How Will The Funding Be Used

The company has announced it’s launching one of its largest feature updates to date, which aims to use the funding to execute on its vision of going beyond no-code capabilities and utilising tools to encourage low-code features and automations.

Airtable Automations

The platforms automations allow users to build custom, automated workflows to generate reports or other repetitive steps. It’s basically Airtables way of cutting out Zapier to automate tasks within the platform.
