Stacker V 5(Astra) - Frequently Asked Questions

PreviousCreating your first AppNextWhat is a Workspace?

Last updated 1 month ago

What is Stacker V4 (Classic), and Stacker V5 (Astra)?

Stacker V4 (Classic) is the previous version of Stacker.

Stacker V5 (Astra) is the latest version of Stacker that was launched publicly in Spring 2024.

How can I tell which version am I using?

Stacker V4 (Classic) workspaces have a thin Workspace bar on the left hand side with icons for each app in the workspace.

Stacker V5 (Astra) workspaces have a wider Workspace bar on the left hand side with icons and text for each app in the workspace.

How can I try Stacker V5 (Astra)?

You can book an onboarding call , or email stackersupport@stackerhq.com.

Does Stacker V5 (Astra) support external data connections?

Not yet.

We've focussed on making sure that we can serve the operational needs of entire businesses as a stand-alone product with the built-in Stacker Tables first.

We know that integration with other systems is critical for many processes: so we've got support for Make and Zapier integrations, and we will have a public API and native data integrations in future.

UPDATE: We now have beta data connectors, please reach out to our support team to find out more about the data connections available.

Does Stacker V5 (Astra) have an Airtable data connection?

Not yet.

We know a lot of existing customers rely on the Airtable data connection. We're planning for this to be available in Astra later in 2024.

UPDATE: We have a beta Airtable connection, please reach out to support for more information.

How can I upgrade to Stacker V5 (Astra)?

Stacker V5 (Astra) has many features that have been completely rebuilt or reimagined, accordingly there isn't a direct automatic upgrade path. There will be manual effort involved in upgrading and some changes to how some features work.

Over the course of the coming months we'll be releasing tools to make transitioning easier, and we'll be available to help customers who are ready transition to formulate their transition strategy.

What is happening to Stacker V4 (Classic)?

We don’t today have a timeline to retire Stacker V4 (Classic), so there is no urgent action required. We’ll be continuing to support Classic until at least the end of 2025. In the fullness of time we do expect Stacker V5 to replace Stacker V4, but this will be a lengthy transition.

We want to be upfront that this new version is a significant upgrade and we’ve taken the opportunity to invest in some of our fundamentals and make a number of not backwards compatible changes. Not all features from the existing version (now called Stacker V4 or Classic) will be supported. We will be making tools to help your business make the transition, which will be available in due course.

If you want to talk to us about this, then or email , and we can look through the specifics for your workspace.

UPDATE: you can sign up . Please feel free to book a call or reach out with any questions!
