In Airtable
Your Betterment data as records in Airtable
Choose an Airtable base for your Betterment data. Finta writes the supported records you select, ready for your views, filters, formulas, and automations. The fields depend on the accounts you connect.
Holdings and trades
Your Betterment holdings and trades in Airtable
Finta writes three tables: Holdings, Securities, and Investment Transactions. Quantity, every trade, and cost basis (when Betterment reports it) come from Betterment. Each holding links to its security, which carries the symbol and close price.
- Holdings
- Summary, Account, Security, Quantity, Cost Basis, Base Currency, and Last Update. One record per position in each account. Market value and gain or loss aren't synced fields. Add a lookup of the security's Close Price and a formula to calculate them.
- Securities
- Symbol, name, security type, and the last close price with its date. Option details are optional fields. To get them, open the Securities table settings in Finta and use Add Field to add Option Contract Type, Option Expiration Date, Option Strike Price, and Option Underlying Ticker. They fill in when Betterment reports the contract.
- Investment Transactions
- Date, security, quantity, price, amount, fees, and currency for each buy, sell, dividend, fee, and transfer. The subtype tells a dividend from a dividend reinvestment, a contribution, or an interest payment.
Keep a history, not just today's positions
Finta keeps one Holdings record per position and updates it in place. Sell a position and its record stays, with Quantity set to 0, as long as the account still holds something. If you sell everything in an account, its old records keep their last values, and Last Update shows when each one last synced.
For value over time, add Balance History. Finta stores each account's balance once a day and adds a dated record, so you build a daily record of what each Betterment account was worth.

Timing and limits
Sync timing varies by connection and destination
Your source connection decides when new data is available. Finta syncs supported updates according to the source connection and Airtable behavior.
Source and destination permissions
Plaid handles sign-in, so Finta doesn’t receive or store your Betterment password. The financial connection is read-only. Finta cannot move money. Writing into your Airtable base is a separate permission you give Airtable.

Betterment to Airtable questions
- Can I connect Betterment to Airtable?
- Yes. Connect your Betterment accounts through Finta, choose what to sync, and connect Airtable.
- Which Betterment data can I use?
- Transactions and Investments may be available. What you get depends on the accounts you connect, and available fields depend on that connection.
- Does Betterment cost basis sync to Airtable?
- Yes, when Betterment reports it. Finta writes each position's total cost basis to the Cost Basis field. If Betterment doesn't report one for a position, that field stays empty.
- Can I track Betterment options in Airtable?
- Option positions sync as holdings. The contract details are optional Securities fields, so add them first. Open the Securities table settings in Finta and use Add Field to add Option Contract Type, Option Expiration Date, Option Strike Price, and Option Underlying Ticker. Those fields fill in when Betterment reports the contract.
- Does crypto show up?
- Only crypto that Betterment reports as a holding. Finta sets its security type to cryptocurrency. Coins you hold at a separate exchange aren't part of this connection.
- Does Finta move money or change my Betterment account?
- No. Finta cannot move money or change your account through the financial connection.
