Builders Board

I am a production coordinator at an LA based production company. I’m looking for an Airtable expert to help us build our database from scratch and to help my team understand how best to utilize Airtable for our needs. We need to be able to keep track of many different production projects that are all in different stages of production, everyone involved in those projects, delivery dates, and extensive contacts lists. Please e-mail me at june.rosen@treefort.fm if this sounds like a project you can help with.

Hi everyone, just wanted to leave my newest video here about the one script that I'm using in all of my Airtable bases: A script to clean up records!Let me know what you think and if it brought value to you 🙂 I'm posting multiple times per week, so subscribe if relevant for you.  

We’ve built an Airtable Tableau (Web Data) Connector. I’ve seen multiple posts in the Airtable / Tableau forums about connecting the two tools, so I thought this might be useful.The main difference between our Connector and others (including Airtable’s own) is that ours supports the full range of many-to-many relationship types, including Multiple Linked Record fields and Multiple Users fields. You can build Tableau reports off of your Airtable data even when your Base contains these many-to-many relationships.Other points of interest:ETL built specifically for Airtable - Our Connector was built from the ground up for Airtable, so its Extract, Transform, Load process prepares Airtable data for immediate consumption in Tableau.Data filtering at the source - It’s super easy to specify which tables and views you export, so you don’t have to waste time filtering out data in each Tableau report you create.100% secure - Because of Tableau’s unique WDC architecture, all of your data flows dir

Hi, I am working on a historical research that deals with a timespan of 500 years. Now I want the timeline and Gantt to display that timespan with subdivisions of 100 / 50/ 10 years. The UI allows me only a max span of 5 years. Any ideas? Thanks, Gerhard 

Hi everyone,I just had a very strange case. I have an automation that has run for days without any problem (9 runs no failure). It's a simple "repeat update" after a "find" to copy a computed field into a link field, in order to ensure the connection. I've done such automations in many circumstances without any difficulty nor any problem.Today one run failed : 3 records out of 6 were updated correctly, others failed with the comment  - Field "Opération" cannot accept the provided value: Cannot modify a computed field. -.I tried to rerun the very same automation ; all 6 succeeded !!! Of course the update was exactly the same for the 2 runs, and each time same content for the 6 records. Thus I have no idea of where to investigate to mend if needed.Did anyone encounter such a problem ? Any clue on what to look at to prevent this from happening again ?Many thanks in advance !

Hey,I need someone to create a script which basically does what the Create child records does but in reverse. So, I need to create a parent record from child records.The workflow would be as follows:We upload child records as CSV or XLSX into AirtableThe child records will have a column with an identifier which indirectly links them togetherBased on this identifier and some other information, we will need to create a parent record and link the child records to it.The scope should be pretty simple. We will also need to move over some more data from the child records, but it will always be the same data in all children, so taking it from one single child is sufficient. The only thing is to loop all children into the same parent creation so we do not create too many parents.If that is something you feel able to do, please reach out to me.

Workshop on the use and possibilities of Airtable - hi I'm Samanta, executive manager at Ajor, a brazilian association focused in enhancing emerging media in Brazil. I'm testing with my team the use of Airtable as a tool for collecting external data (such as audience survey forms and feedback), internal data (program and project dashboards) and data visualization as well. As I'm not up to date with the tool, especially in terms of integration, automations and interfaces, I'm looking for someone VERY experienced in Airtable for a training cycle for the team. Portuguese speakers are preferred, but I might be able to get a translator (EN-PT or Spanish-PT) for the workshops. Contact: samanta.docarmo@ajor.org.br

EDIT: the issue turned out to be caused by Slack - see this postI use Airtable forms for my employees to submit reports in my business. Prefilling those forms with all of the relevant data is amazing as it speeds up the workflow, gives my employees a better user experience, and gives me cleaner data. I send these forms out to my employees in Slack using Make automations.I recently came across an issue with a new form. I was receiving employee submissions that were missing quite a bit of data that should have been prefilled. After a week of pulling my hair out, I finally realized the problem: many of the fields in this form have field names that contain a space character in the name e.g. "Checklist A". My URL prefill formula was using the `+` character to replace the space character e.g. "prefill_Checklist+A=value"In all of my testing on my laptop, the prefill URL's worked perfectly. Problem is, all of my employees are submitting these forms on their phones. 95% of them are on iOS. I fi

I recently added two new scripts to my Automation Helper Scripts, based on recurring situations that I keep seeing in this community.sumTwoNumbers. This script adds two numbers together and outputs the sum. Use this script to increment a number field without using a formula field that just adds one to an existing field.useAlternativeValue. This script inputs a main value and an alternative value. If the main value is not blank, the script outputs the main value. If the main value is blank, the script outputs the alternative value. This script shines when you want to use an alternative value when the result of a "Find Records" action is blank.If you have already purchased my Automation Helper Scripts, you can get these new scripts by logging into your Gumroad account.These Automation Helper Scripts are fairly short. Most are only a handful of lines of code. They are designed for the following types of people.You just want working code and purchasing these helpers is faster and easier th

Hi Community,Does anyone else experience problems with automations? my all current automations started failing around 7PM Berlin time.I getThere was an unexpected error while executing your script.it also doesn't matter from the script content. when rerun, it stays "In progress" and eventually fails.Regards,Nikolai

 

Hello Airtable Community,I am working on a project where I have three tables in Airtable:Trip Table: Contains all possible trips a participant can go on.Participant Table: Includes a multiple linked record field for trips that a participant is signed up for.Trip Junction Table: Holds individual records showing a participant and the single trip they are on.I am facing a challenge with setting up an automation. My goal is to automatically create a record in the "Trip Junction" table when a participant adds another trip to their account.Here's the scenario:When a participant selects a new trip in the "Participant" table, I want a new record to be created in the "Trip Junction" table that links this participant with the newly selected trip.However, I am unsure how to set up this automation, especially how to identify the newly added trip and trigger the creation of a new record in the "Trip Junction" table.Could anyone provide insights or guidance on how to set up this automation? Any tips

Hi everyoneI’m really pleased with this Airtable system I just built for project and team management. and launched in my store on gumroad today.It works by having two interfaces connected to the same base: one for the project managers, one for the team. The manager enters basic employee data, including their contracted hours, and assigns them to projects. Employees can then see the projects to which they’re assigned in their own interface, interact with each other through the chat, log any expenses their projects have accrued, and submit reports. They can also “clock in” and out again, which timestamps their entries and tracks this data with the time assigned by the manager for each project. When a project has multiple people assigned to it, the time assigned for working on the project is divided equally among them (e.g. a 30 hour project assigns 10 hours to each team member to working on that project). The idea is to encourage collaboration and accountability for teams

Hi all,I have written a guide showcasing a quick and easy way to have a chat with a GPT chat bot (Perplexity) about live Airtable data. Check it out!https://www.csvgetter.com/blog/enable-airtable-ai-analysis-with-perplexityLet me know what you think.

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner, but Airtable is a perfect platform if you want to set up a simple message board for a team of people. I built this interface to do just that.You can post messages, reply to conversations and edit your own messages. One automation and a few tweaks to the settings and you can allow users to edit or delete their own messages, but only reply to those posted by others. Conversations are added to an ongoing "log" with each message so you can easily keep up with any discussions.

Hello all,I have 2 different bases one for Employees and one for Equipment.  I have synced the Employee table to the Equipment table to assign Employees to different pieces of equipment linked to the sync data.  I see the new fields in the synced table in the Equipment base, but I don't see the Equipment showing up on the Employee base.How do I get it to sync back to the original base? and show in other tables that based is synced to.Thank you in advance for all your help.

Hello, In my Airtable's "PEOPLE" Table, we stored many people's name records—more than 15,500 records. I aimed to identify those name records whose spelling is the same as any particular person's name. I developed the following scripting codes using the Scripting Extension in Airtable. When I tested it with another table with a small number of name records, less than 10, it worked well. However, when testing the code with a table with many people's names, the script's running was not complete. This issue could be related to the large number of records in the Table. Please note the following regarding my "PEOPLE" Table: 1) Table name: PEOPLE, 2. Primary field name: English Name, and 3. "Duplicate Name" is a checkbox field, which means if a tick is created for any name, that name has more than one record. Please see my scripting codes below://Read our tablevar table = base.getTable('PEOPLE');var query = await table.selectRecordsAsync();//Identify duplicates//loop through all of the
