Build web apps on top of SmartSuite

Create interfaces, control user access, and ship production-ready apps

You can connect directly to SmartSuite tables, retrieve records, and build custom interfaces that go beyond SmartSuite’s native views:

• Read and display SmartSuite records in lists, tables, and dashboards
• Create, update, and delete SmartSuite records from WeWeb forms
• Filter, sort, and search SmartSuite data dynamically
• Use SmartSuite fields in conditions and logic-based workflows
• Secure access control and authentication flows
• Build multi-page apps instead of fixed views
• Combine SmartSuite data with other APIs and services

What WeWeb supports natively

Why use WeWeb with SmartSuite

SmartSuite is designed to organize and structure business data. WeWeb is built to turn that data into fully custom web apps.

Perfect for:

• Client portals connected to SmartSuite project or account data
• Internal dashboards for operations, sales, or finance teams
• Custom CRUD apps for managing structured business data
• Admin tools with role-based access and permissions
• External tools that expose selected SmartSuite data to users

And more…

Integrating SmartSuite with WeWeb

2. Add SmartSuite as a data source
3. Paste your SmartSuite API token
4. Select the workspace and tables you want to use
5. Create data collections and bind them to your UI

Best practices

• Be mindful of SmartSuite API rate limits when triggering frequent updates
• Use filters and pagination to avoid loading large datasets at once
• Keep table structures consistent to simplify frontend logic
• Test write operations carefully when updating or deleting records

FAQs

1. How do I connect SmartSuite to a WeWeb project?

You add SmartSuite as a data source in the data/plugins section and paste in your SmartSuite API token and workspace ID. Once saved, SmartSuite appears as a selectable source when you create data collections.

2. What can I fetch from SmartSuite inside WeWeb?

You can fetch records from specific Solutions and Tables (Apps) as collections. Each collection returns an array of records whose fields you can bind to repeaters, tables, cards, or detail views.

3. Can I create and update SmartSuite records directly from WeWeb?

Yes, the native integration supports creating and updating records using SmartSuite as a live backend. Typical patterns include using WeWeb forms to add new records or edit existing ones and pushing those changes back to SmartSuite.

4. How do filters and pagination work with SmartSuite data in WeWeb?

You can configure collection‑level filters and pagination settings so the UI only shows a subset of records at a time. Those filters can be driven by user input (search fields, dropdowns) to provide interactive views on SmartSuite data.

5. How is authentication handled between WeWeb and SmartSuite?

Authentication is handled via the SmartSuite API token and workspace configuration stored in the data‑source settings. End‑users never see the token.

6. Can I mix SmartSuite data with other backends in the same WeWeb app?

Yes, SmartSuite collections can be used alongside REST, SQL, Supabase, or other sources. WeWeb’s data‑joining and formula tools let you combine SmartSuite records with data coming from other APIs or databases.

7. What are the main limitations of the native SmartSuite integration?

The integration is aligned with SmartSuite’s REST API, so its rate limits, permissions, and field types apply.
