Create a Template Using Softr DB as the Backend

I know we can currently create a template using Airtable, but it would be even better if we could create an App template using Softr DB.

Taking this a step further, it would be great if Workflows were part of a template so that we could deploy apps rapidly.

Hi Toby

You can create a Softr app template, check this doc to learn how.

Thanks, @david_mheryan The problem is templates are only for apps using Airtable.

I want to be able to create a template using Softr DB.

Actually I just tested and could create and save a template with Softr DB as a datasource. Please try on your end

Thanks for the update @david_mheryan. I will give it a try.

Just did a quick test and it looks like it copies the app, Softr database (including data), and workflows. Excellent! This is a great time saver. Softr should update their documentation. Thanks again @david_mheryan!
