Hello, I am working on integrating my google calendar with my airtable base so that I can include all of the meetings that I have with members of my contact list on their contact profile as a linked record to the calendar table. I created an automation to do this for me (see below). The issue that I have found is that when more than 1 of the contacts that are added to the calendar invite for the meeting is found within my big "Contacts" table, it will grab the unique IDs for both of the contacts and it goes to add my calculated field (the first one in the image below, my primary field, and the only field that I want to add), to my synced calendar "Contacts" field within my calendar table. 

Why I cant reply to actionable messages on Slack?  When clicking in slack I always keep receiving the same reply."You do not have access to this Airtable record, or it has been deleted" Thats impossible as Im the owner of the base and workspace. How may I fix this? Thanks

I have two tables with the same fieldsTable 1. Current Data (Read-only)Table 2. Proposed Draft (Read/Write)I want users to be able to edit records in the second table. Table 2 can then be submitted to a workflow. If approved, data from Table 2 will be joined to Table 1.Essentially, is it possible to join (concatenate) one table to another with the same fields?

The problem is, for example when creating a new table from import, and having fields with 0s and 1s, it imports. then you change the field type to checkbox, and everything works.Now, if you already have those fields as checkbox, and delete all the data from the table for ex, then import back in, the fields doesn't recognize the data and every checkbox field is just blank. the system should already determine when importing back the data to map correctly to the checkbox type field. and dont omite data.Best regards, Lorenzo  

Hello! I have the below table that list Rooms with the associated Furniture and Accessories that belong in them. I would like to be able to filter on a field in a separate table for Client ID. The thing is because I’m keeping track of Rooms over time for each client, multiple Client ID names display when I link the below table to the other table for Client ID. I tried to filter on 1 particular client’s name for Client ID, I could also see the other clients that have used the same type of furniture pieces. I only want to see information for 1 person. I hope this makes sense. Is there a way to make this happen?

HI, I want to be able to select multiple records in a base and update a field in all selected records. I’m thinking this will probably need a script where I can enter a value and then push a button to update all selected records with that value. Has anyone done this or have an idea to get me started please? Thanks

One Relative Table "Booking" to a Timeline View of another Table "Front Desk" has a Rollup Field "Error": "IF(COUNTALL(ARRAYUNIQUE(values))=1, FALSE(), TRUE())", which calculates if was error or not.Interface of a Timeline "Front Desk" is not showing correct color by a condition. Airtable Table works fine. Only a issue in Interface. Thanks.P. S. When I update values in a Table, Rollup field calculation is correct. Interface works only at the beginning, after - no changes (color stays the same). In Interface in DevTools during resizing of Timeline i see such errors...and Rollup Field looks like that

Hello, I have been invited as an editor of another user's database. I pay for the team plan, and the other user does as well. However, the creator of the database is being charged for having me as an editor. Is this correct? If I already pay for the team plan, why does he have to pay for giving me permission to be an editor in his database?

Hello,I was hoping that somebody could tell me what I have set up wrong in this update record automation. Every time it runs I get an error message emailed to me. I have included three screenshots, one for the trigger, one for the find records action and one for the record update action. Any help I could get would be most appreciated.

We’re working on creating reporting interfaces for our projects and have hit a snag. We’re trying to filter records based on Status while grouping them by Company using the tab functionality in Airtable. However, Airtable keeps automatically grouping the records by both Status and Company, which defeats the purpose of using the tabs as status indicators.Does anyone know how to prevent this additional grouping? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello! I have an idea for an automation and I'm not sure how to go about it. I have an automation (in zapier) currently where when the referral source is left blank when an employee schedules a client in our scheduling software, the client name and email is added to an Airtable base so that we have a running list of who to reach out to and ask for the info. I wonder if it's possible to send an email to the employee asking for the referral source. I was thinking it'd be great to just send an airtable form but I don't know if I can send a form that would update an existing record? The referral field is not always applicable so making it required isn't an option. The existing automation filters whether the referral source is needed. The process in my head goes like this:-New record is added to Airtable base that includes name and email. The record also has a single choice field that is left blank with the possible options.-An email is sent with an airtable for

Hey guys! Noticed a bug on the interface timeline view.Basically when assigning a record a color by condition. Sometimes it updates automatically and sometimes you have to refresh the page to see the update. The below Loom video demonstrates what I'm talking about.https://www.loom.com/share/6690d90b80f044d6910db33fc16883ea

I have a business plan.I have set sharing permissions for a new interface to 'general access' - ie anyone at my organisation can see interface. When i view as them in editor mode i can see the interface. However, when they log in they cant see it.Any ideas? 

Hi there, I'm new here, was hoping someone could help guide me on a small problem I cannot seem to resolve. I need a simple solution and instructions how to create a roll up of some designs in my list. So that when a design has more than one color, I can leave it rolled up, so when I am scrolling, I am not going through loads of the same design.So, as you can see [a] is the first one and any after that b, c, d, etc. will roll up underneath. I tried using roll up but really not sure what I am doing. I'm obviously doing it wrong and wondering if there is a simple workaround that I don't know of.I have many designs I want to do this for too.The second picture I have moved a, b, c, d, etc. from the SKU to a line of its own but unsure what to do next. I need a step-by-step guide, if possible, please.

I have a table (source table) synced via a one-way sync to a table in another base (target table). I recently changed the name of a field in the source table, and I noticed that the name of the field in the target table did not update to match the updated field name of the source table. Is there a way to automatically sync the field names, or do I have to manually update the field name in the target table? Thank you for your help. 

It won’t find the slack channel I need and when I use the “Find channel” option I can’t search for it either because when I type it into the search field it doesn’t do anything. If I hit return, it just picks whatever channel is at the top of the list and doesn’t search for what I entered.

I recently switched from google drive to dropbox for my content uploads and when I try to add a photo into the attachment from my dropbox integration it only shows me the content in my dropbox in a list view rather than a grid view. I'd like to see it in a grid view so I can see all the photos as is and not as the file name. Is there a way to change this? TIA!

Trying to import an Excel file into Airtable with selections in Excel field.  Is this supported by Airtable's import function?  

Hello,I am looking for some help on an automation I am trying to run.  I am trying to use a make.com webhook with airtable so that when a new record shows up in airtable it sends the webhook to make.com.  I have the script that I am using and the connection and everything works but the webhook does not send the correct bundle of information.  It sends the record ID and then just generic information like 'header 'recipient', etc.  I am a school teacher and not a coder so I have been trying to get Chatgpt to help me with the script and I feel I am really close but don't know the scripting language enough to diagnose the problem.  Any help would be appreciated.let table = base.getTable("Injury Report Form");let recordId = input
