➡️ What’s Next

We're going to be adding the ability to sync Notion page content :).

📝 TL;DR

Our Webflow Status extension is now in beta. Control the status of Webflow items from Airtable.

✏️ (Beta) Webflow Status Extension

Webflow lets you control the status of an item by marking it as either Published, Draft, or Archived. With our Webflow Status field extension, you can now control that state from apps like Airtable or Notion.

If interested in beta access send us a Slack or an email at hello@whalesync.com.

✏️ Small Updates

Map numbers to booleans

You can now map a number field to a boolean (e.g. Webflow "switch" or Airtable "checkbox").

Show the selected bases on the connection screen

On the edit connection screen, you can now see the base you have connected.

➡️ What’s Next

1. Support for syncing Webflow Memberships

2. Memberstack connector!

📝 TL;DR

Whalesync file hosting is now live for all new bases and is available opt-in for any existing bases.

📁 Whalesync File Hosting

• Airtable announced a change that they would expire links after a certain period of time starting February 9th
• This means that if you're syncing Airtable attachments to a destination that also doesn't host files (e.g. Bubble) those attachments will no longer appear
• To solve this, Whalesync will now host files and ensure they don't expire

• If you are syncing Airtable attachment fields to Bubble or Notion

• Send an email to hello@whalesync.com

📝 TL;DR

We updated the field mapping page to help avoid issues and you can now filter logs/issues by record ID.

🗺️ Mapping improvements 

We made a few improvements to the field mapping page to make it easier to use.

• Shows results of automapping in a blue box
• Displays number of fields mapped for each table
• Shows warnings on certain field mappings

🔍 Search logs / issues

You can now filter logs and issues by record ID to more easily find the log / issue you need.

➕ Request new connectors 

🔄 HTML field syncing

See docs

➡️ What’s Next

• Control the draft/publish status of a Webflow item from a field in other apps like Airtable

📧 Issue Emails

TLDR

The Issues page in Whalesync is where you can any error an app has thrown that is preventing syncing. Whalesync will now send an email to alert you of certain new issues!

Why we built this feature

Issues is one Whalesync's most popular features, giving visibility into sync problems. That being said, previously you only saw sync issues if you checked the Issues page. Many of you told us that you'd like to be notified when new sync issues occur so you can fix the issue more quickly.

How it works

• Whenever a new issue occurs, Whalesync will check if we've sent you an email in the last 24 hours
• If we haven't sent you an email in the last 24 hours, you will receive an issue email with a count of your total issues
• If we have sent you an email, we will not send you another one

What's next

We expect to invest into issue emails and add more features over time. We'd love to hear your feedback on v1!

📝 TL;DR

We opened up the Bubble to everyone! We also had an awesome time at Webflow Conf meeting everyone and participating in the launch of their app store. And lots of bug fixes.

🚀 Bubble GA Launch

Bubble is now officially in GA and available to users on all plans! You can read more about the launch here.

🛒  Webflow App Store

We had to keep this one under wraps for a while, but were thrilled to finally share that we were one of fourteen launch partners for Webflow's new app store! You can check out our new app detail page here and read more about the launch here.

🤝 Whalesync Partner Program

We opened up a partner program for the amazing agencies using Whalesync to make their clients' lives easier! This includes launching our experts page where you can easily find agencies/freelancers in the program :).

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Clean up sync logs copy when no fields have changed
• Lift the two-page limit on sync logs
• Ensure records with reference fields can still be deleted from Webflow
• Fix low-fidelity of base sharing link instructions
• Show an error if Webflow is missing a single select field
• Fix the issue where clicking outside the auth dialog gets you stuck
• Fix resubscribe flow
• Explain why "add a field" is disabled in the UI if disabled
• Fix situation where clicking back in setup flow gets you stuck
• If you switch from a 1-way to 2-way field for read-only, error message should be clear

➡️ What’s Next

A Supabase connector is up next. After that Webflow E-Commerce is coming :).

📝 TL;DR

You can now use Whalesync with Airtable bases that have a password protected base sharing link.

🔐 Password Protected Airtable Links

! Note - this is a completely optional feature !

On Airtable paid plans, they let you add a password to your Airtable base sharing link. Previously this would block Whalesync from connecting to your base.

Now you can use password protected base sharing links by adding that password to Airtable. If you don't have a password on your Airtable base sharing link you can ignore the option and authorize as normal.

📝 TL;DR

When you delete items from Webflow, they will now disappear from your live site without a republish! Sync logs just got much better, our Bubble connector is available in beta, and lots of bug fixes.

✏️ Webflow unpublish on delete

When you sync a delete to Webflow, it will now automatically remove the item from your live site without needing to republish your entire site.

Whalesync syncs all updates as quickly as possible, but previously, Webflow would not remove deletes from their live site. With Webflow's new "unpublish" feature, we were able to change that. Now when you delete a record from Airtable, it will remove it from your live Webflow site without requiring a republish.

🪵 More descriptive Sync Logs

The Logs page in Whalesync gives visibility into the updates Whalesync makes. Previously it would tell you which record changed and what happened (e.g. update, create, delete). 

Now sync logs will tell you exactly what changed! Under the "Impacted Record Edits" section, you'll see which fields were updated, what their old value was, and what their new value is after the sync.

💭 Bubble beta

Our Bubble connector is officially in beta! If you're interested in early access, let us know! Bubble is a pillar of the no-code community, so we're incredibly excited to support it.

We expect to have this live to everyone (in GA) very shortly.

🏷️ Table Tag in Mapping UI

With Airtable, we offer the ability to sync specific views. In our mapping UI, it used to be unclear how to map the entire table. We made that clearer with a table tag.

📝 TL;DR

Our Postgres connector is available in beta and we made big improvements to our interface for mapping tables and fields.

If you would like access to the Postgres connector, please reach out at hello@whalesync.com!

🐘 Postgres Beta

We've been working hard to bring you the power of two-way syncing to a popular heavyweight database: Postgres. Whether you have an existing database for your business/app or you just want to explore the world of SQL, we would love to give you access and get your feedback.

✨ Improved mapping UI

We've launched some big quality-of-life improvements to the mapping UI for tables and fields. These include:

• Automapping on demand
• Better validation, including linked records/foreign keys
• Data type icons for fields
• Easier add/delete buttons
• Saving mapping changes is now faster

🐞 Bug Fixes

Fixes for:

• Sync status could get stuck such that it would look like there were lots of updates never getting processed.
• Linked records/reference fields sometimes would not fully sync.
• When pushing changes to Notion text fields, too many styles would cause the sync to fail.
• Getting logged out of Whalesync too frequently.
• Lots of various UI fixes.

➡️ What’s Next

• Postgres public launch
• Notion page content syncing
• Bubble

Please let us know what you want to see next! You can reach out in Slack or send us an email at hello@whalesync.com. Hope to hear from you soon!

📝 TLDR

We completely redesigned the Whalesync interface to be cleaner, sleeker, and easier to use!

🎨 New Design

Next time you log in, you’ll notice something different about Whalesync. We’ve unveiled a new look and feel! The underlying features are all the same with many of the buttons in the same place. 

So why the update? From the beginning, we've been working to provide a powerful, modern data tool. Put simply, we're building Whalesync to be the easiest way to sync data across all your apps. While much of our focus goes toward shipping new features and connectors, we want every part of our product to reflect our values... including the UI.

Thank you for trusting Whalesync as part of your business or project. We don't take it lightly and we're excited to keep making Whalesync even better.

✏️ Edit Base Name

One highly requested feature we snuck into the new design is the ability to edit your base name.

➡️ What’s Next

We're working on two new connectors... Postgres and Bubble!

If you're interested in beta access, let us know :)
