Hi my name is Jerry. I am not at all new to Airtable but my experience is not particularly broad. I built our Airtable base 8 or 9 years ago and haven’t done any development work on it since. I am not a programmer.My problem:I am creating a package receiving solution for our freight forwarding business. We receive packages, log information regarding that package and place it in the racks for future handling. I am looking for a way to easily add a photo to the package record during the receiving process.The process: A new record is created by scanning a preprinted, barcoded label which is then applied to the package. The scan gun is then used to scan other information from the package such as shipper and tracking number. The customer name is selected from a linked field followed by entry dimensions, weight and comments. Then the box is opened and a general description of contents is scanned into a field from a prepared list on the wall. While we have the box opened we would lik
I am trying to use Airtable and Softr to create a page with fund applications for individuals so that I can track which year a fund was applied for and what its status is (ongoing, granted or rejected). It is important that each fund is presented on individual lines through Softr. If you look at the picture, that is how I want it and managed to do it with Google Sheets and Softer. But I am having problems with Airtable. Does anyone have an idea how I can do it?
Hi all, Is it possible to prevent the creation of record under certain condition during form submission?Like upon button click, there will be a check against the database for certain condition and throw back error message.
I have an object that I output from another script using the Output.Set(key: value) method. The value that I’m passing is an array of json objects. It seems that there are a lot of objects to transform the object but I would prefer to just pass the object to my script to iterate over the object and use dot notation to get the values that I would like. I don’t see anything that just lets me keep the object as is and pass it through input.config only transforms or operations like length? Is there no way to pass an array or object??
Hi, I’m trying to build an event management board. Some of my events are recurring, but the current date data type does not allow multiple ones. Do you have a best practice for it? One way I’m thinking about making a separate date table, and link the event with the dates. But the calendar view looks odd for this date table, as it use dates as the primary id and does not allow me to display big event name on it. Also, I don’t know how to filter the ‘date’ data based on conditions in the event table. i.e. if I want to only show the dates where the event has been confirmed. Wonder if you have better options? And if yes, please show me!! If not, how to make my current date table better looking?
Hi, wonder if I can relate data in different workspaces. Or it will be completely separated?

Hi community I have the following question. I’d appreciate any idea how to active it. I'm organizing my data for AI analysis and need it to be both structured and easy to interpret.To achieve this, I'm grouping the data by a key variable — in my case, Persona. This approach is working well and displays the information mostly as intended.However, one thing is missing: I would like to include a summary row (e.g., a SUM or total row) directly below each Persona group to aggregate key metrics (such as totals, averages, etc.).My question:Is there a way to automatically add a SUM row beneath each grouped Persona to display aggregated metrics for that specific group?
Heya everyone!So I noticed that on the Airtable update API endpoint they note about upserts:Airtable reserves the right to throttle upsert requests differently from the standard rate limit throttling policy.Intuitively, I’d assume that differently means that they’re more strict about it as they’d be doing comparisons on their end.Does anyone know whether upsert is throttled more aggressively than plain updates? I’d assume so but I thought I’d get it cleared up.Thanks!
I have many linked records and lookup tables from one table to another. However, if the name of the source table or field changes, the linked table name or field name does not change. It is now very confusing to know what is actually linked. Is there a way to update names automatically?
Hello everyone, I hope you can help me! I am creating an product database for internal purposes. I have created a Softr interface and I want to have a customer chat bot to can answer basic queries such as “Does this product have x feature?” “What is the price of this product” etc… I have managed to create everything with the help of Chat GPT (I can’t code!) but once issue remains, when I try to trigger a database search, it constantly returns with “I can’t find this product”. I have searched the console, it says it cannot access the database because authentication is required and returns an error 401 or 403. I have checked the token, the database ID all and everything is correct, so I am a bit at loss! I am the owner of the database. Hope someone can assist with this, thanks in advance for any advice!
Hi Airtable folks, I’ve got this really fun bookkeeping base I’ve created, which I use in conjunction with Fintable.io (a way to push bank transactions into Airtable – highly recommend!). Since Fintable downloads the transaction names from my bank statements in all sorts of different ways depending on how the banks format them, I wanted to create a formula to extract the Vendor name from when I receive or send money through Zelle. The thing is that this can show up in a variety of ways:ZELLE FROM FIRSTNAME LASTNAME ON DATEZELLE TO FIRSTNAME LASTNAME ON DATEZelle Payment to FirstName LastNameZelle Payment from FirstName LastNameZelle Payment to FirstNameZelle Payment from FirstNameAnd so on… What I’m getting stuck on is how to combine two formulas I ended up creating: one that returns both the first name and last name of the person (but when there is no last name, returns some of the random extra characters after the first name), and one that returns only the first name, whether there
