## Key features

- **Spreadsheet interface for databases:** Create an online database from scratch or connect an existing Postgres or MySQL database, then sort, filter and group records in a spreadsheet-like grid.
- **Multiple view types:** The same data can be shown as a Grid, Form, Gallery, Kanban, Calendar or Map view, and the documentation also lists Timeline, Gantt and List views.
- **Workflows, scripts and webhooks:** A visual workflow builder with triggers, actions, conditions and loops, JavaScript scripts with API access to a base, and webhooks that fire when records change.
- **Interfaces:** Interfaces are focused apps built on the data in a base, with pages for dashboards, forms, tables and record detail. The cloud Free plan allows 1 interface of up to 3 pages.
- **Roles and access control:** Five roles from Owner to Viewer, with access control at workspace, base, table, field and record level. Row-level security and audit logs are part of the Scale plan.
- **APIs and imports:** Meta and Data APIs give programmatic access to bases, and data can be imported from Airtable, Excel, CSV and JSON files.
