Baserow
The robomotion baserow CLI connects to Baserow (open-source Airtable alternative) for row and table management. It supports listing rows with filtering/sorting/search, single-row CRUD, and field schema inspection on any self-hosted or cloud Baserow instance.
When to use
- List, create, update, or delete rows in Baserow tables
- Search and filter rows with custom queries
- Get table field definitions and schema
Prerequisites
robomotion CLI installed
- Package installed:
robomotion install baserow
- Baserow instance URL and API token configured via Robomotion vault
IMPORTANT: Session Mode Required for Multi-Step Operations
Each CLI command runs as a separate process — connection IDs from connect do NOT persist across calls.
You MUST use --session on connect and pass --session-id to all subsequent commands.
Workflow
- Install (once):
robomotion install baserow
- Connect with session:
robomotion baserow baserow_connect --session --output json
# → {"outClientId":"<client-id>","session_id":"<session-id>"}
- Use the returned
client-id and session-id in all subsequent commands:
robomotion baserow baserow_list_rows --client-id "<client-id>" --table-id <table> --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
- Disconnect when done:
robomotion baserow baserow_disconnect --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
Always append --output json to get structured JSON results.
