Hi there, I’m just wondering if anyone has tested the new Sandbox beta yet? This looks like something that would be really beneficial to us, but having never used anything like it I’m interested to hear other people’s experiences before enabling it. An example of something I’m not sure about is that I will sometimes have to make bulk changes to data when making field changes (eg splitting or consolidating fields), which may still be getting edited in Production while I’m making the changes in Sandbox. Does Airtable do anything to manage this? Looking forward to hearing your experiences. Thanks,Josh

My team’s use of Airtable is growing a lot this year. As we develop new bases, there is basic, teamwide information that is repeated in tables across those bases. For example - locations, events, people.I’ve researched synced tables and feel like I have a basic understanding of how they work. Often, though, my experience is that I learn while building or doing work that a certain feature doesn’t do what I thought it would do based on my research.So I’m just looking for community feedback on this approach - perhaps setting up a base that houses tables with these basic details and then syncing those to multiple other bases. Are there limitations on the way you can use/interact with data that is coming from another table that make this not worth it?
I welcome some quick feedback on my Base / Tables set up. I have multiple projects I manage and after 2 months of using AT I’m increasingly concerned I’m digging a hole based on a flawed setup. Is there a resource for me to get 10-15 minutes of evaluation / input?
Hi Everyone,Hope you can help me out please.I have a table with a client session log adding a new record for each client when they have another session: I would like to be able to show how many sessions each client has had (eg the maximum number of sessions). In this case for Jamie it will show 3.I want to be able to bring the name and number of sessions into a report - Jamie - 3, Siobhan - 2, as a list.Could anyone please help me to generate this field so that I can pull it into a report?Thanks so much for taking the time to look at this if you are able.Kind regards,Siobhan
Hi Everyone,I really hope you can help me.I have a table (Client Session Log) which creates a records every time the client has a session. I’m creating an automation, where a forms is emailed out to the client after Session 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.It works up until the email part. The email address for the client is in the Client Coaching table: This is how I set up the email section:1.2.3.4. I am getting the following error message: I would really appreciate some advice here.Thank you if you have taken time to look at this. Kind regards,Siobhan
In the modern healthcare landscape, administrative efficiency is just as vital as clinical excellence. As patient volumes grow, staff shortages persist, and digital expectations rise, Practice Management Software (PMS) has become an essential part of any healthcare provider's toolkit. In 2025, PMS is no longer just about scheduling and billing it's evolving into a powerful, AI-driven system that transforms how care is delivered and managed.What is Practice Management Software?Practice Management Software is a digital solution that helps healthcare practices manage their daily administrative and financial operations. This includes tasks like scheduling appointments, verifying insurance, handling billing, managing patient records, and generating reports. By centralizing these tasks in one platform, PMS simplifies operations and reduces the burden on staff and providers.Why It’s More Important Than EverThe demand for efficient healthcare systems continues to grow.

Hi all, hoping the hive mind can solve for what I think may be a common use case. Here we go…I have two tables:Table 1: List of records from form submissions. Records are only added to this table. Records are linked to another table with multiple look up fields. We have an automation that when a record is created in this table it finds a record in Table 2 by matching against a unique identifier and updates the lookup fields. If the unique identifier is not matched, the linked and lookup fields remain empty as seen in the screen grab below. Table name is named 1. Onboarding FormTable 2: List of records that is overwritten daily by an external sync. With any given update, records remain, are added to and/or fall off the list so it’s not a situation of “when a record is added” or “enters a view”. Table is named 2. Sync from Volunteer LeadershipObjective: Set up an automation whereby any record in Table 1 where the linked record field is empty attempts to lookup records in Table 2 based o
Stick with me, there is a question at the end of this lol.BACKGROUND: I own and operate a medical records retrieval company. Law firms will hire my company to retrieve medical bills/records on their behalf. They then use said medical bills and records in order to negotiate a settlement with the insurance company on behalf of their injured client.CONTEXT: We currently send hundreds of requests for medical bills/records each month to medical facilities all over the state. Each of these requests typically require us to do follow ups with the medical facility because they are often swamped and under staffed. Often times this process can take weeks or even months to complete a single retrieval. Resulting in us have hundreds if not thousands of pending requests for bills/records at any given moment. So, in order to not lose track of any of these requests, and to ensure we know where we are at in the "retrieval" process for each request, I created private bases for each of m
Hi there,I’m trying to generate an automation email and insert text from a Lookup Field. So the email/name is in one table, and then there are Lookup Fields for the Subject and Content which come from another table. These are visible in the table, but when I try to insert them into the automation they come back as blank. I know the automation works as it already has variable fields inserted which work fine, but I can’t make the Lookup Fields appear in the email. I don’t get an error so I don’t quite know where I’m going wrong. I’m choosing the “Value” option from here. Any help greatly appreciated!

**Subject: How to Protect an Airtable App from Copying and Resale?** Hi everyone, I’m developing an Airtable application and have found a developer to finalize it. However, I want to ensure that they **can’t copy or resell my work**. What are the best practices to: - **Limit permissions** (prevent duplication of the base) - **Restrict access to automation and API keys** - **Secure the app using interfaces** - **Legally protect my project (NDA, intellectual property rights)** If anyone has experience with securing their Airtable setup or has practical suggestions, I would really appreciate your insights! 😊 Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi Airtable team,I've encountered a Unicode-related issue with the “contains” filter in Airtable that leads to inconsistent and unexpected behavior when searching for certain characters – specifically, characters like “ü” stored as composed Unicode sequences.🧪 Reproduction Scenario:I'm importing records from an external API into Airtable. These records include names with the word “Vorzüge”, but the “ü” character is stored as a composed form:u (U+0075) + combining diaeresis ¨ (U+0308) – rather than as a single precomposed character ü (U+00FC).Example records: 📂 Vorzüge record A (with composed “ü”: u + ¨) 📂 Vorzüge record B (with normal/precomposed “ü”) 🧩 Problem: When using the "contains" filter on the field and typing "Vorzüge", only the record with the precomposed “ü” (U+00FC) is matched. The record with the composed form (U+0075 + U+0308) is not found, even though the text appears identical. However, the global Airtable search (e.g., Cmd/Ctrl + K or in-table search) does re
