A record can change on screen the moment it changes in Airtable — no refresh, no waiting.
A web page is a snapshot. The moment it loads it starts going stale — and a visitor staring at an old price, last week's availability, or a status that flipped an hour ago has no idea. The usual fixes are a refresh button nobody presses or a polling loop that hammers your data source.
VibeKit pushes changes instead. With its button or automation hook in place, an edit in Airtable travels over a live connection straight to every screen showing that record — no refresh, no polling, no waiting for the next visit.
Live records, live lists
Detail pages get live single records: edit the row in Airtable and the page updates in front of whoever is looking at it. Grids get live lists, so collection views stay current too. Your agent wires both in the same way it wires any other read — it just stays connected.
Fast by default, instant when it matters
Most lists refresh gently in the background, which keeps big lists fast — visitors always get an immediate page, and updates arrive quietly behind it. But some changes cannot wait. Mark a list as high urgency and VibeKit pushes each record's change straight into the live list as it happens. The classic case: an event sells out, and both the listings page and the detail page flip to sold out right away.
Your users' sessions are live too
Login sessions ride the same stream. Edit a user's row in Airtable and their session in the app updates; remove their row and they're signed out automatically. Your base is the access list, enforced in real time — see Airtable auth.
Push and pull, together
Live data covers the changes that must land instantly. For everything else, cache control lets editors refresh a record or a view with a button inside Airtable itself — so your site stays fast, and you choose how fresh each piece of it needs to be.
Record-level security
Every request only ever returns the records that belong to the signed-in user — enforced on the proxy, not in the browser.
Request logs
Airtable keeps no record of individual API calls. The proxy logs every one — who called, what they read or wrote, and when.
Media caching
Airtable attachment links expire. VibeKit's don't — your photos stay up.
