Hello all! I am looking for a way to add images to calendar event automations. Right now we are using outlook’s native calendar application to send out invites to clients and attaching an image of a map to help point them to where they should head during their scheduled appointment. But i figure if we have an automation that can send these invites out at the push of a button, it would save a ton of time. We are already capturing all the information we need to send out these invites in airtable, and all of those translate into the calendar event automation, but we can’t figure out how to include the map images. We tried an tag, but that doesn’t work. What would be the best way to go about it? Can an image be added inline with an calendar event?

Hoping this is an easy enough set-up! I’m trying to create volunteer sign-ups for specific events, where there will be a fixed list of approved volunteers that can sign-up (so they would select their name from a linked field). Aside from manually closing out the form after a certain number of sign-ups, is there a way to indicate that we have 10 slots available and turn it off after that time?

Thanks in advance.  And sorry if this has already been answered.  I couldn't find a good post about this.Developing a base to track opportunities based on a weekly call and ~20 columns of relevant data in many different data formats.  I'd like to use one table to use as the working table and another that shows the opportunity and its revision history as the working table gets populated.  What is the best way to go about this?  For example, each week we may populate a "Progress" field that is a few bullet points on progress made and obstacles.  I want to somehow populate another table that allows selection of a particular Opportunity shows the history of the each of the 20 (now 19 since Opportunity is not longer a column) columns in an easily digestible format.   I need a way to very quickly populate the working table and a method to quickly review the resulting history of the data.  Thanks a lot!The way we are handling it now is in

My first post! This community has been very helpful. I’m still fairly new to airtable and hope someone can help with this problem. I have a Google Sheet with a date field, a start time field, and a stop time field. I want to import it into a table with 2 fields: {date and start time} and {stop time}. I tried to join fields in google sheets, then upload, but it only uploads the date correctly, and the time is ‘12:00am’. I’ve tried different date/time formats, but that hasn’t worked, and made the problem worse in some cases. For example it only works with the 12 hr format, when I tried 24 hour, neither the date nor time uploaded. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I'm new to Airtable and am very stuck here trying to achieve counting a number of records and showing it in a different table.The columns I want to count are: "Plege1", "Pledge2" and "Pledge3" in "Table1", count the number of "True" entry of all three columns, sum up and record the number in "Table2".I was able to create a formula to count the number of "True" entry for each record, but I can't think of a way to show the sum of all records in "Table2". Could someone help with this? Any suggestion is very much appreciated. Thank you!  

Hi! I am attempting to create a base in Airtable where we can keep track of website data analytics and trends over time as well as tie it back to major page updates and changes. I believe I have a solid understanding of how to create a table for our content changes; where I am struggling is with the structuring of website analytics data. I am currently pulling data every 30 days from AHRefs and Google Analytics, looking at page value, traffic, rank, keywords, etc. We want to track how each landing page performs over time. Historically, I have done this in Excel but we want to integrate updates made to pages and tie that into how page is performing. I am having a hard time visualizing the best way to set up a table for this. In Excel, I would use multiple lines of data for the same URL. Each data pull for the month would get its own row and would be designated by the date of the pull (for last 30 days of data). This would essentially create 2 lines of data per year for one landing page

Hello all! I have a two part problem for you. Our team is trying to figure out a way of syncing multiple tables, across different bases, into a singular table that will collect project information ( specifically start and end dates, capacity hours, etc) about each project we have running across the different project bases. This newly created table should be dynamic in updating its information as it is actively changed within those exterior bases and tables. With this newly developed table, we wanted to then create a timeline view that measures team capacity (in workable hrs per week vs. how many hours each task takes to complete) across all of the collective projects. Ideally, this information is synced from the newly created table that is acting as a hub and contains all of this information from other bases. Is this at all possible within Airtable, or have any workarounds been found to tackle a similar problem? Thank you!

Hello, I’m trying to find the best way to have reports with attachments (photos) automatically post to our team Slack channel upon submission. Basically, I have set up a form that my team can complete that allows for an attachment (photo) upload. After submission I have the automations set up to post to Slack. Everything works except the image will normally have “file not found.” I have the URL set to forward to Slack. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi there, I’m looking to create a formula column based off a column which has multiple fields.The Column has one or multiple of SD/HD, UHD, HDR or SDR.I want to create a new column called “Available in UHD?” where if one of UHD, HDR or SDR is there then show Yes. If it has only SD/HD then show no. Any help would be appreciated.

can you please help me convert this to the proper duration format? OR maybe into Seconds.I have the formula below:VALUE(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE({Fulfillment Time}, ' minutes and ', ':'), FIND(' seconds', SUBSTITUTE({Fulfillment Time}, ' minutes and ', ':')) - 1)) But it will return an incorrect number or 0 seconds if the Fulfillment Time would have "1 minute" or "1 second" since the formula above only captures "minutes" and "seconds". I've been trying to find solution for days now.Temporarily, I'm cleaning the data thru Google sheet changing the minute to minutes and second to seconds. Also adding 0 seconds if the data only says (sample) "3 minutes" and adding 0 minutes if the data only says (sample) "45 seconds". PLEASE HELP

Hi! looking for help using Integromat - i’ve been trying to use Gmail Watch function and extract the attachment to Airtable but couldn’t get it working.

Hi there,I have a multi-sync table that collects tasks from different bases.More precisely: I have Team A Base and their tasks, Team B Base and their tasks and Team C Base and their tasks and collect all tasks from both teams in multi-sync base "All tasks" (for cross-functional teams that work with all 3 teams). Now I know I can sync back edits to each base with two-way sync.What I would like to achieve though is that I see all tasks from all teams in all task tables (Team A, Team B, Team C and All tasks). That way, every team can continue working in their own base with increased transparency and without missing a tasks (e.g., I am part of Team A, but team B assigns a task to me --> I would miss this task if I don't check out Team B Base or All Tasks).Does anybody have more insights here?Thanks and best, Steffi

Hi, there!! I need an automation to do exactly what the subject of the topic says. We’ll fill the e-mail field in Table 2 from a csv import. Then we need the automation to lookup that email on Table 1, get the Name value corresponding and then fill the field Aluno in table 2. I found a script in another post that I adapted to what I need but I’m still learning to code so I need help to fix my script. Can anyone pleeeease give me a help? About the script: I added 2 variables - tho I don’t actually need record ID - but I followed the instructions on the other post. Variable 1 is recordID and the value is Airtable record ID Variable 2 is email and the value is email Both variables are being pulled from Table 2 let config = input.config(); let table1 = base.getTable("Base de Alunos"); let table2 = base.getTable("Entregas Plataforma"); let query = await table1.selectRecordsAsync({fields: table1.fields}); let found = query.records.filter(record => record.getCellValueAsString("Nome") == c

Hi all, apologies if this question has been asked and answered already. [EDIT: attached a screenshot since the embedding images don't seem to work.]I am creating a table of contacts for relationship management. For each person, I have the fields "Introduced by" (whoever introduced me to them) and "Introduced me to" (whoever they've suggested I talk to). I want these fields to mutually autopopulate. For example, if John Doe suggests I talk to Johnny Day and Jane Smith, and I've put Johnny and Jane in John's "Introduced me to" field, I want "John Doe" to automatically appear in their "Introduced by" fields, instead of having to do it manually:Ideally, it should work the other way around as well. If I put "John Doe" in Jane and Johnny's "Introduced by" field, their names should automatically appear in John Doe's "Introduced me to" field. The logic is something like: if {introduced me to}(N) contains {contact name}(M), add {contact name}(N) to {introduced by}(M) an

I want to know when an approved campaign goes back in to revisions so that I can review it again. I have multiple other reasons to want to know when a campaign status changes and what the previous status was; e.g., trigger subtasks for team members, notify leadership etc.I use the following statuses: planning, assigned, in progress, completed, approved, scheduled and launched.and two nonsequential values (revisions, missing inputs) that can be used at any point in the process.What I currently set up:The status field is a single-selectAn automation that captures every change in campaign status and populates another tableThat status tracker table is linked to the campaigns tableThe status tracker table has a 'status field' last modified date fieldWhat I want is a way to compare the previous status field to the current status field so I can trigger actions based off of the new status. What I cannot figure out is how to connect the most previous status to the current status. Any help

Hi Airtable Community!When I create line charts in Interface designer and group data by some criterion, the values ​​are not visualized the same way as if I did not group the records. (Related chart setting enabled)Please help.

I have a base for supervisors to approve staff requests. I'd like it so supervisors cannot see each others requests or notes. So I have built an interface that is set so they can only see 'Viewers records only,' which is looking at the field: Supervisor, which is a user field. So now I need to add my supervisors to the user field but I cannot see how to do that without adding them to the base itself, which I don't want them to have access to. It will let me add them one by one via their email and it says it won't add them to the base, but I need them in the actual dropdown (for automation purposes). Is there a way to do this? I'm finding it hard to believe that I can shut down access to the base for privacy (by not adding them as collaborators), OR shut down access to the interface for privacy (by using the 'viewers records only' feature), but not both?!
