How to build a commercial lease tracking database in Airtable from scratch, including field setup, views, and automations for critical date alerts.
By Angel Campa, Founder · Updated March 2026 · Saves 2–4 hours per lease setup
Tenant representatives and small operations teams use Airtable to track lease portfolios but have no structured way to get lease data out of PDFs and into an Airtable base. Manual entry across dozens of fields per lease creates an inconsistent database that is unreliable for portfolio reporting.
Upload the executed lease PDF. Lextract accepts both single-document leases and multi-exhibit packages.
Lextract extracts all lease fields including tenant name, premises, rent schedule, escalations, options, and critical dates.
Download the extraction as a CSV with field names matching standard CRE terminology. CSV imports directly into Airtable bases.
Use Airtable's CSV import feature to add the extracted fields as a new record in your lease portfolio base. Map each column to your existing Airtable fields.
After import, link the new lease record to the relevant tenant and property records in your Airtable base to enable portfolio-level views and rollups.

View Airtable integration →Yes. The Lextract CSV export contains all 125+ fields. During Airtable import you can choose which columns to map to your existing base fields and skip any fields your workflow does not need.
Currently Lextract exports data for import. Updating existing records requires manually merging the new export with the existing Airtable row, or using Airtable's upsert feature if you have a unique identifier.
