## Hey Gliders!

We have good news today! You can now create Glide Apps and Pages from an **Airtable** database!

.

**This is a beta release.** This means that we think Airtable is stable and ready for production use but will still receive a lot of polish before an official launch. Please let us know what you think, and any feedback is much appreciated!

.

**[Try Airtable now!](https://go.glideapps.com/new)** Share your feedback, and tell us what we can improve!

This is exciting! I pay $25/month for a 3rd party app to integrate my airtable db and this will allow me to connect straight to glide instead. Going off to try it out….

</div>

Update: My db has 5K rows of data and I have it currently set up with the Basic $12/mo plan. The airtable integration will only allow me 10 rows of data and is saying that I need to upgrade to a Private Plan ($40/mo) but I don’t see why I shouldn’t be able to go with a Pro Plan ($32/mo) as they both allow 25K rows. Going to try that instead and hopefully cancel my other platform.

</div>

Update: The app status is all messed up now and showing that I have 2 apps, 1 basic and 1 pro and now I see the basic has 5K rows which should have been fine, except that when I connected the API, it brought in all the tabs which have other data I don’t need. I think I will need to send a note to support to clear this up before I can play with Airtable.

I’ve upgraded to Pro and got the message that it will take a few minutes - waiting patiently now as it’s been at least 5 min and I’m still limited to only 10 rows, have logged out and back in… 🤪

I’m keen to give Glide a go, as I use Airtable extensively - and I’m busy trialing one of the other solutions.

Anybody got some feedback on creating a successful solution with Glide & Airtable?  
Thanks

Congratulations Glide Team.

These are my impressions after trying Glide Airtable integration beta last weeks as an early adopter.

So excited about having a complete functional integration soon.

> [@Airtable & Excel Early Adopters Wanted](https://community.glideapps.com/t/airtable-excel-early-adopters-wanted/37619/98):
>
> After trying Airtable connection both in Glide Apps & Pages I conclude that Glide Pages improvements as carrousel component must come hand by hand with the ability to edit Airtable links and multi attachment Airtable fields edition capabilities.
> 
> The magic of Glide building beatiful and modern user oriented front ends and the power of Airtable as background data manager is a truly game changer.
> 
> While testing this beta integration I made use also of Glide tables in combination with Airtable synced ones so some of the data needed to make Apps & Pages functional resides only in Glide.

I have tried the new Airtable connection and ran into a very serious problem.  
Airtable’s linked record fields are not showing in Glide. It impossible to actually use Airtable since all the data is already connected between tables and Glide just can’t see it.

Please fix that.

</div>

In my experience linked data appear correctly in Glide integration. Due to the narrow row limits in the free version the linked data aren’t always available. I made the beta testing upgrading to pro and all linked data were there ready to be shown.

The main problem with this beta version is the impossibility to edit Airtable links and multi attachment Airtable fields. Also I’m missing a carrousel component in Glide Pages in order to show multi attachments as it is already possible in Apps.

Some kind of access to Airtable views would be great.

Although all this lacks, it looks like just a fine starting point but not enough for an official launch.

What the row limit got to do with missing fields?  
Airtable’s linked record fields (the field which connects a record to a record in another table) are just missing in Glide.

@Amit_Merckado can’t you see the Airtable link columns or are they empty?

What do you mean by they’re “just missing”? They don’t show up? They’re not editable yet, but they should show up and be usable.

this is a great evolution for glide. we can see that the application is more reactive than with google sheet! In my opinion, something is missing, being able to use the airtable views as table. that would be awesome.
