Laying out our immediate product plans, direction for 2027, and the decision to move forward with a leaner team. Hi everyone,I’m Alessandro. I joined Airtable in September to lead product development following the Bending Spoons acquisition. Since then the team and I have spent most of our time listening to builders, admins, partners, and a great many of you here. The passion, expertise, and ingenuity of the Airtable community is unlike any other I’ve encountered, and it’s thanks to you that Airtable has become what it is. Today we published a full update on what’s next, and I wanted to come and share the main points here too, starting with the hardest one. We’re parting ways with several members of the pre-acquisition team, many of whom will be leaving by the end of the week. We believe a smaller, more agile team is the best way to deliver on the plans we have, but that doesn’t make this decision easier. A number of the people who will be leaving will be well known to you here, and
Welcome to Change Makers, our series highlighting customer stories and builders making an incredible impact with Airtable. Today's Change Maker is one of our Airtable MVPs who built a comprehensive ticketing system to replace fragmented messaging and bring structure to internal operations across multiple campuses. About the Builder Charlotte Pichereau (@Charlotte_Pichereau) is an Operations & Quality Lead at a tech school that trains FullStack developers across 12+ campuses in France.

Hey Airtable Community,We're excited to share that threaded replies are now available across the Airtable Community!Example in actionWhat's changed?You can now reply directly to a specific reply in any topic — not just the original post. This means related back-and-forth stays together instead of getting lost in a long, linear comment thread. How it worksReply to any reply. See a response you want to follow up on? Hit reply on that specific comment to start a thread beneath it. Threads nest up to three levels. If you reply to a third-level comment, your response will appear as a second-level reply with an automatic @mention of the person you're responding to so the conversation always stays connected. Easy to navigate. Nested replies are sorted oldest-first so the conversation reads naturally, and a "Show more replies" option keeps longer threads tidy. Why it mattersIf you've ever scrolled through a busy topic trying to figure out who was responding to what, this one's for you. Threade
Welcome to Change Makers, our series highlighting customer stories and builders making an incredible impact with Airtable. Today’s Change Maker is an Airtable MVP who created a structured inventory management system to turn valuable data into clear, timely, and reliable decision-making. About the BuilderMatthew Williams (@Matthew_Williams), a Global Sustainability Manager, designed and implemented an Airtable-based system to manage inventory control and purchasing for Crown Bioscience, a UK life sciences operation. His app has completely transformed how lab consumables and study-critical materials are tracked and procured across his organization!What's your go-to productivity hack or ritual?Keeping everything structured in one place. Whether it's tasks, data, or projects, I try to avoid scattered tools and instead build systems that bring everything together. It reduces context switching and makes decision-making much quicker.What's your superpower at work?Turning messy or fragmented
Hi everyone! I'm AP, a Product Manager at Airtable working on some of our strategic portfolio management features. Over the past several months we've shipped a set of upgrades to timelines, date dependencies, and duration fields that make Airtable a much stronger home for managing real projects and portfolios. Here's what's new, with a few examples of where each one helps. Nested timelinesYour projects are hierarchies, and now your project timeline is too. You can nest tasks inside other tasks, up to 7 levels deep, then collapse a parent task down to a single bar or expand it to see every sub-task underneath. It's the same nesting and the same depth you already have in List View, so a plan reads the same way wherever you're working. Say you're building a home. A parent task like Concrete Work can roll up its sub-tasks, and each of those can break down further into the individual steps, like placing rebar, pouring footings, and curing the slab. On the Timeline, collapse Concrete Work to
Hi everyone,You can now build and manage Airtable automations from AI assistants connected to Airtable’s MCP server. Connect Airtable to Claude, ChatGPT, or another MCP-compatible tool, then describe the workflow you want in plain language. Your assistant can configure the trigger, actions, conditions, and dynamic data for you—without setting up every step by hand.Agents can build complex workflows with branching logic, repeating groups, and data passed between steps—so you can put AI to work on even your most advanced automations. What can your agent do?Create automations with conditional and repeating groups, including nested groups Configure field values across supported triggers and actions Use dynamic data and token functions (such as Uppercase and Trim) List and review the automations in a base Read, update, and delete existing automationsFor example, you could ask your assistant to:“When a new request is submitted, route it based on priority, assign an owner, and notify the righ
Hi everyone,Two quality-of-life improvements just landed in Automations, both aimed at making it easier to pass data from one step of your automation to the next. Insert as JSONWhen you're inserting dynamic data into a later action, you've always been able to pull in individual values one at a time. Now there's a faster option: you can insert a whole group of related data at once with the new "Insert as JSON" token. This works for both a single group of details (an object) and a list of items (an array).This is especially handy when you're working with data that has a lot of nested detail, like the response from an incoming webhook trigger or the output of a "Generate structured data" action. Instead of drilling in and picking each property by hand, you can grab the whole thing in one step.You'll see one of two versions, depending on where you're inserting it:**Insert as JSON string** — appears when you're inserting into a text field. **Insert as JSON data** — appears for inputs on the
For a while now, our community groups have gone by a pretty functional name: user groups. It got the job done, but it never quite captured what these communities actually are. They're tight-knit groups of builders who show up for each other, share what they know, and genuinely make each other better at what they do.So we're giving them a name that fits: Builder Crews 🎉Same people, same energy, same peer-to-peer spirit. Just a name that actually sounds like something you'd want to be part of! What's a Builder Crew?Builder Crews are member-led communities organized around a city, industry, language, or region. Whether you're in Boston or São Paulo, working in nonprofits or media, or just looking for other Airtable builders who speak your language, there's a Builder Crew for you. And if there isn't one yet, that's a conversation worth having!Each Builder Crew is run by volunteer leads who plan events, spark conversations, and keep the community moving. They're peer communities built on o
Hi everyone,It's Kyle from Product back (again!) to share our third batch of updates! (If you missed what we shipped before, catch up on our 15 updates in 15 days and our automations improvements).I'm really happy to announce we have shipped 11 updates and new features across calendars, comments and permissions. Here's what's new: More granular interface permissions1. Grant Add and Delete permissions separatelyYou can now grant Add and Delete record permissions independently for table-constrained layouts in interfaces, so a collaborator can add records without the power to delete them. 2. Configure creation permissions per levelYou can now set permissions for each level of a multi-level list, instead of one setting for the whole page. Better collaboration through Comments3. Use bold, italics and hyperlinks in commentsComments now support basic rich-text formatting, so you can emphasize the important parts, add hyperlinks, and make longer comments much easier to read. 4. An emoji picker
Hi everyone,It’s Kyle from Product, back to share more updates we have been busy on! (If you missed what we shipped last week, check out our 15 updates in 15 days right here).This week we’ve focused on automations, from increasing every plan’s automation limits to new capabilities. The highlights 1. More automations on every plan!It’s one of your most requested changes, so I am pleased to announce that everyone now has more room to automate.We have increased the caps of unique automations on EVERY PLAN from a fixed 50 to:75 for Free 100 for Teams 150 for Business 200 for EnterpriseThis applies to unique automations; automation run limits remain unchanged. 2. Delete a record from an automationYou can now delete a record as an automation action, no script or workaround required. 3. Compare two date fields in Find recordsFind records Dynamic comparison has now been extended to support date fields. That means automations can now compare one date field to another directly, so date-relative
Hi everyone,Omni, Airtable’s always-on AI expert, just got much more powerful. Omni now works faster, takes on much bigger jobs, and plans and executes the work from start to finish instead of handling one request at a time, keeping you updated on changes made along the way.Bring your messy data in Open Omni in an existing base, upload some files, and ask it to build your workflow based on the data you shared. It works out how your data is structured and creates the necessary tables and fields on your behalf. Omni supports CSV, Excel, TSV,and JSON along with PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoint, Google Docs and Slides, Markdown, and images. Upload up to 10 files at a time, 10 MB each. Build a custom interface page Describe the page you want and Omni will write the code, build the page, and add it to your interface. It can go beyond Airtable's standard page types to tailor something unique to your needs. Once ready, it leaves the publishing to you. Build or fix an automation end to end
Hey everyone, Kyle here!I’ve recently joined the product team at Airtable following the recent acquisition by Bending Spoons, which closed earlier this month. I wanted to say hello, meet the community here, and share what we’ve been working on recently.We know a lot of people have been wondering what’s next for Airtable, post-acquisition.We’re 100% committed to making Airtable the very best it can be, and we’ve been studying the product from every angle, parsing the data and listening to feedback from across the user base. We have a lot of projects already in the works that we look forward to sharing in the coming weeks.But actions speak louder than words, which is why we wanted to hit the ground running and improve your experience as soon as possible.To that end, I’m happy to share that we’ve worked hard to ship 15 updates in the past 15 days. For this first sprint, we’ve focused on addressing some of the small gaps around the product that many customers have been requesting for some
Hi everyone, Duretti here from the Airtable Product team.Today we're excited to announce the open beta of the Airtable Interface extensions SDK! This powerful toolkit lets developers create custom extensions that remix Airtable's functionality in entirely new ways. The Interface Extensions SDK puts the power of custom development directly in your hands.Why we built itJust like we've seen with our recent AI-Generated Interface Elements, our builder community constantly amazes us by pushing the boundaries of what's possible with Airtable. While our AI tools can generate interfaces from simple prompts, the Interface Extensions SDK gives technical builders the ultimate flexibility to create precisely what they envision through code.The Interface Extensions SDK bridges the gap between Airtable's powerful data management capabilities and your unique business needs that require custom functionality.What you can buildThe possibilities are endless, but here are some examples of what builders h

While hundreds of Airtable builders were gathering in New York City for the first ever Airtable Buildathon, hundreds of you were also working hard virtually on your community hackathon submissions! Our second community-led hackathon’s theme was “Let’s Play,” and showed us anything is possible when you mix Airtable, creativity, and a bit of mischief 💫😉Participants competed across three categories: Airtable AI: Recognizing the best use of AI features (selected by Alex McDonnell, @alexmcdonnell, Airtable’s Director, Product Marketing) Grand Jury: Selected by a committee of top Airtable builders Basefluencer: Awarded to the most-liked video on YouTubeFirst, a big shout out to @Mike_AutomaticN who organized this special event again for the community, and finally, without further ado, let's celebrate our winners: Airtable AI Winner: "Friends with Airtable" by Lisa Bauer (@itslisabauer) Friends with Airtable is an educational RPG game designed to rid any initial fear of learning a new too
Hey everyone -- huge milestone alert to share with all of you!As of June, over 10,000 certifications have been earned through Airtable Academy. Every single one represents real skills applied to real work, whether that's building your first automation, architecting a multi-table base for your team, kickstarting your AI fluency journey, or mastering AI features like Omni, Field Agents, and the Airtable MCP.We want to celebrate this milestone with the people who made it happen: you.But the number that matters to me isn't really 10,000. It's the stories behind each one. A certification is a piece of paper (well, a digital badge), but what it unlocked for you is the actual payoff. And I'd rather hear that from you than assume it.So, if you've earned a certification with Airtable Academy, tell us what happened next. A few things I'm genuinely curious about, but don't let these limit you:Did it unlock something in your apps? A build you wouldn't have attempted before, an automation you final

Hi everyone,I'm Akshar Patel (AP), a Product Manager here at Airtable. Today I'm sharing a new way to edit records on record detail pages in interfaces: Form editing.Until now, record detail pages supported inline editing where users click into fields and update values directly on the page. That works great for quick updates, but if you've ever wanted more structure around how data gets changed, things like validation rules, a controlled set of fields, a clear submit action, inline editing doesn't quite get you there.Now it can. Introducing Form editing for record detail pages When you enable Form editing, an "Edit" button appears on the record detail page. When a user clicks it, a customizable form opens in a modal. They make their changes, and submit them all at once. The record detail page itself stays read-only — all editing happens through the form. This gives you full control over the editing experience.Why this mattersData validation: Set rules that submitted values must meet be
