Grouping your data in Airtable is important for data visualiziation. Not only can we draw smarter insights from Airtable, but we also get the ability to create better charts and graphs in Softr! In this video, I walk through the steps of creating an automated process that keeps your database...
Automation is the key to moving data through a workflow. While Airtable does have its own automation feature, you'll often need to go outside that environment to build more robust automations. In this video, I outline my favorite automation tool, Make (this link will give you 30 days on the...
As teams grow, it's critical to document and share your procedures in an organized manner. Some of the software out there costs hundreds of dollars per month, but you don't have to invest that much in order to produce and share some terrific SOPs with your team.
In this tutorial, I use two...
Are you ready to do more with Airtable, but you're stuck with Airtable's limitations? If so, you may be ready to invest in some additional software. Two of the most popular "add-on" options are Softr and MiniExtensions.
In this video, I dive into what these tools do, where they differ, and how...
In early March 2022, Airtable gave us the ability to edit records in a shared view. For three glorious hours our thoughts were filled with possibilities, until they abruptly ripped the feature away and announced that it was granted in error.

Until...
Prefilling forms is a common thing in Airtable. Maybe you have some of the info and want to save people time by prefilling it. Or, maybe you want your customers to confirm their info on file and rather than have them fill it out from scratch, you prefill it with the most recent data you have....
Are you looking to create a unique front-end for your Airtable data?
Interfaces are a critical element for most no-code solutions that we build. Airtable helps us store the data and organize it in an optimal way. Automations then allow us to build a streamlined workflow that saves time. Then we...
I've consulted on numerous Airtable databases and explored countless examples built by clients. As you might expect, I see a lot of errors... (I mean, there's a reason our clients are looking for help, right?) Many errors are quite complicated to fix, but in this post I want to...
Databases often contain a LOT of information. Ideally, we store as much data as we can all in one database so that we can keep everything in one source of truth. This is perfect from a data storage perspective, but who wants to click through multiple tables to get their work done? When we are...
Airtable is my favorite tool for project management due to its flexibility. One of the areas that it really shines is within the automation of tasks.
