Hello everyone, I just launched a new web application that lets you create a website or web app using an Airtable base without writing any code. Here is an article I published in linkedIn: Airvues: build web apps using Airtable databases without writing a line of code! If you’ll like to try it, you can sign up for a free account at Airvues If you have any questions about this new tool, please feel free to ask in the comments. Looking forward to some of your feedback!

Hello friends,I’m pleased to announce my beginner-level Airtable training course, “Learning Airtable”! 🥳It is available on LinkedIn Learning here:Learning AirtableLearn the basics of Airtable, a spreadsheet-database platform, including how to create tables, use different types of fields, leverage views, work with records, link tables, and more.For tracking data and creating custom business apps, Airtable, a spreadsheet-database hybrid platform, can be a powerful tool. Airtable expert Scott Rose starts this beginner course with the basics, presenting how to create a table and how fields work—including text and number fields, date/time fields, value list fields, attachment fields, and formula fields. Scott demonstrates how to work with records, including how to import external records; how to create, edit, and delete records; how t

Do you want to manually run a script on a record, but without opening a script app by clicking a button? True, a checkbox can act as an automation trigger, but if you have several automations that you want to manually trigger this way, you’ll end up cluttering your table with checkbox fields. This method lets you manually trigger one of several automations with a single field. I’ve done this in a couple of different use cases, and it works fairly cleanly. Make a single-select field named something like {Action} Add a choice in this single-select for the action you want to perform; e.g. “Generate Invoice” Make a new automation using the “When record matches conditions” trigger, setting the condition to be: When "Action" is "Generate Invoice" Add a script action that does what you want, passing the record ID and anything else you need from the triggering record Finish the automation with an “Update record” ac

Introduction I’ve analysed and made the below “State of the Art” regarding the “Backup & Restoration” topic. This analysis has been done on December 8, 2020. I’ve also defined what are the “key points” that matters to me, for a reliable Backup & Restoration system. (You might have a different opinion/priorities) I’ve summarized my findings through an Executive Summary below, and then analysed all tools I could find that might help regarding either “Backup” or “Restoration”, and summarized their limitations. Also, I created a poll below regarding what you need/expect from such a tool. :bar_chart: Context I realized such analysis for my company’s interests first (Unly), but thought it could be useful to the Airtable community. We might release our internal CLI “Restore backup” tool as open-source tool, bec

Hi, We have a list of jobs with locations. We can view them on a map as individual markers. But we’d like to view all the jobs that are in a day as a route. e.g. Alternatively: we have a bubble app as well.

Hi everyone! I’m back with an update on our progress on Pory.io :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: We’ve been continuously improving our product over the last month and really excited to announce some new features: We now support existing Airtables! You can map your fields to our template to generate websites even faster. You can add different content blocks with embeddable Airtable forms You can add integrations like live chat and analytics to your site Keen to hear your thoughts :pray:

I do consultations by phone and follow-up with an email. The follow-up email template consists of approximately 600 possible paragraphs. Each paragraph has a number, i.e. 1.0. Most paragraphs are straight text, but some paragraphs also contain data that needs to be entered, if the paragraph has been selected for printing. I want to be able to submit the paragraph numbers desired and have Airtable export a text file with the final selections that I can copy/paste into the body of my email message. My time is limited. Is there someone who would set this up for me? I have staff who could enter the paragraph data. What I really need is someone well-versed in Airtable who can create the structure to do the above. I am Dr. Martin – drmartin@gamgroup.com or call 619-483-1906. Thanks.

Script developers are quick to reach for the Switch() directive in javascript. This is considered better than IF() statements for many reasons, but this is not specific to Airtable scripting; Switch() is used in all flavours of javascript and it’s a bit faster than evaluating IF() statements. But just as Switch() is a better alternative to IF(), JSON may be a better alternative to Switch(). Consider the requirements of my Benford’s example. Traverse every record to capture the first digit in the values of a target numeric field. Count the instances where the first digit is 1 through 9. This is a simple aggregation and one might perform the classification

We already use Airtable and have a working database for payments, surgery(project) tracking. But need to improve on the model and create automations. Possibly integrations in the future. Since we are in Brazil, Portuguese speaking and understanding of Brazilian health management is desired. Thanks!

Airtable, known for its low/no-code marketing posture is experiencing rapid growth and adoption by users who need to create code and by many who want to learn how to code to take full advantage of the platform. The irony does not escape me. About two years ago I predicted Airtable would soon enable users to create javascript code; seven months later, they did. I called it, but this was an easy prediction - it had to happen. A few weeks after Script Blocks was released, I made a similar prediction concerning code generators. I guessed aloud how long it would be before we might see some smart systems able to create complex scripts that perform some pretty useful automation and tasks. Mark that one off - today I got a preview from Dan @openside and I’m excited that he made this a reality. Watch for announcements on this s

It’s not likely many of you known about Benford’s Law, but it will surprise you especially if you happen to unwittingly bet against it. Imagine a scenario - you’re having lunch at a counter cafe and the old guy next to you (i.e., me) says out of the blue… I will give you 20 bucks if you open any page in that newspaper and the first number you see starts with a 7, 8, or 9. And as part of this little game, if the number starts with a 1, 2, or 3 - you have to give me just ten bucks. Would you play that game knowing that the odds are stacked against me? It’s a two-for-one bet after all and numbers, of course, occur in the wild in even distributions, right? Um, wrong. Here’s a 10,000 record [data se](https://download .csv file)t of insurance information that I randomly chose for thi

Found this nifty tool on Product Hunt! Mantle supposedly allows you to turn your Airtable into custom internal tools with no code. You can natively integrate multiple SaaS apps too. Kinda cool and might be useful for someone :slightly_smiling_face: Link to PH: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/mantle

Hi, Searching for a consultant/freelancer (ideally UK / European based due to timezones) to develop a base on behalf of my company.

Hi, I’m looking at using Airtable as a CRM and I’m interested in connecting Airtable records to Xero and to HMRC giftaid. I’m aware other CRMs connect to HMRC giftaid, some via Swiftaid, and I’m wondering if any experts out there have come across this and have any recommended approaches with using Airtable.
