Hey Airtable Community!
I'm Zach Felsenstein from the Product Ops team at Airtable. Welcome to our quarterly Product Playback – a snapshot of what we're hearing from you and how we're responding.
Thank you for continuing to share your ideas and feedback. Over the past three months (July-September), you've submitted 500+ pieces of feedback through our Product Ideas form. We read every submission, and your detailed feedback directly influences our roadmap priorities.
