Can you sort multiple linked records inside an individual cell?

Hi Airtable Community,I have an interesting problem I did not forsee when we made a base to track equipment we rent to other contractors from time to time. We have a job (record) where we linked in individual records for different kinds of equipment and now that it has been returned, we need to be able to track and validate it is here. I have the individual records that were added inside an individual cell and it went in how we did it - meaning in no numerical order (we just grabbed a piece of equipment off the shelf, scanned it into the customers record and repeated. The issue with that is the individual records didnt go in in any discernable order. They each have a number, but I can't seem to sort by the record by that number. This creates an issue becuase in order to check the items back in (or rather validate that they made it back here) we have to visually scan through every item in the record looking for the right number. This won't work as it will take too much time as there are

Instituting quality control for AI models in your builds

I wanted to share with the community a practice that we are doing as we start our AI journey for Airtable. It took a bit time to get through our security review but got the green light and we’re off!! Airtable provides a nice selection of models between ChatGPT and Claude. Reading the options some are noted to be “Low Cost”. So we had a few key questions that needed to be answered:Which model performs the best for our use case? How many credits does each model use?Our goal - pick the model(s) that ultimately produces the best results while keeping cost the lowestWe setup a simple Design of Experiment (DOE) once we completed our build and had done some thorough prompt engineering. For our specific use case, our build was to ingest applications that needed to be scored against a set criteria.Build Setup for using AI: 3 fieldsField 1 - Score the application and produce a numeric whole value (e.g. 5) Field 2 - Score the application and produce a numeric value with justification for the sco

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!

Is it possible to be notified in Google Chat, Slack or Teams when "@user" is used in comment/notes

Hello,Quite simple question : today when you mention a user with “@person” in a comment or a note, he/she gets notified by email. Is there a way to route these notifications in Google Chat, Slack or MS Teams ? I’d like to avoid kludge solution like creating a Zap or Make that watches over the mailbox and transform an email received into a chat message, this should flow directly from airtable to one of those 3 solutions, like a setting in the user specific parameters.

Trigger Airtable scripting extension via API / Make?

Hello everyone! We build some Scripts with the Airtable Scripting extension and we’d like to trigger them externally via Make.com / API.Is there any way to achieve this? Airtable Automations are not an option because we are at the 50 Automation limits already (why would you make this limit so low??) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Extract most recent attachment URL from list of attachments

I have a formula field that returns the URLs of an attachment field. If there's only one attachment, it returns one URL in parentheses. But multiple attachments take this form: "File Name 1 (URL 1), File Name 2 (URL 2)".Here is an example: "Screenshot 2023-07-03 141051.png (https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/c53420d1c5692651db4f6c34e5ddc19f/8256aa0b/Screenshot2023-07-03141051.png), Screenshot 2023-06-23 130019.png (https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/1d08cfcdd7ce28fa575f0c20738ae2ea/bc5c5421/Screenshot2023-06-23130019.png)".I want to write a formula that will extract only the URL in the last set of parentheses, no matter how many other files are listed in the cell (or just the single URL if there's only one file). In other words, I want to extract the URL of the most recently uploaded attachment, which is always the last one listed in the cell.

Methods to direct Automation Error Notifications to other users

My Ask: What methods can be done to direct or redirect automation error notifications to other base users.For many of the builds, I create the automations thus all error notifications come to me when an automation fails. From what I read, if I want another user to receive them, they have to be the one that creates the automation and turns it on. I would need them to ‘duplicate’ the automation and delete the original.Most of these errors come with the interactive actions involving ‘humans’. A prime example is when a form submitter does not enter their email in correctly thus a confirmation email does not execute. These are operational details that the person I built it for can handle and address. I hate to be the go between for these errors or do something fancy with my inbox to forward them to other users.Thoughts in other methods or do the duplicate way? We are looking to get Zapier that might be a method toward a solution.

User Management - Groups and Access Control

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

Getting dates right with DST, time zones and scripting blocks

HelloApologies if this has been asked before but I can’t find a solution that works. I have a base where all times should be for UK/London (it is scheduling of spaces in a building), wherever in the world I am I want any date or time entered to be UK time. Thankfully Airtable have now fixed this in the normal UI, but I am struggling to find a way of achieving this for dates entered via a script in a script block (not an automation) - I have an input.text field and can parse the date and time, but currently that time will always be based on the time zone of my browser, not the base. Does anyone know of a good bit of code to sort this out - I wonder if I should use offset. but I worry this would not work for DST?
