# Display Airtable dashboards with Screenly digital signs


> Airtable is a great way to store, organize, and take action from your data. Display your Airtable dashboards on digital signs with Screenly.

Airtable is like a supercharged spreadsheet — combining the simplicity of tables with the power of a database. Whether you're planning events, tracking projects, or managing assets, [Airtable](https://airtable.com) helps teams collaborate and organize data in one flexible workspace.

With Screenly, you can display your Airtable data on digital signage screens to keep your team aligned and informed.

## Step 1: Get started with Screenly

If you don’t already have a Screenly account, you can [start a free -day trial](https://login.screenlyapp.com/sign-up) with no credit card required. If you already have an account, [log in](https://login.screenlyapp.com/login) and head to your **Screenly dashboard**.

To add a screen:

- Click the **Screens** tab on the left-hand menu
- Click **Add Screen** in center of the web page

For this tutorial, we’ll use a **Screenly Anywhere** screen — which lets you run digital signage in a browser on any smart TV, computer monitor, or web-connected display. Select **Screenly Anywhere** and then navigate to [anywhere.screenly.io](https://anywhere.screenly.io). Next, enter the pairing code shown on the screen.

Give your screen a name like **Test Screen** and click **Add** to link it to your account.

## Step 2: Get your Airtable share link

Next, open the Airtable base or view that you want to display.

- In Airtable, navigate to the specific view (e.g., a Kanban board, calendar, etc.) that you want to show.
- Click **Share** (usually found in the top-right of the screen).
- In the popup modal, click **Share via link**.
- In the new popup modal, click the **Share publicly** tab.
- You can adjust the settings to your liking, but be sure to toggle off **Show extensions added to this base** to remove extra tools from displaying with your data. We also recommend toggling on the **Disable shared base link (read-only)** so that your share link only allows viewing.
- You can then use your cursor to click directly on your link and copy it to your clipboard.

You now have a public link to your Airtable view, and in the next step, you'll add that link to Screenly.

## Step 3: Add your Airtable link to Screenly

Now that you have your Airtable link, you can add it to Screenly.

- In your Screenly dashboard, click the **Content** tab on the left-hand menu.
- Click **+ New Content** in the top right.
- In the popup modal, select **URL**.
- Paste in your Airtable share link and click **Finish**.
- Give your content a name like **Airtable** and click **Save**.

Your Airtable view is now saved and ready to display.

## Step 4: Create a playlist and assign it to your screen

Now that you have your Airtable content saved, you can create a playlist and schedule that playlist.

- Click the **Playlists** tab on the left-hand menu.
- Click **+ New Playlist** on the top right.
- Name your playlist something like **Airtable**.
- Click the **+** icon next to **Content**, and select the Airtable item you added before.
- Click **Done** in the popup modal after adding your content.
- Set the display **Duration** — for example, 30 seconds. If it's the only item in the playlist, it will loop continuously.
- Under **Plays On**, select your paired screen (e.g., **Test Screen**).
- Under **Schedule**, be sure to set the display to before the curent date if you want the content to display immediately.
- Click **Save**.

Now, your Airtable content is live in a playlist and assigned to your screen.

## Step 5: That’s it!

Your Airtable view will start displaying on your [Screenly Anywhere](/anywhere/) screen. It’s an easy and effective way to make important data visible to your entire team — whether you're in the office or distributed.
