Datatomically

Everything you need to build, organize, and automate your business data.

Introduction

Datatomically is a no-code database platform that combines the simplicity of a spreadsheet with the power of a relational database. You organize data into bases, which contain tables, which contain records.

Each record has one or more fields — typed columns that define the structure of your data. You can view the same table through multiple views like Grid, Kanban, Calendar, and more.

New to Datatomically?

Start with a template. Head to the Templates page and pick one that fits your use case. You can always customize it after.

Quickstart

Get your first base running in under 5 minutes.

  • Create a workspace

    After signing up, you'll land in your workspace. A workspace holds all your bases. You can rename it from the workspace settings panel.

  • Create or import a base

    Click "+ New Base" to start from scratch, choose a template, or import a CSV from Airtable, Excel, or Google Sheets.

  • Add fields

    Click the "+ Field" button in the column header to add a new field. Choose from 20+ field types including text, number, select, date, and linked records.

  • Add records

    Click "+ Add record" to add rows. Click any cell to edit inline. Press Tab to move right, Enter to move down.

  • Invite your team

    Open workspace settings and click "Invite members." Set their role: Editor, Commenter, or Viewer.

REST API

Every base in Datatomically has a full REST API automatically generated. You can use it to read, create, update, and delete records from any external system.

Automations

Automations let you build event-driven workflows without writing code. Each automation has one trigger and one or more actions.

Creating an Automation

  • Open a base and click the Automations tab in the toolbar.
  • Click + New Automation.
  • Select a trigger (e.g., "When a record is created").
  • Add one or more actions (e.g., "Send an email", "Post to Slack").
  • Enable the automation and test it with a sample record.

Available Triggers

  • Record Created — fires when any new record is added to a table
  • Record Updated — fires when a specific field changes
  • Condition Met — fires when a record matches a filter condition
  • Scheduled — fires on a time-based schedule (daily, weekly, cron)
  • Incoming Webhook — fires when your automation URL receives a POST request
