How to View Airtable Charts in Amplify

Here’s how you view the Airtable Chart App in On2Air Amplify.

⚙

The specific integration, On2Air Amplify, in this tutorial is no longer being developed as we focus on On2Air Backups, automated backups for Airtable.

There are 2 ways you can view Charts in On2Air Amplify. You can view charts through a shareable apps dashboard or through the Share app beta.

Note that both ways will require you to create a private Share link for your base. Please determine if you want have Share enabled before proceeding with this tutorial.

Display Charts by Sharing an App Dashboard

Display Charts with the ‘Share App’ beta

Display Charts by Sharing an App Dashboard

You can display Charts in Amplify by creating a shareable apps dashboard. Once you share your base, you can share the apps in it. Then, you can display an entire app dashboard or a single app in Amplify.

First, create your Chart App
Create a URL field type in your preferred table - You’ll add the App URL in this field in the next steps
Add the Block to your Amplify dashboard
Choose the URL field you just created as the Previewable Field and leave the Content Type as Auto-Detect

Create a base share link and enable Show apps added to this base

(Again, please note this will create a shareable link to your base. For additional security, you can restrict access to the app share link with a password or by email domain.)

Open the newly generated Share link

Open your Chart App OR the full dashboard in full screen
Copy the URL displayed in the browser bar

Paste the URL into your URL field
Open the Amplify app and your dashboard with the Record Previewer Block
You should now see your Chart in the block!

Display Charts with the ‘Share App’ beta

If you have the Share App beta enabled in your base, you can display a specific Chart app in Amplify. You can email Airtable support to request the Share App beta. It’s at their discretion whether they give you access.

First, create your Chart App
Create a URL field type in your preferred table - You’ll add the App URL in this field in the next steps
Add the Block to your Amplify dashboard
Choose the URL field you just created as the Previewable Field and leave the Content Type as Auto-Detect

Click the drop-down menu on your Chart App
Click Share App
Click Share app and all tables

(Again, please note this will create a shareable link to your base. For additional security, you can restrict access to the app share link with a password or by email domain.)

Copy the URL given

Paste the URL in your URL field
Open the Amplify app and your dashboard with the Record Previewer Block
You should now see your Chart in the block!
