Cannot recommend it enough - as valuable as Airtable and weblow alone imo.

Frequently asked questions

Yes! Whalesync offers true two-way sync. Unlike most apps that offer one-way syncs in two directions, Whalesync actually keeps your data in sync bi-directionally. Update data in one app and see it instantly to sync to the other (or vice-versa).

Instant updates means that Whalesync syncs data as fast as it can rather than on a timed batch (e.g. once every 5 minutes). As soon as we see a change in one app, we'll send the update to the other. This means a single record syncs in a matter of seconds instead of minutes.

If data can't be synced (e.g. a required field is missing), Whalesync will alert you on the Issues page. This alert provides the exact error from your destination app and any other info that will help you fix the issue. In the meantime, Whalesync will continue to sync all data that doesn't have errors.
