Open requests
Sarah Chen, operations manager at Acme Ltd, asked which equipment requests were still open. Memtro searched the requests table for rows with status open, sorted by date, and listed them with their requester and item.
Budibase + Memtro
Which rows in our Budibase requests table are still open, and who can use the app?
Budibase shows you the tables, columns and rows of one workspace, with filtered searches and sorting. Memtro also reads its views and saved queries, the tenant's workspaces, and users by id and global role only. When asked and granted, it can add, change or delete rows, and run a saved query, which may write to the system behind it. It can publish or unpublish a workspace, delete a table or view, and add, change or remove users and their roles. The API key acts as its user, with that user's roles, so a dedicated user is safer.
In Memtro
What you can do with Budibase in Memtro
Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Budibase tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.
What it does
- 01Lists the workspace's tables, views and saved queries, and reads a table's columns with types and allowed options.
- 02Searches a table's or view's rows with filters and a sort column, and reads one row with related rows by display value.
- 03Lists the tenant's workspaces with whether each is published, and users by id, status and global role.
- 04When asked and granted, adds, changes or deletes a row, which can start the app's automations, or runs a saved query.
- 05When asked and granted, publishes a workspace, making it live for every user, or unpublishes it, or deletes a table or view permanently.
- 06When asked and granted, adds, changes or deletes a user, or gives or takes away roles and builder or admin access.
Acts when asked
When you ask it to
These tools change something in Budibase. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
- 01Add a row to a table
- 02Change column values on a row
- 03Delete a row (permanent)
- 04Run one of the workspace's saved queries (it may write to the database or API behind it)
- 05Publish a workspace, making its current version live
- 06Unpublish a workspace, taking it offline for its users
- 07Delete a table and all of its rows (permanent)
- 08Delete a view (permanent)
- 09Add a user to the Budibase tenant
- 10Change a user's name or global builder, admin and app roles
- 11Delete a user (permanent)
- 12Give named users a role, builder or admin access, or take it away
In practice
Ask it like you would a colleague
Once Budibase is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.
Budibase + Memtro
Which rows in the requests table are still open?
What columns does the assets table have?
Which saved queries does this workspace have?
Which users have admin access?
Mark request 1042 as approved.
Approving a request
Dan Fletcher, facilities lead at Northwind, asked Memtro to mark one request as approved. With the action granted, Memtro read the row first, then changed its status column, which can start the app's row automations.

Setup
How to connect
Connect withAPI key and workspace id
- 1
In the Budibase portal, open your user menu → View API key and generate a key. Generating a new key invalidates the old one.
- 2
Open Connections → Budibase in Memtro and paste the API key and the Workspace id from the builder address. Set Budibase host only if you self-host.
- 3
An administrator grants actions such as delete a row or publish a workspace by name to the teams that may use them. A Workspace id starting app_dev_ works on development data.
- 4
Ask which rows in the requests table are still open.
Also works from
Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The Budibase tools are the same everywhere.
FAQ
Questions
Can Memtro change anything in Budibase?+
Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: add a row to a table; change column values on a row; delete a row (permanent); run one of the workspace's saved queries (it may write to the database or API behind it); publish a workspace, making its current version live; unpublish a workspace, taking it offline for its users; delete a table and all of its rows (permanent); delete a view (permanent); add a user to the Budibase tenant; change a user's name or global builder, admin and app roles; delete a user (permanent); give named users a role, builder or admin access, or take it away. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
Who can use a Budibase connection?+
A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.
Does Memtro store my Budibase data?+
Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.
How do I connect Budibase?+
API key and workspace id. In the Budibase portal, open your user menu → View API key and generate a key. Generating a new key invalidates the old one.
