Hi my name is Jerry. I am not at all new to Airtable but my experience is not particularly broad. I built our Airtable base 8 or 9 years ago and haven’t done any development work on it since. I am not a programmer.My problem:I am creating a package receiving solution for our freight forwarding business. We receive packages, log information regarding that package and place it in the racks for future handling. I am looking for a way to easily add a photo to the package record during the receiving process.The process: A new record is created by scanning a preprinted, barcoded label which is then applied to the package. The scan gun is then used to scan other information from the package such as shipper and tracking number. The customer name is selected from a linked field followed by entry dimensions, weight and comments. Then the box is opened and a general description of contents is scanned into a field from a prepared list on the wall. While we have the box opened we would lik
Hi community I have the following question. I’d appreciate any idea how to active it. I'm organizing my data for AI analysis and need it to be both structured and easy to interpret.To achieve this, I'm grouping the data by a key variable — in my case, Persona. This approach is working well and displays the information mostly as intended.However, one thing is missing: I would like to include a summary row (e.g., a SUM or total row) directly below each Persona group to aggregate key metrics (such as totals, averages, etc.).My question:Is there a way to automatically add a SUM row beneath each grouped Persona to display aggregated metrics for that specific group?
Heya everyone!So I noticed that on the Airtable update API endpoint they note about upserts:Airtable reserves the right to throttle upsert requests differently from the standard rate limit throttling policy.Intuitively, I’d assume that differently means that they’re more strict about it as they’d be doing comparisons on their end.Does anyone know whether upsert is throttled more aggressively than plain updates? I’d assume so but I thought I’d get it cleared up.Thanks!
I have many linked records and lookup tables from one table to another. However, if the name of the source table or field changes, the linked table name or field name does not change. It is now very confusing to know what is actually linked. Is there a way to update names automatically?
I want to create forms to get reviews from some products I sell and for that I have created a Table which consists of the following fields:Product (linked to the corresponding "Product" record in the "Products" Table)Q1Q2...QnI want to be able to send form links with the "Product" field prefilled (using its RECORD_ID), so that the reviewer can easily know which product he/she is reviewing. However, I don't want the reviewer to able to change that value in the form and select by mistake any other "Product" record. How can disable the possibility of changing a prefilled value in a form?I have tried using the option "Limit record selection only in view" to another view, but it is not working.
Hello everyone, I hope you can help me! I am creating an product database for internal purposes. I have created a Softr interface and I want to have a customer chat bot to can answer basic queries such as “Does this product have x feature?” “What is the price of this product” etc… I have managed to create everything with the help of Chat GPT (I can’t code!) but once issue remains, when I try to trigger a database search, it constantly returns with “I can’t find this product”. I have searched the console, it says it cannot access the database because authentication is required and returns an error 401 or 403. I have checked the token, the database ID all and everything is correct, so I am a bit at loss! I am the owner of the database. Hope someone can assist with this, thanks in advance for any advice!
I have a base that is largely used for planning.I have a lot of automations. Often one action sets off a chain of 4-5 automations.Because I use this base for planning, records get deleted often as part of my workflow (i.e. I change my mind).An unfortunate, unexpected irritation with this is that reasonably often, an action will set off an automation > I delete the record before the automation is finished (these are usually simple automations "if Record A Field A = x, update Record B field A" - most are not long and convoluted).And so, I have a significant and frequent number of "failed automation: record not found" emails and notifications.Is there any way to prevent this happening?
Hello, I am new to Airtable and I am looking for a simple solution to this problem if possible. I am looking to be able to upload a PDF into Airtable (it would be 1 page). Once the PDF is uploaded, I would like to extract the title and put it in the name column next to the document in the same row automatically. I know there are software’s out there that can handle this type of thing like Parseur, but the documents might not all look exactly the same (or the titles might not always be in the same spot every time). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
What is a good website to parse data from a pdf into airtable. For example if I wanted to parse info from a rental application (contact info, lease info) into airtable what is the best website to do this
Hi Airtable folks, I’ve got this really fun bookkeeping base I’ve created, which I use in conjunction with Fintable.io (a way to push bank transactions into Airtable – highly recommend!). Since Fintable downloads the transaction names from my bank statements in all sorts of different ways depending on how the banks format them, I wanted to create a formula to extract the Vendor name from when I receive or send money through Zelle. The thing is that this can show up in a variety of ways:ZELLE FROM FIRSTNAME LASTNAME ON DATEZELLE TO FIRSTNAME LASTNAME ON DATEZelle Payment to FirstName LastNameZelle Payment from FirstName LastNameZelle Payment to FirstNameZelle Payment from FirstNameAnd so on… What I’m getting stuck on is how to combine two formulas I ended up creating: one that returns both the first name and last name of the person (but when there is no last name, returns some of the random extra characters after the first name), and one that returns only the first name, whether there
I have an AI automation step creating an summary and searching the web, but after working fine a few times i suddenly got this error: 'Automation failed: failed to access web page via internet' Does anyone know why this happens? Or what i can do to make sure it doesn’t happen?
I have an object that I output from another script using the Output.Set(key: value) method. The value that I’m passing is an array of json objects. It seems that there are a lot of objects to transform the object but I would prefer to just pass the object to my script to iterate over the object and use dot notation to get the values that I would like. I don’t see anything that just lets me keep the object as is and pass it through input.config only transforms or operations like length? Is there no way to pass an array or object??

The bases I create are labeled “External” (even after accepting my Organization's invite) and lack the same functionality as bases created by the Big Boss. Are there currently settings that ensure bases created by users within the organization are internal (and benefit from the functionality associated with our price plan)? Would changing my permissions level from “Creator” to “Owner” make a difference? I guess I’m confused that a user can belong to an organization, yet the bases they create do not. Put another way, in practice, every user other than the Big Boss is individually on the “free” plan and creates only stripped-down “External” bases. I'm told we're in the process of migrating from Teams to Business. Will that remedy this? It doesn't make sense to me that only one person has full functionality, regardless of number of users in the plan. I don't have access to the organization's settings. Are the ones with access simply overlooking something?I appreciate any clarity provided.
