Connected data

When connected, Windmill can securely read the following Airtable information:

Data Type	How Windmill Uses It
Record updates (project/task activity)	Builds timelines of contributions for 1:1s and reviews
Comments / discussion threads	Adds qualitative context and nuance to achievements and challenges
Status fields (e.g., In Progress, Done)	Helps summarize progress and measurable outcomes
