Cast your vote on Softr + Baserow integration 🗳

We are exploring the interest of our users to integrate with Softr, one of the leading no-code application builder platforms.

Want Softr to be powered by Baserow? Tell us if this integration would be useful to you by spending 3 minutes of your time filling out this short survey: Product Research Survey - Baserow.

If you don’t know what Softr is, here is a short video for you to check :point_down:

Thank you all in advance for the help!

Hello @tobymurdock, @pratik, @bastien — you all mentioned that you are the Soft users, so this post might be very interesting for you to check :raised_hands:

Thanks. I have submitted the Survey

Thanks Pratik, your input is highly appreciated :blue_heart:

I’m very interested in evaluating various nocode tools, I hadn’t heard of Softr, but the ones that caught my attention are BudiBase, UIBakery. For those who have researched nocode platforms, which ones come out on top ? I think pretty much all of these can be adapted to use Baserow if you’re willing to do some wiring with the REST API, the difficult part would be integrating user accounts.

@HiramFromTheChi’s is one of the best no-code enthusiasts I know. In this blog post, Hiram shared what no-code tools he uses the most often. @lucw I strongly recommend you to check out this interview (my favorite about the no-code industry :blush:): How I built my Career with No Code Tools: An Interview with Indie Hacker, Hiram Núñez // Baserow.

Thanks for the shout @olgatrykush :slight_smile:

@lucw There are some other no-code tools in my wheelhouse which you may want to explore (and which I link to in the blog post Olga provided): Stack | Bootstrapping & building in public | Hiram Núñez

Pory, for example, is probably the most similar tool to Softr in that it allows you to build a frontend by using Airtable and Notion as your backend.

But to your point, you can probably integrate Baserow into many others if you have the technical know-how.

This would be great and would save me having to make my own tool for it :slight_smile:

where are we on this project @olgatrykush ? Softr just shipped a new integration with Smartsuite.

Hello @bastien, it all depends on Softr, as they would need to integrate Baserow.

@bastien New data source/integration: Baserow - Data Sources - Softr Community

Hi
I know this is an old thread which has gone dormant but my query is relevant to the topic.
So, we have recently built an app on Softr to onboard customers and track projects. And we want to add a few more dashboards to it. The data for these largely resides on Baserow.

Over the past few days we have tried to connect Baserow via Rest API option in Softr but have failed. We keep getting a 401 or 404 errors. Unsure where we are going wrong.

The API docs are quite detailed and easy to understand on Baserow but on Softr that’s not the case. This makes it quite challenging for people (like us) with no-coding knowledge to make the Rest API route work. So, it would help many like us (who prefer baserow to airtable as their backend) if there is detailed step by step guide on linking Baserow To Softr via Rest API.

Have made a similar request in Softr community but later read a few posts there pointing to the reasons Softr might not be keen on Baserow integration. So, if anyone with knowledge of Rest API can dumb this process down for us, it would be very helpful.

Thank You

Hi @German :wave:

Unfortunately, we can’t do anything about the Baserow integration with Softr since that needs to be done on their end. However, I can forward your request for a tutorial about connecting Baserow through Softr’s REST API option to our education team. I’ll keep you updated on the progress. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @olgatrykush,
Thank you, a tutorial would be of great help.

An update,
Have finally managed to link a couple of Baserow tables via API. But unable to get the required data.
So these are our column headers :point_down: in Baserow.


But the only options we see in the Softr are - count, next , previous, results in the dropdown which is used to connect the required data for that block.

So The API has connected and the JSON is showing me that all the required data is being pulled but its not breaking down the data.

These are the ‘Get’ URL’s we used :point_down:
https://api.baserow.io/api/database/fields/table/{table id}/
https://api.baserow.io/api/database/rows/table/{table id}/?user_field_names=true

This one :point_down: to pull specific rows was throwing a 404 error. So we didn’t use it
api/database/rows/table/{table id}/{row_id}/?user_field_names=true

What are we doing wrong?

Hey @German, have you seen this thread: Updating Cell Data with Baserow's REST API? It seems like you have a similar issue :thinking:
