Hi, I have 20 records in my Base that were accidentally overridden by an Integromat automation. I need to restore the records to a previous version, but “Undo” will work, and there is no Snapshot for that time period. I can see the previous edits in the Activity Log for each record, but it looks as if I can’t access this data through the API. Is there any way to restore records to a previous version based on edits in the Activity Log of a record, rather than a Snapshot? If there’s not a way to do this within Airtable itself, is there any third party software that you can recommend to extract this data? Thanks for the help!

I know it is possible to create custom Extensions and publish them to the marketplace. I was not able to find any information on developing third-party actions for Automations.For example, there is a list of integrations:Can I develop a new one for a third-party system? I'm looking for a way to develop and publish it globally for other users to consume. I'm a part of a product company and we want to give Airtable users option to integrate through Automations. 

Hello, I am using Automations to keep my Base in sync with a Google Calendar. Specifically, I am importing Google Calendar events into AirTable. For one-off events, it works great! Creations, updates, and deletions get mirrored pretty well. However, when I create a recurring event in Google Calendar, only one row gets created in my base. My automation trigger is set for “when an event is created in Google Calendar” and the action is “create a new row”. If I create an event in Google Calendar that repeats every Monday for one month, I would like 4 rows to be created in AirTable Does anyone know if this is this possible with Automations? Thanks so much!

Hi everybody,I have a question regarding syncing multiple workspaces into one workspace. I then want to merge the data that is synced so that I get one database with experiments. It is constructed as follows:We now have 3 workspaces with experiments, one for email, CRO and socials. Now we want to have an overarching workspace where all experiments come together so that we have one large database. For example, we can collect all experiments from one campaign.Now I succeed in syncing a view, but it then becomes a separate tab in the overarching workspace. Is it possible to import all data into one table. Or should these be 3 tables and is it possible to merge all this data into one table so that we have one library.I'm curious if anyone knows a solution for this.Regards, Martijn

I have an airtable interface that has a dropdown. When I select a value from the dropdown, it shows me some records in the gallery view. When I click on one of the field, it opens up details of a linked record in the list view. Now I want to show these results in the list view in a filtered format. Two of the values in the filter are supposed to be fixed and the third value can be changed by the user. Is there a way to do this using condition grouping? I tried to do it but everytime I publish the interface the filter vanishes. How do I save my filter settings? I tried an alternate approach using filter dropdowns (screenshot below) but I am not too happy with the UI. I want location as dynamic which user can select and the values under More to be fixed. Is there a way to hide the fixed values but stil

Hi all! My team has 3 tables that we use to keep track of events that have associated dates and times, including trainings, out-of-office holds, and planned travel time. I want to create a calendar view in AirTable that includes all 3 of these event types to make scheduling easier. I'm pretty sure that the only way to do this is to combine all 3 tables into a new table where I can create the views I want. What is the best way to import all of the records from those 3 separate tables into a combined table? Is there a script that I can run that will do the importing?Once the new table is created, will I need to create automations that will ensure that if a record is created or updated in the separate tables, it will be updated in the combined table? Or is there a better way to make sure that both places stay current?Thanks, I appreciate the help!

Hello,I'm reaching out for help on Interface Design ---> How can I add an editable checklist into my Interface? I keep running into problems (outlined below). If there's a simple way to add a checklist of, for example, 10 items, with an editable checkbox by each one that would be great.Attempt 1: Use the "checklist" markdown formatting in a text box. While I am editing, I can check/uncheck boxes, however, when I publish the Interface and attempt to change the checkboxes in the live interface, I can no longer edit them. (Meaning, only "editors" can check/uncheck boxes, but normal Interface users cannot). This is the feature that uses the checkbox in a text list instead of a bullet or dash.Attempt 2: Inserting a "checkbox" field into the interface a

Is anyone else having problems with slack sending an actionable message? 😣everything was working fine until Monday. My regular slack message automation is working fine! I disconnected and reconnected the my slack account to airtable. I also ensured my Slack had the airtable app integrated. All I see is the following message but I do not see what the actual error is. The channel and slack account is correct. The trigger also works perfectly. SOS. 

Hi, My organisation is on the Team Plan with budget allowing for only one collaborator. We need to email read-only users and / or external emails (max 50 recipients per email) but I'm unable to find out so far if this is possible without being charged. I'm also struggling to find the limits on these type of emails. I've attached a basic example of a select number of records which I wish to share in an email. Would appreciate if someone could advise / tell me a better approach! Thank you. 

To group records for planning purposes, I use a unique code for each record, then a custom text field to assign one of those codes to records that need to be grouped. This is for planning vegetable plantings with multiple vegetables in a plot. Here's an example of how that works:Where ID + Field Date is generated, and then I manually assign one of those codes to "planning ID" where those crops need to be considered as a group for certain planning activities. For planning purposes, I have a view that groups crop/records by planning ID. I also have one that sorts by crop in alphabetical order. However, I need a visualisation that does both - e.g. I need to be able to sort by crop AND visualise the other crops that are grouped by the same planning ID. I don't necessarily need an easy link to those other relevant records, bu

We have a "Last modified time" field that updates when either of two other fields are changed. We discovered a group of records all modified on the same date and time (05/11/2023 at 12:50 PM) but when we opened each record to see the revision history, there is no trace of how the records were touched. How could that happen?There are no automations that run on a schedule.There is an automation that runs when certain triggers are met. We looked at the run histories but none of them ran at that time.Any ideas?

Airtable's API does not permit the import of all fields containing numbers or currency ending in zero to no-code platform Bravo Studio. Can someone provide me with any tips or insights on what might be happening?

On this view,I need to create groupings based on the Max Price and Listing Price.The amount should match, but when I tried to do the grouping it did not show the correct numbers.here's the current setup.  Here's the outcome.The Max Price Should be $280k but why is it that the Listing Price of $285k was included on this group which supposedly was not? 

Hello all! I am in need of some brainstorming. My organization uses grant funds for some of our programs and I am trying to figure out the best way to keep track of how much we have left and which programs they are linked to. In order to do that I have one table with all of our program information and one table with the information about the grant, i.e. how much we received. For most of the programs we only use funds from one grant, so right now what I have is on the program records table a field for how much grant money was used, then I link it to a specific grant and in the grant table a rollup and then formula field calculate how much of the money is left. However, on occasion we do pull funds from two grants for one program. This creates an issue as then both grants are pulling the same number from the program records table and subtracting the full amount from both totals, rather than the partial. I considered having two used funds fields in program records, but th

Hi all - I've noticed a new issue in interfaces. When I add a text element, it does not expand to show multiple lines of text. In the screenshots below, see that I've added a text element containing a bulleted list with two lines. They both appear when I'm clicked into the text box (although the blue box only surrounds the first line), but as soon as I click out of the text box the second line disappears. I cannot find a way to resize it. Didn't the resizing used to happen automatically as more lines were added?I feel like this has just started happening recently. Has anyone else noticed this issue?Thanks,Kelsey

@Phil_Rose @LarsJohnson I'm not sure who to direct this to, so I hope one of you can help.I need to get some idea of what is going on with the changes that seem to be going on.  I have a interface designed for a client, and finally have reached the point were I am getting to have them upgrade their production account.  To get ready I needed to make some final changes based on their feedback using my test account.I needed to add some list pages with sidesheets that are where some fields are made editable.  The ones I have on the existing test interface were easy to format and allowed resizing of the fields as well as positioning several on a line.  A partial section looks likeWith the changes that have been made all I can do is stack the field

Hello! I would like to set up automation using "Run a script" that adds to a table new rows from a name that I give with running numbers.

Hello,  I'm working on an inventory system.  Paired with AirPower, it connects to our shopify storefront to upload on the base what we have in stock on our website.  Once I get this finalized, it will also work in reverse.  We have individual items and then packages with multiple different items within it.  I have made a separate tab with Compositions for my mixed packages based on this discussion.    Thus, with sticking in the structure of Airpower, I have one tab for ALL products, one tab with variants that holds the inventory, and another tab (Compositions) that connects all the individual items (within variants) to its mixed packages (also within it's variants) and associates individual item quantity in each package.  All this being said, I now am coming to a standstill.  I

I am new to Airtable. I have created an interface, but I am struggling to figure out how to display alerts or message boxes to the user in the interface if they are open and not taking any actions for a certain interval (like five minutes). Ideally, I would like to display a help dialog where they can search for or see a link to another page. I don't know if this is possible, but I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could guide me.

I'm trying to calculate return rate (items received/ items delivered),  but aggregate them by day.  However, there are multiple receiving lines for each event, and only one input for items delivered.  I'd normally do a formula based off a pivot table but I'm not sure how to do that in Airtable.Here's an example of the table I have Event NameItems ReceivedItems Delivered Timestamp 1x1040 Timestamp 2x20  Timestamp 3y4050 

Hi all,I've found a script that I've used as a script app to compress all of the images in my tables. Now I would like to turn that into an automation, so when I upload a new image it will use my tinypng account's api to compress the image. I've changed the script a bit in order for it to work as an automation but I don't know how to fix this error. My code: // Modify these to your own values. let tinyPngApiKey = '00000'; let airtableAttachmentSource = 'Billeder'; let airtableAttachmentDestination = 'Billeder'; let airtableColumnToLog = 'Billeder'; // Don't change these unless you know what you're doing. let table = base.getTable("Anlæg"); let view = table.getView("Alle anlæg"); let queryResult = await view.selectRecordsAsync(); for (let record of queryResult.records) { let attachments = record.getCellValue(airtableAttachmentSource); let compressedImageUrls = []; if (attachments && attachments.length > 0) { // Iterate

Hi,I have a base where we I need to return the lowest value possible value for items that share a unique identifier (this is generated for each record and only some overlap) AND the same quantity. For example, say I had 4 records that generated their identifier to 101A, with quantities of 200, 300, 400, 500. For All of these records, I need a field that returns the minimum quantity (200) for each record with that matching ID ; and will work with possibly thousands of unique identifiers. I thought this would be an easy formula, but cannot seem to make this function whatsoever.
