Populate and Refine Airtable Database and Integrate with Ruddr and Sharepoint

I am with a small consulting firm and we have built a database in Airtable that we would like to populate with data from our historical relational database that is in a tool called Knack and integrate it with a new project management tool we are using called Ruddr as well as with our Sharepoint file system. Please respond if you are interested and a highly capable Airtable developer who can integrate with other apps via APIs.

Using Airtable to create an approval workflow with electronic signatures and PDF generation

If you’ve ever wanted to create an approval workflow using Airtable that includes electronig signatures and automatic creation of PDF files, you could always piece together different tools to make that happen.For example, you could piece together a solution that combines DocuMint or PDFFiller, along with DocuSign and Make. Or, you could combine eSignatures.io with Make.But I wanted to see if there was a way to combine everything together with just one platform, and it turns out that you can do all of the above with just one tool: Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable!On this episode of the BuiltOnAir podcast, I show how to use Fillout to create the ultimate approval workflow for Airtable!Hope you enjoy! If you’d like to hire the best Airtable consultant to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld

Generate document using template that uses formulas to change the data, then send for e-signature?

Hey all,I would like to generate a document using a template that uses formulas to change the data in that document, and then attach that to a contract (populated with information from Airtable also) which is then sent for e-signature.Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?

Hi all, we had developed a nice data base application, but sometime users have limited access to internet, I’m trying to work around this challenge, so one of the Ideas are: Question:Can the final users in the field download the Airtable application on their Tablets and work on the database offline since there is poor or no connectivity at the sites. Then, when they are back in the office can they sync it to the main cloud-based database Ideas: Download the portion of the DB into CSV to the local PC, then updates offline and then upload it back to the DB, however and afraid the users enter wrong information or get confused by the layout. Install or add an extension to the DB but I don’t know which could be to let the users work offline. I will appreciate your ideas and thoughts …

Email notification when @yourself in comment

Hi all, Sadly, when tagging @yourself, you do not get an email notification from Airtable. I was hoping to solve this with an automation. However, I am struggling to set up a trigger that can detect a comment, and further detect a comment where the user tags themselves. Does anyone have any experience with setting up email notifications when a user tags themselves? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Custom colors for field / column headers!

I wrote a Tampermonkey script to allow us to customize the colors of the field headers!(Tampermonkey lets you install scripts in your browser to customize and add functionality to a site, in this case, Airtable! https://www.tampermonkey.net/)To use it, you'll need to set up the exact field IDs and colors that you want those fields to be in this bit: const colorMap = { "fldI5EIoOG25a85F7": { r: 255, g: 224, b: 204 }, "fldxj4ka7M2FwkJAP": { r: 207, g: 245, b: 209 }, "fldAPHkUW98PsaZV3": { r: 255, g: 234, b: 182 } };  For the colors, just google 'Color Picker' and a bunch of options will show up (when I did this Google actually popped up its own Color Picker actually)For the field IDs, right click the field header and click 'Copy URL' and then paste it somewhere, and it'll look something like this: https://airtable.com/appbvEVTtJoARHXPM/tblkT2pj3Ouz1wQRQ/viwKoIZQGVZEAfOap/fldI5EIoOG25a85F7That last bit is what we're looking for 'fldI5EIoOG25a85F7'---Let me know

Can you sort multiple linked records inside an individual cell?

Hi Airtable Community,I have an interesting problem I did not forsee when we made a base to track equipment we rent to other contractors from time to time. We have a job (record) where we linked in individual records for different kinds of equipment and now that it has been returned, we need to be able to track and validate it is here. I have the individual records that were added inside an individual cell and it went in how we did it - meaning in no numerical order (we just grabbed a piece of equipment off the shelf, scanned it into the customers record and repeated. The issue with that is the individual records didnt go in in any discernable order. They each have a number, but I can't seem to sort by the record by that number. This creates an issue becuase in order to check the items back in (or rather validate that they made it back here) we have to visually scan through every item in the record looking for the right number. This won't work as it will take too much time as there are

Other Questions

Is it possible to be notified in Google Chat, Slack or Teams when "@user" is used in comment/notes

Hello,Quite simple question : today when you mention a user with “@person” in a comment or a note, he/she gets notified by email. Is there a way to route these notifications in Google Chat, Slack or MS Teams ? I’d like to avoid kludge solution like creating a Zap or Make that watches over the mailbox and transform an email received into a chat message, this should flow directly from airtable to one of those 3 solutions, like a setting in the user specific parameters.

Trigger Airtable scripting extension via API / Make?

Hello everyone! We build some Scripts with the Airtable Scripting extension and we’d like to trigger them externally via Make.com / API.Is there any way to achieve this? Airtable Automations are not an option because we are at the 50 Automation limits already (why would you make this limit so low??) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Methods to direct Automation Error Notifications to other users

My Ask: What methods can be done to direct or redirect automation error notifications to other base users.For many of the builds, I create the automations thus all error notifications come to me when an automation fails. From what I read, if I want another user to receive them, they have to be the one that creates the automation and turns it on. I would need them to ‘duplicate’ the automation and delete the original.Most of these errors come with the interactive actions involving ‘humans’. A prime example is when a form submitter does not enter their email in correctly thus a confirmation email does not execute. These are operational details that the person I built it for can handle and address. I hate to be the go between for these errors or do something fancy with my inbox to forward them to other users.Thoughts in other methods or do the duplicate way? We are looking to get Zapier that might be a method toward a solution.
