Airtable: the no-code database as simple as a spreadsheet

Discover Airtable, the no-code database as simple as a spreadsheet

Airtable is a collaborative platform that combines the simplicity of a spreadsheet with the power of a relational database, so you can build your own business tools without writing code.

A marketing team runs its editorial calendar on it, an SMB builds a custom CRM, a product team manages its roadmap. Instead of juggling Excel files, you centralise your data in visual bases that everyone can explore in their own way.

Airtable is built around four pillars:

From structured data to full business apps, each layer builds on the previous one.

1. Relational databases: finally structure your data

Each base holds tables linked to one another, like a real database.

  • Link your tables together: customers, projects, tasks, invoices
  • Use rich field types: attachments, dropdowns, formulas, barcodes
  • Import your existing spreadsheets in a few clicks
  • Collaborate in real time with comments and revision history

2. Customisable views: every team sees what matters to them

The same data, presented differently depending on the need.

  • Switch between grid, kanban, calendar, gallery and Gantt views
  • Filter, sort and group without ever touching the source data
  • Share restricted views with clients or partners
  • Create forms to feed your bases without opening up full access

3. Automations: eliminate repetitive work

Airtable runs the tasks you used to do by hand.

  • Trigger actions when a record is created or updated
  • Send Slack notifications or emails automatically
  • Schedule recurring actions: reminders, weekly reports
  • Extend your workflows with Make or Zapier to connect the rest of your stack

4. Interface Designer: real applications for your teams

Turn your bases into ready-to-use business apps.

  • Build visual interfaces with drag and drop, no code required
  • Give each profile limited access to the data that concerns them
  • Create dashboards with charts and key metrics
  • Ship simple tools for field teams or management

What about artificial intelligence?

Airtable embeds AI features directly in your bases: summarising text, categorising records or generating content field by field. A simple way to enrich your data without leaving the platform.
