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

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:

I am looking to learn Airtable so I can utilize it for my business, I have some specific wants and needs and am hoping to work with someone who knows what they are doing, someone who would be willing to show and not just do. Anyone?

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.

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 det

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:

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

All – I want to apologize for my extended absence from Airtable Community; let me assure you it was neither intentional nor enjoyed on my part.¹ I hope what I bring as a peace offering helps make up for all the unanswered questions and messages. Here is version 1.0 of my scheduling/calendaring framework for Airtable. It offers a template-driven solution to scheduling recurring processes, allowing process types to be defined as a set of interrelated events. Later, instances of these processes are created in a separate table, in turn spawning and scheduling component tasks and subtasks. The framework also allows for differentiation between tasks that can fall on any day of the week and those that must be scheduled only on workdays; workday-only tasks can be specified as falling on the nearest preceding or nearest following workday, as desired. Stand-alone templates — that is, a single event with no subtask — can also be created, allowing certain classes of events

I recently began working as a director of a very busy bakery. We need a solution that can: manage and track inventory of print collateral (packaging, labels) link products to their related packaging requirements (including: packaging, labels/branding, digital design files, manufacturer, and their related costs) recipes, allergen declarations, cost of goods and which department they fall under (cafe, wholesale, catering, national shipping) integrate and communicate with our website/e-comm platforms to track sales and * trigger when it’s time to order more of specific packaging integrate and communicate with our recipe/FDA nutrition label database for our wholesale business right now everything is done on the fly with a variety of systems that aren’t communicating or integrated. I don’t have the time to build something and don’t have the experience to know if a template already exists that could meet our needs.

We’re a DEI nonprofit that would like to build a speakers’ bureau website that auto-populates/displays from an AirTable. We’d like *speakers to be able to update their information using a form that populates AirTable *to be able to “approve” the updated information before it gets displayed on the website *to have a form for speakers we invite and one for speakers who are interested in being included. *to be able to track how many times a speaker is contacted from our website. It looks like Mini Extensions can do a lot of what we want – we need someone to build it for us. Thanks for any help!

We are looking to use Airtable to build data tables for our customers. What we really want to do is create a front-end website/portal where customers can then login to see their database in a clean and user friendly UI. They could make changes, updates, additions, deletes. All woudl be written back to their Airtable table. We would do most of the implementation and setup for them, but then connect it so once we “go live” with them, they could login and then begin to self-manage. The key is that we really want the front end to be clean, functional, and very user-friendly. Looking for some ideas on the best and most efficient ways to accomplish this.

Wondering if this is possible, its a kind of internal market where people see what is available to buy, at what prices and transfer to each other. Requirements: Client portal which sources data from different sources. Which also shows the price, who has which product, maybe a graph with some info. Should be the main dashboard, where people can offer, buy and sell. Every person needs there own access and needs to see how many products they have. Marketplace for transferable products with payment gateway and contract with a signature from both sides. So when someone agrees to buy a product, they can click through the system, both sides sign a contract, money is transferred and then ownership is changed.

With today’s outage, I became duly aware how much I rely on Airtable. I need to hire someone to help create a true backup export of all fields/records into a FM file or similar.

Hello, We need to transfer our database from Salesforce to Airtable. We have about 3,700 contacts, with 75 data fields per contact. Are there any experts who can provide assistance with this project?
