Connect Qlik and Airtable

Qlik admins often keep a separate list of who has access and which apps exist, for licence counts and audits. FlowMattic fills that list in Airtable for you. Qlik user and app events create, update or remove records, so the register in Airtable matches the tenant without anyone exporting a report.

2. ActionCreate Record

When Qlik fires Users, FlowMattic runs Create Record in Airtable with the data from that event.

You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps

Qlik and Airtable workflows you can build

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.

Qlik app icon Airtable app icon Ready-made template

Add each new Qlik user to an Airtable directory

A record is created with the user's name, email and the date they were added. The licence owner sees every new seat in one table without opening the Qlik console.

Mark removed Qlik users as inactive instead of losing them

When a user is deleted in Qlik, the workflow finds their Airtable record by email and sets the status to Removed with the date, which keeps an audit trail of who had access.

Build an inventory of Qlik apps as they are created

A Router reads the event type on the Apps trigger. New apps get a record with name, owner and space, so analytics leads can see what exists and who to ask about it.

Keep a reload log for every Qlik app

Each reload event writes one row to a log table with the app and time. When a dashboard looks stale, the team checks the log before raising a ticket.

Record the last data update on the app's inventory row

On a data update event, the workflow finds the app's record and updates a Last refreshed field, so the inventory shows which apps have gone quiet.

Queue newly published apps for a governance review

Publishing makes an app visible to more people. Each published app lands in a review table with the status To check, so a data steward signs it off.

Remove deleted apps from the Airtable inventory

When an app is deleted in Qlik, the workflow searches the inventory for its ID and deletes that record, so the table never lists apps that are gone.

Set up: new Qlik users in Airtable

Once finished, each user added to your Qlik tenant appears as a record in your Airtable directory table.

  1. Prepare the Airtable table

    Create a table with fields such as Name, Email, Qlik user ID, Added on and Status.

  2. Connect Airtable

    Under Connects in FlowMattic, add an Airtable connection that can reach the base holding the directory.

  3. Start with the Users trigger

    Create a workflow with Qlik Users and set up the Qlik webhook it gives you, choosing only the user created event.

  4. Capture a sample user

    Add a test user in Qlik so FlowMattic captures the event data you will map.

  5. Create the record

    Add Airtable Create Record, pick the base and table, map the user fields, test the step and switch the workflow on.

Triggers and actions in this pair

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.

Good to know

  • Each Qlik trigger covers several events: Users fires on created and deleted, Apps on created, deleted, data updated, reloaded, published and exported. Pick only the events you need in the Qlik webhook, or check the event type with a Filter.
  • These workflows copy Qlik events into Airtable, so editing a record in Airtable does not change anything in Qlik. Data only flows from Qlik to Airtable.
  • Updates and deletions need a field to match on. Store the Qlik user or app ID in Airtable when the record is created, then search by that ID later.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

Qlik and Airtable connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Tenant details stay off third-party hubs

User emails and app names go from Qlik to Airtable through your own WordPress server, which helps when the register is part of an audit.

Every event logged at the same price

Runs are unlimited, so logging each reload of a busy tenant adds nothing to your bill.

A register people outside Qlik can read

Finance and IT can see seats and apps in Airtable views and forms without a Qlik licence of their own.

Common questions

Can Qlik send new users to Airtable automatically?

Yes. Start a workflow with the Qlik Users trigger and add Airtable Create Record. Choose the user created event in the Qlik webhook so deleted users are not added as new records.

How do I tell a reload from a publish on the Apps trigger?

The event data includes the event type. Add a Filter that checks it, or a Router with one path per event type, so each kind of change goes to the right table or field.

Can I count Qlik seats from Airtable?

Yes, if users are marked Removed instead of deleted. An Airtable view or count field on records with the status Active then shows the seats in use.

Can an Airtable record create a Qlik user?

Not with these workflows, which run from Qlik to Airtable; the Airtable New Record trigger can start other workflows, but none here add users or apps in Qlik.
