How show an interface without airtable account?


Forum|alt.badge.img+16

Hi, I'm playing with the interfaces and I have a question. Is there any way I can share an interface with a person that hasn't an Airtable account?

I don't want to add them as collaborators, because they should see only that interface (not the base) and I don't want to ask them to create an Airtable account just to see my interface. My final goal is sharing the interface link with an automation through email. 

Is there any way? Thank you!

I'm jumping into this thread to request this feature.
Being forced to only use interfaces with paid users makes it way less effective. Most of the data I need to visualize and share isn't for people in my dept.

I have the same problem. I need to share an interface, but I don't want the people to have access to the database.

I have created an Interface page for speakers at my conference.  On this page, they can reach out to organizers via comments, keeping all conversations regarding that speaker in one spot.  They can get details of who, what, when, and where.  Make hotel reservations. Click a button to confirm they are coming and see instant audience feedback.  All of this is on one page and filtered for that speaker.  But they have to have a paid seat making this option for our little conference too expensive.  I would love for a Comment Only Interface access not to be a paid seat.  This interface would be a huge value add for us and we would be able to create different interface pages (but the same concept) for attendees, exhibitors, and sponsors.

I'm requesting this also. Sharing an interface with your business mission metrics on your website will allow 

customers to stay informed with how your company is progressing on the mission and stay engaged with your story.

Requesting interface public view too.

I've created a massive database for our NGO and it shows live how many families we're helping and I would like to add that to our website.

It is good to see others are having the same issue.  These interfaces are great at being able to manipulate data and show it in a visual way to others in the business who don't necessarily need to use the data or Airtable at all.  But having to have them as paid users doesn't make sense and almost makes interfaces redundant to us.

I am also in the position where I want users to submit information more complicated than can be submitted via a form, and not have access to the base. Given that we'd need many, many users to submit information one time it doesn't make sense for them to have paid seats, nor even an account.

Me too. So many people asking for this

I 100% agree that this feature needs to be added. You can make some really beautiful dashboards from the data in our bases, but not being able to share them (or even print them) with external people is very disappointing.

I agree 100%. What’s the point of having and interface, if people can’t interface with it?? I love the dashboards, and would like to create a dashboard for each of my clients to see the activity stats and the status of the projects I’m working on for them. My internal team (who have Airtable accounts) don’t need this - they have access to the data. Please add this feature!

Hi guys, I asked about this feature here:

https://community.airtable.com/t5/product-ideas/show-an-interface-without-airtable-account/idi-p/147216 

So if you want to write why you need this feature there, it could be helpful! An admin noticed that post due to the number of Kudos received.

+1 for this to be added


Forum|alt.badge.img+3

Adding to the chain. +1 for view-only, non-user, shareable interfaces. I collect a lot of data with Airtable and can display it beautifully in Interfaces. I also need to share that data with a lot of external stakeholders that I don't want accessing the database. Not being able to share externally renders the interface almost completely useless.

I don't know if you know that.. With the new updates, there is a possible "temporary" solution to our problem. We can download a PDF version of the interface and send it to our clients. It isn't the perfect solution for things that change frequently because the PDF will be static, but at least it is something.

Same here, at least a new access level "view interface only"
