I WANT THE DETAILS OF THE SUBMITTED FORM TO APPEAR ON GOOGLE SHEETS… I KEEP ON TESTING THE AUTOMATION AND IT POPULATES IN GOOGLE SHEETS BUT WHEN I TURN IT ON TO WORK AUTOMATICALLY NOTHING HAPPENS… WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?   

I am trying to use Airtable and Softr to create a page with fund applications for individuals so that I can track which year a fund was applied for and what its status is (ongoing, granted or rejected). It is important that each fund is presented on individual lines through Softr. If you look at the picture, that is how I want it and managed to do it with Google Sheets and Softer. But I am having problems with Airtable. Does anyone have an idea how I can do it?  

Is this base design possible? See image. I need to schedule a variety of sessions categories (29) across a variety of times. Each of the session categories has a varied quantity of allocations. In the photo attached, at the top you can see the session times and the rooms. In each cell is a pull-down list of the allocation type. At the bottom left in the image, you can see the allocation type and the quantity. The table at the bottom sums up the amount of time session allocation abbreviation is entered in the top table and then allows for a horizontal sum calculation.The top table would be very easy to construct. What I’m wondering is if we can make the bottom table a visible entity on the same table? It will be important to see totals as the sessions are allocated.

Hi, my staff are grouped in 3 areas. Central, West and East. Each team has a deputy manager (DMs) and a manager (Ms). It's important that DMs and Ms can not see records of staff that are not in their area. Does airtable allow you to set up granular permissions?Also how can you stop deputy managers seeing the managers or ceo records?Thank you

Some field types including single selects, multiple selects, linked records, and collaborator fields will show “List” or “Record” instead of the values you may be used to seeing in the Airtable grid view. This is consistent with how the Airtable Web API returns information.

Hello,I need help understanding who can comment to each other in the Interface Portal feature. I set up an interface with multiple pages, each shared with different external guests who have "Editor" access to the interface, but not the underlying data. For example, page 1 is shared with all guests, page 2 with guest A, page 3 with guest B, and page 4 with guest C.Guests can only comment to me, the base creator, and when using "@" they only see themselves and me. Even if multiple guests have "Editor" access to page 1 (which all guests have access to), they cannot comment to each other. Here are some screenshots: Screenshot 1:   Does anyone know what's going on with commenting in Interface Portals? I've looked at help articles (like here, here, and here), but none really answer specifically about Interface Portals commenting.Thank you!

Let me first preface these questions with I’m a vet tech not a computer programer/data person, and I’m only doing this for my hobby. I have these two PDF files that I would like to add to my air table to help me classify my model horse show string. I would like to put conditions on the drop down list so If I select one general breed or specific breed or class only a certain list comes up,  Is this possible? What is the best way to do this?  Thank you for your help- Sirena Breed Cross refBreed/show class reference

Hi there,I am using webhooks to send data from our base to our application endpoint, but we've observed that if our endpoint fails to respond correctly, the webhook is retried many times.While we work on making our endpoint more resilient, the volume of retries can cause issues.Is there any setting, configuration, or recommended best practice from your end that we can use as a workaround to prevent or immediately stop a webhook from retrying upon the first failure?Our goal is to have more direct control over the retry behavior to avoid overloading our systems during an incident.Thank you for your guidance.

Hi all! Did Airtable recently push out an update or changes recently?  Many of my users appear to have lost user admin rights with no change on our end to facilitate that.

I have an AI automation step creating an summary and searching the web, but after working fine a few times i suddenly got this error: 'Automation failed: failed to access web page via internet' Does anyone know why this happens? Or what i can do to make sure it doesn’t happen?

 I have generated a form from a base that is working fine. When it’s submitted it allocates the user a member number. The Base is I denticle but depending on the agent it generates a unique number so there are 3 bases, Plus the master base (As I call it) When the form is submitted it automatically generates an email that sends the member number to the person generating the form. This works perfectly thanks to the support received in this forum.What I now need to do is generate an order form. I have done the form but can't work out the automation. Once the first form is completed and the email is sent, I need to send a Second email form unique that has the persons membership number and Name. They then have to fill out information specific to the order and make a payment. They then submit the form which I want to automatically fill in the blanks in the base. Once completed the form emails the manufacturing department the information for them to manufacture from. I need some guidance of w

Looking for a better way to setup this interface so that it is more efficient.  I’m currently using a list view to enter information to create a project estimate. In the photo, the user enters information for each workspace they are updating.  There could be up to 15 workspaces but I don’t want to list 15 seperate sections on this view.  I would rather it be setup to where the user would enter the data for the 1st workspace and if needed have an option to add a 2nd, 3rd, and so on but not have to show all 15 empty workspaces like shown.  The 2nd part of this is when the estimate is emailed to the team, all of the workspaces are showing up as a grid whether or not information has been filled in.  Optimally, I only want workspaces to show up if data has been entered.   

I’m having trouble making a successful API request via Postman, and a co-worker pointed out that the documentation says a requirement is for the user to be an “Enterprise admin”.See here: https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/hyperdb-table-read-recordsWhat admin roles, listed on the page below, does that refer to?https://support.airtable.com/v1/docs/admin-roles-in-admin-panel-overview-and-managementMy current role is an “Integration admin”. Does this role count as an “Enterprise admin”? Do all those listed roles count? Are these different contexts? 

Hi, wonder if I can relate data in different workspaces. Or it will be completely separated?

 Hello I struggle to configure an action button in the Record Detail view: I wish to update a check box field to ‘NO’ and then to ‘YES’  such that to trigger an automation, but that does not work. It is weird that if I configure both Updates to ‘YES’, the Button takes the ‘After.. ‘ appearance as default. What am I missing?Thanks   2 Updates Button  This is what I wish to doWeird behaviour (??)  

I’m trying to use the record review interface in one of my interfaces, but instead of loading the record details, it just shows a persistent loading spinner and nothing ever appears. I’ve tried refreshing and checking permissions. Has anyone encountered this before or found a fix?

Hello!When uploading images/attachments, the images are being put all into the same “Attachment” cell. I am trying to find a method that forces each image to get its own row in the table instead of being grouped together in a single cell.Can anyone help me out with this?Thanks,Doug.

Hi, I am using the Typeform integration and one question (single select) has 750 options. In Airtable: It is possible to massively add options to the single selection or multiple selection. Instead of paste it the 750 options one by one. thanks

The bases I create are labeled “External” (even after accepting my Organization's invite) and lack the same functionality as bases created by the Big Boss. Are there currently settings that ensure bases created by users within the organization are internal (and benefit from the functionality associated with our price plan)? Would changing my permissions level from “Creator” to “Owner” make a difference? I guess I’m confused that a user can belong to an organization, yet the bases they create do not. Put another way, in practice, every user other than the Big Boss is individually on the “free” plan and creates only stripped-down “External” bases. I'm told we're in the process of migrating from Teams to Business. Will that remedy this? It doesn't make sense to me that only one person has full functionality, regardless of number of users in the plan. I don't have access to the organization's settings. Are the ones with access simply overlooking something?I appreciate any clarity provided.

Hello! I’m trying to make a templated onboarding document that we can easily update with information fed from Airtable. Here’s the direct use case (Integrations are generally off the table in a corporate security setting): Hire Roster (lives in Airtable, holds new hire data) Microsoft Word/GDoc/OneNote (whatever!) that is complete with specific fields waiting to be fed new hire data, will serve as new hires’ onboarding document. Is there a way to automate the process of filling out a document without manually doing it?

Hi community I have the following question. I’d appreciate any idea how to active it.  I'm organizing my data for AI analysis and need it to be both structured and easy to interpret.To achieve this, I'm grouping the data by a key variable — in my case, Persona. This approach is working well and displays the information mostly as intended.However, one thing is missing: I would like to include a summary row (e.g., a SUM or total row) directly below each Persona group to aggregate key metrics (such as totals, averages, etc.).My question:Is there a way to automatically add a SUM row beneath each grouped Persona to display aggregated metrics for that specific group? 

I have an excel file that we currently filter by 3 to 4 fields to come up with a price for an item for vehicles. We filter by Year, Make, Model, and then for certain products, we also end up filtering by other parametes, but I’ll use size as an example. I am trying to create a form where instead of having to exit and go to the excel sheet, a person could potentially do the following: Select year → this should provide the filter for the next question and only return Brands for those years When they select a make, it should filter the next question to only show models for the selected brand. When they select model, if there are 2 models, it should bring up the size field for the next question, if there is only one model, it should bring up the ID for that specific model in the next question. After it brings up the correct ID for that model, it should show the only price option for that ID. I know I can import an excel file, but I’m not sure how to get it to let me make a form that filt

Hi there, If I have data that is pulled in from another file and in one column it is showing this - Project department (John Smith)How do I grab the (John Smith) part and let it populate into the column next to it?  Adding to that once I have the names do these names need to be added to the base in order for them to view their assigned things in an interface? Many thanks
