I have an automation that invokes an API taht requires authentication credentials. What is the best way to store those credentials so they cannot be read outside of the automation? Does the input.config do anything to obfuscate them?

Hi. Thank you in advance, I am wondering if there is a way to show numbers with thousand/comma separator if you combine it with a text in a formula field using concatenate. My Amount field is in currency format. Current Formula: CONCATENATE(Amount, " ", {asking-currency})Much appreciated.   

Hi everyone,I’m building a List Interface in Airtable and would like to know if it’s possible to freeze (or lock) the first column, similar to how you can freeze columns in grid views.When scrolling horizontally through fields in the List layout, the first column (which usually contains key identifiers like names or IDs) scrolls out of view, making it difficult to track which record I’m looking at.Is there a built-in way to freeze the first column in a List Interface, or any workaround that others have found helpful?Thanks in advance for any insights or suggestions!— Sean

We have many projects that we want to export or save in an Excel file so we can import them into another platform we’re using. Is there an option to download all the project tabs at once into a single file, so we don’t have to manually download each tab separately?

I’m an event promotor. I’ve been using AT for a while to keep track of community member applications, event details, and general ticket sales. I want to get a better sense of real time income via sale so I’d like to update the base.Right now, I have 3 tables in the base:Member List - Record for each member with personal info Events - Record for each event (Party A, Party B, Party C, etc) Ticket Types - Record for each type of ticket (Full price, 25% off, 50% off, comped, etc)None of these include price of the ticket and I would like to start tracking that.Thinking the tables should be this, but I’m not sure:Member List - Same as above Events - Same as above, but add in pricing columns for different ticket types — Tier 1 = $90, Tier 2 = $100, Tier 3 = $110, etc. The pricing can change from event to event so the amounts cannot be a universal across all events.

Hello,I work for a print company and want to send Airtable data through API to make what's called a JDF ticket which Esko’s Automation Engine can then use.Does anyone have any experience with this?Our main label database software does this, but I want to replace it with Airtable because it is heaps better. Thanks!

Hello,I'm experiencing a critical issue with my Airtable automation connected to Make that stopped working yesterday, and I urgently need assistance as this is putting a client contract at risk.The Problem: My automation was functioning perfectly until yesterday. Now, when triggered from my Interface button, I'm receiving this error from Make: The operation failed with an error.Error: Validation failed for 1 parameter(s).- Missing value of required parameter 'id'.My Setup: I'm using a script in my Airtable automation that sends data to Make via webhook:javascriptconst { recordID } = input.config();await fetch('https://hook.us2.make.com/2eto4rtkvo8js15rcg05e69ntn5vceqe', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({ rid: recordID }) });The recordID input is map

Hi! I’m trying to embed a calendar view, but the data view isn’t matching the embed view:Data view (the one I want): Embedded view (no bueno): Normally I’d just set the view in the embedded version, but this will be on a TV with a refresh/animation every half an hour, so that’s not really feasible. Any way to fix this? Thanks!

I created an interface with two pages, and one is not showing the information to the viewers. They are getting an error that says "Cannot access this data."Other details...There are two pages in the interface --- one is a list, and one is a record detail page that only allows them to see their own record.They are all able to see their own record, but the list won't show up. The "Users can see" is set to "Specific records" and has one condition on it (status field = active).When I preview the page as the viewers, I'm able to see everything.What am I missing?

Hi all, I have been struggling to figure out a way to solve this all day. I am wanting to track checked out laboratory media in an interface graph so that team members who create the media can see how much is being used per week. I’d like this to be automated for the previous week, but specifically Monday through Sunday of the previous week (so that you can check any day of the current week and the numbers would remain the same for the previous week). My plan for this was to set an automation trigger for early Monday morning, that then finds all records within the last 7 days (all checked out items have creation dates + times for the check-out record), and then marks them with a date for the previous week’s Monday, using the Update Record command (which would be found using a formula field consisting of DATEADD(NOW(), -7, 'days'), which will return the previous Monday (because the trigger to pull from this field is occurring Monday morning). The interface would then pull from values

Hi all, as of today CTRL-F is not opening a search bar within a grid on my interface page.  I use this feature maybe 100 times a day and its a big part of my workflow.I rebooted, signed in/out, tried a different web browser, no luck.  This is hugely disruptive and I’m not particularly interested in creating a new interface list page with the native search feature.  There are other elements on my original page that I reference ALL the time that won’t be visible with a dedicated list.  Anyone else run into this and find a solution?  I submitted a ticket with support and they’ll get back to me in 1 to 2 days….

Hello, Any experience with https://baserow.io/We are interested on features missed from Airtable, or viceversa, features missed from Baserow.And, also imporant any experience regarding migration from/to between those platforms, if any.

I know this has been raised before as a feature request but is there a way to add a default value to a date field through automations or some other mechanism other than pleading airtable to implement or a third party add-on? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, I’m currently testing the ai field agent’s capabilities for automatized tagging of records, but I’ve come across a limitation that I seek to overcome with your help: No centralized tag management. When using the field agent for direct ai tagging, I have not found any option to provide tags in a centralized way, similar to how you can do with linked fields for human tagging. There is the ai recommendation option integrated into the linked record field, but this does only add a recommendation for human usage. Is there a way to have it both? The centralized tagging table and ai field agent tagging? I’m considering injecting an accumulated list, of all entries in my tag table, into the prompt of a simple text ai field agent and have it output it’s selection as a list, which hopefully could be linked via automatization features.

Hello the script I am pairing with my tables is not running a test and giving me feedback on whether it is completed or not.  It just started today as well.  I checked my account limits and have not exceeded them.  Can anyone advise on this issue?

For context - I’m a literary agent and I’m trying to create a way to have a ‘live’ brochure of clients who are available for writer for hire gigs that I can share with editors. I’ve created a form which the clients can use to add and edit their details whenever they want and at the moment I have this set up to feed to a gallery interface just through the airtable interface section. It works reasonably well, but the long text field doesn’t seem to have a space big enough assigned to it in the display so a lot of the text is being cut off and I don’t want editors to be able to open the record because there’s other information there that I don’t want them to see. It’s also cutting off if the authors select more than 4 genres which is a bit frustrating.  Is there a way to adjust how the gallery interface deals with data display? Or is there another option within airtable I could look at that would enable me to customise more? I’m not very familiar with interf

Hello. Thanks for any help on this.Can someone point me to a similar procedure that does the following:After a record is updated:User clicks a button to send a text with information from the updated record A SMS text is sent with this information to a constant, static list of telephone numbers.I’ve looked up several things on Youtube related to this, but they always seem to be too simple for what I’m looking for or too complex.I do use Zapier.  I did create a trial Twilio account.  I don’t mind sending with my own phone, this will only be 4-5 texts per week to 2 or 3 people.Just pointing me to a similar process I think I’ll be able to sort it out.Thank you.

When using the Airtable JS SDK, it seems impossible to use the offset with select to do proper pagination. The type specifies `number` but any value I pass gives me an invalid value error. The web API uses a string offset that's returned from the request. Since this is TS, you can't use a string value with the SDK. Is it possible to paginate with the JS SDK?

Hi there,I'm facing this issue unfortunetly i checked on the community but none of the solutions work for me.This is the error: "type" Invalid_Offset_Value - The value of offset 100 is invalid.I'm trying to get 350 rows. I already did a first api call to get the first 100 rows, what i need is to continue with the second call.When i try this url https://api.airtable.com/v0/appOwBv51ihqo****/TableName/?fields%5B%5D=Mese%20Nome everything work fine, when i use the same URL adding the offset value, i get the error: https://api.airtable.com/v0/appOwBv51ihqo****/TableName/?fields%5B%5D=Mese%20Nome&offset=100What am i doing wrong? I can't work much on the cod

Hi,I have two tables : “clients” and “registration form”. I want to be able to send a registration form to any client no mater if the client is already in my “clients” table or not. (I also have a course table). Lets say I ask for the clients email in the form. If the clients email is already present in my “Clients” table, I want to link the newly created “registration form” record to that specific client in the “Clients” table. If not, I want to create a new record in the “Clients” table with the new client info. Is it possible to achieve this with Airtable or with other tools like fillout? Thank you very much!

Hi everyone 👋I’m trying to find the best way for multiple users to import data (from XLS or CSV files) into the same base — ideally directly through an Interface rather than the Extensions panel.We’ve tried the CSV Import Extension, but: The import mapping doesn’t save across users. Even for the same user, it sometimes resets or forgets the previous mapping. There’s no way to create or reuse “import templates” for different file types or tables. What we’d really like is: A way for different users to upload a file (XLS or CSV) through an Interface form or button, Automatically import it into a target table using a consistent field mapping, And ideally store those mappings permanently (so no need to re-map each time). Is this possible to be done directly with airtbale? Has anyone found a good workaround or script/automation setup that ac

Hi, I am trying to create a PIM solution in Airtable. Anyone that have dos and donts? It should be a fullblown PIM solution with Productdata, translation funktions, images, stock updates from ERP…

Hi.  I´m facing a little problem here. I need to get an iframe from an interface to embed it on my wordpress site, but i realised Airtable is no longer allowing this. Is there anyway to achieve so??? Thanks in advance
