Airtable + Zoho Writer Integrations

There are many kinds of writing software available in the market for writers to create their writings. Some of the writing software are like Word, Google Docs, Scrivener and so on. Among them, I am going to compare Airtable and Zoho Writer.Airtable is a database management system (DBMS. that enables you to set up tables of data and then organize and analyze the information however you like. It is similar to spreadsheet programs. The main difference is that Airtable also allows you to add metadata to your records, such as tags or comments, so that you can more easily organize and find your data.Airtable is widely used by organizations such as Adobe, Airbnb and Amazon Web Services. It is an online software, which means it runs on cloud and you need not install it anywhere. It is available in any of the mobile devices with internet access.Zoho Writer is an online word processor that offers convenient collaboration features along with a comfortable interface for typing documents of various sizes. You can choose from different templates based on your necessity. You can also use it as a content manager to store and edit your files with a single click.You can create, collaborate, and securely share documents on the web or just about any mobile device using Zoho Writer's intuitive user interface. With its simple drag-and-drop interface you can upload files from your PC or Mac, email files to yourself, add images from the web, and share links to your existing documents.It also has an option for offline editing and sharing of documents which is really helpful when you are travelling or don't have any internet connection.

Integration of Airtable and Zoho Writer

When it comes to integration between two software, the first thing that comes to my mind is the availability of each software in both systems. For example, if we want to integrate Airtable with Microsoft Word then we should have Microsoft Word installed on our systems but for integrating Zoho Writer with Airtable, we only need internet access and nothing more required.In case of Airtable, there are many ways by which we can integrate it with other software. For example, we can integrate it with Google Docs. This will allow us to combine the features of spreadsheets with documents. We can even embed an Airtable table into Google Sheets. But to do any such task we have to have a knowledge of coding as well as programming languages because all these tasks are handled by scripts which are written in language like Javascript or Python which are commonly used for website development along with few other languages too. Now let's go through some of the steps involved in integration of Airtable and Zoho Writer:

• First of all open your Zoho Writer account by visiting https://www.zoho.com/writer/ then click on "Open Document" button located at the top right corner of the page.
• In this step we need to sign in our Airtable account at https://www.airtable.com/login . Let's suppose that we have created a new Airtable account at the time of writing this article so it will be looking something like this:
• After successfully signing in our account we will be able to see our Airtable dashboard which will look something like this:
• After opening the dashboard we can see that there is a plus symbol located at the top right corner of the screen, click on it and click on "New Table".
• Now here we will be asked to choose a template for our table but before choosing any template we should have a clear idea about what kind of table we are going to create and how it is going to be used so that we don't face any problem later on while using it. Now let's suppose that our table contains information about employees working under us so in this case I am going to choose "Employee Directory" template which looks like this:
• After clicking on it we will be able to see some columns in our left hand side column which we will be able to customize according to our requirement:

7. Here we can see that there are three types of column in our template:Header columns . These columns contain information about different fields such as employee name, department name and so on in our template. To make changes in these columns we have to click on edit icon located at the end of each column and change values as per our requirement:Meta-data columns . These columns contain information which doesn't directly appear in your document but which you can use while creating or editing your document such as comments, attachment name etc. To make changes in these columns also we have to click on edit icon located at the end of each column and change values as per our requirement:Standard columns. These columns contain information which directly appears in your document like employee id, phone number etc. To make changes in these columns also we have to click on edit icon located at the end of each column and change values as per our requirement:8. After making changes in fields mentioned above now we have to click on save button located at the upper right corner of the page and after saving our table we will be able to see our newly created table on left hand side column of our dashboard:
