Hello! I share my Airtable calendar view to my Google calendar so that I can see dates for different clients. A few days ago, I changed a date for a few projects and they're not reflecting on my Google calendar. I've refreshed and unselected the "Sync" button on my Google calendar app and it's still showing the old dates.  Do you know why this is happening? The dates that are showing in Airtable, I need them to show on my Google calendar correctly.

How do I delete this orphaned sync?The original target table in Prospects is gone.

My daily use of my base involves a lot of calculations. Lately, AT is slow to the point of being unusable while doing these calculations. The base just hangs at "saving" until I manually refresh. I've split the base into four so that the base I'm now working in has a quarter of the records I used to work with, but this has not improved performance. Is there anything else I can try?

Hello all My script below, looks through records in a table to find any records that have a field value that matches the record that kicked-off the script (automation) when a button was clicked. The field used for the condition is a Single Line Text field (Tracker Cycle ID). The actual value being compared is passed into the script via input.config (matchCycleID).  I do not get an error but the script does not work as intended and the script editor tells me "This condition will always return 'false' since the types 'string' and '{ readonly matchCycleID: string; }' have no overlap.(2367)".  I would assume the value of the field being passed into the script via input.config is a different type of 'string' than the value in the record being compared (record.getCellValueAsString('Tracker Cycle ID')). &nbsp

I am trying to use Zapier to publish airtable records as cards on Miro. It works fine, but the link back to Airtable is broken. Zapier needs the record URL and it's not being made available. I wondered if I could work around this by making the record of the URL a field in the record, so that Zapier can use it. Is this possible? Any tops would be much appreciated!

Hi…I have a field with ‘arrival date’, a field with ‘terms’ (which is days prior to arrival payment is due. This is a number and varies from record to record)(Both are lookup configurations) and I want the third field to calculate the date it would be if the terms number (such as -3) is subtracted from the ‘arrival date’. I tried DATEADD({arrival date},terms,‘days’) but it didn’t work. I experimented with DATEADD({arrival date},-3,‘days’) and with the ‘terms’ look up field just being an integer instead of the look up and those did work so I am not sure how to do this. Thank you!!

Hi all. I'm trying to embed a base that has five tables. Only the first table embeds. When I click it open I can see the other four tables (linked) but I can't click through to them. What am I missing? I know it's probably staring me in the face but I can't figure it out nor find an answer anywhere here. Thanks!

Hi to all 🙂We have a couple of bases shared within our team members. I would like to see if anybody is 'inside', and to see what is he doing in any of bases. Is it possible to set somehow?I know about the options 'last time modified' and 'the person who last modified', but I would need some more accurate and in the real time.Thank you all, wish everybody Happy Holidays 🙂

Hello AllI send automated SMS to a list of contacts that is present into another table with the lookup function.My problem is the phone numbers are displayed with a coma as a separator (see picture below) and my sms provider does not recognise it. I would need to have  semicolons instead of commas Can you please help me with the syntax in case I would have some formula / rollup ?thank you 

Hello, In my base, one table has 2 records each. Currnetly, i do a lookup and it shows me both records. I only want the first to show up because it just doubles the name twice. How can I make it so that when i lookup from that table, only the first (or last) record shows vs having both.

Hello, I'm using Airtable to project manage a fabrication project where multiple units will be built throughout the year. One scenario I would like to track is when there is a single task that needs to be done for each unit, but only when that unit is ready. For example, the task "schedule logo wrap" needs to be done for each unit, but only when that unit is ready for it. What I would like to be able to visualize is how many units have been completed, and how many are left - maybe display a percentage or some other visual indicator. I'm not sure if I should just duplicate the same task for each unit, or I can role all units up under one single task.My current setup is:Unit Table - Lists each unit numberThanks!Tasks Table - List each task that needs to be done.

Hello,I, like many here in the AirTable forums, have dealt with seemingly "random" file deletions. One of the issues with this bug is that it is often sporadic. However, I have recently refactored one of my cloud processes that processes data from a record, generates a data file (application/json type) and puts it back into the record. I have a consistent set of records that I can run this process on, and I can literally watch my process write in all of the files, and then anywhere from 1-20 seconds later I see the files deleted  realtime! I know that my code is doing nothing to actually delete the files, and you can even tell from the record history that something is awry because the original file write is by our "Software" user and it specifies the Users token, and then the deletion is also done by the "Software" user but no token is specified (see attached screenshot). I feel confident that I have no old API key based processes that would be doing this action. 

Hello community!I have a problem, which I've been unable to resolve myself.I have two different tables, of which one table contains different entrees (table 1), which get combined in the other table in groups (table 2).Now, in the first table (table 1) with different entrees all entrees have a name connected to it.But in the other table (table 2) that groups these entrees the name should also be shown (rollup from table 1).Now the problem is that the groups of tables exists mainly from entrees with the same name. And if I show the name through rollup, I see the name many times, not just one time. I would like to only show the name once if the entrees all contain the same name.Hope my explanation is clear.Does anyone know how to do this?

Is there any way to search for emoticons (any of them) in a text field, and replace with something like a dash or space? Is there a code for emoticon that allows a formula to search for this? Emojis and emoticons are often put into titles of blogs, but I am curating titles and creating url’s out of them, but want to remove any trace of these.

Hi! I have two related tables - Challenges and Services.In Challenges I have records with sports challenges and their characteristics - e.g. ID number, name, months in which they take place, pricing. For every challenge I should have a service(s) (e.g. organizing the event / creating promo materials) in a Service table.I created an automation, which should work like this:1. Trigger: A new record is created in the Challenges table2. Condition: If in the newly created record (challenge) "Pricing" field is "Standard Pricing 2023" -> the automation should continue, if not -> nothing should happen3. Action: If the above condition is met, the action is to create a new record (service) in the Services table for EACH month of the challenge.The "Months of the challenge" field is a multiple select field in Challenges table, where you can select

Hey there! I have created an automation on my Airtable to send an SMS to my customer when they made a purchase. My customers are 2 tables : on the "Users" table and on the "Clients" table. I have their telephone numbers and also a formula field to convert their number in the French standard format : "+33678332729"When I type manually a telephone number on the field 'TO', the automation works and the SMS is well send. But, when I choose my specific formula field with the French standard format, It takes the source of the data (0678332729) and not the content (+33678332729)Here is some screenshot in attachment. Thank you in advance for your help!Seren

Hello guys! I’m new here and I’m still learning about Airtable, but I’m really enjoying it! I have some doubts about formulas, I would be very happy if they work for what I need, here are my doubts: 1 - Is there any way to add numbers in a column automatically every time you turn the month? For example: Column “parcels” on 12/22/2021 = 1 on 01/22/2022 = 2 and so on? This would be very useful because here in Brazil we make purchases in installments, so the number of installments, changing month by month alone, would make it much easier. 2 - Is there any way for the formulas to understand the “unique selection fields”? I would like to create a formula like: If the “unique selection field” has the option “green” the answer is 1, if it has the option “purple” the answer is also 1, but if it has the option "black " the answer is “1/2” Thanks in advance!

Here's the challenge I need to find a solution for. I have a table of "Orders" placed by Girl Scouts in my troop. Their orders are for Girl Scout cookies they've sold.There are 9 possible cookies someone can order, and there's a number column for each cookie that contains how many packages they are ordering.Say an order comes for 3 Adventurefuls, 0 Lemonups, 4 Trefoils, and 10 Thin Mints, and 0 of the remaining cookies Do-Si-Dos, Samoas, Tagalongs, Toffeetastics, and smores.  I need to create a record in another table, called Order Lines, for EACH cookie they ordered. In this case, I'd need 3 new records in the Order Lines table: Order Line 1: Adventurefuls, quantity 3Order Line 2: Trefoils, qty 4Order Line 3: Thin Mints, qty 10How do I create an automation that will create as many order line records as I have cookies ordered? Looping could work if I knew how to create a list of the cookies where quantity >0 and thei

Hello all,I'm developing integrations with other third party providers where I can supply a URL and they ingest that information. However, I was told there were errors with the image.On investigation, the "type" provided by the API (image/jpeg). However, the HTTP Content type is actually binary (application/octet-stream) and the filename is inlined in the content-disposition. I understand this may have been used for file downloads, but this post seems to think this isn't necessary. This seems more like a bug, as really the "type" is provided by the API, so I'm not sure its not set b the content-type. Would this ask be possible? I've been running into this issue several times. My

I have attached below all the images.In number, it gives me 100.In percentage, it gives me 10000%but I want only 100%   

The Team plan is $20 per seat/month billed annually. Does the "per seat" mean users? So if we have 10 editors, it'll be $200 per month? But the plan also says it includes unlimited editors. It's very confusing...

Hi there! I have a table containing my product in airtable. Also, my products on my website that build on WordPress. How I can update my product status on WordPress based on availability in my airtable base using Integromat?

I often copy data from several fields at once, so I need to use a horizontal scroll to select all the data, which is not really user-friendly. That’s why I thought maybe it’s possible to create a button field that copies data from some fields of the same row and sends it to the clipboard. I did some research and figured out it can’t be made with built-in Airtable features. I guess custom scripting may help, but I’m not familiar with JS, so I have no idea where to start or if it’ll even work:sweat_smile: Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Community, I am attempting to develop a QC DB for my international QC inspectors, in my dept we manage over 18,000 unique item id’s manufactured by over 400 factories, in 20 different countries . I keep a list of Item IDs and Factory IDs on a source of truth database which I have synced to my prototype inspection DB. For Simplicity Sake, these two tables, within source of truth DB, are as follow, Item IDs Table Primary Field( ITEM IDS) Secondary Field(Factory IDs-linked to Factory IDs table) Factory IDs Table Primary Field(Factory IDs) Secondary Field(Item IDs-linked to item IDs table) Within my inspection database, I’ve created 2 linked fields within the inspection table. Filed One(Factory ID-linked to factory IDs) Field two(Item IDs-Linked to item IDs) I would like the QC inspector to enter a factory ID in field one… after which I would like the QC inspector to select an item ID in field two… And alas we reach t
