Hello,I have a formula in Airtable which should output "SMS" if certain conditions are met.This formula has worked for a long time and has not been changed. Now I have noticed that something has been changed in the formula function and Airtable indicates that the formula is incorrect. I can save, but I can't find the error that Airtable is referring to. What am I doing wrong in the formula?  IF( AND( OR( {Terminart} = "Hauptuntersuchung (HU)", {Terminart} = "Sicherheitsprüfung (SP)" ), OR( AND( MONTH(TODAY()) = MONTH({Datum nächste Prüfung fällig}), YEAR(TODAY()) = YEAR({Datum nächste Prüfung fällig}) ), {Datum nächste Prüfung fällig} < TODAY() ), WEEKDAY(TODAY()) = 1 ), "SMS" )   Please correct the following errors in the formula: Missi

Hi all!I'm trying to build an automation that's very similar to something like the automations found in platforms like Asana, Monday.com, etc. but I'm getting errors and can't figure out why. I'm sure it's very simple, but I need help!I'd like to set something up where if someone changes the status of a single dropdown from ANY record in a table, that it will update the status of another single dropdown from that same record.EXAMPLE: We're creating a content calendar for our social clients. If we have records for POST A, POST B, and POST C, I want it so if someone changes a single dropdown labeled "Copy Workflow" to "Copy Approved" that in POST A, that it updates the status of another single dropdown in POST A labeled "Copy Status" to "Approved" automatically.While I fully understand that I can create an automation dedication to POST A, there's going to be a LOT of different records (or posts in our case) being made constantly. I can't be making new autom

Ok so this is a weird one, about three days ago, I paid to upgrade to teams on my airtable account. I have a $0 balance invoice and the money was charged to the card.  Today, I've logged in and my account still appears as a free user? I don't understand why this is happening and am wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue? 

Hey All!I need some help! I'm relatively new to Airtable and currently diving into setting up an inventory/project management system for my team. Our approach involves utilizing Airtable as a combined solution for both project and inventory management.Here's a quick rundown: We've established a "project-specific" base to monitor products that need to be ordered, received, and delivered for each project each product has up to 750 items to keep track of. Simultaneously, we maintain an inventory base to keep track of surplus inventory and items that have been received for a project. For instance, if we need 3 units of product A for a project but have 2 in surplus, we only order 1 for that project.Now, I'm facing a challenge. We want to mark products as received in the project base and have our inventory base automatically update when we receive products. Essentially, if we order 1 unit of product A, I'd like to mark it as received in the project base and have our i

I am using a form with some prefilled fields. It works great as long as the item name doesn't include certain special characters. For instance, if it includes an "&" anything after the "&" won't be prefilled. So "Mop & Broom Holder" prefills as just "Mop". Some of the product names we have are a bit long, so it can be a pain to have to type everything out. I know why this is happening, but I'm wondering if there is a way to include the "&" in a url and have it be part of the prefilled information. This is the formula I am using in the button that leads to the form.Form URL'&'?prefill_Name='&Item&'&prefill_Quantity='&{Received Qty}&'&prefill_Project+Tag='&{Project Tag}&'&prefill_Date+of+Update='&

Is there a formula to have a checkbox automatically checked if the current date is later than a specific date field in that record?  We want to be able to sort by "eligible" records and have it automatically updated as each goes past its "eligible date."  Thanks!

Hello,Is there a way to have two-way cross-references between entries in the same table?For example, there is a table [Companies]. Each entry, a company, can have clients and suppliers. If a company has clients, it means that those clients have at least one supplier - the company. I'd love to be able to connect entries so that when I assign clients, those entries automatically get updated with supplier info—and vice versa.Another example is Investors/Funds and Portfolio companies. I want to be able to add portfolio companies to a Fund and automatically have this Fund added as an investor to all its portfolio companies.Such two-way cross-reference works fine if I have several tables, for example, [Investors] and [Companies]. Airtable shows all the investors associated with a company and all the portfolio companies associated with an investor.However, I am looking for a solution to keep all the companies (portfolio companies, investment funds, client

Can anyone please help me solve this issue? Before 1/1/2024 I have to calculate a 2.99% fee and after is different 2.29%. I am trying a formula but only giving the result after 31/12/2023, before the result is blank: IF(    {Date Booked},    IF(        IS_AFTER(                {Date Booked},                DATETIME_PARSE(                 &nb

Hello - I'm trying to figure out how to set a price based on 2 other columns. One column is Product Type (Socks) and the other would be Variant (single or 3-pack). So for example if Product Type is Socks and Variant is Single, the Price should be $3; if the variant is 3-pack, the price would be $8.Both Product Type and Variant are single select values, and I could potentially make the Price a single field as well. I also thought of combining Product Type and Variant into one column (Socs - Single, Socks - 3-pack, etc) and do Link Records instead, but I would like to eventually sort by Product Type alone (all socks, for example). Does anyone have any experience in this for inventory tracking? Thanks!

I am currently working with the Webhooks notifications (https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/webhooks-overview) to process record updates when a set of files/fields have changed. While I love the power and flexibility of the notification, especially the `fromSources` filtering and metadata, I have hit a few roadbumps in my implementations and I'm wondering if I am missing any obvious solutions that others have discovered.- Cursor value. Initially I thought I could possibly track the cursor value, but then I realized that this is likely just the cursor from the start of the payload list, so after 7 days of payloads, the max cursor value from the payloads will be less than my locally saved cursor, so this doesn't seem viable.- `baseTransactionNumber`.

Hello, As the image uploaded in Airtable returns the URL of the image, I want to convert the contents of the URL(image) to base64, btoa() converts the URL to base64 but not the content of the URL (Actual Image), I want the uploaded Image in base64 format. Is there anyway to do this inside automation script? Thank you

Afternoon,I've had 2 ideas recently whilst building a lot of automations. Please do say if they already exist and I've missed them.When creating an, "Update record" action, please auto-fill the "Record ID" with Trigger item's record id if it's from the same table as you're updating.1. Every time I'm building an automation, if I'm updating a record on the same table as the trigger, the Record ID, is the trigger item's Record ID. Could AT autofill that Record ID token? Or maybe, a quick function link underneath the input box, "Use trigger record's Record ID" which fills the box when pressed.2. Is there a shortcut key to access the dynamic variables in a field, please? Often I'm filling in a Field in the automation type some words, but have to move to my mouse to press the plus button and access the data key explorer.Instead, maybe like how a

Hi all, What do you find the easiest to connect (and scale) Airtable to when it comes to reporting/dashboards, Power BI or Tableau? I realise there are no connectors for either through Zapier but have seen some workarounds for both tools. Any thoughts or suggestions? Regards, Tom.

How to filter and set condition IF EMPTY?

I’m currently working on a fairly large base and I was wondering if there is any way I can link it to Tableau, reason being I would like to visualise the data while I’m cleaning/enhancing it. I know I can download a csv - but I’m wondering if there is any way I can link directly or automate this so when I add a new record or alter data I can see the impact in Tableau.

I’m currently Zapier > Google Sheets > Tableau … Looking for Zapier > Airtable > Tableau Equiv … any ideas? Thanks in advance …

Help! I am using the Project Management template and in the broad view on Projects I can reorganize the projects into whatever order I want them in. However, when I get down into the Project and Project detail base (in List view), the only way I see to reorganize them is by sorting and that limits me to A-Z and Z-A. Is there a way to move around the projects in list view that I am not seeing?

Hey, we are currently experiencing the issue that a automation changed the way it works. The Find Records Automation used to just fail if it searched for a empty field now it gives us back the maximum Amount of Records it can find(100).These are also not empty in the field that is searched for. Is this a intentional change or just a bug?

Hello everybody,I am very new to AirTable. English is not my native language.I created an external form with Fillout, which is connected to my AirTable base.When I use the block ‘multiple choice questions’ in Fillout, I have 2 options I am aware of :-Connect it to a ‘single-line text’ field-Connect it to a ‘single-select’ field The first option works great, however the second one, which is the one I’d like to use to get the advantage of the colors, brings up the following problem :Whenever somebody fills out the ‘other’ option in the Fillout Form, it creates a new single-select option in my table, which is great, BUT, at the same time, the form is automatically updated and the new option is now available to new users looking at the Form, which in the end can be a problem if people write a lot of nonsense.On the

Hi all!Please tell me, is it possible to change the rights in the interface on a specific entry after the automation has been triggered?I want to do the following:1) I have a Kanban board - an interface in which, when opening one of the records, you can change the status, date, etc.Is it possible to prohibit changing the status or date of this record when a certain status is reached (for example, done) without restricting others?2) I would like certain fields in posts to be edited only by the record author (the record author creates the post via a form)?Thank you in advance and wish you a good productive week!

I have a tab within a table, the tab is called PTO. the PTO tab has two different views I am working between for this automation. The PTO tab as a whole is populated from forms that are submitted containing requests for time off from employees. This form contains fields for [start date] and [end date] and is intended to capture both single and mult-day requests off. The first automation sends an actionable slack message for approval, which is working correctly. The second automation I am trying to set-up is intended to send a message to a slack channel each day that there is an employee out of office, listing which employee is out of office. (Bonus points for this only running Monday-Friday, even if the dates fall on the weekend).My first attempt at the automation was setting up the second view of the same tab, which would be filtered to only show records based on conditions, but I wasn't able to find a way for the records to populate if the request required more dyn
