Builders Board

 I need many subscriptions for my operations, and I need to collect the invoices every monthSo I have accurate reporting, and for my accountant of course.So I built this system to solve my own problem - hope it’s useful to others too! Download link to all material used is in the video description.

I just tried the new “improved Home Screen”This time, the UX team reached a new level of make things worse. 1. Why do you need this column on the left with so much dead space just for Home Buton, a Help shortcut, Notifications and your profile??? Really Why?Colors tables dont respond to the color base...it is just a light hue of the color you choose. Horrible at least.   What is the point of moving  the toolbar on the right? what’s wrong with the previous one? Icons, graphics, looks sharper and cleani have to say and create a visually pleasant experience. But Honestly, moving things just for the sake of refreshing the UI< is ridiculous.

TL;DR:I’m a non-technical cartoonist who built a fully chat-controlled editorial system using Airtable’s API and OpenAI Actions (via ChatGPT Teams). I can manage my entire cartoon workflow—images, captions, submissions, rights, and tagging—just by talking to it. No middleware, no third-party tools. It handles flexible inputs, reads image fields, and edits any table or field naturally. Happy to share details if anyone’s doing something similar.Why I built it:I draw single-panel, black-and-white gag cartoons (like what you’d find in The New Yorker). I needed a way to track and submit work, manage captions, analyze themes, and stay organized across multiple stages of a cartoon’s life. I had no editor or agent—so I built one.What it does:Reads and analyzes cartoon images alongside their captions Tags tone, subjectivity, and humor style Edits any field across multiple linked tables (submissions, rights, cooldowns, etc.) Works from vague or partial prompts like: “Update BalloonBomb’s caption

 Hello Airtable Team, I hope you’re doing well. I’m currently building a patient management system using Airtable and I need to implement the following key features: A public form where patients can submit a medicine request (already handled via Airtable Forms). Automatic generation of a username and password after form submission if an email is provided. An automatic email sent to the patient with their login credentials. A secure way for patients to log in and view the status of their request via a dashboard. Role-based access for a committee and union member to review, approve, or reject the requests. A system to prevent duplicate submissions based on national ID and phone number. A “Forgot Password” feature to allow patients to recover their login access.  I understand that Airtable is excellent for data collection and collaboration, but currently lacks native functionality for: User logins Status dashboards for external users (with restricted access) Automated workflows like accou

I would like to request the ability to add custom vertical lines or markers at user-defined intervals in Timeline view.Use case:In Agile project management, we organize work into sprints (usually every 2 weeks). It would be extremely helpful to visually separate these periods in Timeline view by adding vertical lines or markers at custom intervals (e.g., every 2 weeks, starting from a date I specify). This would make it easier to plan, track progress, and communicate timelines to my team.

We’ve been using Airtable as a backend for lightweight apps — like a project dashboard for clients, or a form submission portal that touches multiple tables.Interfaces help a bit, but they don’t quite support login, user-based permissions, or multi-table forms. We ended up building a role-aware portal layer that connects to Airtable and lets users view, edit, or create records based on their role — it’s now ClientlyBase, but it started as a personal workaround. Just curious if others here are building similar “mini apps” on Airtable. What tools are you using — Interfaces, Softr, Glide, or something else?

It’s all in the title. Horrible design choice.

TL;DR version: Airtable’s recently added capability to limit linked-record selection to a specific view allows users to incorporate, to a degree, conditional logic. The specifics: ‘Conditional logic’ can mean a lot of things: Any use of an IF() or SWITCH() statement is a form of conditional logic. Here, I’m using it in what’s become an increasingly common manner: to mean the limiting of available options based on an earlier choice. For example, take a look at the following diagram. The user selects one of five categories. Based on that selection, he or she is allowed to choose from a subset of five subcategories, taken from an overall population of 25 subcategories. This conditional restriction of choices not only helps reduce a potentially unwieldy array of options to a smaller, more manageable group, it also helps ensure the subcategory chosen is appropriate given the category already selected. Admittedly, a 25-element list may not present an insurmountable challenge to the user — e

Hey everyone! We recently shipped two features for BaseQL that I’m really excited about.For those that don’t know, BaseQL provides a GraphQL API for Airtable that makes it easier to build custom apps with your Airtable data.These new features came directly from user feedback about workflow pain points.TL;DR: You can now query Airtable views directly and have full control over filtering/sorting related records in a single API call.Querying Airtable ViewsBaseQL now supports querying specific Airtable views using the new _view argument. This feature leverages Airtable’s powerful ability to create custom views with specific sorting, filtering, and grouping configurations.Why this mattersMany BaseQL users were manually implementing sorting through rank columns or creating complex filter combinations to match what they had already configured in Airtable views. Now, you can simply:Configure your data organization visually in Airtable using drag-and-drop Query that exact configuration with a s

Just returned from Asia's largest Apple ecosystem expo where we showcased AirKit for Airtable. What an amazing experience connecting with so many passionate Airtable users across Asia! The energy was incredible as visitors from China, Korea and beyond stopped by our booth. We were genuinely surprised by how many people are using Airtable for everything from personal projects to enterprise solutions.  Many users shared their frustrations with the slowness and navigation complexity. It was validating to demonstrate how our AirKit app solves these exact pain points by enabling quick record additions and table access through Siri commands and Spotlight search. The conversations were enlightening - we learned so much about how people are using Airtable in different contexts and cultures. Several visitors even showed us their unique Airtable setups! I've created this vlog to share highlights from our experience. If you're an Airtable user struggling with the mobile experience, check out our

The Long Text field in Airtable is currently way too small. It was previously possible to expand the size of the long text field to make it easier to read…. long text….I wish that they would bring back the option to resize this field so that it wasn’t such a pain to use. If resizing isn’t possible to bring back, then I wish that they would either:1) Expand the default size significantly;2) Allow users to make the long text field full screen; or3) Make the Long Text input box responsive so that it increases and decreases in size based on the amount of long text that is in the field.This would prevent users from having to constantly scroll to see long text in the long text field. We don’t need this to be as feature friendly as a full scale text editor (although that would also be great), but it should at least allow you to easily see the long text that is in this field without having to scroll for hours. It’s a huge pain to use for long text in its current form. So much wasted space!!! 

Hi,UMI FUND are looking for some short term support to improve the functionality of our CRM on AT. We’ve set much of it up and been using it for over a year but have some needs to polish the processes and production of analysis so it works better for us. We don’t have a huge number of contacts / records so don’t foresee it taking a long time. Would broadly encompass the following:Review of current use / needs by staff using AT, and those that could (e.g Finance/Ops, Programmes, Leadership etc) Suggestions and implementation of improvements to process, donor journey through AT. Improvement to production of dashboard / analytics (FR reporting, Board reporting, Projections etc) from data input on AT. Recommendations on how UMI could further optimise usage of AT- specifically in relation to donor intelligence gathering, prospecting, and donor stewardship.Pease respond below with availability, rates and time estimate and I’ll get back to you.ThanksTom

Using chatGPT in an Airtable automation. In my use case, the automation triggers on when an Airtable record matches conditions,then follows with 2 actions, run script and update record. Adjust the first part of the promptwith your own use case. Tip: Use chatGPT to help you write a prompt for chatGPT (!) let inputConfig = input.config(); text = `${inputConfig.text}`; var key = "openai-api-key"; var url = "https://api.openai.com/v1/completions"; prompt = "Reword this text to grade 9 reading level: " + text; var gpt = { model : "text-davinci-003", prompt : prompt, temperature : 0, max_tokens : 1024 }; response = await fetch(url, { method: 'POST', body: JSON.stringify(gpt), headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + key, } }); answer= await response.json(); data=answer.choices[0].text; output.set('your-airtable-field',data);

Hi everyone,  I am a Music Supervisor (syncing songs for video games, movies ads…). I am currently using the Microsoft Suite and Google Suite for my business but I am now looking for a tool that can do it all in one platform. Airtable seems to answer many of my user cases and so I am now looking for an Airtable Expert that could set up the templates and automations for me, so I can then populate the templates with my own data. Ideally this person would be UK or Europe based. I would ideally like to work from Airtable’s free plan but can also consider subscribing to the Team tier.  I would need Airtable for 3 main user cases:  1/ CRM:I have different databases of contacts:  one with labels, sync companies, publishers etc, that I reach out to when I'm looking for new music/artists to sync in a project. There are a lot of filters in this database, because when I get a brief for a new project, I need to be able to choose from the territories, music genres etc   The other database are pote

A custom script that helps you integrate Airtable with the OpenAI API without using any 3rd party tools like Zapier or Make - possible even with the free Airtable account. Just copy-paste the "script" and start getting responses from gpt-4/3.5, immediately.What can you do with the “script”?You can bring the power of OpenAI language models (GPT-4 and GPT-3.5) to your Airtable base and utilize them to create content for 1000s of rows at once.For example:Generate product descriptions based on several data pointsCreate personalized emails for 1000s of guests based on available dataDo programmatic SEO by creating super-optimized AI contentGenerate content for anything and everything that follows a patternLearn more about the script here: https://invertedstone.com/store/airtable-to-openai-api/

I know a lot of you including myself on the forums wish there was a way to attach dropbox image links so you can maintain your digital assets locally such as this post: Choose Dropbox or Google Drive for attachment storage Product Suggestions I would love for my attachments to get sued in my Dropbox. This would allow me to use Airtable as a digital asset manager Or even renaming uploaded files (in bulk though) Rename Uploaded Files Product Suggestions I think it would be great to be able to update the names of files once they’re uploaded; this is especially needed when linking images or files from online instead of uploading since you have no control on the naming structure for those external files. I’ve recently found that searching a base includes what’s in the filename and this is becoming problematic since I often link to images on the web that have a lot of text in the filename that I would prefer not to be there. I th

Hey community !We just redesigned and relaunched Data Fetcher, and I wanted to share it for anyone who might find it useful. What is Data Fetcher? It’s a no-code Airtable extension that pulls data from APIs directly into your bases. Think of it as connecting Airtable to your external data sources without the complexity of coding or leaving Airtable. Why we built it: We kept hitting the same wall: Airtable is great for organizing data, but getting external data in (and keeping it updated) was always a hassle. What it does:Import from any REST/GraphQL API Schedule automatic updates (up to every 5 minutes) Chain requests together into sequences for complex workflows Handle authentication & pagination Transform data as it’s importedReal example: One of our customers, Fox Logistics, increased their shipment processing from 1,800 to 2,500 per week after connecting their external systems with Airtable through Data Fetcher - all without adding headcount.We’ve put together a list of pre-bui

My client just spent 5 minutes raving about how a small fix genuinely improved the quality of life for their staff. So thought to share.They run a medical services biz. For managing charts, appointments, etc., they use "Jane," which is super HIPAA compliant (so no API, of course). For the extra workflows Jane can't do, they export PHI-stripped data to Airtable weekly and also use Asana for patient-specific tasks.The problem? Practitioners in Jane needing to see Asana tasks for a patient had this annoying little dance: copy PatientUID from Jane URL, tab over to Asana, paste, search, pray. Took barely a minute, sure, but multiply that by X times a day... and it becomes a real point of friction in their workflow!So, I figured there had to be a no-code way. Whipped up a super basic Chrome extension using Windsurf (one of those AI builder things – I wanted to explore these AI builders anyway, so good excuse!).It's not going to win any innovation awards, and it's definitely not a unicorn Saa

We have a lot of information to view when we click on a record to view its details. I find myself scrolling up and down a lot looking for the exact group I need. It would be very helpful if there was a way to easily jump to a group in the interface. Or at the very least, make the groups collapsible so they’re easier to view and expand.What do you think? Would you find this helpful?

Hello, I am a dog trainer who does  in home private sessions (sold in packages of 3,5, 7 and 9 sessions).I am looking for a way to keep track of where I am with each client (how many lessons have they used/ how many lessons are left?). I also need a way to keep track if I have sent a follow up email after each sessions. I got the idea of Airtable after ChatGPT gave me an example of this base, but alas, the AI cannot create said base. I also need a real person I can tweak things with. I tried to do it myself, I get frustrated not being familiar with AirTable.  I will provide more specifics, but this is pretty much it. 

I’ve used Airtable to run a couple RPG games and it’s really great. Being able to have a view for my players to look at where I can post images of NPCs or notes is terrific. Here’s how I created the base (this is a Forbidden lands game). And here’s what players can see. It’s challenging to create hidden views that actually show the information I want to share. Hopefully someday there is another step for linked records that allow for a cleaner format.
