Hello, my clients use airtable forms on mobile all the time . but if they wait too much before validation, the form reloads and data are lost. i found ways to block reload but this is too complicated for my clients. any solutions ? waiting for an airtable offline solution… ?

I’m stuck on how to set up a few fields/tables and am pretty sure I only need a 15-30 consultation I know there’s a way to do what I want to do, but I can’t figure it out. Should I look for someone here to help me or ask in the airtable community? Thanks

Looking for help with creating customizable multipage PDF reports from our Airtable data! Currently we’re using Google Docs to create a report, each with it’s own master header, with a varying amount (2-50) of cues (records), each cue needing it’s own group header and each having it’s own set of specific data (10-20 columns). Usually they run anywhere from 2-10 pages long. Our recipients need it in this format. We’d love to have it be aesthetically easy to read, with customizable color coding. Printing as PDF directly from Airtable isn’t working due to formatting, grid spacing, longer descriptions getting cut off, and inadequate headers. Page Designer isn’t working due to only having 1 record per page (even 2 doesn’t work if I “halve” the printing dimensions) - for context, sometimes 1 project (report) has 8-20 episodes, and each episode has 1-30 cues, and each cue can have 2-8 songs… that is a ton of range, so a set dimension for each record just causes excessive blank space, like in

Hello all, I recently came into control of a very large Airtable database. upwards of 30,000+ records, several hundred views, and 30 tables. I need either resources I can go to to see/learn about best practices for cleaning, automating, and building out workflows or a person who I can go to for workflows. Person would need to have proven work in a similar type of project, with large amount of data, intricate workflows, and have experience with this. Thanks!

Hey everyone! My team at Unito just wrote a piece on how we use Airtable to create a competitor ecosystem, and I thought it might be useful to people here! Essentially we create a base with fields titled ‘name’,‘type’,‘description’,‘pricing model’, and so on. Additionally, there are some tips to building your own competitive landscape on Airtable. This really helps us keep an eye on the competition. Do you use Airtable for the same thing? Are there any other fields you use that helps you accomplish this? Let me know if you found this useful, our team uses Airtable for many things, and we’d love to share the other ways we use it!

Hey there, If you’re looking for a way to set up an educational platform on Airtable to share your knowledge and skills, here’s a brief guide explaining how that can be done using the Softr no-code platform. Cheers, Narek

All, I’m a General Partner in an Investment Syndicate that focuses on bringing diversity to the world of venture-backed companies. We’re very much in need of someone who’s deeply proficient in Airtable, Zapier, Stacker and the general world of Low Code/No Code. The job description is here. If interested let me know at Peter at gaingels dot com.

I tend to work in the Kuiper belt of complex and challenging integration projects at scale but I’m not isolated from occasional simple problems where I can learn something while helping others. I also advise many investment groups and companies concerning the bets they place in no/low-code systems and vendors. With vast experience in fishing woefully architected systems from a cesspool of low/no-code Airtable Goldbergian buffoonery, I feel compelled to offer this advice if you are seeking the right person to lead the development of your future Airtable tech stack. An appeal to candidates who are low/no-code “experts” is risky because it will entice and attract people who have many skills that have done some amazing things with Integromat, Zapier, and other platforms. But there’s another side of no/low-code power-users that may result in the creation (or expansion) of costly, unreliable, and largely unsustainable processes. Some of these candidates seeking work will be ideal; most will

Hi Everyone! I work for a non-profit organization that lets volunteers read stories from kid authors and submit personalized notes of encouragement to them. We use Airtable for both the user interface (the stories are embedded in a gallery view and volunteers submit their notes through a form) and the back end. Right now, the work of assigning stories to individual volunteers for each event is done by hand, but we know it’s possible to create a Javascript block that can make this a breeze! We’re looking for someone that can build a script to: Let the user select an event they’d like to assign stories to Find the attendee list for that event Automatically assign x amount of stories to each volunteer, allowing for user input on certain parameters (i.e. how many stories should each volunteer get, would you like to pack stories from authors in a certain grade/school, etc) Please let me know if you’re able to help!

Hey there! I work for Unito, a company that creates integrations between tools, like Airtable. We recently wrote an article about how we use our own product to bridge Airtable and Asana! When we decide what our next integration will be, we keep track of information, like API availability and user demand, in an Airtable base. Then, to send this information to other teams, we track it in Asana. You can read about our use case, and learn how we’ve been loving Airtable, here! I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts, and how your team is using Airtable. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi, We’re looking to write our own program that integrates with both AirTable API and Drip’s API as well as Twilio API. We want to accomplish two things: We are looking for ways of managing our SMS triggers queue on Twilio as well as updating a log file for each action. We want to have this process done without Zaps, thus bypassing the need for tasks on Zapier. We want to be able to update a table with our leads list and all their profile information coming from DRIP automatically every time a new lead comes in. We are also looking to have our KPI dashboards in AirTable to be automatically updating. We want to be able to paste data in AirTable with automations that will be able to sort this data on a dashboard that will be convenient to read (simplified data sheet). Please advise. Thank you.

Hey there, I’m trying to integrate Airtable with my ChatBot Product. In that, we are trying to render data using Airtable tables. but here we need to provide an interface to the end-users to select the base and tables they are targetting the get the data. Based on the documentation, I found that to get the list of bases and tables we need to get the Airtable Metadata API. I have also requrested for the same but didn’t get any feedback. Do I need to provide any more details? Please suggest and help me in that case.

Hello, I am new to the community. I am trying to setup a database for our acquisition company. I have leads that own multiple products and need to be able to sum up all the products in one place. This works perfectly with grouping. However, my issue is assigning a caller to these leads. I want to link all the lead records with the same names to each other and my caller have a summary of all the products, values and one lead contact field. With grouping I can assign a collaborator but they have to be assigned to each one and it breaks the summary. Can anyone tell me how to complete this correctly? I was hoping another table named leads where it listed the owners once and rolled up the values of all the associated records to that owner.

Looking for help with Airtable reorganization for efficiency and automation for my interior design firm: project tracking and management project budget management project product tracking organizing tasks by job, by employee with deadline notifications (similar to Trello) creating project schedules/deadlines (with the possible option of being able to communicate progress with clients) contacts organization and possible integration with Mailchimp, etc. We’re currently using it as a series of glorified spreadsheets and know we’re not even close to tapping into the full capabilities - we just don’t have the bandwidth to set it up properly I would prefer an Austin-based consultant but am open to remote if it makes sense.

Best practices help.

Hi there — I run a media company and we sell ads across our channels. We only have a limited number of ad slots on each channel, and I’d like to use Airtable to build a tool for people to book advertisements on our channels — and ideally to pay and submit content as well. We currently use Airtable for this, but it requires a member of our team accepting payments, sending a form/survey, and managing the process. I’d like the entire experience to be automated. Here’s what the workflow would look like: Clients can view an Airtable form to book a particular slot. (There might be 1-2 slots available per week per channel – and once someone books it, it should disappear) That person is then sent somewhere to pay, ideally integrated with Airtable. (This would be the stage where the booking slot disappears so nobody else can book it - after the payment is made) Then they’re given access to an Airtable form for submitting their ad details. (Links, body copy, images, etc) (If they don’t submit b

Simple version (so you can cut and paste, and put to use) Link to demo base:TestLab Status Airtable TestLab Status - Airtable Explore the "TestLab Status" base on Airtable. Table 1: Latest Status LEFT( RIGHT(status_&"", LEN(status_&"") -FIND({Last Updated}&"",status_&"")-23 ), FIND({Last Updated}&"", RIGHT(status_&"",LEN(status_&"") -FIND({Last Updated}&"",status_&"")-23) )-1 ) Last Updated is just pulling the latest date for the linked records in Status Update Records. TheStatus_ is looking up all of the status-helpers for the linked records so they can be searched through by the Latest Status formula. Table 2: Helper-status field is simply {Status Date}&Status&{Status Date} Its easy enough to repeat for multiple fields, I recommend using notepadd++ to copy the Latest Status formula to find&replace old field name the new one. . . . .

We have built a CMS system for our content and marketing initiatives and require a few automations/formulas to make the system more user-friendly for us. I’ve listed these in order of priority: #1: SORT DATE On the content side, we have a number of deadlines to meet, based on the Status (phase of the project). At present, the table default is to sort based on Publish Date. REQUEST: We’d like automations/formulas written that would alter the sort based on the Status (and the corresponding due date). For example: Status is changed from 1st Draft to Z: Feedback of 1st Draft → The sort order would then be based on the deadline assigned to Z: Feedback of 1st Draft and not the deadline for 1st Draft. AIM: To be able to view all tasks for all content pieces based on due dates (not just based on status or assigned to or publish date). #2: ADD AUTOMATIONS We just need someone proficient to go in and add the automations as per the “formula” → When Assigned To changes to XXX, notify XXX in Slack

Need to know what type of data is being returned to a formula from a field? What if that field is a lookup field? The common answer for the latter is, “It’s most likely an array,” but there are times when it’s a single value, and the correct type for certain fields is not always obvious. To help save myself (and, I hope, many others) a lot of desktop head-banging, I dove deep into every field type to figure out what’s what, and captured my findings in a table, naturally. :slightly_smiling_face: You can find the results of that effort here: Airtable Airtable Field Reference - Airtable Explore the "Airtable Field Reference" view on Airtable. I plan on updating this table regularly as new field types are added, so feel free to bookmark this shared view, as it’s gonna be around for the long haul. On a side note, this table is the first resource added to my brand new site: AllAboutThatBase.tips. It’s pretty bare-bones at the moment, but mor
