I’m looking for a way to allow users of a Softr app to upload a CSV or Excel file and import the contents into one of the Softr DB tables.
According to the Softr website, this feature should be available as they are talking about it on several pages of their website (e.x. here and here). Searching the help docs and forum posts, I can’t find a way to achieve this within Softr. Some older posts in this forum mention the feature to be available later.
Did anyone find a way to actually achieve this without using 3rd party services?
Hi there. Currently, Softr does not support allowing end users of your app to upload a CSV or Excel file and have the contents imported directly into an existing Softr database table.
You can import data from a CSV file into Softr databases, but this action is only available to app builders (not end users) and will create a new table rather than add records to an existing one. End users can only add data using the “add record” action button or form block, there is no built-in feature for bulk import by users.
As a workaround, you may use third-party automation tools like Make.com to enable this functionality.
