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. Ops teams use Softr to build CRMs, project trackers, inventory and help ticketing systems, team intranets, portals, and more.
Building ops tools often means cobbling together different software or paying developers to code custom tools from scratch. With Softr, you can build flexible apps in hours in a few simple steps:
- Connect your data: Start by choosing where your operations data will live. With Softr, you can build apps on top of tools you already use: Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, SQL databases, HubSpot, and more. Or create and manage records directly in Softr Databases.
- Set up users and permissions: Define roles like employees, managers, and admins, then add secure logins, and control who can see or edit information. Softr makes this easy with built-in authentication and role-based access.
- Build your pages: Use drag-and-drop blocks like Lists, Grids, Charts, and Forms to create your app pages. You can restrict access so only logged-in users can view certain pages and only defined users can take actions (view, edit, delete).
- Customize design and branding: White-label your app by adding your logo and brand colors.
- Add automations: Trigger alerts, notifications, or updates automatically. For example, send notifications when a request is submitted, when budgets exceed limits, or when deadlines are approaching.
- Publish and iterate: Get your operations app live in hours, then continue to adjust or expand it as your business grows — no developers needed.
You can connect Softr to:
- Spreadsheets (Airtable, Google Sheets)
- Databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Supabase)
- Business tools (HubSpot, Notion, ClickUp, monday.com)

This means you can build full-stack apps on top of your existing data, then customize who sees what and which actions they can take.
