Hi there, I run an auto detailing business by myself and I am trying to create a booking system so my customers can automatically book a detail without having to message me. I have three different locations that I operate out of, and I would like for them to be able to choose the location and time. Here is the tricky part.. I cant be double booked, so I need to find a way to limit this.. Any help is appreciated I currently have two tables set up, Appointments and services. All fairly basic stuff. Thanks
Good day. I’m looking to add or rather hard code the time 6:00am as shown int the automation field below: How might I go about doing this? Currently it brings in the date, but it changes a bit. For example it’s specified as 7/21/2025, however what it changes it to is 7/20/2025 5:00pm Here’s the automation:Would there be some way to “tack” on the hard coded time 6am or would I have to create yet another field to do that? Eventually this will be used in a Workato Recipe, and they’re more buggy. Thanks!
Hi all,Regarding the new UI changes, I really dont care very much about new buttons disposition, but changes in appearence colouring have been a downgrade in my PoV.The new Light appearance is extremely Light, and the Beta Dark mode, in my POV, is currently not good enough (contrasts, especially with coloured dropdowns are not good yet).Boxes marked in green used to be filled in predetermined color (in my case, green), but now it has been changed all to white. Couldn’t find a way to change that with the current UI changes.If someone knows how to, please let me know. Thanks!
I am a photographer and cinematographer. As such, I have innumerable external drives with images and clips on them. Each drive has a top level file ‘listing.txt’ that has the entire folder structure, down to each filename. This can have tens of thousands of lines. I want to create a base that lists all of my drives and has ‘listing.txt’ as an attachment. Easy. BUT!!! I want to make the base searchable, so if I type in ‘badger’, the base will return the drives that have a file or folder that contains the word badger. Can I make the listing.txt file searchable? Or, do I need to break it up into 100000 character chunks and have numerous long text fields. (I have tried unsuccessfully to do this - but I don’t really know what I am doing!). Insights welcomed, and thanks in anticipation,Roy Dunn
While building a custom interface in Airtable, I wanted to display smaller images—something like a profile picture in a small circle. But I noticed there’s no way to resize the image component. It either shows up full-size or doesn't fit the layout the way I want.Is there any possible way?
Hello,Did Airtable change how they duplicate bases recently? It seems that when duplicating a base, it uses the same table ID and View ID from the original base. This broke my API that updates/inserts table metadata to my database by table ID as well the API that fetches table metadata by table ID. Disclaimer: The bases here are all just test bases so there is no real information stored in there.Before, when duplicating base, the table ID was also changed as seen in the screenshot below. These bases was duplicated around May last year.This is the original base This is the duplicated base (please note that the base ID, table ID, and view IDs are different from the original)Now, when I duplicate a base, it changes the app ID but doesn't change the table ID and view ID anymore as evidenced in the screenshot below. These bases have been duplicated at the same date of this post's writing.Original baseDuplicated base (only the app ID was changed)I'm well aware that the solution wou
I like to know what others are doing to have better organization of managing their users against workspaces, bases, and interfaces, specifically within their organization. I have built a number of apps amongst different departments. We have not decided to turn on enterprise hub yet for our enterprise account but we do have SSO. However, I think using groups would be useful as a growing community of users is developing. I’m a little clunky with using groups and will need to a lot of clean up. Structurally this is how I’m laying it out:Workspace per department Product owners of the Base have creator access only at the Base NOT at the Workspace level (Reasons - within the department could have multiple products not meant for other team members thus at the Workspace level gives too much control) Groups - Product owners are Group ManagersMy logic in what I’m thinking to do:At the Base level manage access for creators only Instead of inviting people directly to the base or interface per a pe

Hi all,I’m looking for a MiniExtensions expert with deep knowledge of the platform’s portal capabilities.The goal is to create a kind of shopping-style experience, where different users can see diferent items options and varying availability/quantities based on a complex matrix/profiles.I’m seeking looking for advice and guidance about what's possible and whether we should look at a different tool. I have intermediate understanding of ME and have build several portals before.If you have experience setting up advanced MiniExtensions workflows. I’d love to connect.
Hey all.I have a table that has a “status” or “level” for users. The idea is to have the formula update an unique status/level with the year, e.g.,CONCATENATE(Select," - ",YEAR)SO what I’d need is Gold 2024, Gold 2025, and then when the year with a formulat: (YEAR(TODAY()) updates, we’ll have 2026 and so on.Unfortunately, with a formula right now, 2024 cannot be created. Perhaps an Automation that updates this based on year(today()) ? Any ideas?
Hello! I am looking to create a database that is similar in structure and function to the “Brand and compliance checker” demo in Airtable’s AI Playbook (https://www.airtable.com/ai-playbook/brand-and-compliance-checker)Instead of brand guidelines, I am using different scenarios and their criteria to analyze real estate records. I have 2 tables. One is the property data (similar to the “Product Shots” table in the video) and one is the scenario/criteria table (similar to the “Brand Guidelines” table). In the properties table, I have a single column for each scenario (similar to the “Brand Check” fields in the demo) that the AI will resolve to either “Yes” or “No” depending if the record matches the criteria. I would like to know the best and most straightforward way to link the tables or instruct OMNI to reference the specific criteria in the scenario/criteria table when checking the data. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Hello!I have a question regarding the batch_upsert method in the pyairtable library.Does batch_upsert update records even if the incoming data is identical to what's already stored in Airtable? Specifically, will the “Last Modified Time” column be updated in such cases?Example usage (python):table.batch_upsert(records=batch, key_fields=key_fields, typecast=True) From my testing, it seems like some records are not showing an updated timestamp, even though they were included in the batch. I'd like to confirm if this is expected behavior.Thanks in advance!
I put in a ticket but haven’t gotten a response, was just wondering if anyone knows why I might have lost access from n8n, i’ve tested both oauth and personal access tokens, ensured the permissions are all granted, tried new n8n airtable nodes, tested old and new credentials, and added money to my airtable subscription since it started while I was on the free plan. Every airtable connection regardless of which type of authorization yields:403, { "error": { "type": "INVALID_PERMISSIONS_OR_MODEL_NOT_FOUND", "message": "Invalid permissions, or the requested model was not found. Check that both your user and your token have the required permissions, and that the model names and/or ids are correct." } } Node version2.1 (Latest)n8n version1.95.3 (Cloud)Anyone have a theory I might test to get access again?
