Generate images in bulk with Airtable integration

Airtable is an easy-to-use online platform for spreadsheet-database. The user interface is simple and similar to a spreadsheet. You can use Airtable to organize, store and collaborate on anything – product catalog, project management, sales, etc. Most importantly, it doesn’t require you to know any scripting languages or SQL to use.

APITemplate.io offers integration with Airtable so you can import your data from Airtable and generate images in bulk.
