Relationships with External Collections

Roadmap Feature Requests
1

Similar to the use (within Adalo) of external relationships (eg, importing those in Airtable - External Collections - Support Airtable relationships and attachments properties | Voters | Adalo).
This would give the ability to have relationships within Adalo between Adalo items and external collection items.

Use case - bringing in data (say, content) from Airtable or elsewhere and allowing a user to add it to their favourites:

  • new relationship in users ‘external collection item’ (one to many)
  • toggle to add/remove external item from favourites

Yes! This is an absolutely critical feature for me!

Any update?

Same here, my app is based on the user being able to fav items from Airtable content! SOON please :slight_smile:

If I had known I wouldn’t be able to update multiselect Airtable fields or allow my users to see linked fields using Adalo, I never would have signed up.

Florent Alquié: Adalo released a video on this a while back, I’ll admit it’s a bit janky but it gets the job done. https://youtu.be/qL5ywpCOHvI

This was the whole reason I signed up to the paid plan also. Without relationships to external collections, I am not sure Adalo will work for us.

Hey folks! I’m running a team at Adalo that’s going to spend some time seeing what we can do to improve our External Collections feature early next year. I’d love for you to take this quick survey to help us understand how you think External Collections could be better. Thanks! This typeform has moved
