I'm glad you can share an individual page in an interface. It's a decent improvement but still not the best solution. Now, if you could public share a full interface or at least the overview page, it would be such a much needed game-changer.

Being able to share the Overview page of an interface with a nice cover image would be so helpful when sharing with a client or customer. It looks professional, well organized and nicely structured. Perfect if you want to share only the information without providing full access.

Notion (overrated IMO) allows this (sharing of a workspace) where you can organize it and make it look professional. Currently in Airtable, when I end up haveing to share multiple URLs for different pages, clients get very overwhelmed. Being able to publicly share an interface would be incredible.

Hey ​@metricsmule,

 

You might want to submit this as s feature request using this form. 

Yes, definitely will. 

​@metricsmule,

 

Totally agree with your idea here, it would be game changing, unfortunately I dont think Airtable has much incentive on doing that. They’ve been very careful and thoughtful into what interfaces are made public and they’ve made every effort to curb any creative ways of using it as custom portal. For example if you have a gallery of products or images and you want to share publicly only 1 of those products, you are not able to, you have to share the full gallery page which then the public user can search everything and would need to look for that one product you were trying to share. They also make the record details to open only as a side panel instead of full. 

 

This is why there are so many portal 3rd parties out there, it is definitely a big use case, but Airtable is more focused on enterprise and internal operations. In my opinion, opening up more public facing features would bring more Airtable awareness in many more use cases and I’m sure it would help them long term.

 

 

Good points. However, good news...I did speak to someone not too long ago and they mentioned that sharing a full interface will be possible in the future. That would be one of the best updates Airtable could give us. I’m not a fan of Notion, but this would allow you to create something similar (like Notion) where you can create somewhat of a home page with re-directs to different views in Airtable. This could be a game-changer for creators like myself that sell and build custom databases for people. It’s a win-win for Airtable because it will ultimately lead to more people signing up for a paid account. 

Thanks for sharing ​@metricsmule! Looking forward to it!
