How to Share Tables in Zapier Interfaces

Zapier Interfaces lets you safely share tables so collaborators can edit or view specific data without exposing your whole workspace. This guide explains how to give editing access to a table through Interfaces, set the right permissions, and manage who can interact with your data.

What You Need Before You Start in Zapier

Before you share a table in Zapier Interfaces, check these prerequisites so everything works smoothly:

You must have a Zapier account with access to Interfaces and Tables.
The table you want to share must already exist.
You should know whether people should edit entire records or only certain fields.
Decide if users should sign in or access the table via a shared link.

Once these basics are ready, you can build an Interface that exposes only the parts of the table you want others to work with.

Create a New Interface for Your Zapier Table

The first major step is building or opening an Interface that connects to your table. In Zapier, Interfaces act as front-end pages for your underlying data.

Open Interfaces from your Zapier dashboard.
Click New Interface to start from scratch or open an existing Interface you want to edit.
Choose a layout that fits your use case, such as a dashboard or form layout.
Give the Interface a clear name so collaborators recognize what table or workflow it belongs to.

With the Interface in place, you can add a table component and connect it to the correct data source.

Add a Table Component in Zapier Interfaces

To let others read or edit data, you need a visible table component that points to your Zapier table.

In the Interface editor, click Add block or the plus icon.
Select the Table block from the components panel.
Place the table where you want it to appear on the page.
Under Data source, connect the table block to the correct Zapier table, view, or filtered dataset.

Once linked, your Interface will show rows from the connected table, but you still need to configure editing permissions.

Configure Editing Access in Zapier Interfaces

The core of this process is choosing how people can update table data. Zapier Interfaces gives you granular control over what users can change.

Set Table-Level Permissions in Zapier

Table-level permissions determine whether users can view, edit, or add records.

Select the table block in your Interface editor.
Open the Settings or Permissions section for the block.
Choose who can access the table, for example:
- Anyone with the link (public access).
- Signed-in users only (restricted access).
- Specific collaborators (highly controlled access).
Turn on or off options such as:
- Allow viewing rows.
- Allow editing existing rows.
- Allow adding new rows.
- Allow deleting rows (use this carefully).

Use the least-permissive settings that still let people do their work, keeping your Zapier data protected.

Control Which Fields Are Editable in Zapier

Often you want collaborators to edit only certain columns while others remain read-only.

In the table block configuration, locate the Columns or Fields section.
Review the list of fields displayed from your Zapier table.
For each field, choose whether it is:
- Visible and editable.
- Visible but read-only.
- Hidden from the Interface altogether.
Save your changes once all important fields are configured.

This approach lets you expose only safe fields, such as status, notes, or contact details, while hiding internal IDs, system fields, or sensitive values.

Share Your Zapier Interface With Collaborators

After permissions are configured, you need to share the Interface link so people can edit the table through Zapier Interfaces.

Publish and Get the Sharing Link

In the Interface editor, click Publish or Share.
Confirm any prompts to publish recent changes.
Copy the public or restricted link generated by Zapier Interfaces.

This link opens the Interface page where the shared table is embedded with your chosen settings.

Choose How Users Sign In to Zapier Interfaces

Depending on your security needs, you can choose how people authenticate before reaching the table.

No sign-in: Anyone with the link can view or edit data based on the table permissions.
Zapier account sign-in: Only users who log in with their account can access the Interface.
Invite-only access: Share with a limited list of collaborators or team members.

For sensitive or private data, use sign-in or invite-only options so that editing access is tightly controlled.

Best Practices for Managing Zapier Table Access

To keep your workflows stable and your data safe, follow these guidelines when you share tables in Zapier Interfaces:

Limit destructive actions: Turn off delete permissions unless absolutely required.
Use views for filtering: Create filtered views in your Zapier tables and connect the Interface table to those views so users only see relevant records.
Test with a sample user: Open the published Interface in a private browser window and confirm that permissions behave as expected.
Document instructions: Add text blocks or tooltips in the Interface so users know exactly how they should update records.
Monitor changes: Regularly review table data and activity to ensure updates are correct and authorized.

Troubleshooting Access Issues in Zapier Interfaces

If collaborators cannot edit or see the table as expected, review these common causes inside Zapier:

The Interface is not published or the latest changes are not deployed.
The user is opening an old or incorrect link.
Table-level permissions only allow viewing, not editing.
Specific fields are marked read-only or hidden.
Sign-in or invite-only restrictions are blocking access.

After checking these settings, republish the Interface and ask users to refresh their browser or open the link in a new session.
