Hello :slightly_smiling_face: I am interested in hiring a consultant to create this flow. I have two bases, Base “A” and Base “B”. In base A I have records that include documents in the attachment field. There can be more than one document in the same attachment field. I want to accomplish that when a new document is uploaded in Base A, a new record is created in Base B including the document that has been uploaded in Base A. This would result in having a new record in Base B, each time there is a new document uploaded in Base A. Looking forward to your response. Thank you, Pjero

A recurring question on the forum is how to change item pricing without corrupting existing data. With the Product Catalog & Orders base in Airtable templates, for instance, changing an item price changes the price shown in current and fulfilled orders – not necessarily what one wants should a refund be required. I made a quick-and-dirty mod of the Product Catalog and Orders base to make use of price schedules. This allows items to be repriced going forward while leaving existing data unchanged. To provide this functionality, I added the [Price Schedule] table; added two fields and modified a third in the [Furniture] table; and added two fields and modified a third in [Order Line Items]. It should be easy to find the little I changed: Any field with a description is one I added or modified, and the description explains why.

Hi everyone, Just wrote a tutorial on how to get linked records. It covers two scenarios Simple display linked record details on the same page as the “parent” e.g Products listing with their associated suppliers Filtering the parent records by a specific e.g Filtering the product listing by supplier Hope you find this useful.

Hi, we are looking for help setting up an Airtable system that can help automate our workflow. Some of the tasks would help assign contractors to projects. Coming up with a system for our contractors to send in invoices, simplifying an invoice and payroll system, and moving a project through several different people and assignments.

I spent a long time trying to figure a solution to this need, so now that I found something that works, I want to share it with other users. I don’t know scripting, but I can copy/paste other’s code. So here’s a non-technical solution to automatically deleting duplicates/deleting records using automations and scripts. In this case, I wanted to delete the oldest record, since the newest record is going to be the most up-to-date. Step 1. Mark duplicates: Create an automation that triggers when a new record is created. Then use the mark duplicate script provided by AirTable. Step 2. Separate the older duplicate records: Create a view that filters by duplicate status and date of record creation. In this case, I filter by Duplicate? = “yes” (or however you set up the previous step) and record creation date “is not” “today”. That way only the older duplicate enters into this view. Step 3. Delete the older duplicates: Create another automation that triggers whenever a record enters this view.

Hi - My company is seeking to speak with an (experienced) AirTable consultant/contractor who can help us with a few (custom or templatized) functions we’d like to add to our table: We are creating a "Deal Pipeline Mgmt System" We want a simple BBS function where a Deal is posted at the top and threaded discussions can follow below… we see there are comments available on document index pages, but we were looking for a template for easy, vertical threaded discussions in the format a bit like Kanban style or Trello’s UI I want to create a Dashboard of metrics as deal “objects” flow from 1 status to the next AND summations of data from the objects, e.g. if one deal is worth $100k and another $50k, I’d like a dashboard metric that tallies these and says total deals in the pipeline are work $150k and the average deal value = $150k / 2 deals = $75k/deal We want to create input forms in the form of surveys- that capture data fields and flow them directly into the table.

Hey everyone, There’s a large open source intelligence (OSINT) community helping to document the invasion of Ukraine with many focused on geolocation: identifying exactly where an event took place or where certain media footage was recorded (here’s a recent article on the subject). Given the volume of information, it’s sometimes difficult to keep up so I’ve built a system that searches Twitter for tweets containing coordinates, extracts them and plots the locations onto a map. It’s all fully automated and built on top of Airtable. You can view the base here: Airtable - Simplescraper OSINT. I’ve shared it to some OSINT communities and it seems to be useful, and at the same time it’s a neat example of how Airtable makes it super easy to quickly prototype new ideas. For those interested in how it works: Simplescraper (disclaimer: this is a service I built) scrapes Twitter every 3 minutes and sends new tweets to a base using its Airtable integration In Airtable the base has two automati

I ran into a very interesting situation regarding a fairly complex multi-step Automation: One of the Action steps would not reliably execute properly. Turned out to be a timing problem for which I came up with a solution. Here is the situation: I have a first table ‘DC’ [Data Collector]; I have another table ‘RI’ [Reference Information]; and finally a ‘DD’ [Data Destination] table. I built an Automation, A1, triggered on new information arriving in table DC. The purpose of A1 is to analyze the incoming information, Look Up information in table RI, and then based on the results from RI, create a link to a specific record in table DD. But when Automation A1 executed, it would not reliably generate the Link. Big Problem. After way too much troubleshooting I finally realized that the problem seemed to be that the Lookup steps took too long to complete, and the Automation blasted right ahead to the Link step before the needed information had materialized from the the Lookup step, so t

Hi folks, A few weeks back we shared a show and tell about a custom zapier connector for automating the Airtable environment, and the feedback has been awesome so far. Today, as part of the Openside team, I wanted to share how you can use that connector to solve a long standing missing feature with airtable: external backups. The whole process of setting up automatic backups should take less than 20 minutes. But first, I want to verify that I’m on the right track. Who here needs/wants their Airtable backed up regularly? POLL: How critical are backups to your business? Need them daily (it would be bad if I lost even a day’s worth of changes) Need them weekly/monthly (I need it, but this would be sufficient) Not supercritical, I have my own way of backing up data manually Not important, I don’t have any use for an Airtable data backup 0 voters If you answered “yes” to either option above, or want backups to be set-up-and-automatic ever after, then give this a go: Here’s what

I’ve noticed a few people have used CSV Getter for Airtable to backup their Airtable data with Zapier so I have made a video to show how easy it is. (Apologies for my pronounciation of Zapier - I say it wrong at least once) Links: CSV Getter for Airtable Zapier

With the announcement of expiring external urls, many people need to migrate attachments out of airtable but want to keep a reference. Here’s one way to do it:

This question caught my eye on OpenSide’s Slack channel this morning. It’s a common question for anyone doing anything serious with Airtable. I’ve written about this subject many times including here and here. Does anyone know if Airtable can support more than 100k records per base on enterprise? I generally try to reframe this topic to suggest a more important question you should be asking - Is there a way to optimize the data model to accommodate the equivalent of at least a years worth of transactions? High-volume record requirements are generally indicative of transactions; data flows that are increasingly less relevant as time passes. And there is at least one trick you can use to expand the capacity of small transaction records by not storing individual records in a linked (relational) table; rather, store them as JSON objects in a long text field. This is, of course, a sanctioned approach as evidenced by this Airtable feature . To pull this off, a button (in the client recor

Hello! I’m a part of a volunteer mutual aid group called Mutual Aid LA and we organize a free produce giveaway in a park every Thursday where we hand out produce to the community and also stock several LA Community Fridges (Login • Instagram). We need someone to help us build a base and sign-up form to sign-up to deliver to specific fridges each week. I’ve spent hours trying to do this myself but really just need someone proficient in airtable and automations to help me out by building it or even just giving me some pointers. Please let me know if you are available and interested in doing this. This would impact so many people because it would allow us to get food to so many more people. Thank you for considering!
