I have a base where I have a template table - let's call it Table A - that I copy to create new tables with the identical structure (i.e. all fields are the same). Is there any way to have the automations associated with Table A be automatically created for Tables B, C, D, etc.? Failing that, when I manually copy the Table A automations, is there any way to have it recognize the fields with the same names in Table B and not force me to reselect them each time? (In my use case, each table represents a different event, but I'm sure there are many other use cases as well!)

Hello, I am a newbie to building out AirTable bases and am mainly working off of AirTable's Marketing Campaign Tracker base to make my life easier as my new team gets more and more campaigns in various stages.AirTable's Gantt view with field dependencies is what made me move my tracking efforts over from Trello, but I am realizing the campaign management base may not exactly be what I had in mind for tracking how long the campaign is in each stage. I was curious if there is a newbie-friendly way (I AM willing to put time into it, but my skills are not good) to build a base to track the duration in days from the automatic single-select field value (such as not started) to the last field value (usually completed or approved). Because some campaign steps can be done together, or need to be done before another, I would also need a start date to reference. Ideally, I would love to reference the Marketing Campaign Tracker fields to get this duration and date started.

I often have issues with pasting into a cell.  It just hangs for a minute or two, sometimes longer.  I've read before that it could be because other fields need to be updated if they have have formulas that use that field. However, in my most recent case, I was simply pasting some text into a text field, and it took at least two minutes.  What is the problem, and is there a solution?

Hi Airtable community,Does anybody here utilize any third-party consultants to help set up automations and integrations? If so, are you able to recommend any quality consultants that our company can reach out to? Thanks!

Dear Community, I have a tricky problem. When I want to call someone through the Airtable Phone App, I click on the small phone receiver button, and the iPhone asks me if I want to dial the number. However, for international numbers, the country code (+) or (00) is not included in the 'Call' display. This is a big problem, as I have many international phone numbers in my database. Is this a common issue that Airtable can solve? Is it just a problem for iPhones? Can anyone help me? 

Hi Folks,I hope this post finds you well. I'm working on setting up automation in Airtable where a script runs upon creating a record. The script involves an API key, and I'm looking for a secure way to handle it without hard coding.Ideally, I'd like to use something like process.env.ENV_VAR to reference the API key securely. Is there a recommended method or best practice within Airtable for achieving this? I want to ensure the key is stored securely while still being accessible for the automation to function smoothly.Any insights or guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hi all!I'm out of ideas and I need help. I have an automation which sends an email to a specific staff member (it fetches the email of that staff member in my table) when a date field is updated in a record. When I create a record and update the date field before adding the informations of the staff member, the automation ends up with an error message (which is normal since the email field hasn't been filled yet). Any ideas of how I could do the following by using an automation ? :When a date field is updatedAnd the email field is not emptySend an emailBest! David

I’m trying to use automation to copy a record and create duplicates of all the linked records in the original record. Here’s what I’m trying to do:Create a new record and update it with all the fields.Search the other table for all the records that are linked to this one.Use a repeating group to create a record in Table 2 and copy the information from each record that is linked to the new record.Unfortunately, I’ve tried so many ways, but it’s not working. Could you please help me?

Hi AT Community, I'm new to Airtable and ’m trying to create a formula that would display the Monday of the week / "week of" date for a given date. Monday is the start date of the week. I've tried formulas from other posts but when I add the formula to my field, it gives an error.The formulas I've tried are:DATETIME_FORMAT({Date},‘e’)+1,‘days’),‘M/D’))--   CONCATENATE("Week of ", DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD({Date},-DATETIME_FORMAT({Date},"e"),"days"),"M/D"))    --DATETIME_FORMAT(IF(WEEKDAY({Date Due})>1,DATEADD({Date Due},-WEEKDAY({Date Due})+1,'days'),IF(WEEKDAY({Date Due})<1,DATEADD({Date Due},-WEEKDAY({Date Due})-6,'days'),{Date Due})),'l')

So I am looking to utilise this, the base I am looking for is I enter a property address and it will create a task list of items such as photography, entering data into our system, safety checks all these to be either as Not started, in progress or completed. Of which the role for certain tasks will never change simply I would like for 1 name/property to be entered and it just creates all the tasks automatically.

Hi there.In a field, I have used the formula below: DATETIME_FORMAT({Datum gesprek}, 'DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM')&", "&{Traject begeleider} Weirdly, the outcome makes the time change by a few minutes. I can't figure out why. Setting timezone, or changing other aspect doesn't help.  Could someone give a solution for this? Thank you!

HiIs there a way to pull a last contact / email traffic date for a selected email address / domain?E.g. I'm emailing with joe@company.com  and I want to have a cell that pulls a date of a last email from Outlook (regardless if its an email sent by myself or by a recepient)Seems easy, but I can't seem to find the solution. 

I am working with a subscription table and every row is an entry every time a customer subscribed to an account (It is possible for a customer to have more than 1 account). I have a field for Start Date and End Date, and I want to know the maximum account the customer had at some point, so I am thinking that if I would know which dates overlapped, I can then record it to a different table but is there any formula in airtable  where I can do that? 

I have the followign problem.In a cell I have a list of tags, separated by a comma, i.e.Apple, Banana, GrapeThen I have a control list of allowed tags, that isApple, Banana, StrawberrySo, the formula should eliminate the tags Grape is it is a now allowed tags, and return this resulApple, BananaAny ideas on how to obtain it?Thank you very much in advanceRegards  

Hello, I am wondering whether it is possible to add an image to the body of the emails that are sent using automation? I want to add the logo of the company to the signature. Thanks Amir-Homayoun

Hey everyoneHoping someone can point me in the right direction.I have a table where I created a custom view and grouped the records based on a "Service type" field. In the table view I get a few different groups with several records in each group. This is working as I would expect.Next, I have an automation that finds these records based on the custom view I created. I then insert the results of that Find Records step into an email as a Grid of Records and have the "Use groups (if any)" switched on.What I get in my email is not expected. Each record is individually displayed within their own section within the group.Hopefully the images below help.Here is what my custom table view looks like  (I had to blur the data)As you can see I have 4 groups (A,B,C,D) and there are records per group. This view is exactly what I am looking to have in my email.

Hi all,  We are a small nonprofit (team of 14 people), who have been using AirTable for the past year and a half. We love its many functionalities. One thing we're hoping to do is integrate some emails into AirTable. Specifically, we want to write a record to an AirTable base when an employee CC's a certain Google Group email. Has anyone done something like this in the past? Would love to see examples if you are willing to share. Thanks,Alex

I’ve followed the steps in this article to sync my base’s calendar view with Outlook. I get the successful import message, but none of my dates show up on my calendar. What am I missing?

Is it possible to edit multiple rows at once? I can select multiple rows, but it seems I can only mass delete or mass share - I want to set a certain field value for multiple rows at once.

I am trying to replicate something that I know I did previously, but cannot find the right options to do it now.I've created an Interface with a page layout that is designed exactly as it needs to be.  (Record Review, but I don't think that matters.)  It is drawing from Table X, with a filter for only records that match Y.I want to duplicate that page exactly, and then change the underlying filter.  So, this page should be identical except that it's drawing from Table X, and filtering for only records that match Z.  (I do not want to add a filtering element that can be toggled by the user of the Interface.)I did this easily about 9 months ago, but cannot figure out how to do it now.  I can duplicate a page, but cannot find where I change anything about the underlying data or filtering.  Anyone know how?  Thanks! 

I'm slowly learning some basics, and struggling to understand how I would use Rollups to get "total" metrics. I have a "contacts" base, and a "metrics" base. I'd like to pull from contacts, roll up the total "sent," "opened," and "replied" emails and then I can calculate my % off of those in another column.

Hi,I receive information from a webhook trigger at the beginning of my automation. I want to apply conditional logic based on the values of certain variables in the webhook data (in this case, I'm using Stripe to trigger this Airtable webhook). If you examine the structure of the data contained in the webhook, you'll find that most of the useful variables are located in Body > Data > Object > ...However, when i try to set the condition in the Conditional logic block, I can't have access to the variables in Object (there is no little arrow ' > ' on the right)... Is this bug ? Is there a workaround ?Thanks for the help,LF

I'm using Airtable to manage school operations. We use Google Calendar to organize lessons for different teachers. I'm on a Pro plan.There is a limit of 3 sync sources per table. The problem is that we have 4 different calendars and we need to have all the events in one table. Is there a workaround for this? I tried a lot of different ideas but nothing worked.

Hello everyone!I have a database with multiple linked tables and I have a JSON response with which parts I need to update corresponding records in those tables. To achive that (as I'm thinking) I need to solve a simple problem of zipping two arrays into one. Say, I have [rec1, rec2, rec3] and [val1, val2, val3]. I need to get a zipped array [[rec1, val1],[rec2,val2],[rec3, val3]]. How could I make this transformation with Make? Any ideas?Andrey

I have two tables: Table 1 with companies and their data and table 2 which is synced from box that has the details on company logos as png images for each company. I have managed to use airtable sync to pull in the logo images from box to airtable - table 2. However now I want to copy those images to table 1 that has company data.  Basically the idea is to match the company names between table 1 and table 2 and then copy images from table 2 to table 1 if there is a match.Is there a way to automate this?If I had to make use of lookup fields, how should I go about it?Thanks!
