I tried going thru the retool quickstart to build a quick retool app to show some basic analytics for my feedback form. I made a Retool Database to store the feedback data, but I want to use that Retool Database within the context of retool app to show the table. How to connect? Can someone give me…

Figured it out. I had to type in the searchbar "Retool Database" since that's the resource object itself. I wish that "Retool Database" resource is a clickable button when constructing query. Minor friction, but was able to build a basic analytics page for my 1:1 service

Hi @Karthik_S,

Closing the loop here - it looks like email notifications were discussed here, and stripe payments were discussed here
