Automate Airtable Base Backups to Amazon S3 with Slack Notifications

This workflow automates the process of backing up all tables from an Airtable base to Amazon S3 as CSV files, organizes them in a time-stamped folder, and sends a completion notification via Slack. It also includes a monthly pruning feature to delete backups older than four weeks.

The workflow is designed to run weekly, exporting each table in an Airtable base to a CSV file. These files are then uploaded to a designated folder in an Amazon S3 bucket, named according to the current week. A Slack message is sent upon successful completion of the backup. Additionally, a monthly pruning process is set up to remove any folders in the S3 bucket that are older than four weeks, ensuring that storage remains efficient and up-to-date.
