OCR for Airtable attachments with Claude
2 ready-made templates that bring OCR data into Airtable or enrich existing records, with the same preview, match key and revert as every Rowvela import.
Beta in the pilot. Enabled for your workspace on request during the pilot, and marked Beta until verified with a live account.
What you can import
| Template | What it does |
|---|---|
| Extract text from attachments | Sends all images/PDFs in an Airtable attachment field to Anthropic. Checking and new previews consume provider credits; apply reuses the saved result. Review AI output for accuracy. Up to 10 files / 3 MB combined, with a 20-second request timeout. |
| Extract text for each record (for each record) | Sends all images/PDFs in an Airtable attachment field to Anthropic. Checking and new previews consume provider credits; apply reuses the saved result. Review AI output for accuracy. Up to 10 files / 3 MB combined, with a 20-second request timeout. |
