Agilebase platform blog: recent updates

agileBase now works with zapier.com to enable easy one-click integration with hundreds of other cloud services, including accounts packages like Xero and Quickbooks, email marketing apps like Mailchimp and a multitude of others. What this means is that if you’ve got data in agileBase, you can quickly set up a pipe to automatically send new…

At this time, everyone’s making predictions for the coming year and it’s good to see that many are relatively positive. Witness – radio 4’s programme earlier today predicting increasing economic activity, worldwide health and further political progress in the middle east – the Financial Times’ upbeat review of British manufacturing (‘ahead of the game… a…

The next couple of videos in our quick tutorial section are ready, on charting and mapping. Displaying selected visualisations in a KPI dashboard will be covered in later videos.
