Clone "Employee Salary Report"

{% endstep %} {% step %} ### **Clone "Free small business budget template" Base** Clone the "[Free small business budget template](https://www.airtable.com/templates/small-business-budgeting/exp12tdSHGebHtVlN)" base template from the Airtable Marketplace to your Airtable workspace

Clone Airtable Base

Here is how you can do that: 1. Once you are redirected to Airtable's page, click `Use Template` 2. Then, select the Workspace where you want to store this base
You have now successfully cloned the base! :tada: {% endstep %} {% step %} ### **Add Airtable PAT to Documint** Once the base is in your workspace, it's time to connect Airtable and Documint. For that, we'll need an API key from Airtable. To get that, go here: [Create Personal Access Token.](https://airtable.com/create/tokens/new) 1. **Give the token a name**
2. **Add the following scopes**: * `data.records:read` (to read your Airtable data) * `data.records:write` (to potentially update records) * `schema.bases:read` (to access your table structure)
3. **Make sure to grant access to the specific base you want to use with Documint**
4\. **Create the Token**
5\. **Copy the Token**
Go to `Integrations` in Documint and select Airtable in `Connections`. Paste the PAT key and save it.
{% endstep %} {% step %} ### **Set up Airtable Connection** In the template, go to the three dots here in Custom Data Source in the Data pane, and the Airtable option will show up for you.
Select the `Small business budget` base. Then select the `Salaries` table. And that's it! The fields are all connected again.
{% endstep %} {% step %} ### **Set up the attachment field** Now, go back to the table integrated with Documint (Salaries) and create an attachment field to store the generated PDF. In this example, we've named it `PDF` however you can name it anything you'd like.
{% endstep %} {% step %} ### **Create the Generation Link for the Documint Template** And back to the template, go to the `Integrations` tab and select the Airtable option. Under the `Generation Link` tab, select the attachment field that you created in the previous step, then copy the `Generation Link Formula`.
{% endstep %} {% step %} ### **Create the Button field** In Airtable, navigate to the `Salaries` table, create a new field with a type of `Button`. Give it a label, then paste the **Generation Link Formula** in the `URL formula` field and save it.
{% endstep %} {% step %} ### **Generate First Document** Click the button and voilá! You have now created your first document, and the information in that record was merged with the template, resulting in a PDF.
{% endstep %} {% endstepper %} Here are other ways you can integrate with Airtable: 1. [**Automation Script**](https://docs.documint.me/integrations/airtable/automation-script): Automatically sends Airtable data to Documint to generate documents based on predefined triggers and actions. 2. [**Airtable Extension**](https://docs.documint.me/integrations/airtable/airtable-extension): Airtable Marketplace extension that lets you select a record and generate either a document preview or a live, unbranded document directly from Airtable.
