A user generated content collection portal is a secure online space where users can log in to submit, manage, and view their own content contributions—such as articles, images, stories, or feedback. It centralizes all submissions and interactions, so you don’t have to manage content through scattered emails or shared folders. This makes it easier to stay organized, streamline the submission process, and offer a better experience for both contributors and portal administrators.
Softr makes it simple to create a user generated content collection portal tailored to your needs. You can connect your existing data sources, like Airtable, Notion, or Google Sheets, and set up a portal where users can log in, submit content, track their submissions, and interact with other users or moderators—all in one place.
No coding is needed. You can use a template or build from scratch, customize the layout, set permissions for different user roles, and brand the portal to fit your organization. It’s quick to launch, easy to update, and flexible enough to grow with your content collection needs. Everything stays organized and professional.
You can include a wide range of features in your user generated content collection portal, depending on your workflow. Some of the most common ones are:
\- User logins – so each contributor can access and manage their own submissions
\- Submission forms – for uploading articles, images, feedback, or other content
\- Custom dashboards – to display submission status or feedback
\- File sharing – users can upload and download files securely
\- Search and filters – to help users and admins quickly find specific content
\- Tables, lists, and detail views – to display submissions, comments, or statuses
\- Comments or status updates – to keep communication clear and visible
\- Moderation tools – to approve, reject, or provide feedback on submissions
\- Roles and permissions – so different users (contributors, editors, admins) only see what’s relevant to them
All features can be created using Softr’s drag-and-drop blocks—no coding required. If your needs change, it’s simple to update your portal at any time.
No coding is required. You can build your user generated content collection portal entirely using Softr’s visual editor. Everything from submission forms to user roles and permissions can be set up and customized without writing a single line of code.
Yes. You can manage multiple contributors or teams in a single user generated content collection portal. Each user only sees the content, submissions, or tasks assigned to them based on their login and role. This is especially helpful if you’re coordinating submissions from different groups or individuals and want each one to have a focused, personalized experience.
Softr supports a wide variety of data sources. You can connect your user generated content collection portal 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 platforms using the REST API.
You’re not limited to just one source. You can integrate multiple data sources into the same portal, allowing you to display and manage content submissions side by side. Most data sources offer real-time, two-way sync, so any updates in your portal or the original source stay in sync automatically.
Yes, Softr gives you full control over how users interact with your user generated content collection portal. You can customize the layout, navigation, and content to match your process and branding. Each page or section can be shown or hidden based on who’s logged in, so contributors only see what’s relevant to them.
You can also create different user roles, such as contributor, admin, or reviewer, and define exactly what each role can view or edit. For example, contributors can submit and view only their own content, while admins can manage and review all submissions. You can also create personalized dashboards by filtering content based on the logged-in user.
This level of customization is especially useful when you’re collecting content from multiple contributors or teams in the same portal. It helps keep the experience focused, secure, and tailored to each user.
Yes, you can. You don’t need to have existing data in another platform to start building your user generated content collection portal with Softr. If you’re starting from scratch, you can use Softr Databases, which is built-in and integrates seamlessly with your portal.
If you do have existing content or contributor lists in platforms like Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, Supabase, or SQL, you can connect those as well. You can also use the REST API connector to bring in data from other sources. Either way, you have full control over how content and user submissions are structured and displayed in your portal.
Yes, you can fully white-label your user generated content collection portal in Softr. You can use your own logo, brand colors, fonts, and custom domain to make the portal feel like it’s entirely yours. You can also remove all Softr branding, so contributors and users will only see your portal’s identity throughout the experience.
Absolutely. Softr gives you plenty of flexibility to adjust the design and layout of your user generated content collection portal. You can fine-tune colors, fonts, spacing, and page structure to match your vision. You can also choose how content is organized, which blocks appear on each page, and what different types of users see when they log in.
To display and collect user-generated content, you can use a variety of blocks:
\- Table blocks – for structured submissions or lists of uploaded content
\- List or Card blocks – to showcase user profiles, featured submissions, or categories
\- Detail View – to display individual entries or submission details
\- Forms – for new content submissions
\- Charts – to highlight trends or statistics from the content collected
\- Calendar blocks – to display submission deadlines or event schedules
If your needs evolve, you can quickly update the design or layout right in Softr’s visual builder.
Softr is designed with security as a priority. All data is encrypted both in transit (TLS) and at rest, and your user generated content collection portal is hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. You have full control over who can access content and features through user roles and permissions, visibility rules, and global restrictions to keep submissions safe.
If your portal connects to external data sources like Airtable, Notion, or SQL, Softr doesn’t store your data—it displays it in real-time according to your configured settings. This means you’re always in charge of your content and who can view or modify it.
Softr also follows industry best practices for authentication, access control, and ongoing platform monitoring to keep your portal’s data secure.
You can start building a user generated content collection portal on Softr for free. The Free plan lets you publish one app, support up to 10 users and 2 user groups, and connect with standard data sources like Softr Databases, Airtable, and Google Sheets.
If your portal outgrows the Free plan—such as needing more users, groups, or advanced features—Softr’s paid plans offer scalable options so you can expand as your content community grows.
Softr is purpose-built to help you quickly launch fully functional, user-facing portals—like user generated content collection platforms—without coding or developer help. Its main advantage is how fast you can move from idea to live portal, and how seamlessly it connects with your data sources.
Compared to other no-code tools that might focus on mobile apps or developer-oriented dashboards, Softr is ideal for non-technical users who want full visual control over layout, user experience, and access rights. You can build your portal on top of data from Airtable, Google Sheets, Softr Databases, or SQL, and create a secure, branded experience for your contributors and community.
Everything is visually customizable, from the way content is collected and displayed to who can access different sections. With built-in user roles, forms, conditional logic, and APIs, you don’t need multiple tools to launch a polished platform.
Yes, you can. Softr supports a variety of integrations, letting you connect your user generated content collection portal to other tools and automate workflows. You can connect with services like Zapier, Make, and N8N to automate processes—like notifying you about new submissions or sending content to other platforms. Softr also supports REST API and webhooks for advanced automation.
Whether you want to trigger actions based on new content, sync with external systems, or display information from other sources, you can do it all within your portal—no coding required.
