About Airtable

Airtable is a cloud database that behaves like a spreadsheet. Data sits in a familiar grid of rows and columns, but each table has a defined schema with typed fields, records can be linked between tables, and the same data drives views, automations and an API. Work is organised into bases, and more than one base can sit under a single subscription. Existing spreadsheets and CSV files can be imported when moving data in.

Interface Designer is included in every plan and builds custom layouts on top of a base, so people can read and update records without working in the raw table. Portals go further by filtering what appears in a table according to field conditions, which controls what a given audience sees.

Airtable integrates with Jira, Slack, Google Drive and Salesforce, among other tools, and connects to assistants including ChatGPT and Claude. A public API lets developers read and write base data from their own applications.
