Hi! I am looking for someone who can help me to make an integration where I can get ad performance data (cost per purchase, link clicks or all other metrics) and pass it to Airtable? Example: In Facebook, I have an ad with ID 1234 I want to pass metrics like link clicks & cost per purchase to Airtable to the particular row? I want that if I create a new ad in Facebook than it creates a new row in Airtable with ID of the ad + it fills columns with metrics. Can you do it?
Rock Paper Airtable Airtable Rock Paper Airtable - Airtable Universe Rock Paper Airtable This formula was the Airtable contest winner for April. For a video demo and some information about myself check out my interview... This base contains a formula that was the Airtable contest winner for April. Watch my just released interview with @Zoe_VanDerPloeg on Built on Air, an @openside podcast. overview: This is a playable “Rock Paper Scissors” game against Airtable. The game play is best using a public form view which allows anyone to play regardless if they have an Airtable account. “AI” design: Airtable’s choice is based on a sudo random number generator: IF({Human_Choice}, SWITCH( MOD( VALUE( DATETIME_FORMAT(CREATED_TIME(),'s') ),3 ), 0,'🗿', 1,'📜', 2,'✂️' ) ) What it’s doing is choosing based on the time of record creation. It’s a clock that just happens to only have only
I would like to set up a personal tracker that catalogs when I complete certain tasks (through a form), allows me to visualize that on a calendar, and run analysis on it later. I need someone to give me the training / show me how to do this.
Hi Everybody, I’m new to this community and Airtable. So far, I’m loving the product. Just figuring out how to do things in Airtable. I’m not a computer programmer, but I’ve managed to hack together some fairly complex databases using VBA in MS Access over the years. Trying to get our company’s processes automated and cloud based after getting multiple software companies to unsuccessfully bid to make us custom software (unacceptable in both cost and development time). First challenge, I wanted to make an automatic invoice generator. Pretty simple idea right? Just about every company has some sort of auto-invoice with basic info such as customer, PO#, and an itemized bill of materials. Since I’m used to Access, I thought it would be as simple as making a form and subform, then spit it out in a custom report. Well after twiddling with Airtable and combing the Airtable community posts for a couple weeks, I realized that it wasn’t going to be as straightforward as I naively thought. There
I am looking at standardizing our marketing team on Airtable for project management and tracking. We have two main use-cases and could use clarity on how to set them up/best practices. Using airtable as a lightweight replacement for Jira/ticket system. Using airtable as a planning tool. Allowing us to build a list of items we are planning on doing and then updating the items as they progress. Also being able to view those items on a calendar. We want the use-case to be as lightweight as possible, but also be a replacement for all our various calendars and planning spreadsheets. Ideally we can take advantage of the relational aspect of the tool and keep data normalized (we don’t want to keep adding tabs, we rather add views to existing tabs) Keep like data all in one place so we can have a unified activity calendar. Looking for someone to help us implement this.
I need someone who is experienced in all three applications. I’ve spent many weeks/days/hours building out my Airtable that utilizes Jotform (but I’m not married to it if another form can do better) and Zapier for some (what I consider) basic automations. There seems to be some glitches: having Zapier do an action doesn’t produce the same results as doing it by hand. Ex) using a Zap to paste an email into a field A which comes from an existing record (B) in another table, where B is a “linked” field in Airtable. This should compile all of the records with field A into field B. When doing by hand, field A and B are linked. When using Zapier, they are not linked and AT produces a new record instead of compiling everything linked into the existing record. Furthermore, I cannot understand how I can pull data from AT to pre-populate a form. I want to send that form out to recipients, but because I want a record of each time I send the form to the same recipient, I don’t want the form to sim

New to Airtable. Been trying unsuccessfully to get started. There are many variables. Solitary Angler is a fly fishing guide service - also a private fly fishing club. We have about 15 fishing guides, about 20 pieces of trout stream (called “water” here), about 80 members, and about 3,000 clients per year. We are in 3 different states - different taxes… The idea is to book water exclusively - one stretch of water, one client, one guide, on any single date, with no double-booking. The main end goal is a reservations calendar, showing available guides, available water, as well as reserved water. There should be a form for creating reservations - perhaps 2 forms - one for the booking person and a request form for potential clients to request availability. It would be nice if the system could produce an invoice for clients. I’m pretty sure AirTable can do all this. Can it? Can you help us?

I’m trying to put together a time tracking system. Primarily need help with rollup summary tables. Probably one time situation, although there could be follow on work at some future point. Here are the current tables: Projects table: allocated time per Month and per Week per Project (we get a contract for project and enter the Hours allocated per Month and Week, contains Project Start Date and End Date) Tasks table: manual task entry with Date, Actual Hours worked Project Hours Logged table: manual daily time entries of hours against projects Work Needed: Project Hours Logged table: would like to replace manual entry with rollup of Hours per Day and Week from Tasks Summary Hours table: rollup of Project Hours Logged by Week and by Month per Project to show what our utilization of Hours used compared to what Hours were allocated within Projects table (by Week and by Month) Example: Projects table contains: Proj1 (name of project) 20 Hours allocated per Month 5 Hours alloca

I’ve just published a blog post about creating and sending emails to Contacts in your Base with a facility to add in Standard Paragraphs. The example uses Integromat to replace placeholders in the text with standard paragraphs, send the result by email and then update the database with the date/time sent and the resulting text. Here’s a link: https://www.onlinedatabase.expert/post/send-emails-with-standard-paragraphs-from-airtable-or-knack-via-integromat Feel free to join the site if you’d like to comment, ask questions in the forum or be notified when additional content is published.

Hey, we have several bases that we have been working on for a few months. We have two freelancers that have been helping us as well. They have been great but also very slow. We sustained assistance to help us get the bases finished up so we can start the next ones and the ones after that. We have a lot of work but need to find the right programmers who can assist us daily/weekly to help us get the work done. We are not in maintenance mode but the freelancers we are working with only have time for maintenance. Our bases are somewhat complex. We are using conditional logic to help guide our staff through complex and many step processes. We are also in need of simple summarys to be added as part of a dashboard so our clients can track where the status of their project is. So, complex language for staff and simple summaries for clients. We ARE NOT looking for someone to help us set up a simle base. We have a lot of it built. We need help in making it function and of course your i
Hey everyone!

I have come across a way to eliminate the blank preview and broken download of uploaded PDF documents. Before uploading the PDF to Airtable I’ll open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro and save the PDF as a PDF/A. I also select the “Settings” option in the “Save As” window and turn on the Apply Corrections option. I have a attached a screen shot of the “Settings” options. I hope this helps someone. If this is already known knowledge, please feel free to delete this post.
Today, Integromat have announced their updated integration with Airtable! I have been recommending Integromat to Airtable users for Automation and Integration for some time and this updated release removes the biggest issue with using the two together - the timeouts experienced when designing processes. I’ve written an introductory blog post about the new version (and have several other posts about Integromat on my site as well) - and I think this is potentially a game changer for Airtable: Database Resources New Airtable / Integromat Integration | Learn more about Cloud Databases Ideas and reviews of Cloud Database platforms My conclusion - I think Integromat can really be seen as the ‘language’ to use to automate your Airtable workflows.
I run a content agency that writes and publishes blog posts for other companies and need to scale to hundreds of blog posts per month from dozens of writers. I am looking for an Airtable consultant who has experience building templates for content production companies to bring ideas that work to the table.

We are a small non-profit and would like to use Airtable to build a database for case management. One of our programs is of a social work nature: we support new and expectant parents who have received a diagnosis of Down syndrome. We do so by offering information, connection to medical and other resources, and providing materials. Our sources of input are: A form on our website that should feed into the database Emails and phone calls with information that is entered manually or with a form The kinds of information we need to track are: First Contact information Information about the parents Information about the baby Referrals made Medical providers Materials provided Notes The trickiest part of this project is that it needs to be designed in a way that volunteers who have limited technical skills can input data and access case records easily.
We 're a nonprofit, and we keep a database of foundations to which we plan to apply for grants. Some of them have no deadlines, while others have 1, 2, 3, or 4 deadlines per year. We record each deadline in a separate column/field (we’re using the free version, so we can’t access the multiple dates feature), with field titles {Deadline 1}, {Deadline 2}, etc. We now have a new field that outputs the next deadline in reader-friendly format, if there is one, based on a thorough nesting of IF() statements. Here, the statement names “IF2”, “IF3”, etc. are for keeping track of things while assembling, but the final assembly at the end just includes the conditional statements. IF1: If Deadline 1 is blank, blank, else IF2 IF({Deadline 1}=BLANK(), BLANK(), IF2) IF2: If Deadline 1 is after today, Deadline 1, else IF3 IF(IS_AFTER({Deadline 1}, TODAY()), DATETIME_FORMAT({Deadline 1}, 'll'), IF3) IF3: If Deadline 2 is blank, IF9, else IF4 IF({Deadline 2}=BLANK(), IF9, IF4) IF4: If Deadline 2 is aft
