Go to your project settings by clicking the Settings button on the lower left.

Once you select Airtable, please enter the source's display name and your Airtable PAT. Remember to set up a meaningful display name that contains information about what is connected from Airtable. This display name will be used in the data modeling.

Add a description to each column in your Airtable table for better results. This helps Wren AI understand the data type in the field, leading to more accurate and relevant analysis.
