Hey ProductHunt makers 👋 Today, we are excited to share a huge milestone for Softr! 🎉 We are officially launching our Google Sheets integration today. It has been one of our most requested integrations, and this launch lets you turn your spreadsheets into powerful apps, with beautiful frontend, action-packed logic and advanced roles and permissions, just like what you have been able to do with Airtable. And as always, all your apps will display and update data in real time. Our mission has always been to empower billions of knowledge workers to create their own tools, using their existing data from various sources. With the addition of Google Sheets as a data source, we’ve reached the first milestone of becoming a data source agnostic platform. Over the course of this year, we will continue to add more data sources for different use cases like SQL databases, CRM, BigQuery, Rest API and other no-code backends. Over the past year, we’ve witnessed more and more tech companies leveraging Softr to build internal tools. Non-technical teams, such as Operations, Sales, Marketing, HR, and Finance, have built custom apps tailored to their needs in a matter of days and at 1/100th the cost. To help more of you build powerful software, with this new launch, we are also publishing 20+ professionally created and designed internal tool templates for Employee Onboarding, Customer Feedback Management, KPI dashboard, Issue Tracking, Help Desk, Event Planning, and more! 🤑 Our gift for PH makers: 2 months off any yearly plan 🎁 To celebrate our PH launch we're offering extra 2 months off for all of Softr’s yearly plans. Use LETSGOGSHEETS coupon at checkout. You can read more about our future plans here. We would love to hear your feedback, and as always we are excited to see what you build and share with the world! 😍 Follow us for more updates Twitter Linkedin Templates:https://www.softr.io/templates What’s New?https://www.softr.io/whats-new Roadmap:https://www.softr.io/roadmap Enjoy!

As I celebrate my first Softr-versary in just two days, I can confidently say that this product has been a game-changer for me as a No Coder. Over the past year, Softr with Airtable (and now Google Sheets! 🎉) has consistently delivered new and innovative features that have enhanced my experience and made my work more efficient. One of the things that stands out about Softr is the quality of its feature releases. Every week, they introduce new features that are both helpful and practical. This consistent shipping of great-quality features ensures that the tool remains relevant and up-to-date with the latest trends in the No Code industry. But what really sets Softr apart from other lookalikes is their exceptional Customer Support. Whenever I encounter any issues, their team is quick to respond and always goes above and beyond to ensure that all my questions are answered and issues are resolved. Their dedication to their customers is truly admirable. I've also had the pleasure of teaching Softr in my No Code course, and my students simply love it. The learning curve is minimal, and the potential for creating amazing projects is incredible. The tool is so intuitive that even beginners can quickly start building their own projects. In conclusion, I want to congratulate @mariam_hakobyan5, @arturmkrtchyan, @lizzie_lacour, @tommaso_di_stefano2, Aramayis, Andranik, Viktoria, and the entire Softr team for creating such an exceptional product. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to another year of amazing features and outstanding customer support! If you're a No Coder looking for a powerful and easy-to-use tool for Airtable and/or Google Sheets, Softr is definitely worth checking out.

A Google Sheets integration means that software creation is available to a much bigger universe of people! Think non-profits, think students, think social workers, think startups and small businesses! Virtually anyone can now build without limits! This is fantastic!

Alpesh Vaghasiya
do i have to install any other app to do that? does its require to give access of all xls or just one?
Mariam Hakobyan
Maker
@alpesh_vaghasiya2 you don't need to install any other app, it works with your existing Google Sheets (not yet with Microsoft Excel though).
Artur Mkrtchyan
Maker
@alpesh_vaghasiya2 @mariam_hakobyan5 if you need to give access to a single file I would suggest to create an account that has only access to a single sheet and then using that account to grant access.
Alpesh Vaghasiya
@mariam_hakobyan5 @arturmkrtchyan that will be hard as user. We will have account which will have all files access.
Austin Yang
Maker
@alpesh_vaghasiya2 Just to clarify, the Google account you or your team sign in with doesn't have to be the account you connect for the data source. - You can create a Softr account with your main Google account (we don't ask you for file access at this point) - When you want to create an app, just connect a separate Google account (data source) that only has access to specific files in your organization (you can have as many data sources as you want under 1 Softr account).
Glenn McWhinney
Another awesome release and launch by the Softr team. Google Sheets will always have a special place in a NoCoder's toolbox and flows even if they do use Airtable so this is a great move. Thanks a million @mariam_hakobyan5 & co. P.S. love the comedy video 😂

I've already had the opportunity to test the Google Sheets integration, and it works wonderfully. I'm curious to know if you have plans to integrate additional data sources, such as PostgreSQL or ElasticSearch?
Artur Mkrtchyan
Maker
@karen_mnatsakanyan MySQL and PostgreSQL is something we are considering for internal tools use cases.
Jakub Tutaj
@karen_mnatsakanyan Thanks for checking Sheets integration! What kind of apps would you like to build on top of PostgreSQL/ElasticSearch? What more are you hoping to accomplish compared to Airtable/Sheets?
Huy Doan
Love the ideas. Congrats guys on the launch! Does it work perfectly with AirTable as well?
Austin Yang
Maker
@huy_doan_quang Yep! Airtable was our first data source, and it works even better in many ways due to Airtable's native relational database functionalities.
Alex Bernardo
Softr is an amazing Front-end builder for Airtable, and now expands its capabilities to help more users that have data in Google Sheets. With this new approach I don't think GSheets is the best solution for a lot of internal processes.
Mariam Hakobyan
Maker
@alex_bernardo yes, we are long overdue to grow all our processes and tooling beyond Google Sheets! :) Thanks for supporting us Alex!

@alex_bernardo thanks a lot for your support! Can't wait to add more datasources

Congratulations on launching the Google Sheets integration for Softr! The addition of this data source opens up many new possibilities for non-technical teams to create custom apps tailored to their needs. I'm curious, what other data sources are you planning to add in the future?
Austin Yang
Maker
@tjerkienator We have a few categories in mind – SQL databases, BigQuery, and CRM among a few of them 👀

@tjerkienator What data source are you hoping to make use of the most?
