🔗 Build an App Based on API Data with Coupler.io

Community Resources

Background

I recently found a new API I wanted to play around with. I wanted to figure out the easiest way to integrate the data in a Glide app. I know APIs and more Data Sources are in the pipeline for Glide, but until then, Coupler.io is a great option.

Intro to Coupler.io

Coupler allows you to pull external data into a Google Sheet. Since Glide allows you to build apps from Google Sheets, you can now build an app from these external sources with Coupler.

Another good tool.

Here there is another one that we discussed days ago

I am going to test it surely.

Gracias @Darren_Alderman

Yup, a client of mine uses coupler to build the spreadsheet directly from Airtable. Nothing is written to the Google Sheet directly.

Glide → Webhooks → Airtable --(coupler)–> google Sheets → Glide → etc.

Wao!!

How can he show the incoming data from Airtable in Glide without writing it in GS?

I’d pay to see that :upside_down_face: :woozy_face:

Let me rephrase…nothing is written to Google Sheets from Glide :wink:
