Working for a client, I have build a process where user creates a new appointment on a calendar. Backend process:
When the record is created an automation is triggered to validate the appointment, based on the process we run. the automation completes in 1,5-2 seconds updating the appointment’s record status.
Frontend process:
After the form submission to create the appointment’s record user see in left modal style the new appointment created and the status fields is empty.
When the automation updates the field on Airtable, the updated value should be visible to the user without the need to re-load the browser again…
Do you have any suggestions about how to fix it, or is it a bug in Softr?
For anyone who’s been building with Softr since the beginning, it’s clear that Softr is not efficient at improving existing essential features and deploying new features at the same time.
Secure user onboarding (ie. Email validation, authentication 2025)
These were just a few requests by many builders here in the community back in 2020-2021!
If Softr’s “Goals” are on implementing Softr’s own Workflows and Tables (“Full Stack”) now, what’s the incentive for Softr to prioritize live updates for all of the datasources it connects to?
So this begs the question @artur, when will live updates fix this longstanding issue and for which datasources?
Update: in a Softr webinar today, Artur stated Smartsuite has live updates and he “expects” them for ALL datasources that Softr connects to by May or June of this year (2025). Let’s see it!
