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
hi dear folks, I’m wondering, if I build the Base according to a specific project, once this project has been completed, how could I archive it? For instance, if I start from a Base on “house hunting”, after serval months, when I found the house, literally I shall not use this base anymore, it is no longer make sense to keep it on the workspace as well, and what’s the solution for the archive it in the local disk? Or do I need to archive it? Thanks for any pieces of advice.
Is there a way to export the structure of a table to csv, JSON, etc.? Specifically, I’m looking for a way to export information about a table, not the data itself. Some method that will give me an output like field 2 is long text, field 3 is lookup, field 4 is date, field 5 is single select, etc.
I try to create CSV backup exports of all my bases as often as I remember. However, going through everything manually is a lot of work and leads to “not doing it” more often than not. I wish there was a way to automate this important backup process. Can this be done through an outside service maybe? Thanks in advance!
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.
Hello, I was hoping to get some guidance on what I’m doing wrong in regards to updating the “completed by” field on a salon “shift duties” board interface. My partner built the base/interface for her salon and has asked for help in making the automation work.The goal would be to change the drop-down for each task to “not done” every night via a scheduled trigger.I’ve found a few related topics and used those to guide me but I can’t seem to get past testing the actual record updating part.If I utilize the list of record IDs from the ‘find records’ step, I end up with ‘ received invalid input’ errors.My automation process:Scheduled Trigger → Find Records (Where “Completed By” is any of [all options selected]) → Repeating Action Group (Repeat for each in [List of records]) and → Update Record (Record ID is list of all records found previously - “Completed By” field updated to “not done”)A couple pics of my attempt:I would love to know what I’m doing wrong! 😑Pic of the interface for con
Hi all,Longtime lurker, infrequent poster. This might be a very simple issue, but it’s causing me grief & I can’t find any other posts about it.I have a table with my org’s class schedule (& all associated data) for multiple campuses. This is shared with the org in an interface. I’ve made a few different specific views, but mostly I have our users filter/sort/group the data in a way that suits their various workflows & bookmark the newly generated URL for future use. The customization option works great, and saves me from having to create a million views for all our teams. However, I can’t figure out how to allow users to show/hide fields, like they can in shared views of tables. Examples:Shared table view (with Hide Field option) Shared interface page (no Hide Field option) Is this feature hidden somewhere I’ve yet to find, or is it missing from interfaces?We’re on the Enterprise plan, by the way! Thanks :)
I have two tables, Table 1 and Table 2, with different fields. When a specific record is populated in Table 2, I want the values of some of its fields to automatically appear in a corresponding record in Table 1where the cells were initially empty, based on the primary fields of both tables, I’m calculating a total in Table 1 based on entries into records in several tables and need to have the total in Table1 automatically updated whenever the values change in the other tables. What is the best way to achieve this? IOW, what is the equivalent of XLOOKUP or Index Match in Airtable?
Hi All – I have a large base which essentially functions as a CRM. The first field in the base is “partner name” and the subsequent fields are information about the partner - location, bio, Linkedin profile, etc. We use the base to track engagement and other touchpoints with the partners. I want to build an end-user interface while allows my executive director to input the name of an individual from the base and then have it return a few specified fields. For example, the ED has an end-user interface and is instructed to input a partner name. After inputting the name, the interface returns Linkedin profile, bio, and last-emailed (all fields that we collect and keep up-to-date). I know it’s possible to just make my ED an editor and give access to the entire base but we have 50+ fields and I want an more user-friendly experience. Privacy is not the concern here, rather my ED doesn’t need to see all the fields and details in the base. Is this kind of build possible with an interfa
I'd like to have a changelog, ideally in Slack, that gets added to whenever a base, table, or field is created or deleted, and whenever a field name or type is changed. However, I couldn't find any functionality to allow this. Has anyone found a workaround for it? Thanks!
Hey everyoneMaybe I dreamed this, but I thought I could copy\transfer the layout of one existing Record Detail to another Record Detail.I know I can duplicate an existing Record Detail layout to a new Record Detail layout. That creates a new layout which I want to avoid since I would have to reference the new layout to replace a depreciated layout. And I have a lot of those that I need to clean up. Updating an existing Record Layout by using a different record layout is pretty useful.Is that possible? Was it ever possible? Thanks everyone!
I'm building a base to track volunteer sign-ups for a project. Table 1 stores Volunteer info Table 2 contains available Timeslots When a new volunteer signs up via a form on the Volunteer table, an automated email is sent confirming the timeslots they’re registered for.The issue: When I include a grid of timeslots (using a Find Records step in the automation), all of the times are showing in UTC. I need them to display in EST.Here’s what I’ve tried: I created a formula field to convert the time to EST using SET_TIMEZONE, and also tried A single-line text field that gets updated by a separate automation But when I try to include either of those fields in the grid, the grid shows the correct number of records, but all the cells are blank.Has anyone figured out a way to include times in the correct time zone (EST) inside a grid in an Airtable automation email? Would appreciate any tips!
