You can now create a functional app with just a prompt, from Client portals to Internal tools, Team Intranet, CRM, and more. Build your app with AI today!

You can now group your records when using date or timestamp fields – by day, month, quarter, or year.

New data insights are waiting for you!

You can now add, edit, or delete user groups directly in Users > User groups.

As for user redirection settings (page after sign-in/out), you can now find them under Pages > Page rules. Oh, and we've also added an option for you to configure what happens when users try to reach an Unauthorized page.

We have moved data source management to the workspace level!

This means that within the same workspace, any collaborator can:

• Add a data source to one app, and use it in other apps without re-connecting.
• Remove / re-authenticate a data source (except guest collaborators), and the change will take effect across all apps.

In addition, Softr has officially introduced OAuth as the new Airtable authentication method.

🚨 As Airtable will fully retire API keys by Jan 2024, we highly recommend that you replace existing API keys with OAuth ASAP!

There are a few more important notes about both updates. Please check out this blog post for more details

Simplify your signature workflows with this new input field! It lets your users draw or type their signatures, which then get automatically saved as images in the connected data source. Available on Professional plan and above.

We've made it easy for you to personalize the transactional emails that are sent to your app users.

You can now change the subject line, the body of the email and leverage the power of variables to create custom emails that are relevant to your users.

Our new "Preview mode" feature makes it easy to test your app's usability from different user perspectives, including specific visibility and action permissions.

This can help you test new changes and get feedback from collaborators before you publish.

Charts now display information about the time of the last refresh. For preview and live modes, data refreshes every 15 minutes. For edit mode, sampled data refreshes near real-time.

P.S. App builders can manually refresh the data in the preview mode to conveniently test their apps.

Previously, when you changed the URL path of a page, you had to update every setting that linked to that page (e.g., open page action) - a frustrating task indeed. The good news is that we have fixed this quirk! Now, all page settings will continue to work even after you change a page’s URL path.

When adding an additional list or details block to a details page, you now have the option to hide the entire block if no record is found, instead of showing an empty state. I love this update, and I hope you’ll love it as much.

PATs are now available for you to connect your Airtable account. Upon changing API Key to PAT, no change will be needed on the block level. They will work as is. OAuth support is next in line to be supported.
