:rocket: Product Updates: Baserow 2.2

Baserow 2.2 is here — build apps with AI, add view-level permissions, and more.

Highlights:

Kuma builds apps now: Describe what you want, and generate full applications with pages, elements, and data
View-level permissions (RBAC): Control access to specific rows and fields using restricted views
Edit rows via forms: Let users update records through secure, pre-filled links
Default row values per view: Ensure new rows match the view’s filters automatically
Data scanner (self-hosted): Detect sensitive values like IDs or financial data
Pin up to 4 columns: Keep key fields visible while working with wide tables
New formula functions: array_unique(), array_slice(), first(), last()
AI field supports multiple files and images: Process multiple files (including images) in a single prompt
Drag & drop in the Application Builder: Move and reorganize elements visually

:money_with_wings: Securex Case Study

Securex built a custom task management tool for payroll advisors with Baserow — without any software developers.

They replaced a spreadsheet-based process with a tailored application used daily to plan work, manage workload, and ensure service continuity.

Results

→ Proactive workload management across the team
→ Real-time visibility into tasks and deadlines
→ 100% adoption by payroll advisors

Instead of adapting their processes to rigid software, Securex built a system that fits how their teams actually work.

Baserow × Power Automate

Use Baserow directly inside Microsoft Power Automate with a custom connector.

→ Trigger workflows from tools like Microsoft Teams
→ Create, update, and delete rows automatically
→ Connect Baserow to your existing Microsoft workflows
