### Installing and Configuring Getint for Airtable
Getint simplifies connecting and migrating data between systems. Below are the steps to get started:
**Step 1: Access Getint**
* **Want to integrate Jira with Airtable?** Just download the app from the Atlassian Marketplace. It’s quick and easy! You can find it here: [Airtable Integration for Jira.](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1231789/airtable-integration-for-jira-airtable-connector?hosting=cloud\&tab=overview)
* Other tools: Select between [Getint On-Premise or SaaS options.](https://app.getint.io/app/auth/sign-up)
**Step 2: Set Up a Connection with Airtable**
* Ensure you have the correct access permissions. Here you will find all the steps to generate an access token in Airtable: [Generating an Airtable Token.](https://docs.getint.io/guides/quickstart/connection#airtable)
* Choose Airtable as the app, create a new connection, and enter your Airtable access token.
**Step 3: Connect to Another Tool**
* Choose the platform you want to integrate with Airtable, such as Jira.
**Step 4: Map Types and Fields**
* Match Airtable issue types, such as Tasks, with their equivalents in the other tool.
* Leverage the Quick Build feature for automatic mapping, or adjust mappings manually to fit your needs.

### Supported Airtable Fields
Getint allows you to map fields between different platforms, and here's a list of our currently supported:
{% hint style="info" %}
#### **How Field Mappings Work:**
**One-Way Mapping:**
* When you update fields in one of the synced apps, those changes will appear in the other app. However, updates made in the other app won’t affect the first app because the fields are read-only.
**Two-Way Mapping:**
* Updates to synced fields will be reflected in both apps. If you modify a field in one app, the change will automatically sync to the other app as well.
**Tip:**
While technically it's not possible to directly modify read-only fields, we offer a solution to achieve bidirectional integration or migrate these fields using custom fields. Setting up this solution requires specific steps, but it is indeed possible. You can find more detailed information in this [article.](https://docs.getint.io/getting-started-with-the-platform/prepare-for-integration/understanding-the-difference-between-platforms-you-integrate)

**Important Note:** While we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of this list, please be aware that supported fields may differ in the original product.

### Key Considerations
At Getint, we are committed to continuously updating our supported features, fields, and compatible apps. However, please keep the following key points in mind:
* **Attachments** aren't supported.
* **Change History**: Getint cannot integrate the history of changes.
* **Comments**: Comments added by Getint will appear under the user account you choose during connection setup. Consider creating a dedicated Service Account for integration to maintain consistency. The original author’s name will appear in the comment footer, but the comment will be assigned to the connecting account. Also, comments and attachments transferred from Airtable to Jira will be set to public or private (they will be public by default). You can configure Jira to mark all comments from Airtable as private automatically. However, enabling both public and private visibility options is impossible.
* **Rich text** formatting is supported for text fields.
