Airtable interface

⁠

⁠ Tip Jar ⁠ Thank Kuovonne for creating this content! ⁠ ⁠ ⁠

⁠

⁠

Create an Airtable interface and add users as interface-only collaborators.

Pros

You can customize the experience completely within Airtable.

You can provide edit or read-only access. Read-only users can update record data with

prefilled forms + automations⁠

.

You get detailed record history that includes the actual person who made the change.

Users can edit any field type

Users can see formula results

Easiest system to maintain

record data can be filtered to show only user-specific records

difficult to copy data in bulk

provides access to only fields displayed in interface

does not reveal schema

Cons

You have to pay for each user with edit access. This can be the most expensive option.

The external users know that you are using Airtable.

The ability to style the data is very limited.

Users must log in to use the interface.
