TL;DR:I’m a non-technical cartoonist who built a fully chat-controlled editorial system using Airtable’s API and OpenAI Actions (via ChatGPT Teams). I can manage my entire cartoon workflow—images, captions, submissions, rights, and tagging—just by talking to it. No middleware, no third-party tools. It handles flexible inputs, reads image fields, and edits any table or field naturally. Happy to share details if anyone’s doing something similar.Why I built it:I draw single-panel, black-and-white gag cartoons (like what you’d find in The New Yorker). I needed a way to track and submit work, manage captions, analyze themes, and stay organized across multiple stages of a cartoon’s life. I had no editor or agent—so I built one.What it does:Reads and analyzes cartoon images alongside their captions Tags tone, subjectivity, and humor style Edits any field across multiple linked tables (submissions, rights, cooldowns, etc.) Works from vague or partial prompts like: “Update BalloonBomb’s caption
Hi everyone, I’m setting up a project management base with dependencies between tasks. I have two questions: In some cases, task 2 can begin before task 1 ends, but the completion of task 2 does depend on the completion of task 1. There will simply be some overlap in when both start (e.g. parts of task 2 can be started before task 1 begin, however until task 1 is completed, task 2 cannot be fully done). I have set up the dependency as Task 1 → depends on → task 2. However, this then shows up as an error: Task 1 begins before Task 2 ends. Is there a way around this? What happens when you have some dependencies in the same table that are predecessors and some that are successors? Thanks a lot in advance!
Any plan to launch an Airtable MCP to allow us to manage AirTabLe from CLaude chats as efficiently as we’re currently able to manage Notion from CLaude?
Hi all, Any help would be appreciated on this one. I'm working on an automation in Airtable we previously used Zapier for to try and streamline some self-fulfilling on-demand educational resources. The way I currently have it set up is in one Airtable base, but two separate sheets. One sheet has an external-facing form for people to order course content through, another sheet has the content listed by name, in zip files or individual files. The names match the form exactly, and I have tried two different methods to get the automation to grab the content from the form sheet based on the name: multiple select and link to another record. Any way I do this it provides all or none, and won't search by name. The content is currently fulfilling best in an Attachments field in a zip file as it ranges from PDF documents to videos to PowerPoint files. The actions I'm using are 'When a form is submitted', 'Find Records', and 'Send an Email'. I've attached images of the form and the back
Bonjour mes très chers collaborateurs,Je me nomme Lat Séné. Je suis actuellement en reconversion vers les métiers du no-code et de l’automatisation avec Make.Je viens tout juste de découvrir Airtable, un outil qui me passionne déjà.Il m'arrive de rencontrer des difficultés avec certains types de champs, mais j’ai bon espoir que vous serez disposés à m’aider à les surmonter.
Does anyone know the names of the colors in Airtable? Thank you.
I just tried the new “improved Home Screen”This time, the UX team reached a new level of make things worse. 1. Why do you need this column on the left with so much dead space just for Home Buton, a Help shortcut, Notifications and your profile??? Really Why?Colors tables dont respond to the color base...it is just a light hue of the color you choose. Horrible at least. What is the point of moving the toolbar on the right? what’s wrong with the previous one? Icons, graphics, looks sharper and cleani have to say and create a visually pleasant experience. But Honestly, moving things just for the sake of refreshing the UI< is ridiculous.
Hello! I'm Phil and I'm a Product Manager at Airtable. I'm excited to let you know about some visual design updates we've made across the Airtable product (which some eagle-eyed members of the community may have already noticed!) We released a number of visual updates in the last day with the goal of making it easier and more intuitive for you to build powerful apps that are not only delightful to use but impactful as well. Most of these changes have rolled out in the last day, and here's a summary of what's changed visually:Fonts used for headings in Views and InterfacesIconsButtons and form elementsCharts in InterfacesComments in Interfaces (coming soon)Color palette used for Base headers and Single select optionsThe updates to colors are notable, and I want to highlight why we've made these changes. We adjusted our colors because many of the existing colors are considered "inaccessible" when text is displayed on top of them. This means customers with visual impairments ma
We are looking to reply to specific Slack messages to update product status. While it looks like it’s possible through Slack conversation IDs, I haven’t found documentation on how to set it up. Does anyone know how to do this without an external automation? I checked the following thread from 2 years ago, but it mentioned Make (an external automation tool) - I don’t believe my company will allow such integrations:
I’m struggling with styling in my extension. I can see in the browser Airtable defines over a hundred theme constants useful for styling elements. I want to import these into my own style.css so I can refer to them, but I can’t find a way to do so.I have found useColorScheme() and other ways to access theme constants within typescript, but I don’t want to style everything programmatically. If I want to style in CSS, am I obliged to maintain my own list of constants?
Hello,We are using the “Phone SlackID” field in Airtable and passing its value into the body of a message using the “Slack Send a message” action in an Automation to send mentions.In the “Phone SlackID” field, we’ve set each user’s display name in the format @last.first, and it has been working correctly for almost all users.However, after one staff member changed their display name, they no longer receive mentions. Specifically, @last.first now appears as plain text.Could you please advise us on how to resolve this issue?
We recently updated our AirTable interface to sync directly with our google calendar. We deal with scheduling out many projects across multiple calendars with subcontractors and we use all day events to do so. When I tried to sync our calendars without incorporating times, all of our all-day events were extended out by one day (ex: All Day Event on 7/8/25 in Google Calendar would translate to Start/End: 7/8/25 → 7/9/25 in AirTable when times are excluded). I’m assuming that this stems from Google Calendar and AirTable having different “all day” time functionality. Is there a way to fix this? Here is the result I’m looking for:All Day events syncing from Google Calendar to AirTable exactly as shown on Google Calendar (ex. All Day Event on 7/8/25 in Google Calendar has a Start/End Date of 7/8/25 → 7/8/25 on AirTable) No times in the date fieldPlease keep in mind:We are currently on the Teams plan for our level of permissions. We are not using automations for any of our date creation. We

Please excuse the long explanation..I have a spreadsheet showing some factories producing a number of products. For the sake of the example, let’s assume that the factories are the primary records and the products that they produce need to be split out in to a linked table.So the source spreadsheet looks like this:Factory City Country Product Acme Tools Denver USA Spanners Acme Tools Denver USA Screwdrivers Western Hardware Paris France Spanners China Supply Shanghai China Hammers China Supply Shanghai China Screwdrivers I can create and import this spreadsheet in as a new table called Factory.But I don’t want duplicates in the Factory table. I want to have a Products table that would look like this.Product Factory (linked) Spanners Acme Tools Western Hardware Screwdrivers Acme Tools China Supply Spanners Western Hardware Hammers China Supply This obviously works fine, and the Factory table would only have 1 row per f
