Here's what I want to do. I have a field that lists percentages for the fees my company wants to add to a contract. Admin fee 10%, Late fee 5%, etc. If I were to stack these fees, I want to have a field that returns the sum of each percentage multiplied by the contract subtotal field. Is there any way to do this? Like: SUM ( (10% x $800), (5% x $800) ) but where it could recognize the array and do the math for each percentage. 

I have a small team plan with 3 accounts users and pay on one credit card. However, there is a base where I need to collaborate externally. If we have a paid plan, can our external partner collaborate/edit our base for free? If not, can they create their own separate account and pay but still be able to collaborate/edit our base?I am trying to avoid the need to put them on my payment plan? Please recommend the best course of action for external partners. 

Hello All!I'm trying to make the Airtable search function in Make/Intergromat say "IF a google drive file name contains an Airtable content id, then show me that record" so I can then add the files web view link to the record.  So the finished automation would be: WHEN "finished file" is uploaded to "finished folder" THEN add the google drive link to the records Finished URL field The current formula im using us IF(FIND("{{1.name}}", {Title}&""), "yes", "no")It's "working" but the results are unrelated to the file name... see screenshot What forumla should I use to tell Make/Intergromat to search for the record?

I have created a formula that gives employees a personalized link to fill out a form so that when they fill out the form, they only need to answer the questions and don't have to put their name, employee id, etc. Is there a way to get around not having them sign in to use the personalized links?I have already turned off the "See who submitted this form" box and the under Share Link settings the "Restrict access to enterprise email domains" option. It doesn't make the person sign in with the regular link to the form, only the personalized one. Hoping there is a way around this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey guys, I’ve got several automations set up where the action is sending emails from my Gmail account. However, the “From” name in these emails isn’t aligned to the “From” name on my Gmail account - it’s simply displaying my email address as the “From” name. Can anyone help?

I have a Table that lists everyone who has taken our leadership courses (Participant table). Fields include Participant Name and FLL Attended.I have a second table listing everyone who is a salaried leader in our company (600 records). I want to have a column (field) in the Salaried Leaders table that shows if they have taken our FLL course. How do I set it up so that the Salaried Leaders table links to the Participant Table AND populates the field with the class they took?  I know I can do a linked record, but then I have to manually select and that is inefficient.I know the answer is probably pretty simple, but I just can't get there on my own 🙄

In my scenario, I have a trailer that may have multiple batteries assigned to it. When a battery needs to be removed, the client brings up the battery detail in an Interface and clicks 'Remove'. This launches an automation where multiple things occur:A ticket is opened for the batteryNotes are added to both the trailer (in the trailer table) and the battery (in the battery table).Then, I want to run a script to remove the battery from the trailer.I found another post that was doing something similar, and after much troubleshooting (I'm new to coding), I've got it down to one error that I'm not sure how to troubleshoot. Error: Request parameters failed validation. at main (script:14)A few notes, yes, the input values from the automation are lists, but there will only ever be one value in the list, which is why I used JSON.stringify. I also suspect the code in line 13 may be wrong.Thanks so much for your help!Code:   const inputConfig = input.config(); const inp

Hi there,Just wanted to see and confirm, that after duplicating a database, if you delete any records in the duplicate, it doesn't impact the original database, i.e. that you don't delete records in the original.  I feel they are both separate entities, but wanted to make sure.Thanks,-Robert 

Hey, I plan to use an Airtable form for my event’s registrations. Can I add Stripe into Airtable forms (directly, without Zapier), to help users make ticket payments for the event? Thanks, in advance!

Hi all, I need to build a form to collect a person’s name and email address but when they sign up a small application fee is also collected. I am thinking of using Stripe or Braintree for payment processing. The key question here is where will the backend database be hosted? On Stripe/Braintree or on Airtable or on both? Another angle w.r.t the same question: how to go about making a form that accepts a payment? Have you done this before? If so, how did you do it? Thank you so very much, Freedom.

You guys have been so helpful in the past, I'm hoping you can help jog my brain once again!Scenario:  Organization that wants to track membership recruitment efforts with something like a CRM funnel.  They will need multiple funnel / pipeline scenarios, each with its own set of steps.  Each step will need it's own metrics for tracking results.  For instance, if one step in the funnel is inviting new contacts to join a facebook group, the metric they would track is whether the new contact did, in fact, join the fb group.  So the metric will change for each step of the funnel.  Some of the steps may be common to multiple funnels.Each funnel can have multiple people in it simultaneously, spread across the funnel's varying steps.In addition, people could (potentially) be in multiple funnels simultaneously.Oy.Anyone have thoughts as to how to structure the base?  I'm struggling to wrap my brain around so many relationships all at once!  I will be fore

Hello,I need two solutions or two ideas for reflection concerning my use of forms via the Interface part of Airtable.I have two separate forms for my CRM build with Airtable :- Form 1: Create a product that will be stored in the product table of my database. (Each time I have to create a new product, because I make unique products)- Form 2: Create a quote, which will include one of the products created in Form 1, and stored in the quote table.I've noticed a few limitations, and I'd like your help.When I create a product via Form1, instead of getting a message telling me that my item has been created, I would have liked to have the id of my created product displayed in return.When I create a quote, and I want to associate one or more products, unfortunately I don't have access to detailed data in the pop-up that displays the complete list of my products. All I see are IDs...Perhaps these are unavoidable limitations...If so, would you have a solution to help me manage the creation of pro

Hi there,I understand that Airtable webhooks have this limitation:The number of webhooks per base is limited to 10. A single OAuth integration can create up to 2 webhooks per base.In a nutshell, users of our integration are creating automations picking Base and Table, and configuring what they want to happen when an event is received. Meaning, a user may build 5 automations for the same Base, which obviously conflicts with the above limitation; however, our users aren't and shouldn't be bothered w/ these API limitations.In order to mitigate this, I'd like to register notifications to a Base (and all, or all relevant tables within that Base), and would then like to broadcast events that I receive from Airtable to the interested consumers. A problem here is that the event payload only contains `base.id` and `webhook.id` (along w a timestamp and the content-mac header). That's pretty unfortunate, as it prevents me from doing that broadcast.Is there a chance we could have the table.id spec

Hi, I would like to extract only the 2nd character of a data field, to concatenate with another complete data field.Can this be done please? Many thanks.

Hi. Still learning here! This support is invaluable, thank you. 🙏I have an automation that sends an email with when 3 specified fields are 'not empty'. The email contains an invoice as an attachment. I want to make absolutely sure that the automation will never run again on that record under any circumstances, - even if I accidentally change a field and the record records a new modified date/time.Is this possible please?

I'm trying to create an interface which will enable review and selection of candidates, in order to select them for our program. They will be reviewed by 4 jurors, so I want each juror to have their own view in interface to give grades (1-5) to each candidate. So basically all 4 jurors  will review and give points to each candidate. I see there is an option in Interfaces to set up to 'view as', but I'm not sure if I can set it up this way, so that each collaborator has their own 'view' all in one interface page, based on their collaborator account. I have attached a screenshot to refer to, as to what I mean with the 'view as' option for different collaborators. Otherwise, is there a better way to set this up? 

I've having a little bit of trouble wrapping my head around this automation. I believe I know how to do this using multiple automations but I'm wondering if there is a way to get it all done in a single automation.Table 1 essentially calculates payments to submit to contractors for each "job". Example of relevant fields in a single job record:Joe payment = $100Sally payment = $150Bob payment = $80Jane payment = $0Bill payment = $0Table 2 includes ALL transactions for the business (income and payments). Record entries linked to a single "job" may look something like:TRANSACTION STATUSCATEGORY (single select)AMOUNT ($)CONTRACTOR (linked field)ProcessedIncome$800 PrecessedMisc Expense$120 ExpectedContractor Payment$120JoeExpectedContractor Payment$120SallyExpectedContractor Payment $70BobWhat I'd like to do is set up an automation that triggers when a new record is added to Table 1. The automation then:Check Table 2 for records linked to the same job referenced in the new T

Currently, I need to integrate my app with Airtable, my customer can connect Oauth with Airtable and sync data from my app to Airtable view calendar. I need to get a list workspaceId to create a new base or table, but I only can get workspaceId with enterprise API, I am a little confused should I buy plan enterprise with my account developer or do all my customers need to have an enterprise account?

I'm so stumped on this. I've been creating automation to autolink my records, but now I have a messy array field and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to autolink it. I've tried six ways from Sunday using all the code available here. Here's the code I've been using: //Define the main table and query let mainTbl = base.getTable("BIOD CALC"); let mainQuery = await mainTbl.selectRecordsAsync(); //Define link table and query let linkTbl = base.getTable("ECO ↔ CREDIT"); let linkQuery = await linkTbl.selectRecordsAsync(); //Loop through the records and find the field to update for (let mainRecord of mainQuery.records) { let mainId = mainRecord.getCellValue("ECO ↔ CREDIT"); //Loop through linked table and match ID values for (let linkRecord of linkQuery.records) { if (linkRecord.getCellValue("eco_id") === mainId) { //Update field mainTbl.updateRecordAsync(mainRecord, { 'ECO ↔ CREDIT': [{id: linkRecord.id}]

I've read the solutions for how to update a multiple select field without overwriting via automation. However, I have a bit of a wrinkle—this doesn't seem to be possible when using a Repeating Group.The background:I have a list of live performances in a table called Shows. I have a list of performers in a table called Artists. The two tables are linked via a Linked Record field so that Artists (one or more) can be added to specific shows.Some Artists perform on shows year after year. I have a multiple select field in the Artists table for "Years Active."The desired automation:When an Artist is attached to a show, I'd like the "Years Active" field in the Artist's record to update to include "2024" in addition to any existing years already in the field.The issue:Normally, I would insert the current value of "Years Active" followed by a comma and then "2024." However, the only two fields I can insert are the record ID and name field. This seems to be a limitation of working within a Repea

Hello everyone! I'm fairly new to Airtable and have a question as I'm building my database.I've found it helpful for me to assign "focus times" for tasks independently from their due date in previous systems, so I added a Single Select field named "Status" that has several options: Today, Tomorrow, This Week, Backlog, Completed, and On Hold. I have attached a screenshot of how that looks.Is there a way to create an automation that (at midnight) automatically updates anything with the Tomorrow status to have a Today status instead? I was able to create an automation to change a singular record, but I failed to find a method to update them all. I'm not sure if it's impossible, or if I just don't understand automations enough yet.Regardless, thanks so much, and have a great day!

Hello all, I have a question, and hopefully there's some type of solution to this issue. I managed 3 properties, but for now - we can just focus on 1. Property A has a total of 100+ units. When an end user fills out the form - they type in the unit number - and this is how I have my automation set up:As you can see from the above image, I have a find record and it will update that record for it's respective tenant. Example: The concern here I'm facing is, because Property A has 100+ units, is there a simpler way of creating automations to find records for each unit?Here's a view of the configuration for Property A, finding the "101" integer:Essentially, the goal is to not create 100+ automations for this property to statically assign each unit, but my fear is maybe I have to?I hope I articulated this!Thanks! 

Hi, Is it only me or are Rollup Filters not working. Tried this with date fields and text ones, and still without any success. Please let me know if there is a solution or it's a temporary bug? Thanks!

Hey y'all, hoping you can help me solve a thorny issue. We use Airtable in a big way across all of our teams, and we've built a Daily Duties board to give ownership and sightline to the must-happen daily needs of the business. Individual team leads assign their team members to the tasks weekly.The issue I'm having is in maintenance - currently we are duplicating the empty records weekly which is cumbersome and time intensive. I'm sure there is a way to do this via automations, but the issue I run into is date/time fields - running an automation to create records at a date/time, but neither configuration for start/end time - static or dynamic - is getting me what I'm looking for. We have both a start and end time so that it can be easily shown in a calendar view like the attached image. Any advice? I've bopped around here on the boards for a bit now but haven't found a particular case that matches what I'm looking to solve. Thanks!

I am working to automate a process that feels like I should be able to script but have been struggling. Admittedly I am new to scripting so I may not be understanding how to structure this, I have asked around, tried to get an assist from Chat GPT, and poked and prodded this along but the final outcome has eluded me. Let me break down the intended function and drop the code in. Any help is greatly appreciated.  Intended function:The automation is initiated when a record enters the "Meetings" view of the "Connections" table, there is a text field called "Attendee Emails" where a formula has collected and concatenated emails using ", " as a delimiter. We are passing that through to the script as an input variable called "attendeeemails". What we need is for the automation to go through the string stored in "attendeeemails" and pull each email out one by one, and check each individual email against the "Email" field in the "Full view" in the "People" table. When any individual e
