BugSmash + Airtable

Turn visual feedback into Airtable records

Q: Can different projects use different tables?

Yes. Each BugSmash project connects independently and can use the same Airtable table or a different one.

Q: Which events update Airtable?

The current guide lists new comments, comment updates, comment replies, and comment status changes.

Q: Does BugSmash require compatible Airtable fields?

Yes. The setup guide documents recommended field types for title, description, status, assignee, reporter, attachments, and review links.

Q: What Airtable access does BugSmash request?

The article lists access to the selected base and table structure plus permission to create and update records, and states that BugSmash accesses only the base and table explicitly connected.

Connect each BugSmash project to a selected Airtable base and table. New comments create records, while documented updates, replies, and status changes update the corresponding Airtable record.

Live Scenario BugSmash + Airtable
