If you’re using Airtable to streamline your projects, you already know how powerful it is. But did you know that Airtable extensions improve your workflow? With the right add-ons, you can automate tasks, visualize your work, and seamlessly integrate with your favorite tools—all without writing a single line of code.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through the 13 best Airtable extensions to increase productivity and build a better Airtable experience. Whether you want to improve project management, data visualization, or automation, these extensions can help you save time and get more done.

What are Airtable extensions?

Airtable extensions extend the functionality of your Airtable base by adding extra features or integrating with external apps. These add-ons allow you to extend your workflow within a base, making it possible to do things like:

  1. Generate dynamic summaries,
  2. Import information from other sources,
  3. Engage with external services or
  4. Create custom, real-time interactive features directly within your base.

Unlike Airtable integrations, which primarily focus on syncing data between Airtable and third-party applications, Airtable extensions do much more. They give you new ways to interact with your data, whether it’s through advanced visualizations, language translations, or real-time messaging.

13 Airtable extensions you should try

Now that we’ve covered what Airtable extensions can do, let's examine the top 13 options to help you automate your workflow and improve your Airtable experience.

From automation to real-time collaboration, these tools are designed to help you get more done in less time.
