Another, very important, capability of Airtable is represented by the fact that it allows you to organize your records in a wide variety of ways. It is also worth mentioning that with the help of this utility, you can create and share forms.
Collaboration is also one of Airtable’s strongest features as it allows you to chat with other members.
This is probably the best time to mention that the app features integration support with Dropbox, Asana, Basecamp, Box, Facebook, Evernote, GitHub, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pocket, Slack, SoundCloud, Stripe, Trello, Tumblr, Twitter, WordPress, Wunderlist, Youtube and most of the Google-vetted services around.
One of the best and most accessible applications for data organization
All in all, Airtable is a comprehensive relational database management system with a set of very well thought-out features for organization, sharing and team collaboration.
The most praise-worthy fact is not that it bundles all these incredibly useful features but that it manages to do so while remaining user-friendly and perfectly in tune with the both novice or more advanced users’ needs.
