Possible to filter away non-wanted users from interface dropdowns?

Hi,Is it possible to somehow filter users away from interface dropdowns relying on a "User" field?We currently see both admin users, Airtable support users and some user's older user names in the dropdowns, which confuses people who should choose e.g. next handler for a topic.Rgds,BjörnPS. Related to this topic, would be nice to see user groups in Airtable. That would solve the need above.

Download all file attachments for a record

Hello, Airtable friends! I have a table that has several file attachment columns and many rows. One of my workflows is go through the table and download all attachments for certain rows. It’s been a bit time-consuming to go download the files one by one, so I’m wondering if there’s a way to automate it.Does anyone know of an extension that lets you download all files attached to a given record? (My team and I are flexible on whether that’s a ZIP file, multiple downloads, etc.) If not, does it seem feasible to write a custom block for that? Would greatly appreciate any perspectives on this!

Publicly Hosted Image URL not populating in emails

I have a publicly hosted logo with a URL that I’m adding to my automated email using <img src=” “>. When I generate a preview, it seems to be working correctly: However, once I actually send the email, the logo doesn't populate and just shows the image icon: Can someone help and tell me how to fix this?

Share permission

I have a digital asset management database with multiply artists. I would like to share only one artist’s assets with other people so they can edit on it, and the edit would sync back to my database too. I’m in Team plan currently.The solution I came up with is to create a View with only the data that I would like to share. Then create a 2-way sync and edit to a new base and share the collaborator permission of the new base. But that would require me to update go Business plan.I’m wondering if there’s a workaround with the Team plan?Thanks.

Automation to stop if no records found

This is probably very basic for some of you but I’m new to this … I can’t figure it out. I have an automation that sends me an email of today’s tasks every day 7am. But if there are no tasks, I still get the email, but its an error, as below. Subject: Something went wrong with an automation: Send a daily digest - Airtable Any way to NOT send email if the task list is empty? I have tried conditional actions, (but the only conditions allowed relate back to the trigger - which is time based). Thanks

Severe slowness in automations

Currently, our AirTable automations — configured to react to triggers in specific table fields — are experiencing severe slowness and, in some cases, complete freezing. As a temporary workaround, we have had to manually disable and re-enable the automations.This performance issue is directly affecting users, who now have to carry out their tasks sequentially, one at a time, to prevent multiple automations from being triggered simultaneously. When two or more triggers occur at once, the system often freezes entirely.Most of our automations are related to status changes, which trigger actions like sending emails or inserting records into other tables. Although we have set sufficient conditions to restrict the scope of these automations, performance issues persist.Additionally, there have been instances where, after a system freeze, previously entered data was lost, forcing users to repeat the entire process manually. We would like to understand the possible causes of this behavior and ho

Can't add data on a certain table

Hello guys, this error always comes up when I'm trying to add data using a pop up form on an interface level: Worker responded with {errorCode} for {path}, {action}, {modelClassName} (Please see the First Image)Also when I'm trying to add data manually on the backend, an error message also pops up (please see second image). Both of this are occurring on the same table. I'm the author/owner of the base.What do I do? Thanks in advance!

Creating a Tap in Tap Out system for a coworking space (Webhook question)

Hello! I’m setting up a community coworking space and would like to have a simple tap in/tap out system so we can log who’s visiting the space, how long folks are staying, and how the space is being used. My idea is to use NFC tags with unique webhook payload information stuck on cards that when tapped on a reader near the entrance, a webhook is fired into Airtable with the unique information about that tag. Within airtable we’d then set it to log the taps and workout if someone is ‘in’ or ‘out’ (with the ability to override of course). My questions:Does this seem like the best approach or would anyone suggest a different way to go about it? I’ve searched the forums and aside from some discussion around RFID I haven’t seen anyone talk about setting things up this way. If so, what’s the best way to configure the webhook to fire when the NFC tag is tapped? We’ll be using an office PC with an external reader, and I’m not sure what the best route is to go from ‘tap’ to ‘webhook fired’.Any

Interface embeds: Display records at full width upon expanding + Hide record link button

Hi all,I see that publicly shared interface show record detail pages as sidesheets but not at full width or full screen (even when set to show as full width). Upon closer inspection it looks like airtable have it hardcoded in this class as a style, which is within the overall element, and not at the main embed level so the width for the record details when expanded is always 680px no matter what. Has anyone encountered a similar issue and found a workaround? I also see record link button in the embeds on our website although it is not shown in the interface or in the preview, is there any way through which we can hide that? Appreciate any suggestions if you have faced similar situation. Thank you.

Attach file from script without hosting in a third party site to get an url

I’m wondering if its possible to create a file, encode it and then add it as an attachment. Since the attachment field needs a url the only way for me to do this would be to make an api call from within the script to store the file in an AWS s3 bucket, return that url and then attach. This seems like a huge work around. For now I can just use the raw text field in the text field, if the large text file fits, but for formated xlx files for example this won’t work. Seems like a long workaround just to output a file, is there another way to do this?

Automation of assigning tasks to users in airtable when records are created in softr via API

I’ve just started some work as a freelancer for a company who have an eco system where airtable is the referencing hub for projects. Softr is used to create records linked to projects and the API pushes through the records to sit in Airtable. I’m searching for a way to create workflows easily:Generate automations whereby records that are imported from Softr to Airtable are automatically assigned to people in user groups on a sequential basis to spread workload Create a dashboard on progress for each user and user group to track progress.NB- this is entirely project based and therefore each step must be complete before progression. Thanks alot in advance for your input and advice!
