This release introduces the Timeline View for visualizing your data over time and Data Sync for seamlessly integrating information from various sources into Baserow. The initial version of Data Sync offers two integrations: iCal feed and Baserow itself.
But wait, there’s more! We’ve also added:
→ Configurable row height: Choose small, medium, or large to adjust row display
→ New webhook types: New options for view and filter creation, updates, and deletions
→ Conditional row update webhooks: Receive notifications only when specific field values change
→ Related row selector: Easily populate link row fields by selecting from thousands of related table rows
And much more!
Timeline view is great, I was looking for something like that to plan family vacations. I was hoping for a bit more flexibility around the start and end dates in the view ( for example , christmas holidays are at december end, but the view seems to want to snap on all of december or all of january).
selective webhooks are great as well, will make wiring things together with n8n simpler. It’s very annoying to have to write “change detection” code, baserow can do it better.
add a 5 day duration after 2024/12/31
how to keep the whole timeline in view ? the timeline view seems to want to show me either december or january.
Also, I’d like to control the min/max date when sharing a timeline view with others.
Ideally the X axis would compress to show me exactly what I want to show in view.
could you please try scrolling horizontally? Shift+scroll or moving the scrollbar at the bottom of the screen will scroll the view horizontally so you can see the dates that you want.

This is not possible at the moment, but I’ll share the idea with the team.
Hi - I’d love to know more about your roadmap for data sync!
I’ve read the docs here: Create a table via data sync , but it seems more like a brief overview, rather than a comprehensive guide (and I think many users could be interested in this)
I will of course also follow these gitlab issues
… but it would be great to have a better understanding of the planned features and built-in possibilities, especially in terms of external API data sync.
What sort of integration do you envision possible with these features?
When could we expect it?
Will this support a “seamless” sync between different self-hosted instances?
Any detailed guides/explanations/forecasts welcome
Hey @dev-rd, I’m back with details on our future plans for the data sync feature. For 2024, we’re planning to release the following integrations:
Jira Issues
Salesforce Customers
Hubspot Customers
GitHub Issues
GitHub Pull Requests
GitLab Issues
GitLab Merge Requests
Zendesk
Sync API
These will be one-way data syncs, so it’s only about getting data from the external source into Baserow.
We currently don’t have plans for external data sync between Baserow instances. However, it’s an excellent idea that we’ll keep it in mind. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Hey @dev-rd, we haven’t thought about this one in much detail yet, but the idea is that you would be able to sync the data with an external API endpoint. You can manually provide the URL, headers, etc. When calling that API, the response must contain a list of objects, a unique ID, and you should be able to map properties to fields. Every object will then be kept in sync with a row.
