Can someone guide me on whether there is a way to nest views under major topics/departments? For example, our photo team might want to have different ‘Views’ they use, but I want to group all of their views under one department. Our ecomm team also has different views, but I want to nest them all under ecomm. I work with between multiple departments, so I want to see views grouped by department (photo, ecomm, production, retail, etc.). We are in the beginning phase of setting up airtable for our teams so we are still learning how this all functions. Thank you for your help!

I have three Tables. - Commit Items, Invoice Header, and Invoice Detail. Lets assume that For Commit No ACB001 there are 4 Records in Commit Items Table with many records for other Commit Nos.. When the invoice is received for Commit No ABC001 and entered on Invoice Header table with Invoice No and Commit No ABC001, I would like automation to grab four records from Commit Items table and create those 4 records + Invoice number in Invoice Detail table. How do I achieve this? Just a reminder, I am new to AirTable.

I’m trying to use the new ChatGPT integration with Airtable - specifically to have ChatGPT pull data from one of my bases in Airtable base . I’ve configured the settings in ChatGPT to connect to airtable, but Chat GPT is still asking me several times to confirm it has access to my base and other data points in Airtable. Is there a way to configure this to stop asking this question? It seems to be slowing it down. 

I don’t really want to not have AI available to me, but I need to get rid of the constant annoying prompts and slide over panels urging me to use AI.I am happy to forgo it’s availability just to get rid of the incessant interruptions to my work. So my simple request is: how can I disable AI? Thank you

I have a table that lists the openings and closing of homes. Each record is a specific date and an opening or closing. So there is single select field that has the choices Open or Closed. Each record has a date and the single select and a customer and the property along with a few other fields. Right now 27 records.I also have a summary table with a link to the open and close table. Each record is a customer’s open and close records in the link field. That table has 22 records.I want to filter for the latest opens so I can create a list to email through an automation so I get a l list every week what's currently open.Does anyone have a idea of how to do this?.Thanks.

Hi,I am a boutique tour operator. I’m refining our Airtable operations base (tours, suppliers, costs, date logic, assignments, forms, dashboards). The core structure exists, but I need an expert to review, optimize formulas & rollups, ensure correct relationships, set up Interfaces & forms.Could you share your availability and hourly rate, or recommend someone?Thanks,Alper Ertubey 

I’m tentatively looking for a freelancer to help another department in my business get their Airtable database off the ground - Creative team to manage projects.This is a fairly simple, and short, job that I’d do myself but simply lack the time, and the department has no capacity themselves to be trained up to do the work themselves, so this is very much a capacity issue. Interest?

Hi, I hope you're all doing well. I wanted to let you know that I'm building a chatbot in n8n, and I need the IDs for my "Base" and "Table" sections. I'm using an AirTool node for this; however, I don't know how to access them through AirTool. According to Gemini, it should look something like this:Copy the IDs:The code that starts with app... (Base ID).The code that starts with tbl... (Table ID).

I have a question about adjusting my base design to accommodate a new data requirement.I use my base to run our property management company. It consists of 4 main sections: Customer tables, Contract tables, Property tables and Invoice tables. When I created the base I did not think about the possibility of a customer selling one home and moving and retaining our services for the new home. Silly me. Our customers are owners of generational homes in a resort and as such they rarely sell.In the contracts table I have a field that captures the year we took them on as a customer of that property. That year is derived from the signature date of the contract for the current property. All fine and good until they move. Now we have an old customer with a new house and the years as customer is now only valid for the new property. I lose the history of their original contract. I need to have a way to keep the original year.I have thought about putting a field in the customer table for their origi

I had Omni build a Form for users to collect new record information. It has two levels: Claims and Claim Details. I wanted it to allow a user to create a new “Claim” and the continue to add each new “Claim detail record” from this same form. It works in the regular interface, but as a form it only allows the user to select from existing “Claim Details.” Is there a setting for that field that I need to change in order to adds new detail records?

I’ve seen similar questions asked, but I can’t quite find the solution I’m looking for.I manage a fairly large (~2000 item) equipment inventory. I have a system to check items in and out to different people, projects and locations. Basically, I have a table of inventory items, and a table of in/out transactions that links to the inventory table and includes quantity checked out, destination, program, etc. I also have a form for various users in the company to create a transaction record, and dynamic fields in the inventory table to keep track of how much inventory is available, and how much is checked out and to whom. Screenshots below:Inventory TableTransaction TableCheckout FormOutstanding Inventory interface viewThis is fine for checking out a single inventory item, but it’s rather slow and cumbersome for checking out multiple items at once. Think someone loading a truck with a barcode scanner. I’ve seen Fillout recommended multiple times here and gave that a shot, but wasn’t very h

Is it my impression or the latest version of the SDK removed support for defining a table as a custom parameter? My extension reads data from another table as support for that has been recently added. In order to avoid hardcoding things, I was allowing users to select a table. This was supported  (see link below). However, the latest version of the SDK does not seem to support that. (^0.0.0-experimental-e7419444f-20251120). I’ve updated my code so the parameter is now just a string. It seems to be working. Could you please confirm this makes sense?https://airtable.com/developers/interface-extensions/api/BlockPageElementCustomPropertyThe signature of the type BlockPageElementCustomProperty I’m getting does not include that type anymore (see below) and I also get a run time error.type BlockPageElementCustomProperty = { key: string; label: string;} & ({ type: 'boolean'; defaultValue: boolean;} | { type: 'string'; defaultValue?: string;} | { type: 'enum'; possib

Hi all,New to the community here 😊Quick backgroud, I use Airtable as core operational platform for enterprise-scale stadium delivery coordinating content, instructions, and approvals across major events. External stakeholders access structured workflows via a portal in Softr, while internal teams manage live production delivery in Airtable.I’m currently on Business and evaluating a move to Enterprise Scale.Before upgrading, I’m trying to confirm whether Enterprise Scale supports embedding Airtable Interfaces into third-party portals (e.g. Softr) with the following requirements:Embedded without public “share to web” access Users authenticate normally (Airtable / SSO) Interface permissions are enforced (role-based access, edit vs read) Users can edit records and reorder rows within the embedded InterfaceIn short: Can Enterprise Interfaces function as a secure, permission-aware embedded app inside an external portal?If this is supported:Is it native to Enterprise Scale? Or only available

Hi Airtable Community,I’m trying to confirm whether the CSV Import Extension supports updating an Airtable Checkbox field from TRUE → FALSE when using “Update existing records / Merge”—or if there’s a known limitation/workaround.What I’m trying to doWe run a recurring sync where we: Export a CSV from Google Sheets that contains: a unique ID (used for matching) several columns of values one column that represents a boolean (e.g., TRUE / FALSE) Import that CSV into Airtable using CSV Import Extension → “Merge with existing records” Map: CSV ID → Airtable ID field (for matching) CSV boolean column → Airtable Checkbox field What works If the Airtable checkbox is currently unchecked (FALSE) and the CSV value is TRUE, the checkbox updates to checked (TRUE) correctly. The issue If the Airtable checkbox is currently checked (TRUE) and the CSV value is FALSE, the checkbox does not get unset—it stays TRUE after the merge/update. I’ve tested multiple “false” representat

Hey everyone!I built Sheet Wizard - a Chrome extension that lets you bulk update Airtable records using natural language commands instead of manually clicking through rows.For example: "Set all records where Status is 'Done' to Priority 'Low'" or “Update Due Date to 2026-01-10 for all Marketing Campaign records in Project"It's live on the Chrome Web Store with a 7-day free trial. Would love feedback from the community!Happy to answer any questions!https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sheet-wizard-for-airtable/ofhnpikabgcaihpaohanedkodjfgboiahttps://www.getsheetwizard.com/

I have 20 project managers. Every Monday i need to email each of them independently their list of jobs that meet specific criteria they need to take action on. I am starting to run out of automations for this base and am trying to consolidate this into a single automation rather than an automation per PM. Here is what I am trying to accomplishat scheduled time (good on this part) find records - find the PM by email address (this is a record within the table) I've taken this line out because it does not seem to be able to dynamically pull each PM, but m not sure how tog et the automation to accomplish this step. find records - when status1 <100%, and status1 due date is empty (good on this part) find record - when status2 <100% and status2 due date is empty (good on this part) send email - the PM defined in pm email address in the table gets an email listing the records in parts 3 and 4. These records are specific to projects he is running (cant get this to work correctly in a sin

Is it possible to connect Entra to Airtable and use it as a data source?I have several use cases where an employee has to complete a form and list their manager’s name and email.  This can lead to bad data if the user types in the wrong email address or misspells a name. Is it possible to connect to the Entra directory and use it as a datasource? 

I have a table called “Tickets” that my team enters project requests. Each ticket has a due date. A second table called “tasks” are specific things that need to be done to complete the project. Some of these tasks must be done a specific number of days (lead time) before the ticket due date to meet the deadline.I have a third table with standard tasks with a field called “lead time” that I use as a template to populate the tasks for each project.I want to be able to automatically enter the task due date based on the pre-defined lead time and the ticket due date. These dates need to editable to account for holidays and other conflicts, so I can simply use a formula.I want to create an automation that will look at the ticket due date and calculate the task due date (subtract number of days from said task due date) and enter it into the task due date. I can handle most of the automation, but I’m a bit out of my league trying to grab data from one table and use it in a calculation in anoth

I’ve spent hours on this and can’t figure it out. My goal is to simply click a button to trigger a N8N webhook trigger. Can anyone help me?

Hi all 👋🏼Really quick post to showcase a plugin I created on my tool AirPlugins. It lets you autocomplete and prefill an address right from Airtable — even if you only have a vague, messy starting point.Type something like:attorney st 2 (no city, no formatting)…and it instantly turns it into a perfectly formatted address. 👇🏼 Here is how it works step-by-step: (demo video here) You type your “raw” query (like : “attorney st 2”) and press a button (from your grid or interface). A popup opens up with a list of matching addresses (using Google Maps API) You pick the address that matches your query It updates your record (with clean & separate fields : street, number, city, postal, state, latitude, longitude, ...)🌱 Some use-cases that really benefited from this plugin:Real estate (property managers, agents, brokers, ...) Field service technicians (making sure you get the right address) CRMsYou can give it a try for free here : https://airplugins.com/plugins/address_autocompleteFlor
