Via API steps and webhooks No app to install: Kerux talks to Airtable's API with HTTP steps and webhooks, set up once.
Airtable records in and out of your LinkedIn campaigns
An Airtable automation posts new records to a Kerux campaign. When the lead replies or books a call, an API step updates the same record.
How it works
Your automation runs
When a record is added, a script posts it.
Sofia joins the campaign
With the record id kept on the lead.
The record is updated
Kerux writes the status back.
An example workflow
- A record enters the Ready for LinkedIn view; the automation's script POSTs it to the trigger URL with its id in
custom.airtable_id. - Kerux runs the invitation and messages.
- Reply: the When the lead replies box sends them to a short follow-up campaign, where a Webhook / HTTP step PATCHes the record with Status: Replied, using
{{lead.custom.airtable_id}}. - Meeting booked: a campaign started by the Meeting booked Kerux event writes Meeting booked and
{{meeting.start}}to the same record. - Your Airtable views stay the single list of who is where.

Questions
Does Kerux have a native Airtable integration?
Not a one-click app. Kerux works with Airtable today through Airtable's own API: you save your Airtable key once in Kerux, then HTTP steps and webhooks do the work inside your campaigns. Nothing to install and no Zapier needed.
Do I need Zapier for Airtable?
No. Airtable's automation script calls Kerux directly, and Kerux calls Airtable's API with your token.
What happens if Airtable is down or refuses a call?
The lead stops with Airtable's own error message and shows in Need attention with a Retry button. It never shows as finished because a call failed, and nothing else goes out to that lead until you decide.
