Depending on your setup, data should flow between Firecrawl and Softr (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Firecrawl and Softr
Firecrawl + Softr + Airtable: Firecrawl monitors a website for changes. When changes are detected, Softr's website content is updated. A new record is then created in Airtable to log the version history.
Softr + Firecrawl + Slack: When a Softr website is updated, Firecrawl scrapes the website to detect content changes. If changes are detected, a notification is sent to a Slack channel to alert the team.
