Do I need an Airtable paid plan, or does the Free plan work?
Many basic automations work on Airtable's Free plan (5,000 records/base, 1,200 automation runs/month). However, for advanced features you'll need paid plans: Pro ($20/user/month) for unlimited automation runs, 2-way sync, and longer script execution. Enterprise for advanced permissions and SAML SSO. Our expert will recommend the right tier based on your automation complexity.
Airtable vs. Notion: Which should I choose for my business?
Choose Airtable if you need: (1) Relational databases with linked records and rollups, (2) Advanced views (Kanban, Gantt, Calendar, Gallery), (3) Robust API and automation capabilities, (4) Form submissions with logic, (5) CRM or project management with complex data relationships. Choose Notion if you prioritize: Documentation, wikis, and knowledge bases with nested pages. Airtable is superior for structured data, automation, and external integrations. Our experts can migrate from Notion to Airtable if you outgrow Notion's database limitations.
Can you migrate data from Excel, Google Sheets, or Notion to Airtable?
Yes! We perform full data migrations with: (1) Schema design to structure your data as linked Airtable tables, (2) Data cleaning and deduplication, (3) Field type mapping (text, numbers, attachments, linked records), (4) Formula recreation using Airtable's syntax, (5) Historical data preservation. For Notion migrations, we rebuild databases with proper relational links that Notion's import tool can't handle. Migration pricing starts at $200 for simple sheets, $500+ for complex Notion workspaces.
Do you build Airtable Interfaces for custom user experiences?
Absolutely! Airtable Interfaces are powerful for creating custom dashboards, portals, and forms. We design: (1) Client portals for external stakeholders to view/edit specific records, (2) Executive dashboards with charts, metrics, and KPI tracking, (3) Data entry forms with conditional fields and validation, (4) Record review interfaces for approval workflows. Interfaces are included in the Premium package or available as a $400 add-on for Standard packages.
Can Airtable replace my CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive)?
For small to mid-size teams, yes! We build custom CRMs in Airtable with: (1) Deal pipelines (Kanban view by stage), (2) Contact and company management with linked records, (3) Activity tracking (calls, emails, meetings via linked tables), (4) Automated follow-ups and task creation, (5) Sales forecasting and reporting dashboards, (6) Email integration (via Zapier/Make). Airtable CRMs cost $0-$20/user/month vs. $50-$150 for traditional CRMs. Perfect for startups, agencies, and consultants who need flexibility without enterprise bloat.
What apps can you integrate with Airtable?
We integrate Airtable with 1000+ apps including: (1) Communication: Slack, Gmail, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, (2) Marketing: Mailchimp, HubSpot, Google Ads, Facebook Ads, (3) E-commerce: Shopify, WooCommerce, Stripe, PayPal, (4) Project Management: Asana, Trello, Monday.com, ClickUp, (5) Forms: Typeform, Jotform, Google Forms, (6) Storage: Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, (7) Custom APIs via webhooks and Airtable's REST API. We use Zapier, Make, or native Airtable sync based on your needs.
Can you build custom Airtable scripts and extensions?
Yes! We develop custom JavaScript scripts (Airtable Scripting) and Extensions for advanced functionality: (1) Bulk data updates and batch processing, (2) Complex calculations beyond formula limitations, (3) API integrations not supported by Zapier/Make, (4) Custom data validation and error checking, (5) Automated report generation and export, (6) Interactive buttons for one-click workflows. Scripting is available in Standard and Premium packages.
How do you handle Airtable base architecture and performance optimization?
For large bases (10,000+ records) or complex multi-base setups, we optimize: (1) Table structure: Normalize data to reduce redundancy and improve query speed, (2) Linked records vs. lookups: Choose the right field type to avoid circular dependencies, (3) Formula optimization: Reduce nested IF statements and use SWITCH for better performance, (4) View filtering: Create indexed views to speed up common searches, (5) Automation efficiency: Batch operations to reduce automation runs and costs, (6) Sync strategy: Use 2-way sync vs. one-way based on data flow needs. We conduct performance audits as part of Premium packages.
