I'm using my airtable to attached keywords images. I have one big keywords table with multiple categories of different keywords. Then i have multiple linked columns to the different categories. However some of the keywords overlap into different categories.So I thought I could rollup all my linked columns and do something like this:  ARRAYUNIQUE(ARRAYJOIN(ARRAYJOIN({RollUp1}) & IF({RollUp2}, ',' & ARRAYJOIN({RollUp2})) & IF({RollUp3}, ',' & ARRAYJOIN({RollUp3})))) However I still have duplicates of keywords in my final array. Does anyone know how I can join my rollups and then filter out all the duplicates? 

Hi all!Pretty new to this, but I'm trying to write a script similar to Airtable's child-record script. The script should: For parentTable (defined in config), when a record's value in a field (singleSelect defined in config) matches conditions (defined in config), then it should assign this record as parentRecord, and create a link child-record in a childTable (defined in config) and populate this record's primary field with the value from the parentRecord's primary field. I am having some issues with the config, and wondered if anyone knew how to fetch the options of a field specified in input.config.field so it appears as the options in a input.config.select dropdown list. I want to avoid hard-coding it, but it is an easy workaround if it's impossible.Here's the code I have for the config. const config = input.config({ title: `Conditional Parent-child record creation`, description: `For records in a parent t

I have an automation set up that loads Google Calendar meeting info into my database, including attendee email addresses. What I want to do is extract the emails of only the people who are not internal employees. That is to say, extract all emails in the “Attendees” field that do not end in “@company.com”. External participants could have any number of email domains and I want to be able to extract any and all email addresses of Google meeting attendees who are not from our own company. I hope that was clear. Thank you!

i'm wanting to get employee data from Workday such as when a new hire happens, employee terms, or just an update to employee record. I'm using the HR workday connector from Workday and I believe that I configured the connector correctly, but i'm still getting a 500 error. Are there any suggestions to get my connection working?

Hi Everyone,I am sure this is a common question, but I can't seem to find it... When staff join they have a 3 month/6month and 9 month review. They then have their Annual review (which is always 1 year after their 3 month review). They then have a mid term review and an annual review. My question is...Is there a script/formula that takes the last date entry in Person A's row and creates a date that is 6 months after it so I can then run an email automation 2 weeks prior to that date to remind Person A  their review is coming up. In my example below (DATE FORMAT IS EUROPEAN) As you can see Person B has been employed longer so they are further down the chain they have just had their Y2 annual review and so their Y2 mid term would be 6 months from then (ie 22/7/2024).Person A's however is still in Y1 and has just had their mid term so they are due their Annual review on 6/5/2024.So each row will be a different person who will have

We've recently published Airtable Sync Figma plugin and we're using it internally but it's surprising to see that there is no much interest from users.As designers and developers, working with real data in our mockups is essential to ensure accuracy and avoid unexpected issues during development. We expected that this plugin would provide great value to both Airtable and Figma community.We would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and use-case scenarios to better understand the demand for such functionality. Let's discuss and help us improve this plugin to better serve the needs of the Airtable community.

Hello, we duplicated one table from a base to a new base and a field that originally contained images got converted into a text field that contains the file name of the pictures and a URL. Is there a way to do duplicate the table without this happening? 

When I link table entries to another table I get these boring gray boxes with the linked record. It gives me no information other than the name. It would be great if I could, in the formatting tab of that link, choose a view from which it should get the color information. Example: When I have tasks with a complete field in another table and I link these tasks in my project. I could create a color coding in my tasks table: Done tasks are green. In Progress tasks are yellow. Not started tasks are red. Now in the project table, in the link column, I would say: Take the colors of this one view that has the colors. Now the grey boxes would be green, yellow and red, depending on their color in the other table and I would have a huge informational boost at a glance. See this mockup.

Hi guys, I was wondering if it is possible to change the linked fields inputs in different colours like they are shown in the original table (that had the field type “Multiple selection”). It is a shame that the linked field inputs are all grey. If you can help me out with this one, would really appreciate it.

Hello,There's a user in my client's workspace who has already been invited as an interface collaborator with Editor permissions for some interfaces I created. The problem is, the user is not being able to create a record in one of those interfaces that already has the Editor permissions. When the user tries to create a record this message appears: "You are not permitted to perform this operation". Could you help me solve this problem please? The weird thing is, a few days ago the user was able to create records and didn't have this problem. I don't understand what happened because I didn't make changes to the user permissions.  I already made sure the user has Editor Permissions to that interface, and that table has the permissions that Editors and up can create records.

Hello Everyone, I am trying to create an automation that sends draft social media posts for approval. The problem I am running in to is being able to reply to these actionable messages in Slack with text that will update an airtable field. So basically here is how the work flow goes. When a new post is created and is in draft it will send an actionable message to a slack channel with two buttons. The first button is "Approve" and the 2nd button is "comment". If the comment button is clicked I would like the slack user to be able to enter some text that will then update a field in airtable. I have been able to get the approve button to work but when the comment button is selected I do not get the option in slack to enter text. How can I solve this problem. I would appreciate your input. Thank You 

Here is my base I am developing to track VFX shots for a film.Table "SHOTS" is the shot in the film. "Submissions" is the version I get from a vendorhttps://airtable.com/appfa9Uq0xYTTe5oK/shrH1DETOqdRkJUjT/tbl299qf49ykQMspW/viwjFl7u86veCddkU?blocks=hide Ideally I would like to be able to load all the versions in to an array then return the latest comment when I am reviewing the latest version. The array should be sorted alpha numerically. I have been trying with little success to use ARRAYSLICE(ARRAYCOMPACT(values)), -1) Can you do this with the formula, rollup field or do you need to script this?

I am looking to get the user ID from the person who interacted with a Slack Actionable Message. From the Automation Run History, I see the User ID is saved, but for an audit trail I would like to automatically assign that user to the record they acted on.

Hi, does anyone know how to copy fields of a form to another form? This in order to avoid adding the fields  manually

I am creating an automation that sets a single select field from empty to "Date Changed" when my date record is updated.At the moment it works, but the automation is running when both a preexisting date is changed AND when the empty date field is first populated.I would like to the automation to only run when the date field has a value, and the value is changed. I do not want the automation to run when the date field is empty, and then a date is added.Is there a way to set this up using basic Airtable automations, or will this rely on a script.Side note: the goal of this automation is eventually to send a weekly email showing all rows that had a date changed within the past week. If I am approaching this the wrong way I am also happy to pivot, but the date changed status combined with a last edited time seems like the best way to put this together.

Should be a simple automation so I'm certain it's user error but I can't find my mistake.I have a date value. When that date value is updated I want a single-select record to automatically update to "Date Changed"Use case is to generate a weekly email via a separate automation that shows all rows that had a changed date in a given week.My error is "Received invalid inputs."Please let me know if you need more details/context and thank you in advance. 

Does anyone have a solution for a script to run AND a URL to open when a button is pressed? I need actions within the base to be performed, but I also would like to redirect the user to a confirmation page once the button is pressed. I also have a near-identical use-case where I need to guide users to open a URL via a button to edit details on a record in another base, but I’d like to be able to know that they clicked it. Is there any clever way to additionally trigger an automation when the button is pressed (along with having the url open)? Thank you!

Hi all,I am using webhooks to catch website request for our services. On our site we have 6 pages that all have a contact form for their independent service. These are customized to the service. E.g. some will need an amount, some will need a timeframe, e.t.c.To illustrate and simplify my issue, let's say I have two. One for Coffee and one for Apples.We also ask the clients e-mail.Since i am automating our quotation proces as much as possible, we want to automatically catagorize them, so that in the next step a 3rd party software knows which quote layout and text to send. The automation is as follows.WebhookIf body Page Url = mywebsite.com/coffeeCreate recordWorkflow: Coffee (Static) E-mail (Dynamic, 'body e-mail')Amount (Dynamic, 'body amount-coffee')Otherwise if body Page Url = mywebsite.com/appleCreate recordWorkflow: Apples (Static)

I have set up an automation:Trigger> Google sheets: when a row is createdAction 1> find records where REF is [value from google sheet column with REF #s, which should match airtable REF values]Action 2> update recordAction 2 is giving me trouble. I have 2 fields I want to update (a checkbox and a currency field).When a row is created on the google sheet, for example with airtable REF #AB-0101 in the google sheets "airtable ref #" column, I want airtable to find record #AB-0101 and update that record's checkbox and currency field. I swear I had it working last week, but today's test failed due to "invalid inputs." I don't really understand how the "Record ID" part of the automation setup works for Action 2 (update record). I did blue plus sign > Use data from... find records step > ...... then I'm lost! I've been digging around trying to find an explanation for the different options here (Insert all

Hey all, I could use some help and I'm hoping this isn't too difficult. I am trying to add a formula that compares an event date to the date of the next time change. If it is before the date of the time change, it runs one formula, if after, it runs another formula. I thought this would be simple enough but I keep getting an error. The formula I am using is below:  IF(      IS_BEFORE({Session Date},03/10/2024),            "A working formula"),IF(      IS_AFTER({Session Date},03/10/2024),    &n
