A data collection portal is a secure, centralized platform where users can log in to submit, view, and manage data. Instead of relying on emails, spreadsheets, or scattered forms, all your data collection happens in one organized space. This makes it easier for your team and users to keep track of submissions, access important information, and collaborate efficiently.
Softr makes it simple to build a data collection portal tailored to your specific process. You can connect your existing databases—like Airtable, Notion, Hubspot, monday.com, SQL, and more—and create a portal where users can log in, fill out forms, upload files, and access records, all in one place.
No coding is needed. You can get started with a template or build from scratch, customize the layout, set permissions for different users, and add your branding. It’s quick to set up, easy to update, and flexible enough to grow with your data collection needs. Everything stays organized and accessible.
Your data collection portal can include a variety of features based on your workflow. Common options are:
\- User logins – so each participant can access their own submissions or data
\- Custom dashboards – to display summaries, analytics, or progress
\- Forms – for new data entries, surveys, or requests
\- File uploads – so users can attach documents or images securely
\- Search and filters – for quickly finding relevant entries
\- Tables, lists, and detail views – to organize and display collected data
\- Comments or status updates – to keep communication consolidated
\- Charts – to visualize trends or key metrics
\- Calendar view – for tracking deadlines or submission dates
\- Permissions and roles – so users only see and access what they’re supposed to
All of these features can be built using Softr’s easy drag-and-drop interface, so you can adapt your portal as your process evolves.
No coding is required. You can build your entire data collection portal using Softr’s visual editor. Everything from forms to layouts and user permissions can be set up and customized without writing a single line of code.
Yes. You can manage multiple projects or user groups within a single data collection portal. Each participant only sees the forms, submissions, and data assigned to them, based on their login and assigned permissions. This is great if you’re gathering data across different teams, departments, or research groups—all within one organized platform.
Softr supports a wide range of data sources for your data collection portal. 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 bring in data from other systems using the REST API.
You’re not limited to just one source—combine multiple data sources in your portal and display them all in one place. For example, your data collection portal can pull in responses from Airtable and Google Sheets together. Most sources support real-time, two-way sync, so your portal and data source stay up to date automatically.
Yes, Softr gives you full control over how users experience your data collection portal. You can personalize the layout, navigation, and content to fit your project’s needs and branding. Each page or form can be shown or hidden based on who’s logged in, so each participant or team member sees only what’s relevant to them.
You can set up different roles, like participant, data manager, or admin—defining exactly what each can view or edit. For example, participants might only submit or review their own responses, while data managers oversee all collected data. You can also create filtered views based on the logged-in user, making sure everyone has the right access. This flexibility is especially helpful for managing complex projects with multiple contributors and sensitive information.
Yes, you can. You don’t need existing data in another tool to start building your data collection portal on Softr. If you’re starting from scratch, you can use Softr Databases, which are built right into the platform and designed to work seamlessly with your portal.
If you already have data in tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Notion, Coda, monday.com, Supabase, or SQL, you can connect those too. Plus, you can use the REST API connector to bring in data from other sources. No matter how you start, you have full control over how data is collected, stored, and displayed in your portal.
Yes, you can fully white-label your data collection portal in Softr. You can use your own logo, brand colors, fonts, and custom domain to make the portal feel like a natural extension of your organization. You can also remove all Softr branding, so users only see your organization’s identity throughout the experience.
Yes, you can. Softr gives you a lot of flexibility to control both the design and layout of your data collection portal. You can adjust colors, fonts, spacing, and page structure to match your organization's look and feel. 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 and collect data, you can add different types of blocks depending on what you need:
\- Table blocks – to show responses, records, or submissions
\- List or Card blocks – to highlight data sources, team members, or project overviews
\- Detail View – to show individual data entries or records
\- Forms – for gathering information from users
\- Charts – to visualize collected data
\- Calendar blocks – to display data submission deadlines or project timelines
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 apps are hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. Softr apps also give you full control over who can see and do what in your data collection portal. You can set up role-based permissions, manage users directly within your data source, set visibility rules, and apply global restrictions to protect sensitive information across your entire portal.
For portals 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 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 data collection portal 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 data collection portals, CRMs, 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 a working portal, 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 portals that your users or team members can log into.
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 something polished.
Yes. Softr supports a wide range of integrations so you can connect your data collection portal to the rest of your stack. You can sync with tools like Stripe for payments, Intercom for chat, and automate tasks using Zapier, Make, and N8N. Softr also supports REST API and webhooks for more advanced workflows.
Whether you need to send collected data to another system, trigger automations based on user submissions, or display information from other tools, you can build it into your portal, without writing code.
