Updated 5 months ago

As part of Simpplr's app tiles feature, we offer several out-of-the-box app tiles your org can set up on home and site dashboards. The article linked below gives an overview of how app tiles work, permissions around setting them up, and various requirements. 

Setting Up Out-of-the-Box App Tiles on Dashboards

 

This article explains the Airtable tile.

Note:

The Airtable integration is built on the Bring Your Own Integration (BYOI) framework, offering the following key benefits to customers:

  • Extensibility beyond pre-built use cases – In addition to the existing pre-built app tiles, customers can extend these integrations by building custom API actions and custom app tiles tailored to their specific needs.

Bring-Your-Own-App support – For OAuth-based apps, scopes and permissions can be controlled at the connector level. However, for user-level connections, data access remains restricted to the permissions individual users hold within the external apps, ensuring flexibility and security.
