Hey guys, I have been using Airtable for a few months now and am curious about potential cross overs to another of my favorite tools, Obsidian. Has anyone done any interesting experiments yet? or have any tips for me?

Hi everyone, we’re trying to hire someone to level up our Airtable setup and would love advice from people here who’ve scaled this kind of stack.Our setup today:multiple Airtable bases 500k+ records frequent archival work ~50 daily users integrations with Stacker, Zapier, Make, n8n, Supabase, and PolytomicAt this point, our challenge is less about building fast and more about building a solid architecture that scales and stays maintainable.We’re debating between profiles like:low-code builders backend/systems-minded engineers implementation consultantsFor those who’ve seen this done well, what type of person would you hire? What titles/backgrounds tend to work best? And what mistakes should we avoid?

This is being reposted.Hi Airtable Community,I’m looking for an experienced senior Airtable systems architect to help establish a clean, scalable foundation for an early-stage platform.I’ve begun development but am now looking to bring in someone who can properly structure and execute Phase 1.Phase 1 Objective: Create a functional onboarding and data foundation that supports user signup, access, and future expansion.Phase 1 Scope: • Design a scalable Airtable base structure (users, onboarding, content access)• Build a working signup flow (form → Airtable → email capture)• Integrate with existing landing pages for onboarding and access• Ensure the system is clean, organized, and ready to scaleWhat success looks like: • A fully working signup/onboarding flow• Clean, understandable Airtable structure• Clear path for future expansion without reworkWhat I’m looking for: • Strong systems thinking (architecture, not ju

Looking for an Airtable systems architect who wants to help build something from the ground up—for the right reasons.We’re starting with a limited budget. This isn’t a high-paying contract. It’s an early-stage effort driven by purpose, not profit.We’re a civilizational artifact to be presented as a book  to the global audience, and need help creating the foundational system to introduce it: Airtable connected to a website to support onboarding, access to content, and simple contributions/donations. That’s where it begins.From there, it grows.The vision expands into a virtual/digital platform over time—publishing, participation, community systems, and more. The person who steps in now won’t just be executing tasks—they’ll be helping shape what this becomes as it evolves.  Compensation will evolve over time as the project evolves.We’re looking for someone who:• Is comfortable working initially with limited funds.• Believes in contributing

We are seeking a consultant to assist in designing and implementing a unified system to manage household repair construction program workflows from intake to project closeout, contractor engagement, and compliance reporting across multiple funding sources. This opportunity will require experience in Multi-team workflow design.

Hi everyone! I'm Vaibhav — I run a small no-code agency and I've been building Airtable systems for 4+ years, mostly for US-based startups, founders, and operations-heavy businesses.My Upwork profile has the full picture (97% Job Success, Top Rated, 43 completed projects) but the short version is: I help people turn messy spreadsheets and manual processes into clean, automated systems they actually enjoy using.What I work on most:Airtable base design — CRMs, operations databases, inventory systems, hiring pipelines Automations via Make.com, Zapier, and native Airtable Airtable + Softr combos — client portals, internal dashboards, role-based access tools Integrations with Stripe, QuickBooks, Google Workspace, Slack, DocuSign, and more Interface Designer — building views that real users (not just admins) actually want to openA few recent things I've built: a courier tip automation system connec

Hello,I've built and optimized an AI Slack bot for quick AI actions. It's built on top of my existing powersync architecture - which allows to connect Airtable and Slack.I think there's an advantage in a narrow AI like this over generic AI agent with access to Airtable via MCP.A generic AI agent utilizes the MCP to fetch more context. It might load the schema, or extra information from Slack and then start performing actions.This AI bot has context carefully prepared ahead of time. That means it can act quicker - there's no need to rely on reasoning (which slows things down) and also it doesn't require a large model, it can get a way with smaller but more performant one.The overall promise of such AI bot is to act quickly in Slack when needed - add tasks, manage activities, add contacts, log standup records.The admin UI allows to define a precise

Hey there Builders! 👋I just dropped a toolkit so you can vibe code your ❤️ out with Airtable's Custom Interfaces. It’s made building custom interfaces unbelievably faster for me.Custom Interfaces let you build dashboards, forms, charts, and interactive tools that live right inside your base. They're incredibly powerful, but they require React code. Though with the help of Claude and this toolkit, this isn't really a problem anymore for my non devs. Vibe code away! 🚀The toolkit has two parts:1. An SKILL.MD file that teaches Claude (or any coding assistant) how to code with entire Interface Extensions: reading data, writing data, custom properties, every field type, dark mode, Tailwind setup, and common mistakes to avoid. Upload it to Claude Projects and you can descri

Hello to all Airtable fans!I am making a game on Airtable. It's a football manager or a football club simulator. When I started the development, I set a condition for myself - the game will be played using only the built-in functionality of Airtable - data, forms, interfaces, automations, scripts. No external integrations that take the game's logic outside. Developing this game for me is primarily about exploring the limits of Airtable's capabilities.The gameplay is quite primitive for now - you can buy/sell players, conduct training, send a team to a game, match generation, stadium expansion.I am now recruiting players for the first test season.Registration requires an Airtable account (I will share interfaces). A love for football or football managers as a game genre will be a plus)))For communication, we will use Slack.Follow the link for registration:

I’d love to see an integration or extension for Airtable that enables automated image generation using data from records. Many teams—especially in marketing, eCommerce, and sales—often need to create social media posts, banners, product visuals, or branded creatives. Doing this manually is time-consuming, especially when the content changes frequently.Use Case Examples: Marketing Teams – Automatically generate social media graphics or ad creatives based on campaign details in Airtable. E-commerce Businesses – Create product banners that update dynamically with new prices, SKUs, or images from Airtable records. Sales Teams – Generate personalized outreach banners using client-specific fields (like name, company, or offer). HR & Internal Comms – Design recruitment creatives, event posters, or announcemen

Hi everyone! I’m currently looking for my next long-term role as an Airtable Specialist / Operations Manager.I have extensive experience working with American startups and firms, focusing on: Custom Scripting: Writing internal code to solve complex business logic. Airtable AI: Implementing native AI to supercharge manual workflows. Advanced Automations: Building seamless syncs between Airtable and the rest of the tech stack. I’m a big believer in "building it right the first time" so it doesn't break when you scale. I’m looking for a team that values efficiency and high-quality data architecture.If you’re hiring or need someone to own your Airtable systems, let’s chat! Reach me at dgpb27@gmail.com or sen

Hey community!!From March 1 to March 17 builders from all over the world have been really pushing Airtable to it’s limits working on their submissions for the Airtable Community Led Hackathon!I was absolutely impressed to see stuff built that I had absolutely no clue Airtable was capable of doing (I really mean it. In fact I submitted a small demo of my own as well, with features I did not know existed).If you want to get your mind blow away, make sure to take a look at the different submissions for this year’s edition (Theme: Let’s Play). Also, make sure to like those videos you enjoy the most, as the most liked YouTube video will be winning the Baefulencer award!!!!!!Mike, 

Hello! I’m looking for my next opportunity (Full-time/Part-time/Contract). I specialize in high-level Airtable development with a heavy focus on Automation and AI.My Experience Includes: Working with US companies to automate core business processes. Coding custom scripts within Airtable to handle complex logic and API integrations. Airtable’s latest AI features to summarize data and automate decision-making. I’m used to fast-paced environments and high-level requirements. If you need a robust system that runs itself, I can help you build it.

Hi!I've been building a platform called powersync that aims to provide easy-to-setup real-time functionality on top of Airtable. Besides an existing `schema changelog` engine that allows to track changes to fields and tables in an airtable base, the platform now also offers these bi-directional airtable record -> slack message flows.On the powersync side you select a base, table and a condition for sending messages to slack. But as opposed to native integration, the Slack message also updates if the Airtable record updates. And there's an option setup editable fields and custom flows on emoji reactions.I'd like to do more in this area, perhaps a configurable AI chatbot to do CRUD operations directly from Slack. Or sync of all slack messages back to Airtable.The overall goal here is to empower users where they already are (Slack) and allow them to do quick a

Did you know Airtable custom interfaces could generate SOUND 🎸🎸🎸?For sure, I didn’t. In fact, when thinking about what to build for the AT Community-Led Hackathon, I tried to find something that would really take Airtable to its limits.Something that shouldn’t be possible (and I could always go back to basics for my final submission). And… that’s how I came up with this version of Howie’s Rock Show. Think Guitar Hero, but running in Airtable.First Omni prompt:Create three buttons, assign different sounds to each. They should reproduce their sound when clicked.That actually worked (in one shot)!!!!So… I went all in. Great db architecture makes this so much fun: I created a Songs table, a Song Notes table (my Airtable version of the score/sheet music), and a Plays table.The Songs table includ

I have been testing out the recent Display names for linked records feature and realized that there is a flaw in the design although Support confirmed that it was working as intended. What I’m seeing:The linked record picker correctly shows the configured display name.The linked table’s Primary Field is populated for all records.Visibility conditions evaluate correctly at runtime.However, when configuring Visibility Conditions on forms or record detail layouts, the selected linked record values appear as “Unnamed” in the configuration UI. Yo

Ever since Airtable changed their Attachment URL expiry window to 2 hours, I had to setup automations using Make to upload files to S3.This worked great, but I recently build a custom extension to get this to work without using Make.So, I started building an Airtable extension to bridge this gap. The goal is to keep it all inside the Airtable UI (see the screenshot of what I have so far): You select your attachment field. The extension mirrors the file to a permanent bucket in the background. It writes the non-expiring CDN URL back to a field of your choice.

I tested out Superagent today and this is what it created as a Super Report based on the prompt below. https://superagent.com/website/f383953b-b7e7-40c9-b247-6db19cd35539_stored_entitiesVery Cool! The interactive graphics are interesting.  Prompt: I'm interested in creating a skateboarding video series on YouTube. I've gotten pretty good at mini-ramp combos and I want to make a series where I complete a difficult trick and add graphic overlays that match the styles of popular video games. Then the audience can guess which game the style is from to create engagement. I'm interested in research about creators who make similar content. What can I bring to to the table to make this creative unique? 

I faced this problem as we had to track daily metrics for each employee, which ended up generating dozens of records a day.  This became a problem pretty quickly for obvious reasonsAs a workaround, I ended up setting up a system to archive the old data while leaving the original base alone, and the steps are pretty much:Create a new base for archiving purposes Create a synced view and sync it to the new base In the sync settings, toggle on ‘Leave records when they are deleted or hidden in the source’ Create a heartbeat in the destination base This is important as syncs only happen on bases that have activity on them Set up an automation in the main base to delete the old records---1. Create a new base for archiving purposesI’m pretty sure everyone knows how to do this one, so I’m just going to skip it heh 2. Create a synced v

Hi everyone! I’ve been testing out Superagent to see how it can streamline our operations at Nicat, and the results are game-changing.The Use Case: As a co-founder, I often need to synthesize data from multiple tables—linking project milestones, resource allocation, and budget burn rates. Traditionally, this required complex rollups or manual formula building. I wanted to see if Superagent could act as a "Virtual COO" to give me instant health reports.The Prompt I used:"Analyze the 'Project Milestones' and 'Budget' tables. Identify any projects that are currently over 70% through their timeline but have utilized less than 30% of their allocated budget. Provide a summary of potential bottlenecks and suggest an updated resource allocation plan to ensure we hit our Q1 targets."The Result: Superagent didn't just pull the numbers; it identifie
