Hi all,I'm excited about the new Deep Matching functionality in AI Labs, but I haven’t been able to get any results yet. Here’s what I’ve tried so far: Tested with both large live tables (10k–50k records) and small test tables (10 records) Used conditional filtering to narrow results down to a single expected record Tried multiple models (GPT-4.1 Mini, GPT-5 Mini, GPT-5) Has anyone been able to get results successfully? If so, I’d love to hear what worked for you.Thanks!

Hello, I have created a custom Airtable extension. But accidentally  I deleted the extension connection from the Airtable base. So how can I run this extension on an Airtable base? Here is only a single option to add a new extension. There is no option to run the previous extension.However, if I try to run by localhost:9000 it shows an error{ "error": "FORBIDDEN", "message": "blockId mismatch. Make sure you are entering development for the correct block." } 

Is there a way to prevent people from making edits, or self-upgrading their account from a Viewer to an Editor? I am on Enterprise Scale and constantly have to check to make sure people arent self-upgrading to Editor and thus taking away seats, or using seats we do not have available.One solution I found was to make everyone only an editor, but then they cant configure or modify the base which means I, or my team, would have to configure their base for them which we cannot support. Has anyone here found a solution for this? Seems kind of silly that there isnt a setting within the Admin panel to prevent this from happening.

Hello the community,I want to write a script which will read the data from a csv file which is in the attachment field "doc"  in the table "fileImport"The csv has 4 columns:Nom,Ligne,Jour,Valeurhere is an example of the data:Nom,Ligne,Jour,Valeur Bornet Marc,AL / ASD,2024-04-01,2Doe John 85%,AL / ASD,2024-04-01,17I want to parse all data and to create/update/delete records in the table "Planning" and writing the data in the appropriate field:Nom,Ligne,Jour,SV how can I do such a script 

When I first started working on this automation script, Airtable presented a list of records to choose as the input for running tests. That was all fine.Later on, I deleted that record, and now the script is failing because the record doesn’t exist. But I don’t see any UI for changing or selecting a new record to use for the test input.Is that not possible?  

Hi! I am using Airtable to create an inventory of items in a museum of education related items. The vast majority of the items in our collection only have a year attributed to the item (i.e. class of '89, picture taken 1976, Spring 1935, etc). I am wanting to create a timeline view to show a history of certain schools, subjects, and other grouping criteria. Is there a way to have just a year (YYYY) be read as a date for timeline and gantt purposes? 

I have the following use case: I have images saved as attachments within a table. I need to automatically upload any newly created images via API (not Make or Zapier due to volume) to an 'Input' bucket on S3. From here the images are manipulated by another API and saved to an output folder. When a file is uploaded to the output folder we would send this back to airtable.Can someone give me some general direction in writing a script to enable this? I understand I will need a presigned URL from AWS which is well documented, but I'm struggling on how I might do this using Airtables API. Any help very much appreciated!Many thanksEdward

I just asked ChatGPT for a list of all the selectable Records to get assistance picking one that was applicable for my use and was unable to locate one.  I just took a bunch of screenshots and had it convert the images to text but wanted to make sure that I could put it somewhere others would also benefit from it.  Figured this is a good place to start.  Here you go.This list is current as of 11/9/2025All selectable options for Record Types/Names:AccessoryAccountActionActivityAdAddressAdvanceAgreementAllocationAnnouncementAnswerApplicantApplicationApprovalAreaArticleArtistAssignmentAssumptionAttendeeAudienceAuditBayBidBookingBrandBriefBuddyBudgetBugBuyBuyerCabinetCallCandidateCapabilityCardCaseCategoryChangeChange ord

Hi everyone 👋I’m importing data into Airtable, and one of the fields arrives as a JSON array that looks like this:[ { "key": "Label", "value": "Sample A" }, { "key": "Code", "value": "0716" }, { "key": "Category", "value": "Lotus" }]Instead of showing the raw JSON, I’d like the field to display something more readable, for example:Label: Sample ACode: 0716Category: LotusI tried changing the field type and using simple formulas, but it still shows the full JSON array.Has anyone done this before?Is there a formula, script, or automation that can parse this JSON?Any suggestions would be really helpful, thank you! 

This might be a bit difficult, because it involves both Typeform and Zapier as well as Airtable. I’m having two issues but both are overlapping. In my Typeform I have some questions that are multiple choice with the option for multiple or single select. One of the questions asks about which states the person is involved with and has them all listed out. One person might just choose one state and the next might choose five. When I plug this data into Zapier, it comes across as one lump instead of individual selections so it doesn’t match up with the multiple select field in Airtable unless the person just selects one. Does anyone know how to fix this? In my Typeform, I have a question similar to the one above that lets the person choose what field they are in. Some people select only one, but several select more than one. This works with a linked field in Airtable. The issue I’m having is similar to the one above, if a person selects 2 it creates a new field wit

I create a Make.com automation that sends out a transactional email to the customer when a new record is created in my enrollments table.  The last step in the automation is to update the Enrollment record so show that the Confirmation Email was sent out by updating the record with today’s date.It’s a rather basic setup, but every time I test it out I am getting a “404 Not Found” error when Make tries to update the record.I have checked the Input / Output in the error, but I’m not finding anything useful.  The OAuth connection is working fine to pull the records, and the Base / Table / Field names are all pulled from the dropdowns.  I also checked the Base ID, Table ID, and Field ID from the output bundle, and they are correct.Airtable Update node 404 Error 

Hi everyone,Has anyone implemented an integration between AirTable and qTest? We’re looking to connect the two systems to sync test data or manage test cases more efficiently.I’d appreciate any guidance, documentation, or best practices on how to set up this integration — especially around API configurations or automation workflows (Zapier, scripts, etc.).Thanks in advance!

Hi,I am the owner of a workspace and I created a base that I would like to generate PAT but when I go to the developer Hub, I can’t find the workspace or the base in the add base field.  😭I must be missing some permission somewhere and I just couldn’t figure it out.  Help please! Thanks,Cynthia

Hey I’m using zapier to link my typeform to an airtable, which is all working fine apart from the multi-select type form (choose 1-3 options). It is not linking to airtable’s multi-select field type correctly. Attached is what I’m getting - all inputs are in one entry instead of separate. I’ve even manually added all of the input options in the field on airtable. The workaround would be to use 3 separate single entry questions in typeform but this is not very user friendly and would mean separate fields which also doesn’t help when comparing data. Please help! interested if anyone has managed to do this or have i reached airtable’s limits? How it is How it should look

I have two separate bases. When a form is submitted in base1, a record is created. When a specific record matches a condition, i want to use an automation to create a record in base2.Ive tried using the sync feature in the data layer, which appears to pull base2 data layer into base1 data layer but when i go to the automation, the table I want to create a new record in is there, but is greyed out and cant be selected. I went through permissions with someone from airtable, but we still can’t figure out what the issue is. This is from the automationIn the table field i can see the table i want to create a new record in, but it is not selectable. IN the data layer, it is listed as grid view  

I am just starting with Airtable and have created a tables of Jobs, Crew, and Crew Assignments. I am trying to show where we have assigned the same crew member to multiple jobs where the dates overlap. To me it seemed like a simple ask, but maybe not.I could do it mathematically if I knew enough about Airtable to know where to do the coding, but, I’m trying to use the AI as it is intended.  Here is some info: I asked Omni:Can you give me a field list for the Assignment table?Omni response:Assignment Table Field ListHere are all the fields in the Assignments table: Core Assignment Fields: Assignment id  - Auto-number (Primary field) Job  - Linked to Jobs table Crew Member  - Linked to Crew table Assignment Start Date  - Date field Assignment End Date  - Date field

I’m integrating Typeform with AirTable and all is working great with most fields but not with single-select and multiple-select fields. Documentation states these AirTable fields map to Typeform fields that are Multiple Select, which is what I used. When mapping these fields in my block, I can enable my AirTable select field but the equivalent fields in Typeform are greyed out so cannot be selected. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,I’m building a weekly service planner in the new Airtable Interface (Calendar element).My setup uses:  Pradžios laikas (Start date/time) – editable date field Pabaigos laikas (skaičiuojamas) (End date/time) – a computed formula field  The interface does not allow dragging or even showing the computed end date properly.Also, I cannot find any option to limit visible working hours (e.g. 08:00–18:00) — the calendar always displays 24h. My goal:  Display a weekly calendar (for 5–6 working days) Show jobs only between 08:00–18:00 Allow visualization using a computed end date

Is there a way to wrap the text in a filed name?

As my company’s Enteprise Admin, the Admin Panel Sync feature has been incredibly helpful for system maintenance audits.However, it would be even better if the workspace and base descriptions were available fields in the Admin Panel Sync. I could use it to have AI scan the descriptions and summarize all the work being done across the company, identify any duplicate efforts, and find opportunities to streamline workflows across teams. For large companies, this would be best/easiest way to govern Airtable usage effectively.

It seems so weird that Airtable doesn't have text color options in the long text field, even when rich text is enabled.Is there any plan to add this feature in the future? My team heavily uses colors in text fields in spreadsheets and in Notion and while trying to migrating fully to AT, this is a big turn down

I've developed a solution on top of Airtable tailored for real estate investors. This tool helps manage properties, units, tenants, and leases efficiently. Recognizing that each investor has unique needs, I am also offering customization services to fit specific use cases and requirements.My goal is to charge a monthly fee for using the solution, with additional fees for customization services. However, I’m uncertain about how to maintain control over the solution given it's built on Airtable. Specifically, I’m concerned about the following:Preventing Unauthorized Distribution: Is there a way to prevent users from copying my solution and distributing it for free?Access Control: How can I ensure that access is removed if a user stops paying?I would love to hear how others handle these challenges. Is it realistic to think that I can productize something built on Airtable? Are there any best practices or strateg

I am hoping to use Airtable Forms to manage applications for a grant, but I am running into issues in finding the best way to export the results so I can review each application/record individually. Clearly exporting to .csv is not the best way to do this. Further, the grant requires an attachment upload. For a simpler grant, I used page designer to print to PDF each record, and pulled in the required fields in order to evaluate. The application data takes up one page, so I just print the pages I need. This is becoming harder as more applications are received, however, because the print options are only “print current record” or “print records in a specific view” (i.e. my entire grid/all results). What I need is to only export/print certain records that have not been reviewed yet. For the more complicated grant, I want to export each record including the attachment. Not export the entire grid to CSV then download each attachment. Is this going to be possible? Each appl

What timezone is used by Calendar View and\or how to change it? Can’t find this in documentation so far. Using Pro plan, if it matters. My use case: I have an ‘events’ table and I want to make 2 calendar views for US and for Europe and be able to (re)schedule events by dragging on both views
