Frequently Asked Questions
What Airtable plan do I need?
You need at least an Airtable Team plan. Airbud uses the Airtable API to read and write data on behalf of your clients, which requires a paid plan.
Does Airbud store my Airtable data?
No. Your data lives in Airtable. Airbud reads it on demand to display to your clients and never copies or caches it.
What does Airbud store?
Your Airtable API key, base configuration, field settings, and client login info (email addresses and login codes). Nothing else.
Is my API key safe?
It's stored securely and only used to fetch your data. We never share it.
Do my clients need an Airtable account?
No. They just log in with their email address — no Airtable account, no passwords.
How does client login work?
Clients receive a one-time code and magic link via email. One click and they're in.
