Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Distinguish Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox dot-com company Airtable is a cloud collaboration service headquartered in San Francisco. It was founded in 2012 by Howie Liu, Andrew Ofstad, and Emmett Nicholas.

Airtable is a spreadsheet-database hybrid, with the features of a database but applied to a spreadsheet. The fields in an Airtable table are similar to cells in a spreadsheet, but have types such as 'checkbox', 'phone number', and 'drop-down list', and can reference file attachments like images.[1][2]

Users can create a database, set up column types, add records, link tables to one another, collaborate, sort records and publish views to external websites.
