Hi all,I have a table, called my Sync table, that I link whatever I need into several different tables. I want to add long-text columns to my Sync table and then hyperlink the fields. I then want to lookup those fields in all of the different tables that I'm syncing into. However, when I've tried to do this I've noticed that only the text is transferred to the Lookup field in the new table, but the text is not hyperlinked. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks!

Hi!Just wondering if there is another way to use "does not contain" condition in automations.For example.. I have one field (named Country) with all countries. And then I have three different emails.If the person is from Slovenia, they get email in slovene (condition: if the country contains: "Slovenia")if the person is from Croatia, they get in croatian (condition: if the country contains: "Croatia")if the person is from anywhere else (conditions: if the country does not contain: "Croatia", AND  if the country does not contain: "Slovenia")So in the last example I have to use two different conditions.. is there a way to use both countries in only one condition?Thanks!

I want to use timelines to keep track of, and plan things that happen to our garden beds at work - weather that is ammendments, planting, seeding, etc. Currently, each event - e.g. seeding of carrots, or application of lime is it's own record. When multiple things happen at once, against each bed, the timeline view is unwieldy to navigate. EG here I can only see 2 out of 60 beds at onceAll related events are grouped by a unique code. I can use another table, that connects all records with the same code into a single record, and timeline view that. Like this:But functionally this is inelegant, and for useful experience, I need to be able to edit the individual elements in the same base. For planning purposes, I really need to be able to drag the groups into different beds on the timeline.It seems like a simple functionality, but is there a simple way to achieve a reduced view, so I can view more of the farm beds at once?

Hi! I'm looking for a way to combine multiple Sync'd Table Views into a single Table.  I feel like this should be relatively easy, but i'm not thinking about the solution properly. I'll explain belowI have 3 Project Teams, and each team has their own AirTable Base for tracking their staff, and a bunch of fields relevant to that.I have a Studio Leadership Base, that has all 3 of these Projects syncing a view upwards so Leadership can see everything combined and create more holistic studio reports.The Leadership Base looks like this:Combined Studio Table   /     Project 1 Sync   / Project 2 Sync   / Project 3 Sync   /I'm a little stumped how to take Project 1, 2, and 3 tables and have all of that information appear in a single view in the Combined Studio Tablethanks in advance!  

Okay so I am fairly new to automations with Airtable. I am needing to create emails that are triggered by a certain time for reminder notices and I need/want there to be an actual attachment within the email of the PDF Notice. I will even settle for an image of the notice within the body. I cannot seem to figure this out. Is there a way to do this? The picture shows where I get lost as to what it wants so maybe someone can make it make sense.

Hey gangs - curious if anyone has come across this situation and found a solution. I'm working with a table that will contain all of the contacts for a business. These contacts have relationships to each other. We want to keep track of the people and who their clients are AND do the reverse - keep track of who represents the clients, which we've created two separate linked fields within the table (Clients field & Representatives field). What I want to do is set up an automation that automatically updates these linked fields when one is updated for the related records. Here is an example:Sally is a individual and Chuck represents her. When I add Chuck to the Representatives field for Sally's record, I want the automation to add Sally to the Clients field for Chuck's record so they stay up to date. I want to eliminate the need to update both records when a change needs to be made.Would love any help!

Hello again,I am trying to puzzle out the best way to know if a member of an organization has lapsed in their membership dues and when they were due.I have a payment table with records of each payment by members with the date of the payments. I want to list members who have not paid in 12 months since last payment and, list them as lapsed in the renew column.Added problem. The table lists all payments over time. So each member could have many entries of payments in the table. I only want to test on the latest payment per member. Yikes!Anyone have any thoughts on this?Thanks in advance, Scott

this is really irritating. i'm trying to report a bug but the freaking chatbot wants to send me here...anyway:there seems to be a bug: if you access an airtable interface with an account that doesn't have edit permissions and you press ALT + 1 (the shortcut to enter edit mode) airtable throws an error...which looks like buggy behavior to me.you're welcome.  

Hi there,I would like to organise the data based upon each individual user in the linked lookup field on the right hand side. When grouping the data it groups all of the looked up fields together. Is there a way of sorting the data to be per every individual linked user. So each user has a set of this data.Any help would be greatly appreciated,Bart

Hi all,I am running into an issue with a new table I have created in my primary base.I want to copy a single record from Table 1 to Table 3 and the record has 15 fields.When I copy the record from Table 1, it says '15 cells copied'.When I paste the record in Table 3, I get a dialogue box saying "Do you want to expand this table?To fit your pasted data into the table, we need to add 11 more fields."When I select 'Expand the table so that all of the pasted cells will fit.' then click continue, nothing happens.Nothing gets pasted, no fields are created, nothing.I tried clearing cache, doing this on the app rather than the website, deleting the table and creating a new one, using other records and nothing is working. Is this a known bug?I created a blank table with 15 fields and that allowed me to copy the single record in, but when I tried to copy multiple records and it had to expand the table by adding more rows, I experienced the bug again. The bug seems to happen when the 'Do you

When I paste more cells into a table than it has, the expand table message comes up. I click ok and nothing happens. Happening in all bases in my account... JL

copy paste of data to base not working .. had to import 

I have an automation that sends an email out after a form is submitted. It was working fine when I created it. I turned it off a few days ago to do some testing. When I tried to turn it back on today it wont go on. I keep getting a red triangle with a ! in it next to the automation name.I tried to recreate the automation which did not work either. I then took away the email step and I was able to turn on the automation. With it turned on I added the email step back and now the automation will not let me update. I click update and within 5 seconds the bar asking me to update is back.

I have an automation set up to send personalized emails to a set of records with a When a record matches conditions trigger. One of the conditions is that the value in the Email Date field is today. This automation has run reliably in the past, but now it's showing an alert symbol in the Automations sidebar and it immediately turns off when I turn it on.All tests were successful. Any ideas?

I have multiple automations available on multiple bases however when I create a new one or turn off an existing automation (running properly) and then turn it back on, it turns off itself automatically. It shows an alert sign

My script was working and then it wasn't after I increased my records from 50 to 100. With 100 records the script was being terminated after 30 seconds. 30 real time seconds is an eternity for computers. I will paste my simple script below and appreciate if you can provide some insight on why the script runs so slowly.First some background. My first Airtable automation triggers on a change to a Field in a Table. The following action is Find Records there are conditions in the action and the found records are output as a list of records that past the conditions. Next was the Repetable action that can take the list of records as input and inside I added the Update Record action. Here I hit the wall, for the life of  me I could find no way to auto extract the Record ID from the individual records in the list as input to Update Record.Next I turned to Make but ended in the weeds with the same issue. I used the same Airtable actions except Repetable was replaced with a Make Iterator. B

Hello,So the use case here is that we have a store with 50,000 products and we will start building additional stores. So I want to have a main product table where all the products are. This one is already done in Excel. Then I want to add checkboxes for B2B, IT, DE, and FR (Italy, Germany, France).  So when I click on the checkbox on the main list it should appear in the additional list. So when I click on b2b it should appear on b2b with all relevant data. In b2b I have additional fields where for b2b pricing for A, B, and C that I calculate with certain formulas based on Acquisition pricing.  Up to this point, it was easy. I already did this with automation. But where the problem comes is how the hell do I delete the record after? So I have it in b2b now. But let's say I don't want to sell it in b2b and I remove the checkbox. The records need to be deleted from b2b. I was thinking that the checkbox should be a relationship field that is the same in both table

I have some numbers i need to include in a string.These numbers needs to be rounded down to two decimals, which I use ROUND() to do, my problem comes if the number has trailing zero's fx:233.50 becomes 233.5233.00 becomes 233Does anyone know how can keep the trailing zeros?

Hello,Each line of my table represents a blog article.On each line, I have a tag, the URL of the page, and several URL cells to fill with the URLs of the articles with the same tag.Is it possible to automate the filling of the URLs of the articles with the same tag?If yes, how can I do that?Thank you so much if you can offer me a solution!

I have this formula as 1 of 3 parts that's extracting certain bits of data from a reference cell into 3 adjacent cells. What I'm wondering is if I can add something to get a specific character insert BEFORE the info...Examplereference cell contains : flavor1, flavor2, flavor3 This part below pulls out "flavor1" into a 2nd cellI'd like it to do that but add a " / " before the flavorSo the result would be " / flavor1"IF( FIND(",", FlavorsLookup1_1),LEFT({FlavorsLookup1_1},FIND(",", {FlavorsLookup1_1})-1),{FlavorsLookup1_1})  Thoughts/suggestions are appreciated in advance.

I have a Zap that uses the "Find Many Records (With Line Item Support) in Airtable".It seems the search is limited to only 10 records.Is this the limit of the function or is something else happening that I'm missing?
