New formatting options for number fields

Hi Airtable Community! I'm Matt, a Software Engineer here at Airtable. We're excited to announce some new features of number fields that give you more control over how numeric data is formatted and abbreviated. To access these updates, create a Number field or configure an existing Number field.What's included in these updates?Format numbers for different languages. Using the new “Thousands and decimal separators” setting, you can format numbers automatically based on users' language preferences with the new “Local” option. For example, an English-speaking user sees 1,234.0 while a German-speaking user sees 1.234,0. You can also choose a specific format that applies to all users regardless of language preferences. Support for additional languages and regions will be available over the coming weeks.Control whether thousands separators are shown. You can choose to display a number or currency field with thousands separators (1,234,567.0) or without (1234567.0).Abbreviate large numbers. I

Hello! I’m Ayesha, a Product Manager here at Airtable. We’re so excited to announce that we now have Portals available in Beta for customers to unlock guest access for their organization.   What are Portals and why would you use them?

WIP: Airtable Community

NOTE: This blog was updated on 2/26/25 Hey Airtable Community 👋 You might have noticed a little something different with the community, and we wanted to share a little bit about what we’ve been working on! The community will experience disruptions starting Friday, Feb 28. Why, you ask? Well, we always want to create a better experience for our members guided by what our members find most important. Based on feedback that we’d been hearing, we realized that meant redesigning a community experience tailored to better connect, engage, and empower all of our members! We’ve put a lot of thought into what this will look like and, in just a few more days, we can’t wait to unveil the new community that we’ve been hard at work building for you.  However, because you’ve been such a prolific community (give yourselves a pat on the back 👏), that means we have a ton of data over the years that we want to make sure is migrated properly.

New: Trigger automations with emails to find insights in your inbox

Hey Airtable community! As of today, you can now trigger automations when you receive an email, so you can turn your inbox into insights! 🎉  You can use automations to extract data such as the content, sender, and even attachments. Then use AI and automations to analyze and take action on that data.  This highly-requested feature allows you to turn unstructured email content into a clean data set that your organization can actually use to power workflows and make decisions.  For example, product teams constantly receive valuable customer feedback over email. But what happens to it? Is the same request being received from several customers? Did anyone close the loop? Now, you can track feedback received via email, extract insights, and close the loop.      How does it work?  Check out the support article to learn more about how to set up the new email trigger.  When is this rolling out?  It’s live now!  What plans is this ro

With the new trash dialog, you can now restore mistakenly deleted items for up to seven days after deletion! More specifically, collaborators with creator and editor permissions can open up the trash to see the tables, views, fields, and records that have been deleted in a base in the past seven days. Creators can restore all items that appear in the trash, and editors can restore records and fields. Please note that the tables, fields, views, and records you delete will now be visible to editor- and creator-level collaborators for seven days unless you click the empty trash button from within the trash dialog. Emptying the trash will permanently remove everything in the trash, and only creators can empty the trash. For more information, check out the support article.

Introducing Pivot Tables in Interfaces

Hi there! I’m Rosalind – a product marketing manager at Airtable focused on helping teams build powerful, custom applications that make work more efficient. I’m eager to share that we have just launched support for pivot tables in interfaces! Starting today, all users on a Teams plan or higher will have access to pivot tables directly in interfaces. What is a pivot table? A pivot table is a powerful data analysis tool for succinctly summarizing and analyzing large datasets. The format of a pivot table lets you rearrange and aggregate data dynamically, making it easier to identify patterns, trends, and insights.  Historically, the only way to use pivot tables in Airtable was via the Pivot table extension. With the launch of this new feature, you can easily add pivot tables directly to an interface page without relying on an extension. How can you use a pivot table? Aggregate and summarize your data. Pivot tables allow for the aggregation and summarization of large datasets into man

Important Update: Changes to App Cloning Behavior Coming Soon

Hey everyone,We’ve got some exciting news about a long-awaited change to app cloning in Airtable!Who does this affect? This change is for all users of Airtable across all our plan types. What’s Changing? Currently, when you clone an app (e.g. using “Duplicate base” or “Take snapshot”), all the underlying object IDs (like table IDs and field IDs) are replaced with new ones in the cloned version. With this update, those IDs will now stay the same in the cloned app. The only thing that will change is the top-level app ID.Why This Matters: This update will make things a lot smoother, especially for users who’ve had to deal with workarounds due to different object IDs when restoring snapshots. How to review your set up: For most users, this shouldn’t require you to make any changes to your workflow. If you’ve built integrations or automations that assume object IDs are globally unique, you’ll want to review your set up to make sure that it can adapt to this new behavior of IDs bei

New: Share public interface pages publicly

Hello! I’m Ayesha, a Product Manager here at Airtable. We’re so excited to share an improvement to interfaces that will let you share some page types publicly in a read-only format. You can share a link to these pages or embed them in other websites. What are publicly shared interface pages?  Most interface pages can now be publicly shared and can be accessed by a non-Airtable user without being logged in. These pages are read-only and your audience will be able to filter, sort, search, and expand details on your page.   How do you create a publicly shared page? After you have published one of the supported page types, the share dialog will feature a new “Share Publicly” tab. Turning on the switch will enable public sharing using a unique link that is generated when the toggle is turned on. What does a public page look like?

Launched: conditional form field visibility

It’s here! You can now configure form fields so that they display or hide based on the submitter’s responses in previous fields. Here’s how to use it in the form builder: Underneath the field title/description, turn ON the toggle switch labeled “Show field only when conditions are met.” Choose another field and the value or condition it should meet. Like with filters, you can add as many conditions as you’d like to a field. And here’s some useful tips: You can chain together multiple conditional form fields in a sequence—i.e., use one conditional form field as the condition for another form field You can make conditional form fields required! When a conditional form field is set as required, it is hidden by default until its condition is met. Once its condition is met, the form will still require it to be filled for submission. More information can be found in the conditional form fields support article.

New Features and Templates for Project Management

Today we're excited to release three new features that will greatly improve Project Management workflows in Airtable. These include a new gantt layout option, date dependencies which work across views and a better way to preview utilization when assigning tasks. 1. Gantt in interfacesIf you ever wondered why we needed two separate views for timeline and gantt, so did we. Gantt is now a layout option within timeline view. This means you can now view and manage dependent tasks within interfaces or anywhere else you have a timeline view, by selecting gantt in the new layout toggle.   2. Date dependency configurationPowering the new gantt option in timeline is the ability to configure date dependencies which work across all of your views and interfaces. So if you connect two tasks in a timeline view but then edit the dates elsewhere, the dates will reschedule accordingly regardless. This is particularly powerful if you are working with the same data in multiple views fo
