AirTable Canvas cannot build in any bases

I was able to launch the Open Beta for AirTable Canvas and was interested in testing it out, however, when trying to enter a prompt, I’m told I have no bases and no workspaces I can build in. I believe I’m accessing it from an Enterprise account that has access to Omni, so this is confusing to me.

What are the requirements for an eligible base to build in?

Hm, given that you can’t see anything it makes me think it might be an org wide setting, maybe the Anthropic thing or Canvas not being turned on?  Here’s the Canvas FAQ:

Might want to open a support ticket directly!

That does sound like an account or workspace permission issue, especially if Canvas launches but shows no eligible bases at all. I’d also check whether the account has the right creator permissions and whether the feature is enabled for the specific workspace. It would be helpful if Airtable clarified the exact eligibility requirements, since having Enterprise access doesn’t necessarily mean every base is available for Canvas.

If Canvas opens but doesn't show any eligible bases, I would first check the permissions and feature settings at the organization and workspace levels. Having an Enterprise plan and access to Omni doesn't necessarily mean Canvas is enabled for every workspace or that your account has permission to create content in every base. It may also be worth testing with a base where you have Creator-level access, rather than just editor access, to see whether it appears. If no bases show up at all, even when you have the appropriate permissions, this could be an issue with the Open Beta rollout or an organization-level restriction. Airtable support should be able to confirm the exact eligibility requirements and whether Canvas needs to be enabled by an admin.
