🚀 Hello everyone! 🌟
After our brief introduction to Airtable in our previous newsletter ,we thought it would be the perfect topic to follow up upon.
So today, we stop at the Airtable station. The description reads - a spreadsheet with superpowers. And surprisingly… it's more than that.
🛠️ Airtable - Who Are They?
Airtable is a no-code veteran at this point. It was established in 2012 and has a post-money valuation of about $10,000,000,000+ (as of December 2021) after its 10th round of funding. Solid background check ✔️.
It's a no-code database that combines the simplicity of a spreadsheet with the complexity of a relational database.
Relational Database - helps organize information into tables, defines the details about each piece of information using fields, and creates relationships between different pieces of information. Basically, a super organizer that links pieces of information. MS Excel on speed. Or a very social Google Sheet.
And why do we love it? Because we can create everything from simple to highly complex databases, project trackers, content calendars, and more – all without writing a single line of code.
🚀 Airtable in Action
The fun lies when all the no-code tools are in action together. A few use cases/examples for workflow automation using Airtable, Webflow, and Zapier are listed below:
Registration and Website Update:
Airtable: Use Airtable to host an event registration form and database.
Zapier: Use Zapier to take any new registrations in Airtable.
Webflow: Once a new registration is detected, Zapier triggers an update on the Webflow site to display the latest registrant count or list of attendees.
E-commerce Inventory Management:
Airtable: Use Airtable to manage inventory, stock levels, product details, and pricing.
Zapier: Use Zapier to monitor changes in inventory data in Airtable.
Webflow: Updates the e-commerce website hosted on Webflow with the latest inventory information, such as stock availability, prices, and new product additions.
So the best part is - your data can be integrated into various platforms (list of possible integrations) and automated using Zapier, creating a seamless flow of information. We’ll do a deeper dive into how you can set these up in our future articles.
🌟 Templates!
Airtable understands that not everyone is a database maestro. And here comes the community power. They offer a plethora of templates to kickstart your projects. Just pick one, customize it to fit your needs, and you've got a tailored solution ready to roll.
🗞️ No-Code Tidbits:
🚀 Airtable recently rolled out an integration with Zapier, opening up a world of automation possibilities. We’ll cover Zapier in the future. It links the platforms and automates the automations. BEEP BOP x2
