How it works

Turn your Airtable bases into fully functional Zite apps that your team, clients, or users can access — without paying for additional Airtable seats. Once connected, Zite reads and writes Airtable data in real time, keeping everything automatically in sync. By connecting Zite to Airtable, you can:
  • Create secure portals and internal tools without requiring Airtable seats for every user
  • Add, edit, and update Airtable records directly from your Zite app, with changes synced instantly
  • Display your data using custom views (directories, galleries, dashboards, and charts)
  • Add search, filtering, and sorting so users can quickly find the information they need
