Hello Airtable experts,I've noticed the following issue and would, of course, like to resolve it. Maybe you have a solution for me. I have some interfaces set to grid view because I import data from Excel using copy and paste. However, I've noticed that the page is very sluggish in grid view. When I switch the page to list view, it runs smoothly.Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I can see that Airtable offers 50% discount on subscription to educational institutes on Team plan. Is the same discount applicable for Business plan and enterprise plan also? ++ is the discount also applicable for portal subscription?

Hi everyone,We’re a creative/production agency and over the last few years we’ve progressively evolved from using Airtable as a simple operational tool into building a much deeper internal management system.Today we have an ERP-style workflow in Airtable for Purchase Orders: Purchase Orders (POs) Invoice receptions Payment tracking Approval/payment status flows Linked operational and financial information The system is working well operationally, but now we’re trying to solve the next layer:connecting our Airtable PO system with the Google Sheets budget file of each project.Each project has its own Google Sheets budget where production teams manage budget allocations and spending. What we want is to create a bridge between: structured financial/operational data in Airtable and the budgeting workflow inside Google Sheets Our goal is:when someone imputes/allocates an expense in the budget sheet, that expense should always be linked to an existing PO from Airtable.We’re currentl

Hi everyone,I'm having an issue with group sorting in a Grid view. I have two tables: Murals and Announcements. The Announcements table has a linked record field pointing to Murals, and my view is grouped by that linked field.The problem: When I set "Order groups by" to any date-based field (lookup or formula), the groups don't sort correctly by date. The groups seem to ignore the sorting criteria entirely.What I've tried:Using a Lookup field (type Date) from the Murals table as sort criteria Creating a Formula field with DATETIME_FORMAT({FECHA INICIO (de Mural)}, 'YYYYMMDD') and sorting by that Renaming the Mural records so the name starts with the date in YYYYMMDD format and sorting alphabetically A→Z Sorting by the Mural name field A→ZNone of these approaches work. The groups always appear in the wrong order regardless of the sorting configuration.Expected behavior: Groups should sort by the start date of the linked Mural record.Question: Is there any reliable way to sort groups by

Hello All,We are looking into Airtable to automate our customizable products eCommerce business. It seems our operational workflows have grown beyond the capabilities and it's getting hard to manage as orders keep growing.For long period, manual management were a good solution for our workflows because they were relatively uncomplicated. Unfortunately, our operational activities increased and now include:customer inquiries order tracking status updates inventory coordination managing repeat customers tracking internal activities follow-up support for operationsThis also coincided with an increase in the amount of information we were tracking across multiple tools and systems. The tracking of changes and the consistency of the information have been hampered by the separation of the information.I have been interested in Airtable because it appears to have the capabilities that are in between manual work and fully developed bespoke systems.To provide some context, some of the workflows th

We have a pretty robust AT platform at this point, but one thing we are lacking is a solid work order/purchase order layout built inside the Page Designer. I know what fields I am wanting to have tied in, general look/layout, etc. but needing help in the execution. If you can help please let me know your rates and availability. Thanks!

Has anyone else run into this?I recently split some automations into a second connected base because I was running out of automation space/organisation in the original base.The setup now looks roughly like:Base A = operational/source base Base B = synced/helper automation base Slack notifications now trigger from Base BEver since doing this, Slack notifications have become inconsistent or delayed.What’s weird is:the automations often seem to trigger only after I manually open Base B again.The difficult part is that sometimes it works completely fine for hours/days, and then other times we start getting internal reports that Slack notifications aren’t triggering at all.So operationally it’s become hard to trust because the behaviour feels inconsistent rather than fully broken.It feels like:synced tables aren’t refreshing consistently or automations in inactive bases aren’t evaluating continuously or “record enters view” style triggers are unreliable across synced basesI’ve also noticed:

Hi all, I've pretty much got Airtable now doing exactly what I need it to. However, the one sticking point that I have is the custom view that I have created just misaligns then attempting to print it. Which is a critical thing in our business. I tried reaching out to support but wasn't able to get any help.I have tried the few responses to questions that I found on here but it didn't seem to fix it for me. I wonder if upgrading from the free plan to the base paid plan will solve the problem? We will need to upgrade anyway but I wanted to make sure the solution worked properly before upgrading.Any help greatly appreciated.

How do I do that and what level of subscriptin do I need. I’m currently on free. This form will be sent to 28 unique email addresses.

Hello,I’m looking for advice and best practices on how to build personalized employee dashboards/pages in Airtable.Currently, I use Airtable to track tasks for my employees. Each task is stored as a record in a table, with fields such as: Assigned employee Task status Hours spent Cost Performance-related information Other operational details What I would like to achieve is the following: Each employee should have access only to their own tasks and related information Employees should be able to view their task details and performance metrics through a simple personalized page/interface The solution needs to scale for 500+ employees My initial idea was: Create an Interface page for each employee Filter the page by employee name Share each interface publicly via a unique web link However, Airtable warns that publicly shared interfaces are not fully secure, since technically skilled users may be able to modify/reset filters and potentially access additional records or se

Hi everyone,Is there anyone in this group who works with Airtable customer support, or anyone who has actually been able to get hold of someone there?We’re trying to purchase several licences, but we need to do it using a corporate/government card and bulk licensing setup rather than individual user subscriptions.Has anyone gone through this process before? Would really appreciate hearing about your experience.We’ve been trying to reach someone from Airtable for over a month now and haven’t managed to get any response at all 😞 I genuinely love the product, but the customer support experience has been pretty terrible so far. If we can’t sort this out soon, we may have to move to another software option, which would be a shame. Thanks in advance for any advice or contacts anyone can share!Jitka

Hi - I have two fields, both text:Form Title (same for every record) Form URL (long-#$@$, customized URLs for prefilled forms; different for every record)Is there a way to make the title of the form clickable with the URL - possibly by creating a third formula field? Chat GPT tells me to do: HYPERLINK({Form URL}, {Form Title}). Alas, HYPERLINK doesn’t seem to be an actual function. Does anyone know? Thank  you!​​​​

Hi everyone!I'm currently building a custom interface extension using React and I've run into a bit of a roadblock that I'm hoping someone here might have solved. Our goal is to embed the native Airtable comment section directly inline within our custom detail view. We really want to give our users the exact same seamless experience they get in the native Interface Designer, complete with inline display, @mention autocomplete, and full comment threads, all without popping out a separate window.So far, we've tried using expandRecord, but unfortunately, that forces a separate modal to open rather than letting us keep the comments inline with the rest of our UI. We also looked into building a fully custom solution using the /comments REST API. However, recreating the native @mention autocomplete and manually mapping user IDs to render styled badges is turning out to be quite a heavy lift that requires a massive amount of custom code.Has anyone found a clever workaround or an undocumented

Hi everyone,I’m using a Kanban element in Airtable Interface Designer, stacked by a Single Select field.The issue is that an extra stack called “Uncategorized” keeps appearing, even though: “Uncategorized” is not an option in my Single Select field One of the Single Select options is already set as the default I checked the records and found no records where this Single Select field is emptyI also found an old community thread from around 9 years ago discussing a similar issue: [HERE]From what I understand, the suggested workaround was to collapse the stack, but I couldn’t find a clear solution to fully hide or remove it. Please correct me if I missed somethingHas anyone found a current workaround for this in Interface Designer Kanban?Thank you!

In Illinois, the state's Evidence-Based Funding (EBF) formula calculates what each of 851 school districts actually needs versus what it gets. Roughly 600 districts are below adequacy. The aggregate gap is $6 billion.I built an Airtable base to hold all of it — every district's adequacy percentage, funding gap, enrollment, revenue breakdown, tier status, redistribution projections.Then I built seven Hyperagent agents on top of it.Each agent has a role in a pipeline that takes a single district from raw data to a stakeholder-ready investment memo:EBF Analyst — pulls the district's numbers from the Airtable base and places it in statewide context District Intelligence — enriches with web research (leadership, community, demographics, recent board decisions) Funder Match — screens the district against three philanthropic investment archetypes Policy Simulator — models dual scenarios (current funding versus aspirational) with redistribution math Stakeholder Briefer — produces the investmen

We recently completed an org-wide planning and goal-tracking project at the Doris Duke Foundation, and wanted to share the pattern in case it’s useful to others tackling similar challenges. The problem we were solvingLike many mission driven organizations, we don’t measure success with revenue or sales targets. Instead, we organize around long-term strategic goals (“North Stars”). And, I know the companies I’ve worked for need to track Objectives and Key Results in addition to revenue.The challenge was that our strategy lived across PDFs, decks, and docs: making planning slow, fragmented, and hard to translate into action. What we builtUsing Airtable’s app-building capabilities, we built Horizon: an org-wide planning and goal-tracking system that serves as a single source of truth for: Long-term strategic direction (North Stars) Annual enterprise objectives Team goals Projects, ownership, and timelines Everyone accesses the same structure, sees how their work connects, and plans
