Frequently asked questions
You’ll need to configure the Database Connector inside Xano first (a paid add-on). Once your instance’s public IP and credentials are generated, you can connect Xano to Softr by adding those credentials under Data Sources → Add new → Xano. See full setup guide →
Yes. Xano is built on PostgreSQL and designed to scale from small projects to enterprise-level apps. Its API-first architecture can handle large data volumes, complex logic, and thousands of users without performance issues.
When paired with Softr, you keep that same scalability while adding a secure, no-code frontend with full-stack app functionality.
Absolutely. Softr lets you define custom user groups and set permissions at the page, block, and record level — so internal team members and external users can only see the information that's relevant to them. You can also add action buttons that allow specific users to add, edit, or delete information.
Softr connects directly to your Xano instance via secure API credentials, and all connections use HTTPS encryption.
Yes. You can connect your Xano database alongside other sources like Airtable, HubSpot, Google Sheets, and BigQuery — all in the same Softr app.
