Builders Board

Hi everyone I’ve posted previously about making a simple “to do” list that generates a new task with the same name, due a week later, whenever you tick the task complete. Here’s a slightly more sophisticated version of the same idea, where you can specify when you want the task to repeat, e.g. 1 week later, 2 weeks later, etc. Hope this is useful to someone out there. I’m just getting started on making simple instructional Airtable videos, so appreciate any feedback. Cheers!

Hi everyone. It just occurred to me that you could use a formula and a couple of automations to make yourself a simple recurring tasks list. All you need is a date field to set the initial due date of your task, a checkbox field for when you mark the task as “Done” and a formula field that adds a specified length of time to the due date using DATEADD when “Done” is ticked. Then your automation will take the date generated in the formula field and replace the original date in {Due date}. A second automation then takes a last modified field set to monitor when “Done” was ticked, and a formula that shows how much time has passed since “Done” was last ticked, and unchecks “Done” after that length of time has passed (I set this to 2 minutes, i.e. 120 seconds). This final step is to ensure the two automations do not interrupt each other (so to speak). Here’s the full set up… Fields {Name} - Primary field, single line text. The name of your task. {Due date} - Date field, indicating whe

Memorializing this since I spent entirely too much time and bugged @Justin_Barrett @Bill.French and @openside to get this output. I needed to output the US date format into an email, but I needed “tomorrow’s date” to be output. The use case was an email that goes out through automations every Wednesday, but they needed a reminder in the email to follow up by Thursday, (Tomorrow’s Date). Here’s the outcome. It works, so we don’t try to make it more elegant in these parts :slightly_smiling_face: let someDate = new Date(); someDate.setDate(someDate.getDate() + 1); let dateFormatted = someDate.toLocaleString('en-US', { year: 'numeric', month: '2-digit', day: '2-digit'}); output.set('thisDate', dateFormatted); You can add whatever number to the second line to add, haven’t tried subtracting. Also, the toLocaleString() without any modifiers outputs a date and time.

We need a case management system for filing and processing eviction lawsuits. Need a customer portal for new and current clients, form or link for intake questions, ability for customer to submit the info, and upload documents, ability for staff to use a form attached to the table record to put in more info, ability to communicate status with client in portal, send status emails to client, mailmerging of info by staff to create basic court documents, bills. Current legal case management systems have way more than we want or need and operate using “matters” rather than a database. We like to bulk prepare/merge documents on certain dates for multiple eviction cases. Currently all is done using a legacy database with manual staff inputting of data we receive from a Jotform type submission on our site where clients must put in contact info each time. We have no connection from our Jotform type webform to our database and no portal for new clients to register or current ones to log in.

Hi all - Airtable has officially launched a beta of the new consultant directory, where you will have the ability to get matched with a consultant or reach out to one yourself directly. We are thrilled about the potential of this program and its ability to help anyone accelerate their time to value with Airtable by making it easier to find the right solution for your specific needs. You can check it out here. The first cohort of consultants was selected based on an application and review process by the Airtable team. Consultants were invited to apply based on engagement data and community activity. Although applications are currently closed, those interested in getting added to the directory in the future can sign-up here to be notified when we’re accepting new applications for the next cohort. Huge thank you to those of you who helped to bring this to life - we hope this is a great resource for the community moving forward.

These are static tables I find myself using frequently when building bases for clients, so I keep a copy of them on their own in my account so I can easily copy-paste them into bases when needed. I’m creating this wiki to share them in case other people might want to use them, or contribute their own reusable pre-mades. To make use of these, open the base through the links below, then use the “Copy base” button (top right corner) to add a copy of it to your own workspace. Then, you can copy (⌘/ctrl + a → ⌘/ctrl + c) and paste the table desired into other bases as needed. US & CA States/Districts/Territories Includes Country, Capital City, and Postal Abbreviation.

Hi, I am looking to hire an airtable consultant to help me set up a (little complicated) insurance CRM. Who can help?

Here’s what I want to do. Export our entire CRM database (a subset of the data) to Airtable In Airtable, I want to monitor the DB for specific birthdays (e.g. 30th, 55th) When a DB member is within 30 days of one of those (or other) specified birthdays, using Zapier, I want to create an activity in our CRM. (I already have built and tested a Zap that will do this, but it may need some fine tuning.)

Hey Everyone, We at Softr.io have prepared a simple how-to article about creating a job board on Airtable. As we see more and more niche job boards popping up, we wanted to share this with a wider audience so that more people without tech skills can build projects like this. The article covers the following steps: How to create a job board from a template; Setting up a form to receive job posting submissions from users; Restricting submissions to logged in users only. Check it out here. Would love to hear your feedback and ideas! Cheers, Narek

Airtable has just released my latest app: My One Record. I wrote this app because I wanted a quick way to access linked records in a grid view without the distractions of other unrelated records. I have been personally using this app in my own bases every day ever since I wrote it, and it is such a mental timesaver when you need to jump between parent and child records. Here are some links: watch a video demo install the app from the marketplace purchase a premium license. To setup this app, your base needs … a collaborators field (that allows adding multiple collaborators) in the parent table a button field in the parent table to call the app a lookup field of that collaborators field in the child table a filtered view in the child table based on the lookup The video demo has more details on how to setup and use the app. Note that you can test out the app before purchasing a premium license. A premium license simply removes the delay before changing the active view. Some notes:

I wasn’t entirely surprised today to learn about the carnage over on the “Make” Facebook group, soon to be the former Integromat group. When Cleonis acquired Integromat I predicted there may be turbulence in its future. I tried to tell you. This is what big companies that get bigger through acquisition do best. There are some really angry customers because they apparently rototilled the framework, adjusted the terms and pricing, modified some long-understood concepts, and gave it a new name that even a Google PhD couldn’t find using the most advanced search queries imaginable. Try to search for this new flagship product - it’s laughable. I definitely want to have coffee with the marketing MBA who spent perhaps $250,000 renaming and rebranding this product. “Make”? Seriously!?! Was “Do” taken? Did “Go” not make the shortlist? And what were these people doing when this brilliant plan was hatched? It backfired. But cheer up; it’s likely to get worse.

A way to track collaborators in an airtable enterprise account - GitHub - nafeger/airtable_collaborators: A way to track collaborators in an airtable enterprise account This tool will allow you to manage a Base that can be synced with all the collaborators within your organization. I often found it difficult to determine who had access to which bases, and who was assigned to workspace vs individual permissions. So, here’s a fun tool. It currently requires access to the enterprise api, so keep that in mind if you want to use it. Any questions feel free to ask here or hit me up on the twitter: @nafeger

Looking for a consultant to design a full marketing project management system that is currently using a lot of google sheets

Our nonprofit Association has an open Request for Proposals that may be of interest to Airtable specialists based in Canada. Please read the full RFP here. Interested parties should contact the email address included in the RFP. Thanks!

I am in the process of designing and building a base as the backend of a mobile app, and I would like to have the help of a motivated and experienced Airtable consultant to achieve that goal.

I knew that title would grab your attention. People often ask me to help them with Airtable projects and I agree to help them from time-to-time, but not always. And I don’t even post much about my work because - well - it’s a bit boring and obscure to most onlookers. Some of my architectures require data in Airtable to magically sync to Google Sheets at the cell level - literally the data in a cell in Airtable must update to a target cell in Google Sheets in near real-time. While possible, not many people require this level of integration let alone in less than 1 second. As such, my work tends to be very behind-the-scenes sort’a like the city waste managers - workers who deal with stuff you need to work reliably but whose names are never known unless something failed. :winking_face: The title of this post relates to a very specialized role in the NFL (and increasingly College football). The “long snapper” is a specialist whose craft is not really known by even the most ardent footbal
