so business users can get answers without IT bottlenecks.

Tonkean’s data source integrations allow you to orchestrate workflows that span Airtable and other enterprise systems, such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email. For example, a procurement manager can trigger a search for all open vendor requests in Airtable directly from Slack, receive a summary, and initiate next steps—all within Tonkean’s unified platform.

Example: Automated Vendor Research in Procurement

Imagine your procurement team needs to research all vendors who have submitted proposals in the last quarter. Traditionally, this would involve manually searching through multiple Airtable tables, exporting data, and compiling reports. With the Search Airtable Agent template, Tonkean automates this entire process:

  1. The agent receives a request (via form, Slack, or email) to research vendors.
  2. Tonkean queries Airtable, pulling relevant records from all connected bases.
  3. The agent applies filters (e.g., date range, proposal status) and generates a consolidated report.
  4. The insights are delivered to the requester’s preferred channel, and can trigger follow-up actions, such as sending documents for e-signature with DocuSign or updating records in Coupa.

This not only accelerates procurement cycles but also ensures compliance and auditability by maintaining a clear, automated trail of all research activities.

Why Tonkean for Airtable Automation?

  • No-code configuration: Operations teams can build and adapt workflows without developer resources, using Tonkean’s intuitive UI builder.
  • Enterprise-grade security: All data orchestration is governed by Tonkean’s robust security and compliance controls.
  • Composable automation: Easily connect Airtable with your existing tech stack—whether it’s for legal, procurement, or IT—using Tonkean’s composable architecture.
  • Scalable insights: As your Airtable usage grows, Tonkean ensures your research and reporting processes remain efficient and reliable.

We've taken our cycle time from 19 days to 10. We've dramatically reduced the time it takes to sift through all of these orders that are coming through via email, via Slack and other web forms. It's created all of that efficiency, allowing our teams to do more with a lot less. We're thrilled about having Tonkean in-house.

“Our relationship with the legal and compliance team has drastically improved. It’s now a trusted partnership. I think that’s been a huge benefit, and something I’m looking forward to is just allowing people to do what they’re hired to do, rather than having to focus on manual tasks.”
