Publish a LinkedIn carousel for every new Airtable record

A new row in Airtable becomes a multi-slide LinkedIn carousel, posted as a native PDF document the moment it lands.

New record, new carousel

Airtable is where a lot of teams already run their content pipeline, so it makes sense for it to run the carousels too. This workflow treats each record as a finished post: add a row, and Orshot renders a native LinkedIn carousel from your template and publishes it. No separate design file, no manual upload.

Who runs this

Content and marketing teams
The Airtable base that tracks the calendar also ships the posts, so planning and publishing live in one place.
Agencies
Each client base becomes its own carousel queue, and anyone on the team can add a record without touching a design tool.
Solo creators and founders
Batch a week of carousels as records, mark them ready, and let each one post itself.
Product and demand-gen
Launch talking points move from a tracked record straight into a swipeable LinkedIn document.

Each Airtable record maps straight onto the slides of your carousel. Click a record to see the carousel it renders:

Set it up once

  • Map each field in your table to a slide in the carousel template.
  • Connect the LinkedIn account you want records posted to.
  • Set the trigger to fire on new records, optionally filtered to a ready status.
  • Add records and let each one become a carousel, on brand every time.

How it works, step by step

  1. Set up your Airtable base

    Use a table with a field per slide, like Hook, Body, and CTA. Each record is one carousel.

  2. Connect the carousel template

    Pick a multi-page carousel template and map each field to the matching slide.

  3. Connect LinkedIn

    Link the LinkedIn profile or page the carousels should post to.

  4. Add a record to trigger it

    When a new record appears, the workflow renders a PDF carousel and posts it to LinkedIn.

Frequently asked

How do I post LinkedIn carousels from Airtable?

Keep your posts as records in an Airtable table, with a field per slide. This workflow fires when a new record appears, renders it into a native PDF carousel using your template, and posts it to LinkedIn. Your base becomes the content queue.

Does a new record post right away?

It posts when the record appears and meets your trigger conditions. Many teams keep a status field and only trigger on records marked ready, so drafts sit in the base until they are set live.

Why a PDF instead of images?

LinkedIn renders a multi-page PDF as a swipeable document, which is the native carousel format. The PDF keeps every slide's fonts and spacing exact, so the post looks designed, not stitched together.

Can several people fill the base?

Yes. Airtable is built for teams, so anyone with access can add a record. Every carousel still renders from the same template, so the output stays on brand regardless of who wrote the copy.

How many slides can a carousel have?

As many as your template defines. Add a field per slide you want, and the workflow renders every page from that single record.
