I find your explanation of the concepts, possibilities and limitations to be very, very clear. Thank you!

[stevenduong]

One of the best app overviews I’ve seen. Kudos to you guys and thank you.

I have a question can I use a complicated spreadsheet as a data source for example our work invoices are done by paper using a form which was built using a spreadsheet. Issue is that it is not simple tables and columns etc and has a lot of text and other stuff which is irrelevant. Is there a way in which I can choose to only work within the the cells of this spreadsheet ignoring all the irrelevant stuff and export it filled in?

What cannot be done with AppSheet changed? SaaS is possible now with enterprise plan?

[pincus]

I made a language translate Appsheet, database using Google sheets, I want to add voice to speak the translated text how do I find that

[AniishAu]

I noticed AppSheet does not have a field data type for audio. Do you have to use file?

[GlennCrytzerMusic]

Why is this recorded in stereo but only in the left speaker?

[ethersecure]

Can Appsheet pre-fill our custom PDF workorder and send it to team members? Would this be done via an API/web hook?

[adulate]

Great job man. I am definitely going to give it a short.

[akjohn]

Great informative information. Thank you.

[bobwatson]

Great explanation of current capabilities.

[csylng]

Hey Stefan, if AppSheet isn't a good option to build a SaaS platform, are there good no-code options that would be better if that's the end goal?

[etcmacommunications]

Where and how can I contact you please.

[lenimaewebster]

Can I make a website and link it to appsheet?

[vecstudio-storytellers]

Great video, thanks for clarifying a lot of things. And I signed up to your site, may consider taking a training.

Quick question.

I want to have my tabular kinda database in AppSheet. Make that database available to clients and send them weekly/monthly entries updated/uploaded into the database by my team into the database. Kinda a mini SaaS, but the only layer exposed to clients are the database, which they can export to a spreadsheet or CRM. Is this possible?

[wagphi]

Thanks for this great explanation. Do you already know, when there will be a Appsheet Rest-API that I can automatically integrate into my Appscript workflow? (Like I can with sheets and slides)

[transitgroupllcmedinany]

Great information, excellent presentation - Can AppSheet send a notification (email) when one of our delivery drivers reach a customers address?

[ethersecure]

Is it just me, or will this only play through the earphone speaker?? How'd you do that??

Hi Stefan,
Suppose I have a key for the API of an ISBN database. What I would like is to inventorize my relatively small book collection at home, by simply scanning the ISBN barcode and letting the external source fill my fields (the usual: title, author, cover photo and year), instead of filling the fields myself. Is that possible? I assume it is, but I am completely illiterate when it comes to integrate an API in an Appsheet app. How strongly am I going to want to kill myself?

I’ve been a user of Smartsheet for 10+ years and a no coder, the communication approach with this video needs review.

You talk about no code required therefore you should angle you communication to No Coder understanding. Using references to coding scenarios, without visualisation, comes across as complex.

This video is a prime example of communication from deep technical vocabulary, which is great, however a Non Coder viewer would still not understand the technical jargon - JSON files etc. The Non Coder I am, this video comes across as technical jargon overload with no visualisation to underpin the information.

Strip it back, keep it simple, review in inherent technical knowledge of the viewer and “a picture communicates a 1000 words” come to mind.

I appreciate your efforts, however this video does not help me understand the capabilities of Appsheet, just that a reasonable, to a lot, of time could be require to evaluate Appsheet for a business use.

I hope this helps, happy to expand on my perspective if needed.
