Hi Airtable team, I am trying to upload more than 1 file with Integromat iterator and the logic works but Airtable “kiils” the last action and uploading only 1 file. How can i use Integromat and arrays to upload multiple files to the same field without deleting the previous ones? Thanks!

I am creating a contact management database.The master database contains all the fields related to a person. The unique field in each record will be the email.This database needs to be updated from two different source. Each source has the same data but the header fields (field names) are labeled differently, and are different from the master.Example:Source one:  First name is labeled  "f_name"Source two:  First name is labeled  "first_name"Master:          First name is labeled  "First Name"What I want to be able to do is create a relationship between each of the sources to the master using the email (which is unique in all databases) as the key field. Each source will have (needs to have) it's own field mapping to the master. Whenever any of the source databases is updated, a single table in the Master database will be updated. I am talking one master tab

Hey I'm quite new but couldn't find an answer : I'm looking to show the average of a column in the interface. To be specific, I have a set of data from one table and I'm selecting certain data from another table, and I want to calculate the average of specific values from this other table in the interface. (It's for managing events, so I have a list of events in one table and another table with all our members and for example their age, and I select the participants in the specific activity and want to be able to calculate the average for example of the age of the participants from the list of members).Hope it's kinda clear, thanks!!

I have an Airtable database set up where we track entrepreneurs we work with in Sprints (Jan-Apr, May-Aug, Sept-Dec). One feature I need to implement is a way for our team members to submit revenue updates as often as they need based on entrepreneurs they work with that earn revenue.The way I currently have it set up is the following:I have a form created called revenue updates for the team to submit when they need revenue updates for their entrepreneursIn the form and in the airtable database, I field called "Guarantee Period Revenue" where they enter their revenue information and they select the entrepreneurs name from a drop-down field that connects back to the main database recordThis has been working; however, there are 2 issues that the team faces:When they enter the revenue into the field, they must remember what was previously entered and add the current revenue + new revenue before submitting the form.Entrepreneu

I've got an automation that creates new records based on content in the triggered record, but the linked info disappears after about 5 seconds and I see the attached screenshot.A more concrete example - I've got a project record that I can add defined tasks to from a task template table. I made a button to generate new task instances for those linked tasks in that project. Those task instances have a link back to the task template record.Initially everything works as expected, and I go to my tasks instance view and I see the new task instances that are linked back to the task template. But, after 5 seconds they disappear and I see the attached screenshot for the linked task template fields. 

i have this piece of codetry: # Step 1: Search for the record with the given unique ID print("stage 1") search_url = f'{url}?filterByFormula={{Part unique No 1}}="unique_id"' print("stage 2") search_response = requests.get(search_url, headers=headers) print(search_response) if search_response.status_code == 200: search_result = search_response.json() if search_result

I am looking for an analytics solution for tracking link clicks and counting attachment downloads from embedded airtable views. Is there a good solution out there for this already? I’m having trouble finding a good resource for this. I have several solutions but they’re rather labor intensive and I’m hoping this can just happen automatically after initial setup. User clicks external link from embedded airtable record on website> +1 count in analytics for that link click. I am about to go test this, but does anyone know if you can use a google events to track link clicks in airtable?

Hello,I'm experiencing a bug with a list-type interface that I created for one of our clients. This interface allows them to validate product deliveries. To send the necessary information to the relevant people, I set up an automation linked to a button within this interface.iPhone users are able to send the information without any issues. However, on Android, if the user is only invited to the interface and not to the base itself, the automation does not trigger. Please see the attached photo for reference.

Is there any way to set an automatic log out from Bases? If users are using a base and forget to log out even if they close airtable that persons bases are open to anyone who opens Airtable again on that machine. If there was a way to set an automatic full log out after a period of inactivity this would ensure base privacy. Alternatively could the administrator of the base have the ability to log all users out if necessary.

Hi all,I'm running into some issues and dead ends with getting a linked field to display multiple links the way I need them. Right now, I have a linked field that looks like this:You can see the newest records (the ones on 9.19.24) displayed first, tracking what I sent someone and when I sent it.When I add something new in the future, I would like it to display first (i.e. to the far left), because some of these cells have 50-60 entries.. but apparently Airtable will ONLY sort these by the date a field was created? Also, when expanding this cell, I'm also seeking a way to either 1. limit the number of linked fields that display (i.e. to 2 or 3), and/or be able to add a new linked field at the top of this list:Right now my only option

I have been tasked with automating attendance tracking provided Webex meeting attendance data (which can be downloaded as a CSV). I understand I'd need a common key in order for the data to mesh, but I am struggling to understand how to get Webex and Airtable to talk with each other and update the airtable automatically. Any advice on making Webex and Airtable talk to each other would be welcome. 

I see there is a log formula but I have some formulas using the natural log and that doesn't appear to be an option ive got even though I do have it in excel. Maybe I'm not looking the in the right place. Im wondering if there is a way that I can express LN() in airtable. Thanks for reading

We have a couple of public forms where we are collecting information from customers. (Registration for Ten Digit Long Code (10DLC) SMS/Text-Enabled Landline Telephone Numbers) Once they hit ‘Submit’ they no longer have access to the information. Often times they make mistakes or need to add updates. We would like to be able to generate a URL that we can email or text to the customer that would open the form with whatever is in that particular record (obviously protected by a GUID or something similar a-la shared google docs) Is it possible?

I used the DATETIME_DIFF({Date Due}, TODAY(), ‘days’) formula to give me the number of days until the due date, however, how do I put an IF statement in if there isn’t a start / due date?

Ok, here's the workflow I'm trying to create:User 1 creates a new ticket by completing a form. (Easy)Automation generates an email to User 2, notifying them of the new ticket, including a few details and a link that opens the record in another form, which includes the details from the original ticket submitted and the ability to update the status and other fields as needed, then submitting the form to update the ticket. (???)User 1 gets an automated email, notifying them of the updated ticket. (Also easy)Is it possible to generate url that will open the record in a form to be updated and submitted? If not, could I instead generate a link that opens the record in an interface that I design for that purpose? I'm trying to minimize the opportunity for either user to get confused by other records or the Airtable interface, since neither of them will be Airtable users.Any creative ideas

Hello Airtable Community!I'm exploring the possibility of building an auction system using Airtable and I'm hoping to get some insights on its feasibility. Here's what I'm looking to create:Use Case:An auction system featuring 6 items, each represented by an imageAbility for users to place bids on these itemsA way to recognize and identify users for subsequent bidsReal-time (or near real-time) updates of bid prices as new bids come inCurrent Plan:I'm considering using Airtable as the backbone of this system, potentially with Airtable Interfaces for the front-end. Here's my proposed structure:An "Items" table with fields for item details, current highest bid, and auction end timeA "Bids" table linked to the Items table, recording each bidViews to display active auctions, ended auctions, and bids by itemAn interface with pages

I’m using the from view for people to register for an upcoming round robin event! I’d like to lock submissions after we hit 12 responses. Is there a way or workaround to make this possible? If not, no worries. How can I “lock” it manually to prevent additional entries?

Hi Just wondering if anybody can help with a formula?I'm trying to set up a task (meeting date) that can occur on a Tuesday of say the 1st week, 2nd week, 3rd week or 4th week of the month. So lets say the due day was  Tuesday 02/10/2024 then i'd like to set up a recurring meeting date for the 1st Tuesday of the following month. If the due date was Tuesday 08/10/2024 then it would recur on the 2nd Tuesday the following month and so on.My head is baffled so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’m new to arrays and I think I’m missing something very obvious here but I thought I’d ask and see if someone could point it out to me. I have a base which has two relevant tables, Customer and Other Party. Each Customer could be related to one or more other parties and vice versa each Other Party could be related to one or more Customers. Each table uses the email address as the primary key. I’m trying to connect the two using data fed in from a Cognito form via Integromat. After the form submit trigger, I’ve got it iterating the customers, searching for the relevant Customer Record IDs and aggregating the Record IDs into a new array so the output is Array=Collection1(ID=rec…)/Collection2(ID=rec…). It’s correctly identifying the related customers and their Airtable record IDs, but the problem comes when I try to use that information when I’m creating the records on the Other Party table. There’s a field called “Linked Customer” and I’m

I'm putting together a website/CRM/internet stuff for a window cleaning business. I've looked at Jobber and it seems to offer everything we need but at $100+ per month it's pretty expensive. I tried kickserv which is about half the price for the features we need but my cursory exploration has not been impressive. I love Airtable and I bet the tools have already been developed to make it work. What sites like Jobber do is give an embeddable form that plugs the customer right into the database. They have another form that the worker can use to create an estimate and this of course all gets plugged right into the database. This can all go together and spit out an invoice. These are the main features I need to figure out for Airtable. Some other parts of the Jobber-type solution are things like CC processing and messaging. These are nice to have but aren't essential as long as the system can provide notifications when certain things happen. 

Hi,Our Airtable approach is to provide users with interfaces, nobody works in the base directly. For a Google Calendar event creation automation we now need to add users. The automation is initiated from a button, and its purpose is to create a new event for the user that clicks the button.However, I couldn't figure out a way to make new calendar connections, nor how to make the automation fully follow the "current user" approach.The questions are:(1) I could only find a way to connect new Google Calendars myself (as the admin). Since I don't have, and don't want to have, the users' Google credentials, how can I facilitate new connections? I don't want to extend user access to the base just for this. Some way of sending connection invitations by mail?(2) given I find a solution for the above, I would wish not to hard code a separate conditional logic for each user, so that the Google Calendar entry could be made for the right user. Thus would requi

Currently, the record level revision history shows with the oldest on top. That view also puts newer comments at the end/bottom. If I want to see something recent I have to scroll all the way to the bottom. Is there any way to reverse that so that comments and revision history shows with the most recent at the top?

Hi, I’m starting with Airtable and I think it’s excellent. I try to move all my work with Googlesheet to Airtable, but there is a functionality that I can not find and that I miss. It is the Autocrat complement. With this add-on I automatically generate, with each new record, a pdf file that is also automatically sent instantly by mail to an account extracted from the registry itself. It is necessary for me in my work, and I wonder if it is possible to do this with Airtable and some additional complement, or if on the contrary I should forget about it. Thanks, and excellent work!

I'm working with a client who has a seemingly simple requirement:"Send an email using Airtable data, then later reply to that email to chase the recipient - ensuring that the reply is in the same thread as the original"This is deceptively difficult to achieve from Airtable, and I wanted to ask the community if they've found a great solution.Here's a breakdown of the the problem:Replying - Email clients require the in-reply-to and references headers to contain the Message-Id of the email being replied to in addition to the subject being prefixed with "Re: "Nothing returns the Message-Id - The built in Airtable and Gmail automation actions do not return the message id of the email just sent - nor do they allow you to set the in-reply-to or references headers when sending an email. I looked at Zapier, Make.com, Gumloop. I couldn't find an off the shel
