Hey Airtable community :wave: It’s time for this weeks updates at Softr. We have rolled out a number of new updates this week we would love to share with you. :new: Improved Airtable Formatting We are always keeping a close eye on any new updates to Airtable’s API to bring Softr customers the best experience. Thankfully Airtable recently provided a number of formatting improvements so we jumped at the opportunity to bring you these changes asap. These improvements include: • Improved date and time formatting • Support for currency symbols and decimal places • Display of linked records without the need for lookup fields :page_facing_up: Reorder Pages Previously when adding new pages we stacked them in alphabetical order. However, over time, with larger applications, organising and navigating to your pages in the studio could become cumbersome. Starting from today you can now reorder your pages. It’s the small things in life tha

Hi there! We would like to show a Page Designer clone called Cumulo Docs. It’s awesome but we are biased. Here are the main features: :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: Drag and Drop editor for creating stunning layouts for your Airtable data :sparkles: Multiple Records supported in a single page :books: Multiple Pages supported too :confetti_ball: API support for PDF Creation :zap: Works with Free Airtable accounts also (because Cumulo Docs uses your API key) It’s available at https://www.cumulodocs.com Here’s a screenshot of an Invoice created by CumuloDocs: Prefer a video? Here’s a short video (~5 mins) where I create the same invoice from scratch.

Hi, I’m an entrepreneur for a growing small business in freight logistics (around $6M in annual revenue) and looking for help implementing airtable in my business. Are there any consultants that work with smaller budgets and businesses that don’t fully have an idea of everything they want set up yet and may need ongoing support?

Hi, I am looking to hire someone who could help me build a few tables for my venture capital firm. I’d also like the person to explain the tables they built, how they built them, etc… so I can have a better understanding of building more advanced tables in Airtable. Here’s what I’m looking to have built: I’d like to have a table that is basically a fully detailed overview of our venture portfolio. This would include, all deals we have invested in, their values, investment amount, estimated fair value, current raised value, logo, contact, blurb about what they do, website, investment date, sector, sub sector etc… Our second table would be a “public” facing table that would have some of the info form table one, but the details would be more limited and anything private wouldn’t go here. this table would be sent out to investors in our updates, or allows investors to check on the portfolio whenever they wanted to see new additions.

Hi all, As I’ve noticed on the community forum it’s a common issue so I decided to share with you our solution on “ How to add a card to a filtered Kanban view for staff member ”. We use Airtable as a project management tool that consolidates financial and operational data. It means we work project based and one or more people work on a project. For planning our work we use Kanban views to followup tasks. For management and time-tracking reasons we want to bundle all tasks from all staff in one database. This results in a filtered Kanban view per staff member. Unfortunately, when you simply filter on a staff member (linked to another table) and try to add a card to the Kanban view, the card will disappear because the staff member is not automagically linked to the card when you add it. Solution Instead of filtering on a linked value, filter on a “Created by” field. Because this is an automated field, the

Hi all, As I’ve noticed on the community forum it’s a common issue so I decided to share with you our solution on “How to add a new record in a view filtered on a lookup value”. We use Airtable as a project management tool that consolidates financial and operational data. It means we work project based and one or more people work on a project. It results in big tables where for example financial data is filtered per project (which is a lookup value from another field). Because this filter is applied on a lookup value, the record disappears when you add a record because it fails to fill in the field automagically. Solution Thanks to the recently introduced nested filtering, we have found a solution which makes use of some kind of “timer”. By filtering on the timer and an automated “Created by” field, this record will stay visible for the user who inputs it. The following steps should be followed:

I’m surprised I am the first to reference this comprehensive and noteworthy effort by the folks over at Sync Inc. blog.syncinc.so

Hello, our nonprofit is looking for someone to help us build a base for a local community donation directory.

We are ready to gather all the information necessary, we just need the technical expertise to get us there. Can you help?! (we promise we won’t ask for nonprofit pricing- unless you want too :slightly_smiling_face: ) Thank you so much and we look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hey folks! I use Airtable for literally everything. I’m constantly making new apps and automating processes for everything I do, whether it’s business or even just tracking personal stuff like gym progress. One thing that I had always wanted for a long while has been to have the ability to create some really customized views of my Airtable data on a website. Specifically, to bring some more interactivity to my tables and connect some of them to the outside world more easily. I wanted a way of hooking Airtable up to the web where I could use HTML/CSS to creatively display the data and let users interact with it. Basically, I wanted to be able to quickly prototype simple web apps utilizing Airtable as a backend, without the fuss of having to do a whole bunch of programming and maintaining a server for each new project I started. I checked out a handful of existing solutions, but none of them did exactly what I wanted. So now almost 6 months later… in

Hey Airtable community :wave: It’s time for this week’s updates at Softr. We have rolled out a number of new updates this week we would love to share with you. :new: Additional Sign-up Block Fields Starting from today you can now add additional fields to the Sign-up block. We have now created a powerful sign-up block that connects seamlessly with Airtable to fit all your needs. You can now capture additional fields, including: • Single line text • Long text • Dropdown • Phone number • URL • Files • Multi-select dropdown • Hidden Fields • Date • Date & Time • Checkbox But it doesn’t stop there. The next most anticipated feature which dovetails perfectly with this new functionality is waiting for you below :point_down: :bust_in_silhouette: Updated user Account Block This new functionality will allow you to create a richer user profile for users of your application. Better still, you can enab

The question of how to extract the last name from a combined “first [middle][…] last [suffix]” name string – or the last word from a multi-word string – comes up from time to time. I offer a solution (with caveats) in a reply to a recent support post. My example is name-oriented but could easily be adapted to an arbitrary string. Hope this will save someone some time! Split First and Last Names That's a little more difficult… At heart, the formula would be something like this: REPLACE({Name},1,FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE({Name}," ","~",LEN({Name}) - LEN(SUBSTITUTE({Name}," ","")))),"") That's a l

Hello there, I discovered interfaces last week and I’ve been blown away by the opportunities they open. For months I’ve been frustrated by the lack of analytics in Stripe. When I saw Interfaces, I told myself that it could be a good solution to build relevant analytics. So, I’ve built a new database connected to Stripe and created an interface to display the metrics I need, the result is just great. I show it with test data in this video.

Looking to create a 15-20 step new hire workflow process (background check sent, background check received, employment letter sent, employee letter received, email set-up, etc.) In addition, at some of these steps, I would like an email to be sent to the new hire advancing through workflow process and/or existing internal HR employees that are assisting in the new hire workflow process. Is this type of task something that can be easily accomplished via Airtable? If so, I would be interested in working with a consultant to help set-up the new hire workflow. Thank you!

Hey community, We’re a small creative studio that’s currently managing our growing business via Slack/Google Workspace and Dropbox with a variety of Pages docs, Google Spreadsheets, and Google Slides presentations. It’s functioning but highly redundant. We recently moved one of our critical spreadsheets for project management into Airtable and it’s functioning well. We’d like to find a consultant that can help us structure our databases, and build out forms and automation to make Airtable our central agency management tool. Thanks in advance for letting us know if you or your company is a good fit for this type of work.

Hey everyone, now that AT has interfaces, is there someone who can build one? I am a city employee whose office tracks constituent service requests of multiple types, each with varying degrees of tracking, as well as using AT for teams and projects. I’d love to better track the requests that come in to see how we are doing as far as taking care of our constituents. Who would be able to help us build an interface for AT? Please contact me at andre@40thward.org if interested. Thanks!

Hello, we have been researching and looking into different formulas that would allow us to highlight duplicates. We are looking to add a formula like this How to Highlight Duplicates in Google Sheets but for AirTable. However, we have yet to add or find any successful formulas that will highlight any duplicates automatically if they are added. We are looking for an expert to help create this functionality in every table that we have. So that we can add this to all of our tables.

Hi there, this question has been asked before on the community: Convert address (list) to geocode (latitude and longitude) through map block and google API What we need: A Script or Automation that reads the geocode field of a table and writes lat lon coordinates to separate fields of the same table. What we know: The field is base64 encoded, needs to be decoded and the lat lon values extracted from the array. Next steps: If you are up for this straightforward task, drop me a line at lars.schulz@systemic.de or as a comment here. Best regards Lars

This base uses the Unsplash API to search for images and save them to your base for review. The base is published on the Airtable Universe here. To use this base, copy it from the Universe into your workspace. You will need an Airtable Pro account and access to the scripting block to make it work. To get going, go to the Unsplash Developer pages, create an account, then create an Unsplash application. This will create an access key and a secret key for the app (we only need the access key). Open the script block in Airtable, click on “Edit” and replace the access key default string with your access key: Close the script editor and run the script.

Whaaaaat?! :open_mouth:

I’m testing out making a few of my scripts available on my Gumroad Store. These scripts currently have a “Pay What You Want” pricing model, so you can get them for free if you like. Duplicate Record including Linked Records: Duplicate records, including making duplicates of linked records. The “Pay What You Want” version is minified code (not human editable), but the full editable version is available for a premium. Here are links to the script and video demo. Email automation helper scripts: These are small scripts to be used with email automations that follow a “Find records” action. One script helps you send an email to a different email address if there are no records. The other script calculates a sum for a field value in the found records. Both small scripts are fully editab
