Is there a way to @mention multiple users in a Comment?

Hi, I have a request to set up a “tag” so that users can @mention everyone in a dept. in one new comment. I tried doing this with groups. I created a group made up of 4 users who are all Editors in the base, and gave the group the name “TechGroup”. I would like to add a comment on a record and ‘@TechGroup’ so each member is notified. So, far this doesn’t seem to work. Is there another way to tag multiple people in one mention? Thanks!

converting from filemaker

I am trying to convert an existing solution to airtable, and see some great enhanced functionality. however, there are relationships in my existing system that I am not sure how to appropriately recreate in airtable. For instance, i have a join table that shows several different related tables through a relationship. some of the relationships are many-to-many, and would be created in the main join table. What’s the best way to recreate that in AirTable?Thanks in advance…jesse

Need Help with the script or automation (Multiple Select Field)

Hello Airtable community, not sure it is possible, but Gemini says it is)) but when Gemini gives me the sample script and I adjust it and try to use it, it does not work. Here is what I am trying to do. I have a record (contacts database) where I have a multiple select “Status” for this record. And I have another multiple select “Services” with let’s say “Option A”, “Option B”, “Option C” and “Option D”.When I choose the option “Available” in this multiple select “Status”, I want to the script or automation to limit the options shown in the field “Services”. For example when “Status” is choosen for “Available”, my field “Services” will only display “Option B” and Option D” as an available options to choose from.Anyone thinks you can help me with some advise?

Does anyone have a current script that is parsing any emails beiing received in the new “trigger when email received”. I am trying to parse the body, but I cannot figure out the inputs from the email received.I get errors on all of the inputs. My reason for the inputs, is that the receivedDate didn’t work.// Get inputs from the automationlet inputConfig = input.config();let subject = inputConfig.subject;let body = inputConfig.body;let receivedDateRaw = inputConfig.receivedDate;// Optional: log inputs (for testing)console.log("Raw receivedDate:", receivedDateRaw);console.log("Subject:", subject);console.log("Body:", body);// Parse date string into Date objectlet receivedDate = new Date(receivedDateRaw);// ✅ Function to get the next Tuesdayfunction getNextTuesday(date) { let day = date.getDay(); // Sunday = 0, Monday = 1, ..., Saturday = 6 let daysUntilTuesday = (9 - day) % 7; if (daysUntilTuesday === 0) daysUntilTuesday = 7; let nextTuesday = new Date(date); nextTuesday.s

Does Airtable have an "AI Agent/Teamates" function like Zapier and others?

It does not appear that Airtable has AI Agents that can perform ongoing, automated functions w lots of tasks including web searching for related info? This sems like a huge miss unless I am missing something?

AT community, Yes I have searched and used AI and I’m not getting a good answer on this question. I have a pre-filled form to advertisers. I want some of the prefilled fields to be locked so that the content cannot be change. Has anyone found a workaround for this and be willing to share step by step on how to do it. I’m very new to AT and want to learn!Thank you!

code_challenge in OAuth authorization request response

The Airtable OAuth specification says that authorization request responses will return the same code_challenge that was included in the original request.These docs also say that this value must be verified: The code_challenge parameter you passed in the authorization request. You must verify the code_challenge variable is associated with a code_verifier you generated.From what I understand of the PKCE flow, Airtable's backend (not the client integration) is responsible for validating the code_verifier included in the token creation request from the client. Why does the documentation call for the integration to check that authorization response returns the same code_challenge that included in the request?Also, the official Airtable example implementation does not perform this check: https://github.com/Airtable/oauth-example/blob/a714e68c2610e3249063b3d92faf064bf4c15188/index.js#L94-L137.Any ideas? TYIA!
