We should all write support to ask for it. This is really needed


+1 — dying for this option

Agreed. It’s killing me that Airtable won’t allow public interfaces. I need that on the Free plan. I can make my whole base public; why not the interface? It’s really preventing me from using Airtable for what I need to do; I’ll probably have to look at other options.

Welcome to the Airtable community!

Many people would like to have interfaces be public. And Airtable stated that they understand that people want that feature in one of their recent “Community AMA” announced in this post.

Airtable has a history of releasing new features incrementally. When enough of a new feature is ready, Airtable release it, even if it doesn’t yet have all the bells and whistles.

On the other hand, if you really need a particular feature on the free plan, Airtable might not be the right platform for you. Airtable uses its free plan to let people get a taste for the platform, but reserves many of its most powerful features for Pro and Enterprise users.

Upvote! I’d love to share Interfaces more freely.

I am just one person trying to start a database to support my community. The Pro plan is not an option for me right now.


+1 On this. This would potentially bring me to the paid plan…

Upvote from me too. We’re using Airtable with lots of our clients in the charity sector - being able to publicly share the impact of their work would be a massive plus.

So as a pro user, would sharing an interface with a public link allow viewing it without an account?
I have an interface I'd like to share without requiring the user to sign in to view and comment on it (not as collaborators/editors).
Thanks in advance 🙂

Wow, amazing that this is not a feature yet 😳. Just started investigating Airtable and created some dummy content to test things and then an interface to display it. I saw the share button on the interface and assumed "ah good, they have the ability to share it publically" but when I had finished and wanted to show the boss the potential of Airtable I was perplexed to not see a public link option. It's not even a pro feature!!!

Again, this feels totally unfair. Why not? What is not to gain? We can show off our beautiful dashboards and communicate with clients who may then ask, wow, what were you using? Less in your face and far more human friendly. Allow us to show you off!

Posting to bump this up again! This is a much-needed feature.

Definitely upvote on this one! I use Airtable to keep tabs on church membership stats (attendance, volunteer area, etc.) and would love the ability to show general graphs via the interface rather than sharing a public link to a specific view.

Seriously a very important feature to have - I thought that was the point of this feature!

the fact that airtable doesn't include this honestly is a huge miss. may be a deal killer

This is the reason why I won't go with airtable


Yeah, this is almost a requirement to make interfaces useful. I want to send this as a link to dozens clients so they can see status of their project.  I don't need them as collaborators.

Running into the same issue here. I need to use the Interface as an interactive dashboard of information and it makes no sense to add all the people that need this information as collaborators.


Definitely needs this feature - what a bummer it doesn't allow right now!!

+1 Agree, would use interfaces if I could share a public link. Ultimately would double my usage of airtable overall!


It's quite weird that the interface designer has less features than regular views to share information publicly.

It would make a lot of sense to add such capabilities (and it's blocking me to share my roadmap with my customers)
