A content backlog tracker is a tool that helps teams organize and manage their pipeline of content ideas, tasks, and projects. It provides a centralized space to log new content requests, track progress on articles or assets, assign tasks, and prioritize what needs to be produced next. With everything in one place, your team can stay on top of deadlines and keep the content process running smoothly.
Softr makes it easy to create a content backlog tracker that fits your workflow. You can connect your data sources—like Airtable, Notion, or Google Sheets—and set up a workspace where team members can submit ideas, update statuses, and see what’s in the pipeline, all in one place.
No coding is required. You can start with a template or design your own layout, set up permissions for different team members, and customize the look to match your brand. It’s fast to launch, simple to update as your process changes, and flexible enough to keep your content operations organized and transparent.
You can add a variety of features to your content backlog tracker, depending on your team’s process. Popular features include:
\- User logins – so team members can securely access and update the backlog
\- Custom dashboards – to visualize upcoming content, deadlines, or workload
\- Forms – for submitting new content ideas or requests
\- Status tracking – to move content through stages like idea, draft, review, and published
\- Search and filters – to quickly find tasks or content by topic, owner, or status
\- Tables, lists, and detail views – to display the full backlog with key details
\- Comments or updates – to keep discussion and feedback with each item
\- Calendar view – for tracking content schedules and publishing dates
\- Permissions and roles – so users see only what’s relevant to them
All of these features can be built with Softr’s drag-and-drop blocks, so you can easily adapt your tracker as your needs evolve.
No coding is required. You can build your entire content backlog tracker using Softr’s visual editor. Everything from the layout to user permissions can be set up without writing a single line of code.
Yes. You can manage multiple teams or individual contributors in a single content backlog tracker. Each user only sees the tasks and content assigned to them, based on their login and role. This is especially helpful for agencies, editorial teams, or organizations coordinating several content projects at once.
Softr supports a wide range of data sources for your content backlog tracker. You can connect to Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, HubSpot, Clickup, Xano, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, BigQuery, and more. You can also pull in data from other sources using the REST API.
You’re not limited to just one. You can integrate multiple data sources in your content backlog tracker and display them side by side—so, for example, tasks from Airtable and editorial calendars from Google Sheets can be managed together. Most sources support real-time, two-way sync, so any updates are kept in sync automatically.
Yes, Softr gives you full control over how people interact with your content backlog tracker. You can customize the layout, navigation, and task views to match your workflow or editorial process. Each page or section can be shown or hidden based on who’s logged in, so every contributor or team member sees only what’s relevant to them.
You can also set up different user roles, such as contributor, editor, or admin—and define exactly what each role can see or update. For example, contributors might only see their assigned tasks, while editors or admins can manage the entire backlog. You can also create personalized dashboards by filtering content items for each user. This level of customization keeps your backlog tracker organized, secure, and tailored to your team’s needs.
Yes, you can. You don’t need to import your data from another tool to get started with a content backlog tracker on Softr. If you’re starting fresh, you can use Softr Databases, which are built into the platform and work seamlessly with your tracker setup.
If you do already have content tasks or backlog information in tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, Supabase, or SQL, you can connect those as well. There’s also a REST API connector if you want to pull in data from other sources. This way, you have full control over how your content pipeline is organized and displayed.
Yes, you can fully white-label your content backlog tracker in Softr. You can use your own logo, brand colors, fonts, and custom domain to make the tracker feel like a natural extension of your organization or team. You can also remove all Softr branding, so users only see your team’s identity throughout the experience.
Yes, you can. Softr gives you a lot of flexibility to control both the design and layout of your content backlog tracker. You can adjust colors, fonts, spacing, and page structure to match your team’s style. You can also choose how each page is laid out, decide which blocks go where, and set what different users see when they log in.
To display your content backlog and related data, you can add different types of blocks depending on your needs:
\- Table blocks – to show structured data like content ideas, backlog items, or task status
\- List or Card blocks – to highlight things like upcoming content pieces or team assignments
\- Detail View – to show one content item at a time, like a content brief or ticket
\- Forms – for content submissions or feedback
\- Charts – to provide insights into backlog progress
\- Calendar blocks – to display editorial deadlines or review dates
If your content or design needs change later, it’s easy to go back and make updates right in the visual builder.
Softr is built with security in mind. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest, and your content backlog tracker is hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. Softr apps also give you full control over who can access and manage backlog items. You can set up role-based permissions, manage users directly within your data source, set visibility rules, and apply global restrictions to keep sensitive content safe across your tracker.
For trackers connected to external data sources like Airtable, Notion, or SQL, Softr doesn’t store your data—it just displays it in real time based on your access settings. You’re always in control of your backlog data and who can view or edit it.
Softr also follows industry best practices for authentication, access control, and platform monitoring to help keep your information safe.
You can get started for free. Softr’s Free plan lets you publish one app with up to 10 app users and 2 user groups, and includes support for all standard data sources like Softr Databases, Airtable, Google Sheets, and more.
If your backlog tracker needs more users or features, here’s how the paid plans stack up: <http://softr.io/pricing>
Softr is built to make it easy to create fully functional, user-facing apps—like content backlog trackers, client portals, and internal tools—without needing to write code or rely on developers. What sets it apart is how quickly you can go from idea to working tracker, and how well it connects with your existing data.
Unlike some no-code tools that focus on mobile apps (like Glide) or are more dev-oriented (like Retool), Softr is designed for non-technical teams who want full control over layout, user experience, and permissions. You can build on top of real-time data from tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, Softr Databases, or SQL, and create secure, branded backlog trackers that your team can access.
You can customize everything visually—from content and design to who sees what. And because Softr includes things like user roles, forms, conditional logic, and API support out of the box, you don’t need to patch together multiple tools to launch a polished backlog tracker.
Yes. Softr supports a wide range of integrations so you can connect your content backlog tracker to the rest of your stack. You can automate notifications, sync with project management tools, and leverage platforms like Zapier, Make, and N8N for more advanced automations. Softr also supports REST API and webhooks for custom workflows.
Whether you need to send updates to another system, trigger automations when you move backlog items, or display information from other tools, you can build it into your tracker—without writing code.
