Hi,I am trying to create an automation where:If "Adviser 1 ranking" column has been updated as "Outstanding", then the "Adviser 1 rating" column will automatically have 5 stars appearing. Same goes to any update on "Adviser 2 Ranking" will update the "Adviser 2 rating", "Adviser 3 Ranking" with "Adviser 3 rating". In all 3 single select Adviser ranking fields, I have "Outstanding" (i.e. 5 stars), "Very good" (i.e., 4), "Good" (i.e.,3), "Poor" (i.e.,2), "Try Again" (i.e.,1).Could anyone please help out?Thanks! 🙂

Hi Airtable Community, I'm trying to understand the cost structure for Airtable licenses. Specifically, can a "read-only" user still submit product feedback through an integration? For example, a Customer Experience Agent who has a "read-only" set of permissions still submit product feedback through Zendesk to Airtable without being billed?

Hello everybody,I'm trying to automate sending an individualized email to people in my database who match criteria.ex :trigger when creating a new record (announcement with location A criteria, type of mission 1),I ask this airtable in the face of the action to find records corresponding to the criteria: location 1 and mission 1 (people)then I ask him to send an e-mail and there I get an error message that I can't fix"Invalid email address in the "bcc" field: <span style="display:inline-block;height:1px;width:100%;background-color:#999"> </span><br/><span style ="display:inline-block;height:1px;width:100%;background-color:#999"> </span><br/><span style="display:inline-block;height:1px;width: 100%;background-color:#999"> </span> "Has this ever happened to anyone can you help me?

Hello,I would like to achieve the following.My trigger is "When record is created" and I would like to send a message to my Slack channel once a new record is recorded in my Airtable base. I’m tracking three variables for example Category, Price, Date. I want to be able to see the specific amount of times a specific category was created, for example, if G99 appeared in the Airtable base it would count 1, if G88 appeared it would count 1, if G99 appeared it would now count 2 and so on. However, I want the count to reset daily meaning everything would return to 0 after a 24h period.  I want the Slack display message to look something like this…“A sale was madeCategory: G99Price: 999.00Date: 9/19/2023Sales for current category: XX (with dynamically updating count)” Is it possible to configure a dynamically updating channel message to Slack? I’m also not sure if it’s entirely possible to have dy

Using the "created_at" field, I need a new date field (due_date) that takes created_at and adds x number of days. It's easy to do this with a formula field, and I have that set up already.However, I also need the flexibility of being able to manually overwrite the due_date if necessary. Forumla fields can not be edited. How can I benefit from the efficiency of auto-calculating a due date + the flexibility of manually adjusting if necessary?Thanks!

Recently, we found that Date field has "Time Zone" option. Therefore, we set the time zone as "Asia/Seoul" of the date field and we got rid of another converted time field since it is not necessary any more. However, the problem occurs when we send an automated email using this date field. In the Airtable field, we put this value: 2023-01-10 10:00 KSTWhen we send an automation, the mail shows this: 2023-01-10 01:00 UTCDo we need to make another field which has the converted time to show correct time in Automation, or is there a way to show a correct time in Automation with the specified time zone in the field?

Context:I've encountered an issue in Airtable where an automation I've set up to group records in one table within a linked field of another table works correctly for records with unique primary field values (the leftmost field). However, for records with the same primary field value, it only groups and links the most recent record while unlinking the preexisting records with the same value. This poses a problem for what I'm trying to achieve.Goal:My goal is for the automation to link all records in one table to the field in other table, as long as they meet the conditions of my automation, regardless of whether or not their primary field value is the same.Path:Triggers:- When an updated cell is detected in Table 1, the following actions occur:Action 1:- It creates a new record in Table 2.- This record contains two fields:- One for the updated cell's value (placed as

Here it goes...I have an email campaign table that I import email lists to from various led gen.I have a client intake table that I use to track when a client submits a proposal request and eventual becomes a client.Email is the unique client identifier across all tables.I need to search my client intake table to see if any of the 'email' field matches an 'email' in my campaign table.If it does I need to grab the 'status' from the client intake table and update the 'status' on my email campaign table.The reason I do not want to link the tables is I have a ton of records that do not need to be brought over from one table to the other. I just need to know if a client engages or status changes after I email them.

Hello everyone!I was curious about how I can go about autopopulating another table when a single select drop down item is selected. For example, I own a roofing company. My tables go from CLIENT to PROPOSALS to JOBS. Client is initial meeting (phone, e-mail, in-person etc.). Proposals are to create then send to said Client. And Jobs is after a job is won.What I would like to do is in my OPPORTUNITY column, when I choose CONTRACT SIGNED in the drop down menu, I would like it to autopopulate my JOBS table. Any help is appreciated!

Is it possible to limit the number of records syncing from one table to another?For example "Table A" has 15000 records and I want records 1-100 to populate "Table B", 100-200 in "Table C" etc.

Hello!  I've been working with Airtable for a year and have built lots of automations and formulas. I'm stuck though and hope someone can point me in the right direction! I've got a base with Table A and Table B. Table A is a list of todos which are linked to clients who are listed in Table B, so each client has multiple todos linked.Table B also has drop-down list of all of the stages that the client goes through.Table B's primary field is their unique client number. Table A therefore has a linked field with that identical number in it. Table A also has another field with the same unique client number.I am trying to write an automation which will do this:- When a record in Table A is marked "done" (or other trigger depending on the type of todo)- The drop down for that client in Table B is updated. This seems like it should be simple...- Create the trigger in Table A's Todo recor

Hello,tldr: does anyone know if there is an article which defines the meaning of all the tokens available for automations? If I had a clearer idea I don't think I would have the following problem.Can anyone give advice on the following please?I have two tables with a many:many relationship (Materials and Storage Locations). I have a third table to document individual relationships between Materials and Storage Locations i.e. material x is stored in 2 different locations and I need to display the info of the quantity of material x in each location.I have an automation which is successful and creates a record in the Table 3. However, if the material is already stored in one location and I need to record that it is now also stored in an

I am using the following script for when a new record is added that will provide a running total. // Hard-coded table and view nameslet tableName = 'Invoices'; let viewName = 'Grid view'; let table = base.getTable(tableName);let view = table.getView(viewName);let result = await view.selectRecordsAsync({ fields: ['Amount'] });let runningTotal = 0;for (let record of result.records) {// Hard-coded field nameslet amount = record.getCellValue('Amount');runningTotal += amount;// Hard-coded field name for updating the recordawait table.updateRecordAsync(record, {'Running Total': runningTotal,});}Runs well and little too well. 😂When I add a record it runs the script before I'm able to add the amount and a new blank must be added for the correct calculation to appear. Is there some sort of delay that I could add or am I taking the wrong approach?

Hi everyone, I am wondering if it's possible to create radar charts using Airtable Extensions. I would prefer a way that allows me to create one with minimal code, but I am open to other methods as well.Thanks!

I know that there is already an automation that allows for Airtable to send SMS to Twilio, however I am looking to put together something more advanced. I want to use Twilio Studio to create a flow that would remind clients of their appointments (the client's information comes from AirTable, the date/time, and numbers come for a table) I want it to call landlines or text cell numbers to ask if they want to meet remotely, in-person, or reschedule. then i want the responses to be recorded back into AirTable under the client. How can I set this up?

Over the past few weeks we made changes to our data. We have a main reference base where we link a number of tables from and after changing and deleting some information from that base, Airtable has been reallocating records (wrong ones) in every single linked table. Can anyone let me know how to resolve this? We have a table that has a list of organisation names that is synced to various tables. After we cleaned out that list, we realised that where Airtable would usually leave a linked record blank when something was deleted in the main reference list, it is replacing the deleted data with its own data (organisation names on the list 

 Hi, i don’t understand… maybe API KEYS BUGGED ?   

Hi everyone! Just a simple question (so simple that the bot did not manage to answer to it) from a real dummy. I just use Airtable to store personal data (no shared base, no third apps use): will the API keys deprecating affect the availability of my datas? Will it prevent me from sign in into my bases? Thanks a lot to anyone who will solve my douts. 

When I type in the name of a task ticket in the Primary Field, is there a way to quickly confirm the name, exit the cell and make a new record?At the moment to do the behavior I'm asking about:-I make a new record, with the + or shift enter, enter in my name \ string, hit esc, then shift enter to make the next record.The desired behavior would be a hotkey or shortcut that combines the sequence Esc + Shift Enter.  Shift + Enter after string entry --while data entry in the cell is still active-- would be ideal to work with current new record behavior.

I have an automation that was working.  I turned it off once so it wouldn't trigger an email I didn't want to go out.  When I turned it back on (a minute later), it refreshes and turns back off.  There is a error sign next to the name of the automation, but when I test it or run the automation manually, everything works fine.  Any ideas?

Has anyone found a solution to have a junction table automatically updated, when new records are created or existing ones deleted? I love the Junction App that is supported by Airtable, but need a solution that triggers it to run. And from what I understand there’s no way to run an app through an automation. So I tried to take the script used in the App and use it in an automation, but can’t get it to work. I’d even hire a programmer to do this, but when I tried to find someone on Fiverr they knew less than I did about scripting … LOL.

Hello all!  I'm using airtable for my inventory management system.  I'm using a bar code extension, and it needs a field to generate barcodes from that will be either 12 or 13 digits.  I already have a field that has just started from one and numbered each record / item sequentially.  So I'd like to change it to just add enough leading zeros that it will work with the barcode generator.  I don't even know where to start, and everything I tried to google was way more complex than my current understanding of code / scripting.  Would be easier for me to understand if there were a solution with airtable formulas but whatever works.  Thanks!

Hi, I'm trying to make a formula that combines different records to a readable title.I'd like to add the Product field to the formula, but only if it has not more than one value and only if the value is not 'Algemeen'. The last part I can fix, but I need some help with the check for the amount of values. The current formula combines 5 fields, with only a check for the Product field. Any help for the extra check is appreciated. {Team} & "-" & {ID} & " | " & IF({Product} != 'Algemeen', {Product} & " | ", "") & {Section} & " | " & {Name}
