# Connect to Airtable

To protect the security and privacy of your Airtable data, SlapFive's Embedded Integration eliminates the need for you to email or message us with your Personal Access Token (PAT). You or your Airtable Admin can simply connect to Airtable right from within SlapFive. You only have to do this once and it will be used for all Airtable data synchronization scenarios. The login data is then encrypted and stored within the Embedded Integration.

1\. In SlapFive, go into **Settings**, and click on the **Integrations** sub-tab.

2\. Click the **Airtable Connection** box to expand it. Enter the following fields and click **Connect**.

* [ ] **Authentication type:** Select *Personal access token* from the dropdown list.
* [ ] **Personal access token:** Go to [this screen](https://airtable.com/create/tokens) in Airtable to generate a new Personal access token and paste it here. See the [Creating personal access tokens article](https://support.airtable.com/docs/creating-personal-access-tokens) for how to generate the PAT.

Once you are successfully connected, the button should now say **Disconnect**, and you should see a green <mark style="color:green;">**Connection success**</mark> message.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.slapfive.com/integrations/airtable/connect-to-airtable.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
