Add Content to Your Apps – there are a few ways to add content to your new apps. You can simply create new items in the apps – for example new projects, sales leads, or anything you choose to organize in your apps. Or, if you have existing data stored in a spreadsheet, you can import the spreadsheet into a Podio app using our Excel import tool. You can also enable a webform for your app – for example, if you’ve created a Job Candidates app, you can enable the webform and add it to your website so you’ll get structured information pushed directly into your app for your team to take action on.
