Hello,So I am trying to make a column where if a user updates their date of birth it will change their date of birth in a different table. The issue I am running into is that when I change the date of birth for any user it just changes the date of birth of the first person's date of birth in the second table.How do I make it so that if a user puts in their date of birth it will change onto the other table on the line specific to where their name is?
Hi, I would like to add a pop-up for one of my automations. It's triggered by button. Automation creates a record based on input from different table. I'd like to be able to have a communicate lik "created successfully" or "creation failed". Is there a way to do it?

Hello everyone,I'm currently working on an automation project where I'm facing a challenge with embedding images into a Google Slides presentation. I am using Make to lift the images from airtable and replace the placeholders in Google Slides template. I am able to pull in all the text information but have hit a roadblock with the image embedding part.Here is the issue:* I have a Google Slides presentation with placeholders for images.* My Integromat scenario successfully retrieves image URLs from an Airtable base.* The URLs are accessible and lead to a download option for a `.png` image when opened in a browser.* However, these images are not being uploaded or embedded into the Google Slides presentation.Sharing a screenshot of my Make scenario.This is the templateAnd here is the settings of Upload Image module The url that I obtain from the previous module looks like thisIt seems the URLs might not be in a format that Google Slides can embed directly, possibly because they initi
Dear Airtable community,I'm working on an automated email sendout where I would like to let the recipient know which order and delivery dates will be applicable within a holiday week. To make it as easy as possible for the reader, I basically joined one big text field based on the data input, for example "order will be placed on 28-12-2023 for 02-01-2024". Now, I'm looking for a way to aggregate my output - kind of like a pivot before showing all fields. Data format:CityRecipientTextBerlinBerlin1order will be placed on 28-12-2023 for 02-01-2024BerlinBerlin2order will be placed on 28-12-2023 for 02-01-2024HamburgHamburg1order will be placed on 29-12-2023 for 02-01-2024FrankfurtFrankfurt1order will be placed on 28-12-2023 for 03-01-2024How can I aggregate the information so my vendor only receives the following information:CityTextBerlinorder will be placed on 28-12-2023 for 02-01-2024Hamburgorder will be placed on 29-12-2023 for 02-01-2024Frankfurtorder will be placed on 28-12-2023
Hi all, I love the AT community and can often find solutions within articles but can't seem to find anything that helps solve my current situation:I have a multiple-user assignee column and often people from lots of different teams get pulled into one task. We also have a multi-select team column showing which teams are directly involved with the task. I currently have automations set up to add the relevant team into the team column when any of the team members are added to the assignee field. But as conditional automations only run until one condition is satisfied and then stop without making updates for any other satisfied conditions, I have had to create a new automation for each team, to ensure it updates for every assignee. I am currently trying to write a script to combine all of these automations; I have coded the part to input the table and source (assignee) and destination (team) fields, but am stuck as to how to define each team and the relevant team members and then get
My automation exceeded the run limit 2500 in just a few hours because I don't know how to control it! Can someone help me?
Hello, I created 2 automations in Airtable: 1- to calculate the distance between two points using the Haversine formula and: 2- for reverse geocoding to convert latitude and longitude into an address. Unfortunately, I'm getting an unexpected result when I execute a new data record; it updates results with numerous rows! Does anyone know how to control this?
I would like to know when a repeating group in Automations is finished. I try to use a number field and update it incrementally but the formula does not seem to work in Automation. Is there any other way?
hi all, i have a parent table that is copying data to a child table on a condition. I've written the script and I can handle all the data types except I'm having trouble with the linked field. I have a User table linked to both tables. I keep getting this error: id has incorrect objectId prefix "sel", expecting one of ["rec"]the linked field I'm copying returns this object:{id: "seleCE7wF1kaofYBd", name: "Lucas", color: "cyanLight2"}but the actual record id of "Lucas" on the user table returns "rec6TmmKCTEiSp3BA".How can I fix this?
Fetch request is built like this, including these headers: But it returns a CORS error — the webhook isn’t returning Access Control Allow Headers… Oddly enough I can get it to work from Postman: And if I follow the proxy outlined here it works as well. Is there a way to make the webhook return that header? Or another solution? Thanks!
Hello everyone, we created the following script yesterday, which is running and working, but we are facing the 30second timeout issue every time. Is there a way to make this script run smoother or more efficient, or what could be a solution to loop the automation? // Fetch records from TABLE1let table1 = base.getTable('Supplier summary');let result1 = await table1.selectRecordsAsync();// Fetch records from TABLE2let table2 = base.getTable('ERP_suppliers_hub');let result2 = await table2.selectRecordsAsync();// Loop through TABLE2 recordsfor (let record2 of result2.records) { let SupplierId = record2.getCellValueAsString('supplier_id'); let key = record2.getCellValueAsString('supplier_id_key_formula'); // Check if the key

Hello! I'm trying to use automations to link a comma-separated string of names to a separate table.I have to pass the name from Table A, to a column titled "Parse Match" (because names in A do not match record titles in B) in Table B, then link them back in Table A.This was easy to do via automations for the "Lead Sponsor" column, because there's only one name to link.But I'm stuck figuring out how to link a string of comma-separated last names in table A, column "Co-Sponsors" to the "Parse Match" column in Table B, then back to Table A.Any suggestions? If this requires a script to separate the comma-separated values per record, that's beyond my abilities right now… 😛Table ATable B
Hey there Y'all - I am trying to have Airtable automatically duplicate a record in the SAME table when the status of another record is "approved". The duplicate record would have all the same information except the status would be set to "editing" and the type would be set to"IG Reel". How can I make this happen automatically? THANKS
Hi there 🙂 Im have what is seems to me fairly complicated automation which I did not manage to complete, and would appreciate your suggestions.I have three tables, all linking to each other; Database, Price, and Partners.Database table can be linked to multiple Price and Partners records, but Price and Partner can be linked to only one Database record.I want to create an automation that duplicates all records from Price table linking to Database table, and then link the duplicated records to Partners table. The result will be having Database and Partners table linking to identical, but not the same records in Price table.The automation trigger is single select field in Partners table, set to Create.Thank you 🙂

Hi fellow Airtable community,I'm having some trouble with an "Airtable > Send Email" automation, specifically in displaying the right time in the dynamic fields populated via the email. I'm using Airtable's brand version of the software and I'm using the new grid of records function (see photos attached). Basically, what I want to be displayed in the data is what is actually in the view (however, the time displayed in the email is about 5 hours off, contrary to the data that is in the view). My guess is because, this is a time zone thing but I don't know how to fix this in the "grid of records" function being used. As this is a dynamic field within airtable's software, I don't know if I can even troubleshoot this issue. Any helpful tips and tricks would be much appreciated.
Hello!I have a client that needs to take a list of passwords and assign the next one off the list to each new record as it is added to Airtable via Zapier. Each new record would get the next password from the list (well, column, really).New User 1 | Password 1New User 2 | Password 2New User 3 | Password 3If I'm not mistaken, I cannot simply prefill that column in my table, leaving the other columns blank, because new records would just be created as a new row below the final password row, ignoring that the other columns are blank. Is what I'm trying to accomplish possible? Thanks for the help!- Phil
Hi all - I feel like I'm overthinking this but hoping you can help. I have a table with some products and a field with a list of variants. I'm using Zapier to loop through the list and create separate records in another table with the product information and variant selected. What I can't figure out is how to delete (or change the record status to deleted) if I remove a variant from the list. Hope you guys have some thoughts.
Has there been a feature wherein you can filter records that are related to me? Example, I have a field called Created by Now I want to share a view that is created by Me alone I don’t want to create 400+ views just to provide everyone their own I only want 1 view that I can share to everyone but it only filters the record they have created Providing access to the base and telling everyone to create their own personal view is NOT the one I need I cannot share the record of Person-A with Person-B any chance to do this?
Hello all, I have a tenant directory showcasing all units and properties. I have 2 locations with the same unit # but different buildings. I've created a separate column to distinguish the buildings and their identical units. Here's an example:Building #1Building #2As you can see, both buildings have the same unit numbering, the only thing separating them are the buildings. I have an automation to find the respective record, and place that record to the corresponding property - however when it's entered - it keeps going to address "54321 N Ave" unit 201 record instead of the "1234 N Ave" unit 201's record. Here's my automation:My Tenant Onboarding table: Align 'Building Four' with the address '54321 N Ave,' and if 'Building 1' is chosen with the identical unit number as Building 4, it should correspond to '1234 N Ave.'Briefly, I have two buildings sharing the same unit number, and I want the unit number to be correctly associated with its respective building. However, when I
Hi. I find it helps to think of this as similar to updating the number of available stock-items after an order. 😊I have a 'claims' table where each record is a tutor claim - per student. Each claim contains a 'number of hours claimed' field. I then have an update record automation which passes that value to a 'hours last session' field in my 'student' table.Now, in my 'student' table I need a new automation to run each time my 'hours last session' field is updated, to take that value and add it to a 'total hours used' field, Essentially, a running total.It seems simple but I just can't seem to find a way of doing this!Any help would be very much appreciated! Thank you.
