Automations

Hi all,I've followed the advice, and every other ticket on this subject that I can, specifically disconnecting and deleting previous Gmail, integration, connections, and re-adding them, including adding three different accounts in case that's the problem. I've also created a new automation to see if that's the issue, although the air table processing seems to be okay. I've also waited a few days and tried it all again to see if it was a temporary problem somewhere on the stack, still no luck.I just keep getting Gmail related errors like those below. What can I do? Any help appreciated."Google reported an error while processing this action:Request had insufficient authentication scopes."   

Hi there!I need to send calendar invites by email automation to people I book for events. I'm using Make to create the calendar invite and upload it as a file in Airtable.Then, I'm using automations to send the .ics file as an email attachment to people I book for my events. They can then download it from their email and it creates a calendar invite for them. Everything seem to work just fine when I test things.However, I have two types of emails to send via automations : Initial invitation when I'm booking someone to an event :Triggered when the entry matches conditionsSends email with .ics attachmentThis one doesn't work and the error is 'An attachment url is disallowed' Updates (for when something changes such as the event durati

In airtable I have created an automation 'send email'. I 'insert value from field', the field being a number. The number comes from an Airtable field which is a formula that is formatted to $123,456. The 'insert value from field' is not formatted and comes out in the email as 123456.123456789. How can I pass the field format to the inserted value?

Hello!I have a formula field set to format as a percent in the table. That field is then part of a linked record lookup field in a table that will trigger automation to send emails. I want to share that percentage in the email. However, when I use the lookup field in the body of the email, it only allows me to include the number as a decimal.  Is there a way to get this to show the percentage?The original formula field formatted as a percent:The lookup field settings:The automation's email token:The result in the email:

Hey all, I have a table which is a  synced report from Salesforce that shows me opportunities coming up for renewal. I also created a different table with the same fields but is populated from the Salesforce report "SFDC Renewals Report" via automation: When condition is met (opportunity ID is not empty) - then create record in the second table "AE<>RAE Worksheet". My issue is that we moved accounts around in Salesforce and now some accounts have a different Renewal Account Executive or Sales Person. I cannot figure out how to automate the update of that Renewal Account Executive field in the "AE<>RAE Worksheet" to match the one in the synced salesforce report.  Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi!Has anyone come across a way to bulk / auto reduce image size for uploaded attachments to Airtable? I also use Zapier and I am looking for a way to do it without taking on another monthly subscription only for this task. Thank you!

Is there anyone that could assist me for a 5min video call to see why my syncing of pages are not working please or do airtable have a support team that can help?Thanks all

I’m looking to streamline data entry in my Airtable base by implementing real-time auto-suggestions for the 'Company' and 'Company Address' fields within the Interface Designer. Specifically, I want users to be able to start typing a company name or address, and have Airtable suggest existing entries based on what’s already in the table, similar to how Excel auto-suggests based on previous entries.I’ve explored options like linked records and single select fields, but these either require extra steps or don’t provide the seamless experience I’m looking for. Ideally, I’d like this functionality to be constantly available while users are working within the Interface, without needing to run scripts manually.Has anyone successfully implemented something like this, or is there a recommended approach or workaround that could achieve this within Airtable’s current capabilities?Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello community,I have a table called attendance where each record is the date of the event, the participant, the payment.I want to automate the fact that each time a record is created from this table, it updates the list of participant from the table Event.Thanks for your help,Marine

Hello,I'm trying to perform duplicate check in a table and have only unique records maintained in the table.For Example: ID Name0000 ABC0000 ABCThis should return one unique row and update the table.Can it be done via automations? Looking for the steps here. Thanks.

HelloI would like to know if it is possible to build an automation --> if Column B (Actual timeframe) changes and does not match with Column A (Initial timeframe), then the Column C (On time?) would change to YES or NO (single select option YES/NO)? Additionally, the actual timeframe value comes from Miro board. Thank you in advance! 

Hi, I'm using an automation to Find Records on a quote and then to Sort this list before duplicating these records onto a Purchase Order.  I'm using the Sort list function and the the Looping function to go through each record, referencing the sorted list instead of the original set of records from the Find Records step.  Unfortunatley I'm using Manual Sort, and Airtable doesn't recognize its own Manual Sort means of using lowercase and upper case letters to sort this list properly.  Has anyone else run into this?For example, in this list: c1KWVc1KYc1KZc1Kbc1Kdc1Kec1Kgc1Ki The sort results put C1Kb as the first result, while Manual Sort puts C1KWV as the first record... Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions.

Hi folks!I recently received an Airtable email that allowed me to download a calendar invite using a button inside the email. I was wondering if there was any way to do this using email automations? I've included the email I'm talking about as an attachment. 🙂 Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone. I am trying to set up an automation where when a diagnosis field for a trip in one table is updated it finds the corresponding person (that is connected) in another table and updates a diagnosis field in that table where only different diagnosis is entered. Attached is what I have started. It doesn't run. I tried adding a find records step but couldn't configure the condition (screen grab also attached). Suggestions please!

Hoping someone here has the missing piece. Goal: In an Airtable form when selecting the Other option to a pre-defined list of options, and entering a single line text for that option, that text then presents in the original table with the other pre-defined options for future selecting. I have:Table 1 that populates via a form built in Form View. The form asks for the submitters State.Multiple tables that are predefined lists of Group names based on State. For example one table is all CA group names, another all MA group names, etc. Each table has an Other option.In the form when someone selects a state, the respective table of their state's Group options presents. If they select Other a single line text field presents to add in their required response. That  is working correctly. What is not working correctly is the aut

Hi,Our process includes creating hundreds of Google Drive folders for client sharing during a year. This is now done manually, and I am looking at automating it if possible. Ideally a trigger in Airtable would the use some information identifying the client, create a Google Drive folder, make the access "Anyone with the link", fetch that link back to Airtable, and send out an email to the client.Alternatively, Airtable would be watching a specified Google Drive directory for creation of new directories, then initiate the process of changing access and pushing the link to Airtable.Any ideas?Rgds,BjörnPS. We use Zapier, so that is a viable option for us. For cost and maintenance reasons I'd like to avoid other 3rd party systems.

Hi,We need to collect longer testimonials (round one A4) from hundreds of clients during a year, process them (re-write and polish before publishing) and have the clients approve the edits.Ideally I would just create fields for this in Airtable (draft -> approve button -> final -> published), but to my understanding Airtable doesn't allow free user to edit anything sent out form the base. And forms are made to be one-to-many, not enabling a form per client to be sent out, non?We use Google Sheets so I somehow vaguely think this should be doable with some creative Sheets integrations, but I can't envision it concretely.Anybody out there who could see this clearly, what would be the elegant and robust way to do it?BjörnPS. We use Zapier also, so that is a viable option. For cost and maintenance reason I'd prefer not to use other third party systems.

Hi. I'm new to airtable, but I have a background as an ERP developer. I'm doing baby steps on my application to see if I can get airtable to help me manage a member-run makerspace. Currently I do it with excel and google forms. Hopefully this is something easy to do with an automation, but I'm very green at present.I have google sheet that gets filled in each time a person fills out a google form, including their photo that is stored as a url to a google doc folder.  When I import the data from this google sheet, I can assign it as a url, but is there a way with an automation to take the URL and add it to the record as an attachment?  The end result is that I want to be able to send out a form to the board members to approve, along with the photo of the applicant, if they submit one. Currently I can do this in google forms, notifying the board via an email, but this is the first step of converting our system to airtable.Thanks in advance.Jeff

Hi, I'm setting up an automation so that a webhook from another app (Instantly) triggers it. Webhook contains 'email', 'label' and other values. The goal is - when LABEL is added, it should create a record or update the existing one.I want to set up the following but so far failed:- After the trigger of adding a label...- If a record with the same 'email' field doesn't exist - create a new record.- If a record with the same 'email' field exists - update the record and its label but DON'T replace the old label - just add the new one in the same field with the old one (multi select)-----I think I managed to set up the updating part (pic below) but I don't know how to prevent overwriting the 'label' field when the record with the same email exists.Any ideas?Thanks! 

I have 2 automations that takes ~2500 new records. The first one clears the link field and links them to their matching records in another table. The second takes all of the ones that failed in the first automation(these failures are due to the imported list having items that dont match up cleanly and need to check another field) and ADDs them to the link field.These work >95% of the time. My issue occurs because so many automations run at the same time and some of these records need to link to the same record in the second table. This causes them to overwrite each other. I would like to find a way to slow this automation down and have it run in chunks or even 1by1 since it doesn't take too long per record. Does anyone have any ideas on how to trickle this automation or break it up into chunks?

Hey guys,I'm totally new to Airtable and just trying to find my way around. I am or was a private Notion user for a long time, but was looking for a DSGVO-safe alternative with end-to-end encryption for a simple database or customer overview. Currently, however, I can not yet implement the idea, which I have in mind. I imagine the following scenario:I have a "customer database" where I can store all customers with name, address and contact details. The respective customers I can assign a "tour", that would be either tour 1,2 or tour 3. Tours because I drive out food and have 3 different tours, on which different customers are waiting for me.It also happens that a customer appears several times a week in the same tour. I would like now that I have created in addition to the "customer database" 3 times the respective tour as a calendar view. In the calendar view I would then like to assign the customers from the customer database to the respective delivery date.

Table A is a list of customers and each item they bought. I have a Table B where every time a new customer is added to Table A the customer name and a few other columns are added to Table B. If a customer buys something but the customer name already exists in Table B then nothing happens. Feel like this should be easy but can't figure it out...
