Are there any plans to make this scriptable with say Javascript?

We're going to release an API in the near future ( https://airtable.com/api ), but that would be used for server-side integrations (ie you must deploy your own server to host your own code talk to Airtable's servers).

We do want to support some form of scripting that would be hosted on OUR servers, but that's further out on the roadmap. We also have plans to support external integrations and triggers via Zapier/IFTTT.

Reach out if you need any help on the Zapier front :)

Thanks! Will do. Been using Zapier personally for some misc personal workflow (receipts=>evernote=>email to our accountant). Love it!

Not sure what kind of back-end is accessible to users, but I bet Airtable could fit into this flow nicely: https://zapier.com/engineering/database-query-automation/

+1 for IFTTT. It would be great to create Airtable files from third party sources: forms, emails, other apps, etc.
