Shared table synced in different bases

[Fernando_Martin]

I intend on recreating my company’s current system in Airtable.

I have two separate departments that share the same customers. How could I create one base for each department but having a shared table of customers? Furthermore, both departments should be able to add a new customer to the shared table on the fly.

Can anyone share ideas?

Sharing a table between bases is easy with the sync feature:

Airtable Sync - Basic setup

Using Airtable Sync, you can sync records from a source base to one or more destination bases.  To set up a sync, you need access to a shared view that is enabled for syncing. You can then use this...

As for adding a new customer, that’s also pretty easy. Make a form view in the source table, and share that form with both departments. The form will add a new customer record to the table, which will then be synced to the other bases.
