Airtable is a powerful tool that combines the ****flexibility of spreadsheets with the power of a database. It allows you to store and organize different types of data, making it a great choice for managing data in your Softr app.

With Airtable, you can:

• Store text, images, checkboxes, and more
• Create custom views to filter and sort your data
• Control who can view or edit information
• Use ready-made templates to speed up setup
• Integrate with third-party tools

In this article, we’ll walk you through connecting your Airtable account to Softr and displaying your Airtable data in your app. For a quick overview, check out our video walkthrough. 👇

1. Connect your Airtable account

To use Airtable in Softr, you must first link your Airtable account. Here’s how:

Step 1: Add an Airtable data source to your workspace

In your Softr Dashboard, navigate to Data Sources in the left menu and click Connect Data Source. Select Airtable and proceed to authenticate your account.

Add, edit, or remove a datasource using the buttons on the dashboard

Step 2: Grant access to the Airtable bases you want to use in your workspace.

Select all the bases you want to access in Softr and click Authorize.

<aside> ⚠️

When granting access, we strongly recommend choosing “All current and future bases in all current and future workspaces.”

If you don’t, you’ll need to manually reselect bases every time you reconnect, which could break your apps.
