Softr Automation Workflows with Mobile Approval
Run Softr on autopilot. Keep the veto.
21 actions
Softr database and table management runs inside your workflows; Rills queues record deletions, table drops, and structural changes for a human to approve before they execute.
Interactive. No signup. 14 days free · approvals always free.
Most automation fires first, asks later. Rills shows you the change before it ships.
Every consequential development action from Softr arrives on your phone first. Approve in seconds. Decline without explaining yourself. Workflows wait, paused at zero cost, until you decide.

Delete 34 stale records from the Clients table?
34 records · last modified > 90 days ago
No client activity linked to these records
Same pattern as last month's cleanup batch
Free to wait. Free to think.
Approvals and logic don't cost a credit. Pause a workflow for three hours or three weeks. The price is the same: zero. You only pay when something real happens: an AI call, an outbound action.
Approve from your phone in five seconds.
Swipe right when you're sure. Decline when you're not. Between meetings, mid-coffee, on the train. No dashboard to babysit, no inbox triage, and no surprise send you find out about after it's already out the door.
Clear runs stop waiting on you.
Every run is scored against your review step. The ones that clearly match your judgment run above your threshold without a tap; the borderline ones still come to the queue. Autonomy is earned run by run, never switched on for good.
About Softr automation
A table deleted in Softr takes a client portal offline before anyone notices. That's the kind of development debt that builds up when your no-code app runs without a checkpoint.
When Softr runs unsupervised
A single change that slips through can break the portal your clients rely on. The worst part is you don't know until someone complains.
- A record deleted from a table that still shows in client views, breaking the page.
- A table field removed without checking if any views depend on it, hiding data.
- A database update that overwrites existing records with stale Airtable sync data.
- A new record created with a duplicate email that confuses your user management.
- A search result that returns sensitive records because a filter field was deleted.
What Rills does inside Softr
Rills brings approval to Softr automation so you can create, update, or delete records, tables, and fields without watching a dashboard. It polls your tables, proposes the change, and waits for your call before anything ships.
A record still gets deleted or a table still gets updated; you just approve it first.
Why Softr has no triggers and how Rills fills the gap
Softr doesn't emit webhooks when a record changes, so you can't build event-driven workflows natively. Rills fills the gap by polling your Softr tables on a schedule, watching for new or changed records, or by monitoring upstream tools like Airtable for changes that should cascade into Softr.
- Poll Get Records every hour for new entries and propose creation confirmations.
- Monitor Airtable for changes that need to sync into Softr, then queue the Update a record for your approval.
- Check for stale records that should be deleted, and propose Delete Record before they go live.
- Use scheduled Search Records to flag duplicate entries across tables, and propose merges.

Common questions about Softr automation
How do I automate Softr record creation without AI making mistakes?
Rills suggests the record, but you approve from your phone before it touches your Softr database. Nothing gets added until you swipe. Approvals and logic are free; you only pay for real actions.
Can I get a mobile approval before deleting a Softr table field?
Yes. Rills flags field deletions and waits for your call. No field gets removed from your client portal without you reviewing it from your phone. You keep the veto on every destructive action.
How do I set up Softr automation with human approval for table updates?
Rills watches for events in your other tools, then proposes Softr actions like updating tables. You see the proposed change in the mobile queue and approve before it ships. Your database stays clean, no surprises.
Can Rills help me automate Softr search and record updates safely?
Rills can search your Softr tables, propose record updates based on outside data, and queue them for your approval. You review on your phone, approve the ones that make sense, and skip the rest. Your data stays under your control.
How is Rills different from Zapier for Softr?
Zapier runs actions immediately. Rills intercepts them and asks you first. With Softr, one wrong delete or update can break a client portal. Rills gives you a veto from your phone before anything ships.
Why use Rills instead of Make for Softr?
Make automates without a pause. Rills builds a confidence score over time, so routine Softr tasks graduate from supervised to autonomous, but you always keep the final say on anything customer-visible.
Does Rills support Softr webhooks or triggers?
Softr doesn't send webhook triggers. Rills can still propose Softr actions based on events from your other connected tools. You review and approve from your phone before the action runs. Nothing ships unapproved.
How much does Rills cost for Softr automation?
Approvals and workflow logic are free. You only pay when Rills calls an external API or performs a real action, like creating a record or updating a database. No upfront cost, no seat fees, no charge for the stuff you review but don't ship.
