Hi all, has anyone successfully integrated Airtable with an information dashboard application like Geckoboard or Databox? My team dreams of a solution like Panic’s (now discontinued) Status Board, running on top of Airtable data, for display on a 4K TV, likely driven by a Mac mini.
Similarly, what are come recommended alternatives to Geckoboard and Databox, should I have to build the integration myself?
Thank you!!!

I am super interested in this as well. Mainly to find some customizable dashboard apps that can work with Airtable. As much as I like some of the blocks/built in Airtable functionality, having data from multiple bases would be great.
My first thought was just a basic HTML page of embedded bases, but I’d like to think there’s a better option.

In case someone is serious about this, feel free to send me a message. Looking at the developer docs I’m pretty sure I can build a connector for most of these tools. :slightly_smiling_face:

Looking into it more, we may be most interested in an integration for Numerics: https://cynapse.com/numerics/

Looks slick.
Again, I’m pretty sure I can make it work for you in case you’re interested.

Hey all, we have been using Klipfolio and it plays nicely with Airtable. We haven’t tried any of the others suggested here, but I hope you post your experiences - curious about Numeric.

Klipfolio looks interesting, thanks for sharing. Wish they had individual user pricing but looks promising nonetheless (looking for a personal / single user dashboard).

Yep – we use grow.com successfully. Nice interface and TV output options.
What we mostly do is combine Airtable with other data sources there. E.G. Airtable data + AWS data, Salesforce + Airtable, etc.

Oh and @Alex_Wolfe we combine Airtable Bases together in Grow as well. :slightly_smiling_face:
