Can I share or connect data between apps?
Updated
by Lesley
Right now there's no built-in option for sharing information or tables between apps.
If you want to share data across multiple apps, you'll need to either use Zapier or our API to share the data.
To show your support for the option to copy share data or tables between apps, vote on the feature request here: Share Database Tables Between Apps.
