+1Hi.
I want to automate certain processes w/ MS Power Automate. When I want to integrate Airtable to my workflow I see that Power Automate offers Deprecated connector and in order to use it I need Power Automate premium license.
1. Does this connector work (if I acquire Power Automate premium license)?
+1I wouldn’t buy Premium just to find out whether this connector works. Microsoft lists it as deprecated and Premium, but neither tells us whether its authentication still works with Airtable:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/airtable/
The connection form says “API Key,” but Airtable’s legacy API keys no longer work. Airtable now directs individual integrations to personal access tokens. The label alone doesn’t tell us whether a token will work or fail, so I can’t confirm the connector is usable without testing it.
A custom connector won’t get around premium licensing either. Microsoft treats custom connectors as a premium entitlement.
For a reliable direct API implementation, you need error handling, pagination where relevant, and duplicate prevention when retrying writes. A successful connection test isn’t enough.
What event should start your workflow, and what should happen next? That determines whether an Airtable-native automation or a standard Microsoft connector route is worth checking before adding another integration service or script.

+1Thanks for the answer.
Typical event could be f. ex. update of excel file on the Sharepoint (outcome of previous Power Automate workflow). In such a case table/fields in the table in AT should be updated w/ record/records in the Excel.
I am aware of AT automations (will those work for this case) but I would rather prefer having whole workflow in Power Automate
