Add the Airtable node**\n\nIn your n8n workflow, add a node called:\n\nAirtable \u2192 Search Records\n\nYou can find it by typing \"airtable\" in the node search.\n\n**2. Create your Airtable Personal Access Token**\n\n\nIf you haven\u2019t already created your Airtable token, here\u2019s how:\n\n\ud83d\udd17 Go to: [https://airtable.com/create/tokens](https://airtable.com/create/tokens)\n\nThen:\n\nName your token something like TACHES\n\nUnder Scopes, check:\n\n\u2705 data.records:read\n\nUnder Access, select only the base you want to use (e.g. \u201cT\u00e2ches\u201d)\n\nClick \u201cSave token\u201d\n\nCopy the personal token\n\n**3. Set up the Airtable credentials in n8n**\n\nIn the Airtable node:\n\nClick on the Credentials field\n\nSelect: Airtable Personal Access Token\n\nClick Create New\n\nPaste your token\n\nGive it a name like: My Airtable Token\n\nClick Save\n\n**4. Configure the node**\n\u00b2\nNow fill in the parameters:\n\nBase: T\u00e2ches\n\nTable: Produits (or T\u00e2ches, depending on what you called it)\n\nOperation: Search\n\nFilter By Formula:\n\n{Statut} = \"En cours\"\n\nReturn All: \u2705 Yes (make sure it\u2019s enabled)\n\nOutput Format: Simple\n\n**5. Test the node**\n\nClick \u201cExecute Node\u201d.\n\nYou should now see all tasks with Statut = \"En cours\" show up in the output (on the right-hand side of your screen), just like in your screenshot.\n\n## STEP 4: Send each task to Slack\n\nNow that we\u2019ve fetched all the active tasks from Airtable, let\u2019s send them to Slack \u2014 one by one \u2014 using a loop.\n\n### Add the Slack node\nDrag a new node into your n8n workflow and select:\n\nSlack \u2192 Message\n\nName it something like Send Slack Message\n\nYou can find it quickly by typing \"Slack\" into the node search bar.\n\n### Connect your Slack account\nIf you haven't already connected your Slack credentials:\n\nGo to n8n \u2192 Credentials\n\nSelect Slack API\n\nClick Create new\n\nPaste your Slack Bot Token (from your Slack App OAuth settings)\n\nGive it a clear name like Slack Bot n8n\n\nChoose the workspace and save\n\nThen, in the Slack node, choose this credential from the dropdown.\n\n### Configure the message\nSet these parameters:\n\nOperation: Send\n\nSend Message To: Channel\n\nChannel: your Slack channel (e.g. #tous-n8n)\n\nMessage Type: Simple Text Message\n\nMessage template\nPaste the following inside the Message Text field:\n\n### Message template\n\nPaste the following inside the Message Text field: New task for {{ $json.name }}: *{{ $json[\"Titre\"] }}* \ud83d\udc49 Deadline: {{ $json[\"Date limite\"] }}\n\nExample output:\n\nNew task for Jeremy: Relancer fournisseur X \ud83d\udc49 Deadline: 2025-07-04\n\n### Test it\n\nClick Execute Node to verify the message is correctly sent in Slack.\n\nIf the formatting works, you\u2019re ready to run it on schedule \ud83d\ude80\n\n\n\n" }, "typeVersion": 1 }, { "id": "e410705a-8699-44ba-b96e-04f31a4cc278", "name": "Sticky Note",
