Happy 2022! I hope everyone’s year is off to a great start. As you may have seen earlier this week, as of Tuesday, January 11th, Airtable has rolled out updates to our Free, Plus, and Pro plans*. These updates to our packaging are meant to give users access to more advanced features in Airtable, like apps and sync integrations. We’re also starting off the year with a few much-needed product improvements to our automations and view features. We are excited about all of these changes and would love to have you join us for Table Talk on Thursday, January 20th to learn more. Airtable’s Self Serve Product Leader, Lauryn Isford, and Head of End User Marketing, Christy Roach will join us to share a behind the scenes look at the thinking and strategy behind our packaging changes, and Mary Cook from Airtable’s Automations team will also be joining us to talk about some new functionality we’re launching ne

Updates include: Ability to select a start date/time for when the trigger should start firing For the weekly interval, you will now be able to specify the # of weeks it should reoccur in (used to be only every week) Our updated support documentation covers all of the new functionality!

Airtable Automations have been immensely popular since their initial release- and for good reason too! Automations allow users the flexibility to build out custom low-code solutions to automate their workflows. We are powering up automations by introducing new integrations, as well as expanding on our existing triggers and actions.
