Baserow allows you to import data as a new database into an existing workspace within minutes.
If you’re familiar with Airtable databases, diving into a new platform can seem daunting. But, there’s no need to be overwhelmed! There are easy ways to transition.
You need to retrieve your base share link from Airtable.
If you’re unable to find it, see Airtable’s help and support documentation for detailed guidelines on creating a base share link or a view share link.
To import your Airtable base, go to your Workspace
We have extensively tested the import feature with various types of bases and configurations. When you import your data into Baserow, your tables, fields, and data will be imported seamlessly. All the rows in your table will be automatically filled with data.
Airtable views consist of combinations of sorts, filters, hidden columns, and other elements. While most of your data will be imported, there are several aspects of your Airtable database and tables that will not be imported.
There are only minor differences between most of the field types in Baserow and Airtable. To help you manage these differences, refer to the following table:
Airtable Column Type | Corresponding Baserow Field Type |
---|---|
Single line text | Single line text |
Long text | Long text |
