Ninox Major Release 2.4 ready: Let's INTEGRATE!
Ninox 2.4 is all about integration. Share table views, connect Ninox with hundreds of services using Zapier and use the new REST API to push and pull content from other apps.
REST API**: Read and update data with HTTP REST requests.
- Push and Pull information from 3rd party applications via HTTP call.
- Read and write content stored in Ninox from 3rd party applications via the Ninox API.
- Learn more in the API documentation.
Zapier Integration**: Integrate Ninox with other Internet services using Zapier. Learn more in the API documentation.
Sharing Table views**: can now be shared as public links. Choose from HTML, PDF, Excel, CSV and JSON rendering.
Once shared, all changes in the view done in the database will be updated in the public link.
Table Views in forms: Use the new layout element "View" to embed a table view querying data from other tables.
Charts in forms: Use the new layout element "Chart" to embed a chart in a form.
