Hi,I'm really wrestling with finding a solution here and I am sure I am not the only one who has the issue.  I have 2 tables in Airtable:1) Skills Table - fields include SkillId, Name, Description, Link to Skill Definition table via DefinitionId2) Skill Definition Table - fields include DefinitionId, Definition, Level (Level is either Beginner, Intermediate or Expert)When I call the API and GET a skill from the Skill Table I would like the Skill Definition to nest as an object in the response.  I noticed this behavior is possible with the Collaborator type, shown below for the Assigned fieldAt the moment when I link the Skills Definition table to the Skills table and add lookup columns from the Skills Definition table, then call the API from Postman, the fields are shown in a flat structure as an array

I have two bases and two tables.  Base 2 Table 2 table has initiative name , objectives, key results, earliest date (based on all projects in base 1 table 1) and latest data (based on all projects in base1 table 1)  and list of all program that have the initiatives.  Base 1 Table 1 contains program name, program description, type, priority, start date and release date, status, initiative name.  Base 2 Table 2 is synced to Base 1 table 1 so I can have the product manager can select the appropriate initiative in their program. In base 2 table 2,  I want a field to automatically add projects that have the initiative specified..  Right now, base 1 table 2 (which is synced copy of the initiatives) has the correct project names listed. However in base 2 table 2 the field of the project'

I would like to ingest Airtable data into backstage. Frankly I'm shocked this doesn't already exist. I am currently building a plugin to facilitate this. If anyone wants to have an input, please reach out to me at hanfordn35@gmail.com.

I am trying to create a script using curl which basically would download the image from the url embedded within the field of the JSON I downloaded with the API. curl is supposed to use the whole value of the key `url`(https://v5.airtableusercontent.com/v3/u/29/29/1716998400000/APymLz9oGAW4AZ1vM_9z3w/53CMUJ...) + the value of the `filename` (SKM_36722071214070ff.pdf) and then the desired output name of the file. It would be the same that browsing the url + filename, but when passing just the url to the browser it displays the attachments as the are in the Airtable field, but if I add url + filename in the form url/filename it doesn't displays the file. Is there any other

I am creating an automation that sends a reminder email if a task is not complete within a certain date. That being said, some users have multiple tasks to complete and receive an individual email for each record they’re attached to. Is there a way I can have a reminder email sent with multiple records condensed into one message so the owner does not receive multiple emails?

Hi guys,i have an automation and want to copy that to another base.It's a base that will be created from a snapshot that was taken (if this is important).Thanks 4 help!Julian

Does Airtable support sandbox instances? So for example if I need to develop and test before moving those changes to production, is there a way to do that? What Airtable capabilities allow this? If not, what have people used as a workaround? 

I'm having a problem getting my airtable to properly work with a dynamic page created on our website. There is an embedded form within the dynamic page, and the HTML for this is linked to a record within the aritable "Form HTML".I have been able to get this to work with the simple form html. What I am now trying to do is add on extra criteria within the HTML so that a section of the form is pre populated when loading certain pages. As soon as I add the extra code in it results in problems. I either get that the page cannot be found, or it will say this for about 10 minutes and then magically load, but it will only load on a desktop and not a mobile. The mobile always shows page cannot be found.The standard html is <div class="beacon-form" data-account="isleofwightdonkeysanctuary" data-form="83485bc4"></div> but I need it to be <div class="beacon-form" data-account="isleofwightdonkeysanctuary" data-form="83485bc4" data-bcn-c-donkey="xxx"&g

I need to re-establish a formula all ready created for our Content Title field?  I changed this to a Single line text and it changed the whole field, how do I change it back?

We have a paid Teams license - just a few seats for the development team.Am I right in thinking that if we share an Interface by email as readonly, then that doesn't require a paid license for that user?We were going to use Softr as the front end, but it looks like Interfaces gives us better functionality.  

Please community members😔, I'm new here and really need help understanding some things with airtable. In fact I upgraded for the team plan more than a month ago, it told me that my database is full yet I only have one database with 2100 records. I don't understand absolutely anything

Hi everyone. I'm new to Airtable and getting used to the automations and tools. I'm hoping there's a way to do what I'm trying to accomplish, even if it's not the way I'm thinking...First, a little context:We teach different types of classes (at least 😎 and have a list of students we contact to offer classes and enrollments. Some students may take only one class, some may take 3 or more.What we have doneWe want to be able to store our students' information, assign them to the groups they are interested in (for example, if they are interested in class A, B, and D), and perform the registration process(es) for each of them.To do this, I created 2 tables: one for the classes and all the information related to them (price, dates, location, etc.), and one for the students, where I store the students' information and track their stage as a lead (if they are new, if they need to be

I need to create a base that will allow a user to add a new item (a change in operations, ie: we now date all produce boxes upon arrival, or Host to open all doors for guests arriving and leaving)then each item is assign to a department (Kitchen, Host, etc)Then each team member is to sign off on new process I can create the first part, however, how do I build the base to allow for staff to initial/sign any changes for their assigned departments? (without logging into airtable - this would be liked to Glide apps)I need to be able to view the change, department and all signatures (plus who has not signed for that department)  

Question on best practice. As an automation consultant, I'm building a CRM for my client which will integrate with Typeform, Make etc.Eventually I'd like to transfer ownership to the client while keeping enough access for any maintenance, but I am foreshadowing changes to credentials/access tokens etc resulting in broken links on integrated apps.How does everyone else do it with the least amount of moving pieces in the transfer? Do you start a new workspace and get the client to sign up for a paid Airtable account?

Hi - I am trying to do a daily balance and bills owed table and am wanting to match expected income so that the dates match. Ideally it would also have a daily exchange rate. I am just not sure how to match and roll-up based on varrying criteria without needing a new column for each date. How do I do this? Do I need a third table?

Hi, I have a large table with many columns. But some columns are empty whilst some are full and this differs from a row to row. Is there a way to view single row that it would show only those fields which have some value in it and do not show empty fields? As to have a simpler view of the information. Thanks for suggestions!

Hi! It seems like the OAuth refresh flow randomly fails for no apparent reason even though nothing has changed. It doesn't happen predictably, it's quite random and this forces our users to re-authenticate Airtable which is a lot of friction. Has anyone else experienced this or found workarounds?Thanks!

i'm tryng to create a record in a table from base "B" by running a scritp from base "A"but how can i get the table from base B in my script that is in base A?

I'M TRYING TO UPLOAD PDF FILES TO AN AIRTABLE BASE USING PYTHON, BUT I'M FACING ISSUES WITH THE PROCESS. I'VE TRIED MULTIPLE PYTHON LIBRARIES, BUT NONE OF THEM SEEM TO WORK CORRECTLY FOR MY USE CASE. Here's the code I've been using (replace with your latest code snippet): import osimport globfrom airtable import Airtable # Configure Airtable connectionairtable = Airtable('base_id', 'Table 8', api_key='api_key') # Path to the folder containing PDFspdf_folder = r"C:\Users\camip\Desktop\_adjuntos_prueba" 

Hi. In the past week, I started getting random "[500] Server error" when calling various Airtable modules via Make. No other information is provided. If I retry the scenario, usually then it works.Any idea what this could be? Could it be that I'm hitting some kind of limit? According to this page (https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/rate-limits), it says the error code in case of a limit should be 429 not 500. Screenshot below shows an example of the error. Note that it is not happening only on one type of module like 'Update a Record', but even say 'Get a Record' or Search.

My goal is to create a single automation, that checks multiple separate fields and if they contain values, process separate actions.For example, if a new record is created and there are values in the field weight, then update the weight field of the linked record. If a new record is created and there are values in the location field, then update the location field of the linked record.Now the statements follow an IF -> ELIF (Otherwise if) logic, therefore if a new record is created and both fields (Weight and location) are not empty, only the first condition is fulfilled and the automation stops. In this case the weight would be updated (matching the first IF condition), but the location would not (because the first condition was fulfilled).My workaround for this has been creating first a field that checksIF weight AND location have values, update both,ELIF weight has values, update weightELIF location has values, update location

Hi, Does anyone have a working integration, where stock prices are automatically (eg timebased refresh) fetched into an airtable sheet, depending on eg ISIN, etc. I just found quite old posts and only one newer video (How to Track Stocks in Airtable - YouTube), but the script link in the video is outdated… So any help with providing a script, etc. would be highly appreciated. thanks a lot, Chris

A few months ago I received an email from product@mail.airtable.com descibing changes to handling of dates and timezones in scripting. Do I recall correctly? Can someone point me to the info it described? I’m still doing manual timezone adjustments in scripts but think this new feature can handle it properly???

I've created a Grid View in my base, and created a specific order by dragging and dropping records (not using a Sort condition). When I share the view, the order is preserved. When I add the view to an interface, the order is NOT preserved. What are my options? Is this a bug that will be fixed? Is there an easy way to create a priority field of some sort instead that will auto-change when I re-order the records based on changing priorities?
