What are processor tools?

Processor tools run operations on your Airtable records in bulk. Point a tool at a table, configure what it should do, and run it. The tool reads your records, processes them, and writes results back, all without leaving Filla.

How tools work

Every processor tool follows the same pattern:
1

Configure

Select a source table, choose which fields to read from and write to, and set any tool-specific options.
2

Filter (optional)

Limit which records to process by selecting a view or adding filter conditions.
3

Run

Click Run to start processing. Filla reads records in pages of 100, processes each one, and writes results back to Airtable.
4

Monitor

Watch progress in real time. See how many records have been processed, succeeded, skipped, or failed.

Preview panels

11 of 18 tools have interactive preview panels that show a dry-run of the tool’s output against real Airtable data before you commit to a full run. Look for the preview section in the tool editor to test your configuration.

Background execution

When you click Run, Filla starts the tool in the background. The HTTP response returns immediately so you can continue working. Progress is tracked in real time on the run panel, showing records processed, succeeded, skipped, and failed.

Error handling

All tools support configurable error handling:
OptionBehavior
StopStop the entire run when any record fails
ContinueLog the error and keep processing the remaining records
Skip recordSkip the failed record and continue with the rest
Failed records are logged with error details so you can investigate and re-run if needed.
