Great Video, Dan! You earned a subscriber with me. Just a quick couple of questions: 1) Is data from Airtable to softr static (i.e. just a 'snapshot' of airtable data is captured by softr), or is it dynamic and softr content will change as I add data to airtable? 2) does this mean that airtable can feed data to softr but softr cannot feed data to airtable (unless we use zapier etc.)? For context: I'm thinking of using airtable + softr to create a team database for a non-profit I manage, and I would like for them to have their own profiles to see their pending tasks & progress reports, and at the same time be able to add new ones (and even edit existing, if possible!) I am aware of airtable's Form view and collaborate function, but I was just wondering if there are other workarounds to simplify the external-facing component of the database for the staff. Any reply would really help. Cheers! 🥂
Hey, thanks for watching! Airtable acts as the backend database that stores all of the information. Softr has all of the widgets/controls/pages that you see. So to answer both 1 & 2, the content is dynamic. As you add records to Airtable, they are visible to the end user in Softr (after a page reload). Likewise, Softr has forms and update actions that actually create/update back in Airtable. So you can add a new task via your /tasks page in Softr, and it will create the task record in your Airtable tasks table.
I was interested to build up the content of the Front end from Artable like the title, description for the hero block and section.. But I see this not possible or I miss something ? The idea is to create automatique Landing page per persona
Awesome video, Dan! 🎉😊

Yes, yes 🍻🍺
How can we do joins and get data from multiple tables at once ?
You could use linked records and lookups in Airtable and then show the joined data in a single table/block in Softr

You can do it by using dynamic blocks instead of static ones. For example, using the list + list details blocks!
