Keep Supabase updated with data syncing

Importing a CSV into Supabase is a quick way to get your data into your database without dealing with manual SQL inserts, API calls, or custom scripts, but what if your data is constantly changing? Manually importing CSVs every time your data updates isn’t sustainable.

 Instead of manually re-importing CSVs every time your data changes, use Whalesync to automate the process and sync Supabase with Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion in real time. With Whalesync, you ensure your database stays up to date without the hassle of re-uploading multiple CSVs, making your workflow more efficient and scalable.
