Hi! I’m trying to embed a calendar view, but the data view isn’t matching the embed view:Data view (the one I want): Embedded view (no bueno): Normally I’d just set the view in the embedded version, but this will be on a TV with a refresh/animation every half an hour, so that’s not really feasible. Any way to fix this? Thanks!

I created an interface with two pages, and one is not showing the information to the viewers. They are getting an error that says "Cannot access this data."Other details...There are two pages in the interface --- one is a list, and one is a record detail page that only allows them to see their own record.They are all able to see their own record, but the list won't show up. The "Users can see" is set to "Specific records" and has one condition on it (status field = active).When I preview the page as the viewers, I'm able to see everything.What am I missing?

Hi all, I have been struggling to figure out a way to solve this all day. I am wanting to track checked out laboratory media in an interface graph so that team members who create the media can see how much is being used per week. I’d like this to be automated for the previous week, but specifically Monday through Sunday of the previous week (so that you can check any day of the current week and the numbers would remain the same for the previous week). My plan for this was to set an automation trigger for early Monday morning, that then finds all records within the last 7 days (all checked out items have creation dates + times for the check-out record), and then marks them with a date for the previous week’s Monday, using the Update Record command (which would be found using a formula field consisting of DATEADD(NOW(), -7, 'days'), which will return the previous Monday (because the trigger to pull from this field is occurring Monday morning). The interface would then pull from values

Hi all, as of today CTRL-F is not opening a search bar within a grid on my interface page.  I use this feature maybe 100 times a day and its a big part of my workflow.I rebooted, signed in/out, tried a different web browser, no luck.  This is hugely disruptive and I’m not particularly interested in creating a new interface list page with the native search feature.  There are other elements on my original page that I reference ALL the time that won’t be visible with a dedicated list.  Anyone else run into this and find a solution?  I submitted a ticket with support and they’ll get back to me in 1 to 2 days….

Hello, Any experience with https://baserow.io/We are interested on features missed from Airtable, or viceversa, features missed from Baserow.And, also imporant any experience regarding migration from/to between those platforms, if any.

I know this has been raised before as a feature request but is there a way to add a default value to a date field through automations or some other mechanism other than pleading airtable to implement or a third party add-on? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, I’m currently testing the ai field agent’s capabilities for automatized tagging of records, but I’ve come across a limitation that I seek to overcome with your help: No centralized tag management. When using the field agent for direct ai tagging, I have not found any option to provide tags in a centralized way, similar to how you can do with linked fields for human tagging. There is the ai recommendation option integrated into the linked record field, but this does only add a recommendation for human usage. Is there a way to have it both? The centralized tagging table and ai field agent tagging? I’m considering injecting an accumulated list, of all entries in my tag table, into the prompt of a simple text ai field agent and have it output it’s selection as a list, which hopefully could be linked via automatization features.

Hello the script I am pairing with my tables is not running a test and giving me feedback on whether it is completed or not.  It just started today as well.  I checked my account limits and have not exceeded them.  Can anyone advise on this issue?

Hello. Thanks for any help on this.Can someone point me to a similar procedure that does the following:After a record is updated:User clicks a button to send a text with information from the updated record A SMS text is sent with this information to a constant, static list of telephone numbers.I’ve looked up several things on Youtube related to this, but they always seem to be too simple for what I’m looking for or too complex.I do use Zapier.  I did create a trial Twilio account.  I don’t mind sending with my own phone, this will only be 4-5 texts per week to 2 or 3 people.Just pointing me to a similar process I think I’ll be able to sort it out.Thank you.

When using the Airtable JS SDK, it seems impossible to use the offset with select to do proper pagination. The type specifies `number` but any value I pass gives me an invalid value error. The web API uses a string offset that's returned from the request. Since this is TS, you can't use a string value with the SDK. Is it possible to paginate with the JS SDK?

Hi there,I'm facing this issue unfortunetly i checked on the community but none of the solutions work for me.This is the error: "type" Invalid_Offset_Value - The value of offset 100 is invalid.I'm trying to get 350 rows. I already did a first api call to get the first 100 rows, what i need is to continue with the second call.When i try this url https://api.airtable.com/v0/appOwBv51ihqo****/TableName/?fields%5B%5D=Mese%20Nome everything work fine, when i use the same URL adding the offset value, i get the error: https://api.airtable.com/v0/appOwBv51ihqo****/TableName/?fields%5B%5D=Mese%20Nome&offset=100What am i doing wrong? I can't work much on the cod

Hi,I have two tables : “clients” and “registration form”. I want to be able to send a registration form to any client no mater if the client is already in my “clients” table or not. (I also have a course table). Lets say I ask for the clients email in the form. If the clients email is already present in my “Clients” table, I want to link the newly created “registration form” record to that specific client in the “Clients” table. If not, I want to create a new record in the “Clients” table with the new client info. Is it possible to achieve this with Airtable or with other tools like fillout? Thank you very much!

Hi everyone 👋I’m trying to find the best way for multiple users to import data (from XLS or CSV files) into the same base — ideally directly through an Interface rather than the Extensions panel.We’ve tried the CSV Import Extension, but: The import mapping doesn’t save across users. Even for the same user, it sometimes resets or forgets the previous mapping. There’s no way to create or reuse “import templates” for different file types or tables. What we’d really like is: A way for different users to upload a file (XLS or CSV) through an Interface form or button, Automatically import it into a target table using a consistent field mapping, And ideally store those mappings permanently (so no need to re-map each time). Is this possible to be done directly with airtbale? Has anyone found a good workaround or script/automation setup that ac

Hi, I am trying to create a PIM solution in Airtable. Anyone that have dos and donts? It should be a fullblown PIM solution with Productdata, translation funktions, images, stock updates from ERP…

Hello.I am new to Airtable and I have a question concerning linking to another record. Is it possible to automate this process so that data from every record from a field (column) on the "source" table may be copied to a field on the "target" table? The data would need to be consecutive and ordered by the same ID number used on both tablesI found a JavaScript online that may work, unfortunately, 1) I have the free plan and scripting is not supported; and 2) my experience with JavaScript is limited. I added a third party add-in, however, the apparent complexity of the application may prove to be problematic.Any guidance would be appreciated.Thanks!

Hi All, I’m trying to run this automation script that works perfectly on my test base of ~10 records but throws this error when I move it to my real base with ~1100 records. Error: Script exceeded execution time limit of 30 seconds The below code is based on this tutorial here, tweaked slightly with recommendations I found in another similar question. Any help or ideas would be appreciated! Learn Airtable scripting #1: basics & removing duplicates with Giovanni Briggs - YouTube (from Automate All the Things channel) var table = base.getTable(“Table 1”); var query = await table.selectRecordsAsync ({ fields: ["Name" ] }); console.log(query); let duplicates = query.records.filter((record)=>{ return query.records.find((potentialDuplicate)=>{ return record.getCellValue(

When making a list with three hierarchy levels and adding dropdown filters they don’t seem to work. When making lists of two hierarchy levels on the same base the filters do work. Is there something I’m missing or is there a bug?Thanks in advance!

Hi, I would like to send requests from Airtable to Make.com/n8n, how can I do that ? Is it only for Enterprise plan ?

Airtable seems to be suffering a major outage. None of the tables load, and shows an error that starts with “pgl…..”, asking to Refresh the page. But Refresh takes a long time, and the same result.

Hi everyone. I realize it is not possible to export / download charts built in the “Chart Block”. Such feature would definitely be a must-have. I really do need it, don’t you? When do you think Airtable will make this possible?

Hello there,a script that is running as part of an automation is failing occasionally because it is exceeding the 30 seconds limit. This is out of my control because it is calling an external API which sometimes takes a bit longer due to high load (OpenAI API). This is the error message.Script exceeded execution time limit of 30 secondsHow can I add retries after 60 seconds or so? CheersChristoph
