Day 6 Hours 7-8

Hour 7: Identifying Opportunities for Airtable Integration

Where can Airtable fit?: We will start by identifying which parts of your web application could benefit from Airtable's capabilities. This could be any area that needs to manage, store, or display data. For example, you might use Airtable to manage user accounts, store content for a blog, or track orders in an e-commerce site.

Functionality vs. Feasibility: We'll also discuss the importance of balancing your application's functionality with the feasibility of implementing it in Airtable. While Airtable is powerful and flexible, it does have its limitations and it's crucial to understand these as you plan your application.

Hands-on Exercise: Review the design of your sample web application and identify where you could integrate Airtable. Consider which aspects of your application's functionality could be supported by Airtable and jot these down.

Hour 8: Planning Airtable Integration

Data Structure and Design: Now that you've identified where you can use Airtable in your application, it's time to plan your Airtable base's structure. This involves deciding what tables you'll need, what fields those tables will contain, and how those tables will relate to each other.

Design for Integration: We'll also consider how to design your Airtable base with integration in mind. This includes using consistent field names, making use of Airtable's view functionality, and planning for the use of Airtable's API.

Hands-on Exercise: Create a plan for your Airtable base that supports your sample web application. Sketch out the tables you'll need, the fields those tables will contain, and how they'll relate to each other. Consider how this structure will support the functionality of your application and make any necessary adjustments.
