Can a Salesforce Integration be Done Via API? I can’t stand using Salesforce and due to acquisition, our company has multiple instances, which screws up data integrity. I’m using Airtable on the side to clean up records but would love to be able to pull in fields form Salesforce or publish new data back to Salesforce.

What is included with Cobuilder with free plans. Her it says trial and limited. Do they mean trial is for free accounts and limited is for legacy plans? The price list says AI is not available for free plans anyways, but I assume Cobuilder and AI are different features. 

I've spent some time building some Interfaces and found that the best way to group things the way I want is to have a new table that holds groups as Linked Records. Here's the set-up:Table 1: Events{Day}{Month}{Year}{Roster}Table 2: Roster{Day}{Month}{Year}{Events (Multiple)}This way I can roll up the team members and even build interfaces that help the Admin side adjust the roster by viewing a day's overview and then clicking into individual events. This all works perfectly!Now I want to automate. I can build the automations to create or update the records in the Roster Table triggered when the Event table is updated. However, this seems largely inefficient. Sometimes when I edit events in bulk, it creates multiple Roster records since they all get updated simultaneously.At the moment, I'm triggering this "manually" with a checkbox field. But this means I hav

Hey all! I have what I suspect is an array issue with Airtable's back-end, but it's preventing me from filtering on the front end, so I would love some help.I have 3 tables: Books, Products, and Authors. A book might have multiple authors, and each author may or may not have a bio. I have made a roll-up in the books table for author bios with this formula: IF(values, ARRAYJOIN(values, "\n\n"), BLANK())I have also tried it with just the ARRAYJOIN, and no if statement.I then have a 1-to-1 relationship between Books and Products. In the Products table, I have a look-up of the roll-up of the bios in the Books table. Here's the issue: when a title has multiple authors, but none of them has a bio, the roll-up should obviously return blank. The look-up in the products table should return blank. But when I filter products by having the look-up be blank, the record in question won't show up. I tried filtering by newlines, whitespace, anythin

I can't get Block SDK to work with Personal Access Tokens. It doesn't accept the format and returns...Error: ❌ Invalid Airtable API key specified.

Hi there!I need to send calendar invites by email automation to people I book for events. I'm using Make to create the calendar invite and upload it as a file in Airtable.Then, I'm using automations to send the .ics file as an email attachment to people I book for my events. They can then download it from their email and it creates a calendar invite for them. Everything seem to work just fine when I test things.However, I have two types of emails to send via automations : Initial invitation when I'm booking someone to an event :Triggered when the entry matches conditionsSends email with .ics attachmentThis one doesn't work and the error is 'An attachment url is disallowed' Updates (for when something changes such as the event durati

In airtable I have created an automation 'send email'. I 'insert value from field', the field being a number. The number comes from an Airtable field which is a formula that is formatted to $123,456. The 'insert value from field' is not formatted and comes out in the email as 123456.123456789. How can I pass the field format to the inserted value?

Hi, I'm Charlie a newbie to the community and to no code tools, Airtable specifically. My reason for learning Airtable is to use it  to develop a way to handle registrations for blanketsofblessing.com outreach to newborn to 7 years old.  The information on the registrations has to be sorted in different ways and this has been done by hand in past years.  It is nice to be here and I appreciate the opportunity to join.

Hello!I have a formula field set to format as a percent in the table. That field is then part of a linked record lookup field in a table that will trigger automation to send emails. I want to share that percentage in the email. However, when I use the lookup field in the body of the email, it only allows me to include the number as a decimal.  Is there a way to get this to show the percentage?The original formula field formatted as a percent:The lookup field settings:The automation's email token:The result in the email:

Hi Airtable-Community A record is always automatically created in this table if the kick-off or planned completion date changes. At the top is always the data that was entered when the project was created. Below that, an entry is created every time something changes in the timeline.Now I would like to have an additional field that only shows the changes to the timeline.Example:Initial project timeline at creation: 01.09.24-31.12.24Change of the timeline to: 01.09.24- 30.01.25Displayed date field 01.01.25-30.01.25I would then like to display this in a timeline: At best somehow on top of each other so that you can easily see how the timeline changes.best regardsMirko

I am working on a database for a daycare. I have a table called Time Sheets with fields Arrival (date), Departure (date) and Duration (duration). (There are other fields in this table to link to each child.)I have a second table called Meals with fields Name, Start Time and End Time (currently they are all single line text). This table has 4 records:Breakfast, 7:30am, 8:35amMorning Snack, 10:30am, 11:00amLunch, 12:15pm, 12:45pmAfternoon Snack, 4:00pm, 4:30pmI want to determine if a child qualifies for each meal based on when they arrived and departed. If the child is present when each meal is served, they qualify. What is the best way to do this? I am still in the early building stages for this database, so if I need to reorganize tables and such, now is the time.Thanks in advance,Mr. Brad B.

We have formulas to check character counts and they're returning with "over character count" for long text that is actually not over character count because they're adding characters for line breaks. Is there a way to adjust the formula to not include line breaks as a character?For example, this would return 338:Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce ac magna volutpat, pretium arcu non, ullamcorper erat. Donec dictum eros in tellus elementum sollicitudin. Morbi sit amet justo purus. Phasellus interdum eros eu quam euismod, sed efficitur lorem fermentum. Sed neque metus, dapibus at sapien at, pellentesque placerat ipsum. But the same text with line breaks would return 342 and if the character count formula were set to 340, would show as over cc:Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.Fusce ac magna volutpat, pretium arcu non, ullamcorper erat.Donec dictum eros in tellus ele

Hey all, I have a table which is a  synced report from Salesforce that shows me opportunities coming up for renewal. I also created a different table with the same fields but is populated from the Salesforce report "SFDC Renewals Report" via automation: When condition is met (opportunity ID is not empty) - then create record in the second table "AE<>RAE Worksheet". My issue is that we moved accounts around in Salesforce and now some accounts have a different Renewal Account Executive or Sales Person. I cannot figure out how to automate the update of that Renewal Account Executive field in the "AE<>RAE Worksheet" to match the one in the synced salesforce report.  Any help is greatly appreciated

Greetings Airtable CommunityI have a long text field with RTF formatting enabled. The text includes links to web pages, emails, and phone numbers. The web links are working perfectly, as are the email links (using mailto:)—but the phone numbers are not working.When formatting the phone numbers, I did the following:1) Highlighted the phone number2) Clicked on the link icon3) Entered tel: and the number (+3606500000)But when I click on the link, I see that the system has inserted 'http://' in front of tel: and this takes me to a "can't open the page" error instead of initiating a phone call. The system hasn't inserted 'http://' in front mailto:Thanks in advance for suggesting a solution! 🙏

I can't understand why the dashboard doesn't have a search function.How can we create a filter that includes a search function?

I use a lot of links to aid users in jumping from one interface to another, with the links having the RecordID baked in so that the jump brings you to the same record on that new interface. This allows for workflow specific interfaces and quick navigation. However there is a couple interfaces that are not letting me do so that i am wondering if there is a workaround or feature im missing? Jump to Timeline Interface with sidesheet of selected Record open (OR to timeline with bubble popup of selected record)Standard timeline url's do not contain the recordID when you click open the popup bubble nor the expanded sidesheet. There is a "link to record" button on the sidesheet, but when analyzing the link it generates it does not use RecordID as an identifier either. However there is a small string of characters that is unique but not sure what it ties to.Jump to Grid Interface of Subtasks filtered on sele

Hi everyone!I'm looking for a way to automatically set the time to 00:00 for certain entries in Airtable that have a date field. The goal is to allow some entries to have a specific time (like for flight schedules) while others default to 00:00 (such as open train tickets). I’ve tried using forms to set a default time, but the options only allow me to set a specific date and time or use the current date and time, which doesn’t work for my needs. Does anyone know how to achieve this?Thanks!

Hello, I have a Airtable Table that sorts different records by release date. I want to be able to manually re-order the different records that have the same release date (as many of them do) but for some reason I can't figure out how to do that? I've tried to turn off automatic sorting and then manually re-arrange my records but as soon as I turn automatic sorting back on, it overwrites my changes. Anybody got a fix or insight for this?
