Hi, following these instructions Sending Airtable Data to Microsoft Power BI & Power Query | Airtable Support I was able to link a single Airtable table to PowerBI and this works very well. However, I would like to link multiple tables from the same Base to PowerBI. Does anyone know how to solve this? Cheers!

Hello,I am coding a specific HTML form with google script and airtable. I am using the webhook automation with my HTML form (using action=" URL of my airtable webhook ").  <form class="form_style" id="subscription_form" action="https://hooks.airtable.com/workflows/v1/genericWebhook/app5FlLF4JRKgnLGQ/wfle1FROme98xqd3d/wtr9QlkcULz" method="POST">  All work fine but I am always redirected to the airtable success message. I tried to use AJAX with google script and Airtable but had no success (I saw that CORS is a problem with webhook automation). I want to stay on the page and display a success message (form submitted on the same page). Could it be possible and could you help me, please? Best regards

I have received a support request from one of my organisation’s users, copied below. Does anyone have any suggestions? Do AirTable forms bug on some browsers, for example? Other users have used the form and we have received the data. Many thanks in advance, Julie "I have just spent 3 hours filling in the form (Make a Policy Development Request) to have all the information I entered wiped. this is the 3rd time i have tried to present my proposal on this webpage to have all information wiped. this is highly frustrating."

When using a simple Send Email Automation action, it is very easy to insert of "List of Records" and select which fields to show. I have this setup for an automation that is sending a confirmation email when a form is submitted, and I want them to receive a confirmation email with their form submission details integrated into the message. Once those forms are submitted, various other actions are done to a status field to indicate the applications path through our processes. For those applications that are still pending an approval from an outside client, their status is "Still Pending". I would like to create an automation that on a certain date/deadline resends the original message that is sent to the approver. I have built a second automation to trigger on that date, and "Find Records" that are "Still Pending". Once it creates that list, the action should "Repeat for each record" in the list, and send a custom email. I wanted to just duplicate the original message. This wor

Hello!I'm using a prefilled form URL field. When a customer submits a button it opens the prefilled form in the corresponding URL field.The problem is that it works perfectly on desktop, but when using App, the prefilled form formula does not work.Is this expected bahaviour?Thanks!

Hi, I want to generate a vcard file from my records automatically. I already connected my Airtable to my app (Adalo) where I receive my users information. If I could generate a vcard file I could export it back with Zapier to my app, but I didn’t find that how could I generate it. Maybe a formula, but I’m not sure about it. Thank you in advance!

Edit:Airtable response: Our engineering team has successfully deployed a fix for this issue (which arose from a recent update to our code) and any automations referencing an attachment should now run as expected without error.It's working again. Thank you all.---Hello.I've been using the Send Email action in automations for more than a year. Always worked great. In the Send Email action, in the Attachments section (Bottom) I selected the column that contained the file, and that file was attached in the email.3 days ago, my automation worked fine. But today, when the automation triggered, there was a problem (An attachment url is disallowed):I already turned off and on the automation, changed the trigger, changed pdf file for jpg, and always the same error.I tried the automation with records that already triggered a few days ago and worked fine (My trigger is a Single select column, so, to trigger it again, I deleted the value in the single select field, and select it again).

Hi all,Can someone please assist me in linking my worklist with a reference table? Essentially what I'm trying to accomplish is to pull in information from a reference sheet into the main worklist whenever a couple conditions match.For example, if the "Region" listed on the worklist is AL-1 and the Insurance number is 4, it will search the reference table and pull in the 4th insurance plan from that specified region and import that plan name into the master list which will ultimately be displayed in the interface view.

Hi,I'm looking at abstractifying our e-mail contents to streamline the process. E-mail content is now stored in the automations itself, but I'd like to move it to a dedicated table. Our automations use a fair bit of dynamic content, such as <first name> in the opening line, derived from various "Find Records" steps.I tried to construct the desired e-mail content with a "List of <first name>" token and just copy/paste it to a Long Text field with formatting turned on. Airtable changed the variable to @Unknown and threw an error "Invalid data - you have to refresh the page", and didn't store anything of the pasted text.Is there way to build the whole e-mail content including variables into a template stored in a table?Rgds,Björn

Hi,In our CRM we started with building stuff for a workflow for one customer area, say "nature". Knowing from the beginning there'd later be a need for other areas too, I put a categorising "tag" in place. So we have the leads and some other key data labelled with tags like "nature", "sports", "food" and "music".There are a lot of email automation built in for this workflow. The other areas will largely have the process steps and hence hopefully very close to the same workflow.Starting looking at adding the other three areas to yet only simple email confirmations and reminders (there are more complex automations also) I got a bit stuck. I guess I could build Conditional Logic steps for each of the cases. However, as I now understand it, this would require to also hard code Find Records steps for each case.As there may need to be some updates and other actions too, I'm afraid I'll run out of steps at some point. It also bothers me to hard code all the cases, since there may be more area

I’m going to presume the answer is “no”, but is there really no way to wrap the text (esp title text) of a card when presented in kanban or gallery view? Has anyone found the CSS rules that can be changed in Developer Tools, perhaps?

Hi Airtable Community,I’m facing a challenge with importing large CSV files (10000+ records) into Airtable and would love some guidance. Specifically, I need to automatically detect and delete duplicate records upon adding or updating via CSV import.Currently, I’m using a script to handle duplicates, but due to Airtable's 30-second execution limit, it times out when processing high-volume data. I’d appreciate any suggestions on:Optimized duplicate detection and deletion methods that can handle large data volumes quickly and efficiently, potentially in batch processing.Alternative automations or built-in Airtable solutions that would automatically identify duplicates at the point of import, or shortly thereafter, to help with overall processing speed and accuracy.If anyone has successfully managed similar high-volume imports or has insights on achieving faster processing, I’d be grateful for your advice!Thanks in advance.

Hello,I'm looking for a task list where I can set interval dates for a task and then have the base automation send an email reminder every so often to the individual to complete the task.  Or instead (in addition) have a dashboard where this data could be displayed in some capacity (perhaps filtered and sorted by job tasks that are overdue).I also want the user to be able to log in and check when they completed the task for a certain date.Let me know if you have any advice on this! Thank you!

Since space is limited, is there a way to limit file sizes for files uploaded via forms? Thanks.

Hey, I want to set up an automation, that will be triggered when the form is submitted and it will send the filled-out information to make.com so I can then use the submitted data in make.com. I couldn't find make.com in the supported apps that are available when setting up automation in Airtable. I also couldn't find the option to create a custom webhook. I saw that some people did it in the community, but I couldn't find how. So, Is there a way to create automation that sends submitted information from airtable to make.com triggered when the form is submitted? 

If a record is updated it would be awesome to sent the data to a webhook url. How would you do that?

I have created a form to collect input into my airtable, and have it embedded in a webpage vis iframe. Form loads and works fine, but the input fields are displayed in a narrow column down centre of page, rather than loading edge-to edge in the browser window. On moble, this makes the form look very small/unusabel. Is possible to zoom in but I’d much prefer the form loads so that the columns of input fields is displayed at max size in the available browser window. I’ve tried both with and without header graphic in the form, and have specified 100% width for the iframe. Anyone got some ideas what else to try to force load my Airtable form at max width?

Hi Airtable gurus,I am trying to create an automation that will locate a specifc record based on the record ID then update the Status field.It would look like this:Trigger: When a webhook is received (an invoice is paid in Stripe) I actually have the webook createdEvent: 1. Locate record (the appointment record that was created based on a Calendly appointment creation), 2. Update that record to reflect that the invoice for that appointment was PAIDI feel like I am close to getting the automation to work, but I can't figure out how to find that appointment record based on the record ID. Any help would be so appreciated! 

I want to show a shared table view with shared table view link at the office on a TV in Kiosk mode. I have a Raspberry Pi running a browser in Kiosk mode to power the TV. Here’s the question: does the shared view auto-update itself? If I just leave running on TV, and then edit some info in my computer, are those edits reflected on the TV? I guess I could hack the browser to automatically refresh itself, but it would be more convenient if the shared links already worked like that :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello. I'm struggling to find a way to combine the contents of several Multiple Select field into a new field, while retaining the value and color for each entry. Here's a stripped down version of what I'm trying to do: I've got 4 separate multiple select field, each with their own set of options. The field called "Combined Types (Manual)" shows what I want the output to be. How can I aggregate all that data while retaining the color coding for each one? Thanks a lot.
