We’ll get into more details below, but here’s a glimpse of what’s possible with Airtable: We know that “building an application” can sound like a tall order, but we promise that with this guide, a little effort, and Airtable, you’ll be creating your own tool in no time. So how does one platform help accomplish all that? At its core, Airtable allows you to easily create a database that holds the information that matters for your work, then use it to power the visualizations, processes, and integrations that make up a custom application that’s truly unique to you. (Spoiler alert: that’s what low-code/no-code is all about.) Our customers use Airtable to do everything from tracking job interviews to managing large-scale video production, and thousands of companies use Airtable to run their most important business processes every day.
These tools can streamline just about any process, workflow, or project-and best of all, you can build them without ever learning to write a single line of code. In short, Airtable is a platform that makes it easy to build powerful, custom applications.
We’ll walk you through everything you could possibly need to know about Airtable, including answering one big question… What is Airtable? Hello and welcome to Airtable’s guide to getting started! If you’re wondering how or even if your team should use Airtable, what makes it different from a spreadsheet, or what a “low-code platform” means, then this guide is for you.
