Tuesdays with Tadabase - February 3rd 2026

:hedgehog: :placard: We’re starting this month off right with the groundhog seeing his shadow. Winter’s officially on notice, and we’ve got some sunshine to share in this week’s update :sun:.

:toolbox: Our engineers have added:

:inbox_tray: Import Records: Create parents on the Fly.

You already import records fast.
Now you can go one step further.

When importing child records that connect to a parent table, you no longer need to stop if the parent record does not yet exist.

Example
You’re importing Tasks that connect to Projects.
Some Projects already exist. Some do not.

With this update, you can:

  • Match imported records to existing parent records
  • Create missing parent records during the same import
  • Define the new parent details before completing the import

All in one flow.
No prep work.
No second import.
No cleanup afterward.

This is especially useful when:

  • Importing tasks tied to new projects
  • Importing contacts tied to new companies
  • Importing orders tied to new customers

This update makes large, relational imports faster, cleaner, and far more flexible.

:roller_coaster: API Playground Coming Soon:

We’re always looking for ways to make Tadabase’s advanced functionality easier to use. That’s why we’re building an API Playground that will let you visually construct REST API requests using an intuitive, guided interface.

For each request, you’ll be able to see and configure all available options, such as choosing to return field names instead of slugs, making it easier to build, test, and understand API responses :backhand_index_pointing_down:.

Add advanced filtering:

And much more. You’ll be able to save your API requests and even export them as a reusable library, making it easy to use them wherever you need.

Our goal is to keep this fully aligned with the latest API details and make it a single source of truth for all your Tadabase API usage.

:locked_with_key: API Control for Backups and Restores

Enterprise plans now include full API access for backups and restores.

You can now:

  • Trigger backups via API

  • Trigger restores via API

  • Monitor both using new logging endpoints

This makes it easy to automate safety workflows, integrate with external systems, or build custom recovery processes.

Every backup and restore is now fully traceable.
Nothing happens silently.

:sunset: Sun’s setting on this one, Tadabasers. Happy building and see you next week! :palm_tree:
