Keep supporting values available for review
Map probability and country fields when useful, preserve existing values and review ambiguous records instead of treating a prediction as verified identity.
Data flow
Map only the Airtable fields the workflow requires
The extension does not upload your Airtable base as a file. It sends the mapped value from each selected record to GenderAPI as an individual name or email query and writes the configured response fields back to Airtable.
Frequently asked questions
Airtable extension FAQ
Can one Airtable field contain both names and emails?
Yes. The extension can inspect a mixed source field and determine whether each supported value should be treated as a name or email address.
Which fields can receive results?
Map a required gender field and optional country and probability fields in the extension panel.
Can existing gender values be preserved?
Yes. Enable the option to skip records whose mapped gender field already contains a value.
Should I test before processing the full table?
Yes. Run the extension on a small representative sample first and review the mapped values before processing a larger dataset.
Does GenderAPI store the Airtable base or query inputs?
The extension does not upload the Airtable base as a file. It sends mapped record values as individual queries. GenderAPI does not store email-query inputs; unresolved name or username queries may be retained to improve coverage.
