hi everyone. Is anyone have tried to use chatbot to retrieve a specific record in airtable based on condition?my use case is to check current points using ID number. Chatbot will ask the ID Number and chatbot will check in Airtable to find that specific ID and return its current points.Not sure if i can do it just using API or I need a third party platform to do this.Thanks!

I created .NET Client for Airtable.The client record download only.GitHub https://github.com/reniris/AirtableDownloadNuget https://www.nuget.org/packages/AirtableDownload/feedback or pull requests are welcome.

... it's because I'm walking away.I have honestly and with open-mindedness tried to use the new "community" in a productive and supportive manner, but it's just not working for me. There's something about this new Khoros platform that makes it difficult to engage and produce responses at a quick pace with smartly formatted information.The hallmark of a great community is pervasive and free-flowing conversation, but to have that, it needs to eliminate composition friction. This is not the case in the new and improved Airtable community. Rapidly responding to questions requires a lot of effort. Pasting images used to be a breeze. Rapidly composing with your silent but powerful Markdown friend was a pleasure.Composition simplicity is achieved through a minimalistic design. Khoros tries to be cool and hip at the expense of function and flow. Discourse has studied the art of simplistic content composition. Why Airtable rejected it, is a mystery.

In our Facebook group, we provide a list of restaurants that close in the off-season along with their locations and closing dates. We're in the process of updating the list with the restaurants' re-opening dates. We used to go through the onerous task of adding a graphic using Google sites so that when we posted the link in a comment, it looked like the graphic instead of this:Is there a better way to EASILY add a graphic or at least change the text to remove this generic AirTable wording to say like Restaurant Reopening Dates?Thank you  

This extension will help you find unused select dropdown data (from either single select or multiple select fields) and delete them!Base with extension installedTo use it, install the "Script Extension" and paste the code below into it, and a video of how to do that is below Code:let settings = input.config({ title: `Identify and remove select field options that are not in use`, items: [ input.config.table("table", { label: `Table` }), input.config.field("field", { parentTable: `table`, label: `Field` }), ], }); let { table, field } = settings; let fieldData = table.getField(field.id) let fieldType = fieldData.type if(fieldType != "si

Dear Community:I'm currently running a communitys survey with a giftcard drawing. I've noticed some suspicious responses come in (emails with formats NAMENAME #####), non-standard/nonsensical answers to fillable responses. Some are also in other languages, which is not a flag in and of itself since we are a multi-lingual community.One section is for busiensses and requires a business address - folks who don't give me one in the area geography (in town) are disqualified. I hadn't required this for general population as I don't want to discourage respondents, but since I can't use CAPTCHA I'm currently thinking my best solution is to require an address, state its necessary for data validation, and disclose that my org won't use or share this info?Any advice on best practices, ways to accurately clean my data, or other methods to ensure valid responses and not a flood of randos just wanting a gift card? Thanks!

I use Airtable for budgeting, because I'm that guy who finds a few little things that I don't like about every piece of software I use, and would rather be in control of how something as important as my budgeting system works... even if it means working within the constraints of something like Airtable :smirk:In any case, one of the things I was missing from good budgeting software, when I switched to using Airtable, was monthly tracking charts. But something that I like to do, and which isn't supported by many other budgeting softwares is annual tracking charts. For our family, tracking something like a "Clothing" budget doesn't really make sense to do on a monthly basis -- there are some months we don't buy any clothes, and some months when we buy ALL THE clothes. Using the monthly "sinking fund" style of budget for this made it difficult for me to determine how well we were doing at actually keeping to the budget. Much easier to do within th

A few days ago, I tried to help another Airtable enthusiast concerning a question about timelines. According to this community platform, I have written about  3250 posts since 2018, and despite my grandfatherly age, I recall one such post about Vega-Lite that would be perfect to help this customer.When a search engine believes you've made a mistake crafting your query, such as a misspelling, it tries to help. In this case, it demonstrates a significant degree of cluelessness.Did you mean: negative-lite ... Seriously? And what will this brilliant discovery engine tell me about "negative-lite"? Feel free to dive into that rabbit hole. We need to press on with a point to this post.Looking through all 42 pages of results did not contain the post I was looking for, but it did give me a few laughs like this one. It's entirely ir

Building out a social media calendar where one of the fields indicates the Copy that will be going in a post. Was hoping to create a separate formula field that automatically searched the Copy field for any hashtags and listed them there. Support’s initial response sent me the formula below as a start, but it only pulls in the first # within the copy section. Wasn’t sure if anyone had any ideas/suggestions on how to expand it to pull/list all of them. Thanks in advance! IF( FIND(" “,{Notes},FIND(”#",{Notes})), MID({Notes},FIND("#",{Notes}),FIND(" “,{Notes},FIND(”#",{Notes}))-FIND("#",{Notes})), RIGHT({Notes}, LEN({Notes})-FIND("#",{Notes})+1) )

After importing data, it’s not uncommon to want to clean up and normalize data values, especially text fields that may have all types of inconsistencies. Unfortunately, Airtable doesn’t support in-place transformations where formulas can be applied to modify the field contents of all cells. This is where the Field Tweaker script block can help. It supports in-place text transformations including upper case, lower case, and title case modifications across all records for select fields. The script is published below and this base provides a simple sales table to experiment with and also includes the script block. When you run Field Tweaker, you define a changeset which includes the table name and the field name you want to tweak, and lastly - the tweak you want to apply which in this example script block includes: Upper Case (LIKE THIS) Lower Case (like th

I thought this might be useful for others, as I had to figure out how to do it for myself to automate sending emails during the right timezone for the recipient; here’s a list of all the timezones for US states: IF(OR({State}="CA", {State}="WA", {State}="OR", {State}="NV"), "PST", IF(OR({State}="MT", {State}="ID", {State}="WY", {State}="SD", {State}="UT", {State}="CO", {State}="AZ", {State}="NM"), "MST", IF(OR({State}="ND", {State}="MN", {State}="WI", {State}="IA", {State}="NE", {State}="IL", {State}="KS", {State}="MO", {State}="OK", {State}="AR", {State}="TN", {State}="TX", {State}="LA", {State}="MS", {State}="AL"), "CST", IF(OR({State}="MI", {State}="IN", {State}="OH", {State}="ME", {State}="VT", {State}="NY", {State}="NH", {State}="MA", {State}="CT", {State}="RI", {State}="PA", {State}="NJ", {State}="MD", {State}="DE", {State}="WV", {State}="KY", {State}="VA", {State}="NC", {State}="SC", {State}="GA", {State}="FL", {State}="DC"), "EST", IF({State}="AK", "AST", IF({

At Uptown Stories, we provide workshops in the arts to underprivileged children and families around Manhattan. We use AT to record and track registration data, donation and donor info, grant applications, and job/intern applicants. We've built a foundation on our own, but now I'm looking for the right person to help us streamline, sync, and scale our bases. Essentially, looking for someone equal parts Developer and Architect/Advisor for a 2-4 month initial contract with the option to retain as an advisor at the offset. Compensation will have to be commensurate with experience and compatibility. We're a nonprofit so funds are always tight, but we want to invest in this development and will gladly pay the right person to partner with us on this project.If this sounds right for you shoot me an email:

Our non-profit has a database that is in Filemaker that I'd like migrated to Airbase. I'd like someone to provide an estimated cost.

Hi Airtable Community,I run a contracting company in the property restoration space. We have started renting equipment to other contractors during peak / spike events (like hurricanes and other natural disasters). We are looking for someone to develop the following overall process:We want the ability to "scan" equipment FROM our inventory TO a job (rental customer) right out of our Master Inventory of all of our equipment.We want those serial numbers / items to be automatically brought into the agreement we have the cutomers sign - more or less capturing (by product / type / serial #) the items they are renting.That is just the high level of what we are looking for. If interested, please respond and I can provide more detais. Thanks. 

We are a small book publisher looking for an Airtable expert that we can form an ongoing, long term support/ advice relationship with. We use Airtable to manage our database of staff as well as to track projects and more.

Ideally we are looking to contract someone we can work with on a regular basis who could take on specific project tasks (to set up new bases/ tables etc) and be available for support as needed.If this sounds like you, please let me know in the comments below and I'll reach out with more information.Thanks!Susie

Hi, I’m trying to develop a simple envelope budgeting system for my family. You can read more about the envelope system here, it’s very straight forward: http://www.moneycrashers.com/envelope-budgeting-system/ I created the following table: https://airtable.com/shrwr8HnsXRGdxbgM It works wonderfully for me and my wife but the month is about to end (1oth of march) and in this specific system you need to add to the envelop a new monthly budget in addition to what’s left from last month and I can’t find a way to performing that, Maybe I need to create another month table, I don’t know. I’m willing to pay for a professional to do it, it’s pretty simple but I don’t have the experience. Can someone help me? Best, G

Hi, I have an ecommerce business and I’m looking to organize things using Airtable. Below is the brief of my requirements: Sales Channels: WooCommerce, Etsy, Amazon (Walmart, Ebay and more in the future) Orders comes through one of the sales channels. All important data should be populated in the table Packing list/slip is generated for the factory so for instance if the order is 1 kit, then the packing slip will contain all components needed for the factory. (Checklist format so components can be ticked off) Ability for factory/user to upload pictures for each order showing what all is packed. (Pictures can be saved elsewhere if storage is an issue. Only the last 60 days’ ordered pictures would be needed.After 60 days then can be archived if storage is an issue) Factory user will upload tracking to the table. There should be a sync button which automatically pushes all tracking from the table to their respective sales channel.

I've wished for a while that shared view links contain preview images in messaging apps / social media, and give me metrics on the number of clicks, so I made a little tool to fix that: just change ".com" to ".cool" in any shared view URL. Here's an example: https://airtable.cool/shrXISgTxpgLU0SgP , showing the total number of clicks in the .cool page's third line ("35 total clicks in the last 2 days")  When pasting the link into a messaging/social media ap

Hello, I have a small Solar company and I’m currently using excel to track clients, appointments, materials, etc. I’m trying to get off excel and a friend told me about Airtable. I don’t have the time to learn it and set it up, so I’m curious how much it would cost to get this going. Charles

Hi everyoneAs a little weekend project I made a simple tweet scheduler with Airtable. It allows to post tweets once daily at a time you specify. You can set the number of times you want each tweet to post, or allow to repeat indefinitely. Turn on/off at any time. Available at https://amazingairtable.gumroad.com/l/tweetsLet me know what you think! Just doing this for fun for now, but may start to build more complex stuff if I can generate any interest.Peace
