Embed an Interface into Softr

[reily]

I am using Airtable and Softr to create a webpage for my nonprofit. One feature that is essential for this app is for the users to be able to edit and view data that is grouped by a particular value (an article's name, in my case). I find it very frustrating that Airtable only allows for views to be embedded, which do not allow inline editing, although they offer interface design which does allow for inline editing, but is not supported to embed. Having flipped through Airtable and Softr community platforms, there have been many requests dating back to over 3 years ago now, with no update. One use said "they don't seem to care". If that is the case, I need to find a new platform because this is an essential feature for the functionality of my page. @dashler78 Can you please provide the community with an expected timeline for this feature, or for an explanation of why it is not offered?

Thank you.

It looks like this is something that might be in the works. They've got a Beta for Business and Enterprise Scale customers that says "creating a public interface page share link allows you to configure embed code". Here's the page: https://support.airtable.com/docs/managing-and-sharing-interfaces

To embed an interface into Softr, a no-code website builder, you can use their Embed Block feature. high speed internet packages Simply generate the embed code for your interface, which could be a form, widget, or interactive element from another platform or service. Then, paste this code into the Embed Block provided by Softr. This allows you to integrate external functionalities seamlessly into your Softr website without needing extensive coding skills.

@Kyrstin_Graves I tested this beta, but it doesn't seem like I could allow for inline editing when I embedded my interface designer into Softr, despite my interface having the setting that it allows for inline editing. Do you know if there is a way to embed it so that I can edit from the website? The interface designer allows to be publicly shared with inline editing, so why would it not allow for that as well when it is embedded in a website?

I've never used Softr, might be a setting on their side. If all of your settings on the Airtable side are set for inline editing, then I'd play around with Softr settings for embedding to see if that's what the issue is. I really wouldn't know more without playing around with both of them.

I hear you—Airtable’s lack of inline editing support for embedded views is a major limitation, especially when building a functional app with tools like Softr. It's frustrating when such an essential feature has been requested for years without progress. Finding a platform that aligns with your nonprofit’s needs might be the best way forward if there’s no timeline or update from Airtable. On a similar note, just like building tailored apps, finding platforms that cater to specific lifestyles is key. Whether it’s casual dating, long-term connections, or niche communities, there’s likely something designed for you—like gilfs near me, which connects people with shared interests. Hope you find a solution that works for your project soon!
