My vendor requires me to use JotForm to submit new client data and then returns a copy of the completed form to me along with a PDF of the same data. I need to enter that same data into Airtable and wonder if there is a way to scrape/import that data from the email or PDF sent to me from the vendor.

I want to make it simple for users on my CFL prediction website to search through my Airtable content. I'm considering using the Search app. Is this the right choice, and do you have any tips for setting it up effectively?any Idea?Any help is appreciated!

let table = base.getTable("Customer Survey Prod");let field = table.getField("Aged Days");let query = await table.selectRecordsAsync({fields: [field]});let recordsToDelete = query.records.filter(record => record.getCellValue(field) > 7)console.log(recordsToDelete);for (let deleteRecord of recordsToDelete) {await table.deleteRecordAsync(deleteRecord.id);}I am running into a 30 minute error when running this is there a way to fix it?

In my all of my Interfaces  now when I try to add a new linked record, I would click on "Create a new record" and enter the info and click Create button at the bottom BUT instead of showing the Create button it shows Field Deleted?? This is not my field, it is an Airtable button? All my permissions seem correct etc. Also in some of my other interfaces the same  Linked record does not even show "Create a new record" , even though it should be allowing  it. Please help! It does seem to relate to the same table of Contacts where other linked records to other tables do not seem to have the issue.  Also I tried this in 2 different browsers, same issue. See attached screen shot. Thanks!

I have an automation set up and the test is sucessful, when its running I can see in the logs that emails are sent as expected but we are not receiving any of the emails.I saw another post which referenced some bounced emails and AirTable blovking their domain as a result, this was removed and the problem was solved. Another said maybe account had not been verified, I can't see this as the issue from following the instructions too.Checked Junk, Spam etc. but no luck, happening for me and all users who are shown as being sent emails on the logs.Any help would be appreciated, as appears I can't speak to support, which is odd!

Hi everyone, please help 😣I have a table set up in a base that automatically updates (via typeform and MAKE) with job applicants name, email and scores on an MCQ that is delivered at a later stage of the application process. I have another table in the same base that lists all the applicants along with many other fields of interest, and I have created a field called 'MCQ score'.I need to find a way to have the 'MCQ score' field (in the applicants table) automatically update every time a new entry appears in 'MCQ score' field in the second table.Essentially, I need it to recognise the email address the applicants add to the MCQ questionnaire, match it up with the correct applicant (based on the matched email addresses) and then automatically enter the score into the 'MCQ score' field. This way I would have all the relevant info to hand in one place.I cant seem to find a way to have it imported straight into the correct table via

Hello -- we have a base with about 5000 restaurants listed in it, and our editorial team needs the ability to easily put together ad-hoc lists of selections from that set.  They might start by filtering for all the records in a particular city (Chicago), but then need the ability to manually remove records from that basic set.  What's the best way to go about doing this in AT?  In FileMaker Pro (where we're migrating from), you could do a Find and then simply manually Omit records from that found set.  Is there a similar way to do this in AT?  Or would we need to do something like create a new field, and then add a value to that field for all the records we want to manually group?Thanks very much - loving AT so far!

Hi! Recently I've been encountering a table syncing error ("Last sync failed 1 minute ago (external resource id could not be mapped to a rowJson)"). It's easily resolved by manually syncing the table with the error, but this is obviously inconvenient - we have a LOT of synced tables. I haven't been able to detect a pattern in which tables get this error or when. Has anybody else seen this?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.I'm a new user considering upgrading to a paid sub however there is an issue which if not resolvable means Airtable would be completely useless to me.I'm in the UK so using the DD/MM/YYYY format, no problem with this, all the data formats fine.The problem comes when I try to filter view by dates, when I click on the first of October and the 31st of October as the start/end dates for my view, Airtable uses the MM/DD/YYYY format despite all my data being in DD/MM/YYYY format. Due to this the only entry that comes up was from 10/08/23 (Tenth of August). None of my October sales are visible. If there is no workaround to this then Airtable is completely useless to me.I'd be incredibly grateful if anybody could assist.p.s I'm only using Airtable to keep a record of my inventory for my part time ebay reselling, I'm not a power user so will not understand complex formulas.

Hello!I need to create a data entry form that will limit dropdown menu choices based on the selection made in another field. I am looking at the possibility of establishing nested lists to define the hierarchy of options, but so far I'm not succeeding in creating an interactive drop down menu.Is nested lists the right approach? If not, is there another way to do this?Here's the example. Imagine I have a table that has 30 birds and 20 fish in the records.In question 1 I want the user to be able to select "bird" or "fish", and then in Question 2 I only want the 30 birds or 20 fish to show in the species selection box, depending on what was chosen for Question 1. (In reality, I have an intermediate grouping level, and many more species than 30 or 20.

Hi,The functionality of creating a new ticket is not working as it should. Is anyone else experiencing this error?Thank you

Hello all,I need a formula that will delete every instance of a string of characters between [] including the brackets. Basically I'm pulling a products from a database which is SKU code then the product name. Every SKU code is like the following [SHU-BATT-22-EU] SHURE BATTERY 22. Is there a way to remove any code between [] including the brackets so I am just left with the product name? Thanks in advance!

Has any headway been made toward the goal of being able to display the results of the survey during live group polling? I remember seeing some community debate about the need for such functionality around a year ago. Still, I haven't seen anything recent that indicates any work being made in that respect. Many thanks!

Hello,I have a question regarding the Airtable API key deprecation, and was hoping someone could clarify/confirm. Basically I am wondering whether this change will affect us, and whether we need to make adjustments. I've searched the forum, but I did not find an answer. Maybe this is a newbie/misplaced question. If so, I'm sorry.I have a base today where we use the Google Distance Matrix API to retrieve info from the Google API. We have no external services connected to the Airtable base. If we go into the "Developer Hub" and look at "API Key" the list is blank. That is true for "Personal access tokens" and "OAuth integrations" as well.The Distance Matrix API uses an API Key, which we have created through google. We use this key when Airtable connects to the Distance Matrix API to get info. This is done in scripts and automations, and we use the function"await remoteFetchAsync(txturlrequest)" to interact with the API through the scritps. In the automation

Howdy, Recently encountered a twitter account that I like which posts a progress bar for the year. I would like to make an extension that simulates that, so made a field that displays the day number of the year; specifically: DATETIME_FORMAT(NOW(),"DDD")However, when I am trying to then convert that output into a percentage, I only get an error.DATETIME_FORMAT(NOW(),"DDDD")/365I'm very confident there is a simple detail that I am overlooking. Would any of you happen to know why? 

Is there a way to autofill a hidden field or Date data on a form to show when that form was submitted? This to to eliminate the need of asking the user to fill in a date field.

Hello, I am attempting to create an automation which will take compare records from two separate pages and then input values from one page into another based. I have the system working for finding and inputting the data from one page to another, but the issue is that the source page has repeated entries for the same conditions (example: there are 3 entries for the name daniel, where the name is being used as a condition).Is there a way to have the "Find record" action remove repeated values from its list before outputting?If not, is it possible to do so with coding it?Thank you in advance.

Hello,This one has me frustrated because I know it can not that hard. 😁I need to create an Expected Ship Date field.  I have a Start Date field (formatted as Date) and a Ship Days (lookup field from another table).  I want to find out how many days prior to the start date I need to send out the package. First My thought was Start Date - Ship Days, that just gives me NaN message.Then I thought I needed DateTime_Diff(Start Date,Ship Days, 'days').  That gives me a 4 digit number in some cases and NaN in other cases.  i.e. 1/3/2024 (Start Date) - 7 (Ship Days), I get 8221.  I am thinking that is good and just need to DateTime_Parse it.  So I enter,  DATETIME_PARSE((DATETIME_DIFF({Start Date},{Ship Days},'days')),'MM/DD/YYYY'), and I get #ERROR!What am I missing?

My team uses Airtable extensively (and I'm still bitter about having to double our costs to not lose our syncs...but that's besides the point) and we have a few clients we want to help organize their data better too.  I want them to use Airtable, but I'm hesitant to ask them to pay for us to have an account to access their bases to help set them up.  So my question is: If I have an Airtable business account, is there anything stopping me from creating an account and workspace for our clients, and then just billing them for that?  There's nothing in Airtable's terms & conditions that explicitly deny this, but is there any reason I'm not seeing that makes this a bad idea?

In my rollup fields (on multiple bases), I don't have the option to add a condition shown in this article: https://support.airtable.com/docs/rollup-field-referenceWhy would that option not be showing up for me? (I have a Pro account)Here's what I'm seeing...Here's what's shown in the article:

Hi people! I’m building a “Birthdays” table in my “Calendar” base and I’m looking for a formula that says: if “Birthday” is within the next 2 months then display “soon” What would this formula look like?

Hi, I'm having Problems with a Script, that are very weird.I'm writing a Script that should pull Crypto Prices from CoinMarketCap. For that, I created a Table "Currencies". In this Table there are 3 Fields (for the sake of this example): "Name", "Symbol", "Price". Now in the Script Settings you can enter your API Key (not relevant here), the Table of the Currencies and a Symbol and Price Field. Now the Script should query all Symbols existing on the Table, compile them into a Comma-Separated List and query the API. Then it should fill in the Price for each Symbol. This is the Code so far: const config = input.config({ title: 'Crypto Price Importer', items: [ input.config.text('API_KEY', { label: 'API KEY' }), input.config.table('TABLE', { label: 'Table', }), input.config.field('SYMBOL', { label: 'Symbol Field', parentTable: 'TABLE' }), input.co

I want to combine multiple IF statements from data in two columns and return a TRUE or FALSE result.The two columns/data I am using are:User Subscription Level (Basic, Pro, Premium)Total Requests (Sum of values from multiple fields)What I've tried to do so far seems to not be working very well and I am a complete novice when it comes to Airtable formulas. IF( AND({Subscription} = "price_1NZdQ5C8Jx0D8bOIPFa8Nlto", {Total Requests}<"8"), "Limit Not Reached", IF( AND( {Subscription} ="price_1NkT9EC8Jx0D8bOIMXi0g37m", {Total Requests}>="25" ), "Limit Not Reached 2", IF( {Subscription} ="price_1NkT9EC8Jx0D8bOIMXi0g37m" ), "Limit Not Reached 3", "Limit Reached" ) ) Ultimately what I'm trying to do is check the user's su

Hello, I need to make CSV exports of a table that contains several long text field cells. Each long text field contains text with carriage returns, which results on the csv as actual breaklines, which is makes it quite tedious to fix manually. Apart from NOT using any breaklines within the long text filed, (which wouldn’t be the ideal solution as we need the information contained in the field to be nicely readable and not showing as a big block), would there be another way to prevent that issue? :pray: :pleading_face: I know the topic has been raised already but unfortuantely I could not find a satisfying answer to that yet. Thank you for your help! T.

Hi everybodyWe just upgraded to the Airtable Business account and recently updated our Airtable connection in Zapier from one user's personal access token to another user. Now all the Zaps using Airtable have stopped working - and have an error message that the Airtable connection is expired.I've tried reconnecting the airtable account several times, and each connection says expired.When you sign into Airtable through Zapier, there are a few new options... I've selected the organization option as this makes the most sense for us. No luck - it always shows as an expired connection. Any advice??
