Automations To Paste When Base Is Copied

Hey guys,Is there any plans to make it so that when someone copies a base from a public share link, that the automations also get copied across?I create a bunch of systems and templates for people to try and get them in to using Airtable but this is big limitation when it comes to offering these types of solutions as the automations are really a big part of any system.Is this going to be possible at any point or is there a good workaround at all?

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.

How to add a table to an interface

Hi everyone!I have created an interface to keep me organized, and one thing I would like to add is a table that would function like the data side, just within the Interface. For my specific example, I have various groups I invite to events, and it would be helpful to have a table with the group name, group contact, and then a checkbox for when I’ve contacted them. My interface is a “Record Review” interface.Does anyone know how I can achieve this? Any help is appreciated!

Outlook Email Automation Limiting to 25 Emails per 24 Hours

I have an automation set up with an Outlook email action that runs into errors after sending 25 emails successfully. When I run it at least 24 hours later, it will send another 25 emails. However I keep having to push the rest of the records that need emails sent to the following day. What is the term for this specific limit I’m running into with Outlook’s integration? Is there a way around it or to disable it?

Repeating group - error on one script doesn't generate error for automation

I have a script that is using a repeating group to batch process a couple of records sent through output.set() If one of the scripts fails it doesn’t seem to register that error in the overall automation. See image below, individual script failed, overall automation is giving me the green light. I noticed that the script wasn’t behaving correctly on some records but having the script not throw errors is potentially dangerous as problems stay hidden.

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?

Airplane working OFFLINE

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!
