Frequently asked questions
Softr is the easiest way to turn your data into modern business apps—no coding or design skills required. Connect to your spreadsheet or database, customize layout and logic, and share with your team or clients. HR teams use Softr to build onboarding hubs, PTO trackers, employee directories, and more.
Building HR systems often means purchasing expensive software or asking IT for custom builds. With Softr, you can create flexible HR tools that adapt to your processes.
Here’s how it works:
- Connect your data: Start by choosing where your employee records or other data will live. With Softr, you can build on top of tools you already use, such as Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, SQL databases, HubSpot, and more. You can also create and manage your data directly in Softr Databases.
- Set up users and permissions: Define roles like HR admins, managers, and employees. Add secure logins and control who can see or edit information with built-in authentication and role-based access.
- Build your pages: Use drag-and-drop blocks like Lists, Grids, Charts, and Forms to create app pages for onboarding hubs, PTO request forms, employee directories, performance review dashboards, or training trackers. Restrict access so only logged-in users can view certain pages, and only specific roles can take actions (view, edit, delete).
- Customize design and branding: Add your logo, colors, and layouts so the system looks professional and fits with your company’s identity.
- Add automations: Trigger alerts, notifications, or updates automatically. For example, send reminders when PTO requests need approval, when training modules are overdue, or when performance reviews are scheduled.
- Publish and iterate: Get your HR app live in hours, then continue to adjust or expand it as your team grows—no developers needed.
With Softr, HR teams can connect to structured data stored in:
- Spreadsheets (Airtable, Google Sheets)
- Databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Supabase)
- Business tools (HubSpot, Notion, ClickUp, Coda, monday.com)
- Softr Databases, Softr's built-in solution for storing and managing data
This makes it easy to unify HR data like employee records, PTO requests and logs, training progress, and performance reviews in one secure system.
Most HR platforms are rigid and expensive. Softr is different because it:
- Connects to 15+ data sources, so you can build on top of the tools you already use
- Provides granular permissions to control who has access to sensitive HR data
- Lets you customize HR workflows to your business (e.g. onboarding, reviews, requests)
- Has AI features built in, so users can get answers to HR questions instantly
- Scales with your team and allows you to build exactly the tools you need
Yes! Softr’s Ask AI feature works directly with the data in your apps, so end users can query what they need. Examples:

Note: Ask AI only analyzes the data each user is allowed to see at the block level, always respecting your app’s visibility and permission rules.
