Spreadsheets… who doesn’t love them, right? Well, unlike me, some people don’t enjoy them but unfortunately have to work with them. What if there were an easier way to do it? Something more intuitive or mobile? Something you can distribute without worrying that a formula might get edited or deleted altogether? Well, AppSheet might just be the next best thing!
What is AppSheet?
We, as people, have noticed a shift toward mobility; we don’t need to be in the office 24/7 since there’s an app for almost everything. However, most solutions out there, though valid, are often too broad and tend to be generic rather than tailored to our specific needs.
Appsheet is a no-code platform that allows you to turn your existing spreadsheets into custom web and mobile apps that you can share with your team, making data entry 100x easier.
How does it Works?
AppSheet connects directly to your data, whether it’s Google Sheets, Excel, SQL, or some other cloud database, so you can leverage the data you already own.
Once connected, you can create custom forms for easy data entry and display your data in various view types like tables, decks, dashboards, and maps.
Deck type view
Allows users to visualize data with a title and some aditional info that you can choose
Form type view
Allows users to input data to you database
Map type view
Allows users view locations/coordinates along with important info.
Collect and view you data
After a user has submited a form, this entry is added to your database, making data collection easier and more intuitive.
Creating bots for Automation
Let’s say everytime you create a new record you need to send an email, a sms, create a report, etc… Appsheet enables easy automation with no-code or low-code tools to do just that.
You have various options:
- Tasks: Define individual actions
- Processes: Organize tasks together
- Bots: Tie all together by monitoring data eventes and triggering processes on specified conditions
Together, Tasks, Processes, and Bots make AppSheet automation customizable, enabling you to build complex, rule-based workflows without code.
Is it free?
Yes, you can explore the entire platform and test your apps with up to 10 users at no cost.
You can also subscribe to one of their ties that you can find the details here.
