Hey awesome folk of Airtable!! For the last 5 months I’ve been working on a membership & subscription management tool to sell secure Airtable access directly to your audience. I had some bases I wanted to sell read-only access too but was struggling to find a tool to do this. I love Airtable’s UI and it’s sortable, searchable features. I didn’t want to use an Airtable to website type of builder, because let’s face it. It’s never as good as how your Airtable bases look fresh off the press. So I set out to build a tool that would basically ‘host’ your readable Airtable bases and build a membership platform around it. Super happy to announce it’s now live! Introducing Paytable An all-in-one tool to monetise your curated resources, checklists, lead magnets, research p

Well, after all this time, its finally here: my custom app Master Calendar. What it does: Master Calendar is an app for Airtable that allows you to display and even edit records from multiple tables in one calendar interface as labeled, color-coded events See it in action: Get it from the Marketplace: Airtable

When you want to build custom tools or websites on your Airtable data - then you’ll be using the Airtable API and almost certainly some JavaScript (in this case Node.js) to work with your data. Soon you will probably start asking questions like: How do I paginate through the Airtable REST API? How do I manage the 5 calls / second rate limit in Airtable’s API? How can I find specific records using filterBy? How do I use the API to return linked data from several tables? TL;DR - the answers were just as tedious to build as we thought. So we built a tool and wrote a tutorial on how to skip the API and use Airtable as a database. You’ll find many iterations of answers to these same questions here in the Airtable community. Yes, all of this is possible

Softr’s (a no-code platform for building web apps powered by Airtable) latest release has significantly improved the List & List Details blocks. Until recently, our List & List Details blocks that pulled data from Airtable had a fixed layout and a limited number of fields to choose from. You can now dynamically add as many fields as you like with as many types as you wish! We now support the following field types : Simple text Simple text (markdown & HTML formats) Email Heading 1 Heading 2 Heading 3 Tags File Video Audio Image Gallery Embed (e.g. Calendly) Google Maps

We a are commercial construction subcontractor. We are looking for an Airtable Dashboard expert who can help us pull data based on certain criteria to create visual decision making tools.

Hey Everyone, Our latest article in the “Learn Airtable” series explains how date formulas work and how to use them. We’ve provided detailed explanations and practical examples, so it will be helpful for both beginners and those looking for a refresher. Cheers, Narek

Hey Airtable fanatics, We’ve made some big updates to On2Air: Amplify! Start a free 14-day trial We’ve revamped the layout and made it even easier to quickly create view types, change layouts, search records, and switch tables. Check out these new features!

Part A – build one or more base(s) of 3rd party architectural product information (lighting and electrical equipment for commercial architectural projects) that we specify on a regular basis. This may have 10 to 20 data points for each entry. Part B – Create a template that allows my team to create a unique schedule for an individual project that will draw information from that master base. When we need to add something new, I want to add it into the project, but have that information propagate back into the master database also. we will have PDF files associated with each entry, but any PDF may be usable across several base data fields. ie product A has a PDF data sheet, and we carry 10 versions of that product in the master base, each entry needs to have that PDF tied to it. Initially, we should sync up on a zoom call for 15-20 minutes, I can demonstrate how we do this with Google Docs (and why it has serious faults). thanks Mark

Hey everyone! My team at Unito just wrote a Beginners Guide to Airtable! It covers the dashboard, workspaces, bases, and more. I thought it would be helpful to anyone who’s new to the community. Let me know if you found this useful, or if there’s anything to add :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello! We have recently created a base on Airtable to track the students our nonprofits serve. We also just added the Send SMS app so we could, for example, text all the students that hadn’t completed a particular milestone. We realized, however, that the app doesn’t support incoming messages. Airtable Support shared that it’s possible to get those messages back into Airtable either by using the public API or using an integration platform such as Zapier. We’re needing someone to help with this integration. Ideally, the outgoing and ingoing text messages could all be viewed by student record within Airtable. Additionally, we’ve created a few forms via Airtable and would like help switching the links out on our custom app. The previous forms were feeding into Salesforce which we were using before Airtable. Thanks!

I made this script which allows you to compare two lists based off a field value, then modify a checkbox when matches are found. My use case example: I create a custom list of contacts to email about a product by selecting a checkbox next to who I want to send to. I save this list of contacts as a view in Airtable by filtering where contacts have a ticked checkbox. I make another list of contacts to email about yet another product, however, I want to make sure that I’m not sending this to the previous contacts and their companies I sent to previously. In this case the script works as such: Table is my database Reference view is my first contact list view View to Modify is the second list I want to compare to the first Match field is the ‘Company’ field (string in airtable) - this could be anything Field to modify is the checkbox which is ticked for my second view

:speech_balloon: Actual Scenario: When a member of the team (there are 5 members) makes a question about a certain proyect (we have many at the same time, around 100) the related client receives the question automatically in its email. But in order to answer he has to go into our portal (we use miniextensions.com) log in, find the question and answer it. Which is quite a slow process. :star_struck: Desired Scensario: When a client receives a question he can directly reply the email, and his answer will be updated to the related record. Looking for quotes. If interested write me to t.vacanarvaja@andexgroup.com Thanks

I had an idea in mind for a while now. I would like to create a “hub”, a repository of science-backed studies on a specific topic. If you’re familiar with this website, examine.com does exactly what I intend to do on a broader scale. While examine is not specific to one “niche” but rather gathered studies on specific supplements, I intend to do the same for diabetes and everything related to insulin resistance. Ideally, the project would contain a Home page with a search bar and illustrations all around, with part of the Homepage linking directly to subcategories like: studies repository for the tag « Cinnamon » studies repository for the tag « Metformin » studies repository for the tag « chromium » etc. I imagine I’ll have to create a database regrouping every study about the subject; Ideally, I’d crawl/scrape the URLs of the major databases publishing studies: Pubmed, ScienceD

Hi there :wave: If you’re interested in learning how to create airtable charts with real-time data and add it to your website, I have created a quick tutorial for you. Main benefits include: Interactive charts, so your visitors can play with the chart. Real time data, whenever you update your airtable database it will automatically update the chart.

APPLY HERE: Data Fetcher Content Creator Background: Data Fetcher (https://datafetcher.io/) is an Airtable app that lets users run API requests in Airtable. The app is a low-code product, so you’ll need some experience with APIs. Hopefully, you’ll also have experience using Airtable. I will help you understand Data Fetcher’s features, handle the topic suggestions and high-level plan for each video. I’ve been making YouTube videos myself, but am looking to hire someone to help me do this more consistently and with a better production value. I’d also like you to write the blog posts that go along with the videos. The videos are quite simple. Just a walkthrough of using Data Fetcher with a particular third-party API. I’m open to suggestions on the format and keen to see what you can do

Hello There. Our concierge organizing and moving company can’t seem to find industry software to give us what we need for invoicing so we are looking to integrate more into Airtable which solves 99% of all of our business problems. I see invoicing templates but do not have the time to figure out the setup of said templates to use along our service process. Looking for a consultant that is interested in such a project. Help!

Looking for support of emerging system to move disorganized manual processes in multiple organizations from spreadsheets to airtable. Startup project involving google sheets, airtable, postgresql, javascript, automation, apps and add-ons. Need availability for development and some customer support.

Hey Everyone, I recently shared here our introductory guide to Airtable that opened our Learn Airtable series. Here’s the second article that discusses the pros and cons (what we wish it had) of the Airtable API from our perspective. Would love to hear your feedback. Cheers, Narek

Our shipping/transporting company is looking to move online to Airtable. We currently keep most things on paper, which is out of date and want to move onto an online platform. The setup shouldn’t be too difficult, but being new to Airtable and busy with the business, we don’t have the time. We need shipping records, quotes, and calendars setup primarily.

I’d like to use Airtable for my Internet radio station. I’d love to work with a consultant who can get things set up much quicker than I could right now. Aiming to have something set up in the next couple months. I looked through the templates and didn’t see anything for “radio station” or “music library” that would work for our purposes. We have a lot of info in a Google Sheet and then files such as artwork and music files are on a hard drive. We’re looking to set up one or more bases. Artist library (all the artists we play on the station plus “listening queue” albums we have not added to the station yet, website link, social media links) Music library (all the songs/tracks we have and an indication of which songs we have played on the station plus when they were last played, the music file to listen to, somehow linked/bundled with an artist – there could be multiple albums by the same artist. Maybe that goes in the artist library not the music library

Hello I looking for some help to build a Automation Action which can send a message to Slack, but via Slack’s incoming webhook URL so we can apply layout blocks and advanced formatting. I’m not sure if there’s a third party tool which can accomplish this but I would also be interested to know so I can adjust this myself rather than diving into code unless it’s necessary. Thanks Dan

Hey Everyone, Our platform Softr.io is powered by Airtable, and we’ve been receiving a lot of questions from our users on different aspects of Airtable. So, we thought it would be useful to have an introductory guide that discusses what is Airtable, what it does and can be used for. We plan to cover other, more advanced topics as well. So, looking forward to feedback as well as topic suggestions . Cheers, Narek

Airtable is an amazing tool for quickly prototyping ideas. After working helping many teams build prototypes or production applications that use Airtable as a database, we compiled the six best practices that we see make these projects not only faster to build, but easier to maintain and scale. For instance: Setup a Dev Environment: Things can break as you build new features or adjust your base schema. So duplicate your base to create a “Dev” environment in case you need to revert back. This allows you to build with confidence. Use a naming convention to delineate lookups and calculated fields: Lookups and calculated fields can make it hard to maintain a clean data model and understand how your data is changing. So use a naming convention that helps identifies these field types (like and underscore → _) Create a quick README doc: It’s surprising how many
