Stackby
· #352 most-usedYour spreadsheet-database — now with an agent that writes back
Stackby is a collaborative database platform that wraps spreadsheet familiarity around relational power — rows, typed columns, 30+ built-in API connectors that enrich cells directly from Clearbit, Hunter, or any external provider. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can append records, delete stale rows, list filtered datasets, read individual cells, and manage entire stacks — all triggered by real-world events like a new inbound email or a closed deal, no manual entry required.
Eliminates manual work. Eliminates the copy-paste cycle of moving data between Stackby and the tools that feed it — CRMs, spreadsheets, chat — by having agents read, write, and sync rows the moment source data changes.
What your Stackby agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Stackby × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Turn inbound support emails into logged Stackby tickets
When a support email lands in Gmail, the agent reads the sender's details and the issue body, creates a new row in your Stackby Support Requests table with priority and category pre-filled, then posts a Slack card to the support channel and books a follow-up calendar slot — all before a human has opened their inbox.
