Hi guys, I am on the business plan of airtable and it shows that i can add 125,000 records in airtable.But when i try to upload the cvs file containing 95k records, it shows me only 45k.I tried to divide it into chunks and add it but still nothing, deleted the base and tried again, still nothing.Whatever i do, it shows me 45k records only.

Hi everyone,I’m using Airtable to manage a large inventory with lots of photos attached to records. When I ry to share pictures.I have two questions:Permanent URLs: Is there a way to get a permanent/public URL for each photo that won’t expire? I’d like to use the photo URLs in Google Sheets/Excel and potentially share them with others. Bulk download: Is there a simple way to download all the photos from an Airtable table at once, ideally preserving the original filenames and/or linking each photo back to its Airtable record?I’m looking for a solution that doesn’t require downloading each photo manually.Thanks!

Overview: I have a base that tracks Email Build requests for our developers with users that work across multiple time zones. I’m looking to add reporting on lead time, comparing ‘Created Date & Time’ to ‘Due Date’.Base Setup: Tickets are submitted via form, which captures Due Date on a calendar - this doesn’t ask for a time, so Airtable seems to default to covertly storing the time as the moment that selection was made, in GMT. All other times are currently set to show in the users’ own time zone, but I can standardize that to Pacific if needed. An automation populates the Created Date & Time of the ticket.Need: I’m looking to report on the lead time, but the Due Date should not be counted as a workable day, so I would like that date to always default to 12:00 am (or 00:00:01). The output should be shown in Hours, not Days, as the SLA is 72 hours and that’s not being adhered to. I first worked through this with ChatGPT and I wound up creating a formula field called Due Date Mid

Hi there, We have trainees who begin with us starting throughout the entire year however we notice if the trainee’s start date is September the academic year tag that is put on that student's position is academic year 2025 - 2026 instead of 2026 -2027. Is there a way within our automations/formula to change how that tag is put on trainees' positions?  Thank you for any help you can provide! Best, Mackenzie LaChance 

Hello,I linked Table A.field5 to Table B. Table B contains several fields: field1, field2, field3, etc.I changed Table B.field3 to make it the primary field and hid all the other fields. Unfortunately, in the dropdown menu for Table A.field5, all the fields from Table B still appear.I also tried creating a view, but I get the same result.My question is: is it possible to limit which fields from Table B are displayed in the dropdown?Thank you for your help ( i am a beginner)

Hello,I’m new to Airtable and still learning, but the automations I’ve set up so far have already made my life much easier.I’m currently stuck on setting up invoicing. I have three clients—A, B, and C—and each client is assigned a different services package. For example:Client A: Package 1 Client B: Package 2 Client C: Package 3The packages and their pricing can vary by client. I’d also like to include a discount field that I can adjust manually when needed, although discounts will only be used occasionally.At the moment, I have the client details in one table and the services and pricing in another. All invoices need to be issued monthly on the 1st.I’d like to automate the process of creating PDF invoices and sending them out. Could someone please advise me on the best way to set this up in Airtable?Thank you, and apologies if my explanation isn’t clear.

I’m having an issue with an Airtable automation where the same record occasionally triggers the automation multiple times even though I only expect one run per change. This results in duplicate actions being performed and makes it difficult to keep the workflow consistent.The trigger is based on a record being updated. Some records cause the automation to run twice unexpectedly. The duplicate runs happen intermittently rather than every time. There are no intentional loops or duplicate automation steps in the setup.Has anyone dealt with duplicate automation runs like this? What should I check in the trigger configuration or record-update logic to prevent the same change from being processed more than once?

Hi AirTable Community,I’m looking for a simple vocabulary or terminology cheat sheet for Airtable that defines core terms like bases, tables, fields, views, records, interfaces, automations, etc.Does something like this already exist—either from Airtable or from the community? Ideally something that could help new users quickly understand the platform language. Thanks! Rebekah

Hi there, We created a view for a dashboard that is a calendar that populates who is ending on what date throughout the month. However, now we would like to add an additional button where we could click it, and an automated email will go to the trainee and the mentor 30 days before the end date is to make sure they are actually departing on that date. How would we start building that? 

 I’ve been experiencing glitches/slowness whenever I try to work with the Find Records step within an automation. I try to insert a dynamic value (blue plus icon) for either Record ID or as value for the selected field, and the page freezes, and I have to check back in later for it to sometimes work. I’ve been experiencing this for many months, and across different bases, and I was wondering if this is something that others have also faced with the Find Records action within the Automations tab!

Our PMO+ session on Project Execution and Workflow Design today was a great one! Thanks to everyone who joined live and to ​@RuddConsulting for the awesome demo.Here's what we covered:How to structure projects vs tasks, with standard fields that scale across teams Flat vs hierarchical task modeling, and when subtasks are worth it Status design that reflects real progress at a glance Ownership and dependency tracking that keeps blockers visible early Templates that balance consistency with flexibilityMissed it live? Check out the recording below. Take a look and drop your questions or your own workflow tips in the comments.See you at the next one! 

There are many many frustrations since we’ve upgraded our Airtable, there are seemingly low level tasks that Airtable and Omni is unable to do, yet it boasts being able to build an entire base. Extremely annoying. I just wanted to list a few here.Why can we restrict record selection on an interface for clients on a linked file but not on a single or multiple selection? Why can’t we put a prompt into Omni to hide or show columns? This is very helpful if we need to add a same view to other like bases but it’s not able to hide or show columns?  Why can’t we copy an interface and then change where the linked data is coming from? This is a HUGE problem that was misrepresented by Airtable. We thought we could make a linked base, and link the views so that all our clients could use this linked base. Only to find out I’d have to manually set up each interface one by one, over and over again because Omni does not work, and the option to change where the data is pulled form is greyed out PORTAL

Hi there,Long text fields can - as the name says - have a lot of text in them. In an interface, the field just extends to the full amount of text. This is very difficult to scroll then. Could there be a scroll bar added?The AI long text field does already have the scroll bar, great!Happy to see it on the “normal” long text field soon!Best, Chris

We’re back with another Airtable Nonprofit Community builder session on September 30 2026! This time, we’re looking at impact measurement and a challenge I’ve seen in a lot of organizations: the Theory of Change exists, the data exists, but outcomes, programs, indicators and evidence often live in different places. During the session, we’ll build a practical system that connects those pieces, so your Theory of Change becomes something your team can actually use to track progress, learn and report. We’ll look at how to connect outcomes, programs, indicators and evidence, bring quantitative and qualitative data together, and turn the framework into a practical Airtable system. If you work in impact, programs, M&E or nonprofit operations, would be great to have you join us. Register here 👇https://airtableevents.com/build-impact-measurement-09-26 And if you’re curious what these builder sessions are like, here’s the recap and recording from our last session, where we built a donor rep

In the “Grid View” in the app (on Ipad), where the submitted data is displayed, I don’t seem to be able to control font size. It makes the app relatively useless for my intended purpose (see screenshot below).System-wide font size adjustment on the device makes no difference in the Airtable app (same problem on Iphone). Is there any way to adjust font size?I noticed i don’t have this issue on Android, where system-wide font size adjustment works in the Airtable app! 

Thanks to everyone who came out to Backstage >> Creative Ops on Airtable this evening.The point of the event was to get beyond polished demos and look at how creative-production systems actually work // the workflows, constraints, handoffs + judgment that sit behind the finished output.Huge thanks to ​@Conor_O_Brien and Noelle McHenry for opening up their own work, and to everyone who jumped into the discussion. I also shared a deeper look at asset-pipeline-ASK, including image generation inside Airtable and the architecture of creative intent.Really appreciated the mix of creative ops people, builders + operators in the room. The conversations between the presentations were as useful as the presentations themselves.And thank you to ​@GCheung + the Airtable Community team for making the night happen at Mosaic.Would love to keep the conversation going here // if you were there, share what you’re building, what problem you’re trying to solve, or anything from the night you want to

I have been struggling for two weeks to set up a portfolio of projects in Airtable. I have a product that has multiple features. Those features have several projects each.I’ve completed all the training videos. None of them addressed this. I attempted to use the Project Portfolio Management template but it seems to be driven by the project goals which aren’t important for my team as we are not the product/project owners so have no need to track. I also don’t need to track at the task level--just the overall projects status, when sign-off and hand-off occur and, if possible, the status of Jira stories associated w/ each. Read an Airtable article regarding one or multiple bases. Didn’t really get me any closer. Any recommendations on how I should proceed?
