I'm seeing very slow requests when fetching a single record from a table with 4 records.Very slow as in more than a minute.What am I doing wrong?

Hi 😊I have a student 'onboarding' table which, when completed, triggers an automation to create a new record in a 'live students' table. So, each field in each new record is linked to one of my 'onboarding' fields. Some of the linked fields are formula fields and some are single line text fields.What I would like to do is copy only the values of the data in each of those linked fields, so that they become unlinked, enabling me to then edit the data in the 'live students' table, whilst leaving my 'onboarding' table unchanged. However, I would like my primary field (student ID) to remain linked.Is this possible please?Many thanks - as usual! Howard.

Suppose I have the graphs stated below.Chart #1: qty. returns versus weeksChart #2: qty. returns versus items during week 12Chart #3: qty. returns versus items during week 11Chart #4: qty. returns versus items during week 10Chart #5: qty. returns versus items during week 9etc.I want a dashboard where, while I'm on chart #1, and I click a bar over week 12, then chart #2 appears next to it showing the returns per items during week 12;if I click a bar over week 11, then chart #3 appears next to it. That way I only have two charts at one time, instead of thirteen on a dashboard.If possible, I would like to keep going with a third chart. When chart #2 appears, if I click an item, e.g. blue towel, then a third chart shows qty. of blue-towel returns versus weeks; if I click another item on chart #2, e.g. water bottle, then the third chart shows qty. of water-bottle returns versus weeks. 

Hello everyone,  I have got this base with active deals and I would like to send it via email to my team, but I want the email to contain the same table as on Airtable. How can I do that? Create a pdf?

Does anybody else notice changed behavior when uploading attachments with the API?AT used to fill the file name property by default, but since last week I'm not getting any value when reading the attachment field. Older attachments have the "filename" as usual, newer uploads have no value in the JSON.Can anyone confirm please?Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I am new to Airtable and new to the field also. I am based in Israel and I am trying to build some tables where the Gregorian Calendar (which is the default) is linked to the Hebrew calendar. For instance, I am creating a form where the user will either input an English date of birth or a Hebrew date of birth. In both instances I will need the table to calculate either the original Hebrew date, or the original English date. When it comes to due dates also, I would like to be able to query in either the Hebrew or English dates ie. all the birthdays in September or all the birthdays in אלול. There are many sources of Hebrew dates out there, one I found on Hebcal website. Can anyone help me achieve this? Many thanks in advance

Hi All,I'm attempting to create automations that 1) Pair members of Table A with members of Table B based on specific criteria, and 2) Send weekly digest emails separately to members of Table A with their paired members of Table B from the past week. Attaching screenshots of the automation I've built so far:Weekly email:Pairing: I've gotten these to work at a rudimentary level but would love any and all tips on how to improve. Thank you! 

Need Tech Consultant Recommendation to help with Real estate transactions management and listing manager  system.  I already have google sheets with all the data. 

Just to be clear. When I add a lookup field to a table, that field is not accessible direct through `getCellValue`, correct? I still have to get the id of the corresponding Linked Record field, and do another lookup to get the value of the field that matches my Lookup field. Correct? Just want to make sure I'm not crazy, because it sure seems like extra work for what could be available directly in the table itself. 

A base I created has locked views that I cant to set back to collaborative so I can delete those views from my Base, but I am unable to change them to Collaborative, or delete them.Some things to note:- I am currently on a Free version of Airtable- I can select Collaborative from the drop down, but it does not change, and stays on Locked- I am the owner of the base, and the only user in it currently.Looking for some suggestions on how i can get rid of these views. Thanks in advance!

Howdy! I have a list of all of my vendor partners, which includes a single select column for the type of vendor. I would like to create another table with a filtered list of my partners of a specific type, web integrators.I would like to do this because I have some additional columns of data that I would like to add and track, but they are only relevant for the web integrators and not relevant for all of the other partner types. The Company Name would be the primary field on both tables.Ideal, I would be able to create a new table will all my tagged web integrators, such that when I add a new partner to my main list and tag them as a web integrator, they will appear on the new table and I can update the additional columns in the new table. What is the best way to achieve this use case?

I've got a button on an interface Kanban that opens the record creation form right on that same interface page, which is really helpful. However, I'm now trying to put a button to do the same thing on a different page of the interface, which started as a blank page, and that button action ("Open record creation form") isn't an option.Am I missing something about the button setup, or is this a bug? The form I want to open exists in the same interface, but being able to create new records without having to leave the page is a time saver, as is the ability to create records with a nice curated form rather than just using the inline record creation option, which jumps around because of our default sorting and has a million fields on it by default.

I help multiple clients so the solution I seek needs to be able to work in an environment where I have the airtable base > then I have a client > the client has prospects and customers they need to email.I'm trying to determine if it's possible to send 1-to-1 emails to prospects or customers for my clients from Airtables without having to setup a secondary email tool (lemlist, hubspot, mixmax, etc) for each client. Can I connect directly to the client's email address? Is there an integration that provides visibility on delivery, opens, and clicks for the emails sent directly from a client's email address?Sendgrid isn't an option because corporate IT or lack of knowledge on the client side will prevent the emails for ever getting sent out.I'd prefer not to set up Lemlist (or comparable tool) for each client because it's 1 more login/tool to manage (in addition to the monthly fee)...but if that's the only option I'll make it work.  Any sugge

Hello AirTable team,Hope things are good. Our team recently decided to try using AirTable to automate a simple referral management process. The idea is super simple:We have an AirTable database where leads are managedWe've created an interface on top of that database for partners to see status of their leadsWe've published a link to that interface so you can access itThe problem is, whenever our users are trying to work with that interface, they are always getting the "lost connection to the server" popup - which is "harmless" (i.e. if you ignore it - everything works just fine), but it looks "scary" enough for users not even to try to proceed. You can see that experience in an the demo video below —Direct link to the same video: https://vimeo.com/928813339/43acd1bbd7Do you guys h

I get this message multiple times a day across many Bases. Is there something I can check that might be causing this?

I'm trying to write a formula that will count days between two dates (assignment_start_date and assignment_end_date) that overlap the current week, not counting weekends.First example:current date is 4/5/2024assignment_start_date =  3/25/2024assignment_end_date = 4/2/2024The result of this would be 2. As there are two days (4/1 and 4/2) that occur during the current week (3/31 - 4/6) and are in the range of 3/25 - 4/2Second example:current date is 4/5/2024assignment_start_date =  3/25/2024assignment_end_date = 4/15/2024The result of this would be 5. As there are 5 days (4/1, 4/2, 4/3, 4/4, 4/5) that occur during the current week and are in the range of 3/25 - 4/15I've tried several versions of this with ChatGPT, however, I have yet to have any luck. The closet I've gotten is the following. However, sometimes the days are correct, but sometimes they are anywhere f

Last week,  Airtable support sent me an email saying that (as I had requested) they updated a workspace to  the team plan.But in fact the workspace is now missing and none of my workspaces are upgraded.I have not gotten a response from support in days.Needless to say, I'm extremely frusrtrated.How do I get out of this?  

I would love to learn if there is a way I can connect Airtable to social media accounts. That way, I can gather data and create graphs within Airtable that already has access to all of the social media platforms data history. Looking forward to hearing from the community!

I have a switch formula setup to calculate Experience Brief Due Date and Opportunity Case Due date based on the Estimate size of the project, when an item was added during Quarterly Planning.Is there a way to add onto this formula to return the "Created" date if "When was this added to the Plan?" does not equal "Quarterly Planning"?Current Formula:IF({When was this added to the Plan?}="Quarterly Planning", SWITCH( {Estimated size},"Small  (2-4 weeks)", DATEADD({Ta

Hi, I need to create a script that generates a JSON with the information of a record, I have done many tests but I get stuck with the easiest thing, assign the values of the fields to the JSON.

I have a switch formula setup to calculate Experience Brief Due Date and Opportunity Case Due date based on the Estimate size of the project, however I only want these values to pull in for items that are added during Quarterly Planning (not Intake-Ad Hoc Requests)-- Is there a way to set up the Switch Formula to be conditional on the value in the far right column (when the project was added)?Here is my current switch formula:Experience Brief Due Date:SWITCH( {Estimated size},"Small  (2-4 weeks)", DATEADD({Target in market date}, "-35", "days"),"Medi

Hey folks,This is a bit of a doozy so hopefully I can make it make sense. To start with, the enterprise I work for has disabled scripting, and 95% of 3rd party addons, so I am looking for a solution to the problem with built in AT functions that don't require either of those.I have a base that takes in projects from a user. This is done with a form that is available to anyone with the link. The users submitting this form may or may not have air table access. When the form is submitted, the "project" (record) it creates needs to be "reviewed" by multiple departments (trades). Each trade's approver gets an email stating they have a project to review with a link to an interface with the pertinent info for their trade. (the trade approvers DO have AT edit access)Each trade approver has 2 options, to approve the project, or to request more information from the user. If all trades approve an email is sent to the user saying that they are rea

HII face an auto-categorization issue with no solution so farI update a table with hundreds of credit card transactions, with lot of them recurring with 95% of the text string similar from a month to another month.Is there any chance there is a solution that would save me from categorizing 10 times the line 'Airtable' as 'Online Services' , or even better, that categorizing once 'Airtable November 2022' would allow to automatically categorize in the same way 'Airtable December 2022', 'Airtable January 2023', 'Airtable February 2023', etc...?Many thanks for your help

I have a question that I can't seem to find the answer to. I have two tables within a base. One is a list of employees with their names and teams. The other is a list of Scheduled trainings. On the Scheduled table, I have a field that I fill in for possible training attendees. It is a multi-select field linked to the Employees' table, but I have to add each individual 1 by 1, which can be time-consuming.Is there a way to add multiple people easily or be able to add everyone from specific teams? I'd want to be able to select operations, for example, and it adds everyone's name from that team to that field. So I can see the attendees, but people can also have the training linked to them directly. 

Hello, I use Airtable for editorial management. I’ve created an automation that will send a Slack message to my team when a story is published or scheduled to be published. I would like the message to include the information (date and time) for when the story was published or is scheduled for. I know how to set up the trigger, action, and various other pieces of information I want the message to include — the part I’m struggling with is how to format the date and time for Slack. I found an article from Slack about how to format dates. I also found this Airtable community discussion about formatting dates for automated email actions. So combining the two, I wrote: Publication details: <!date^DATETIME_FORMAT(SET_TIMEZONE({Publication Date}, 'Amer
