Hi, I know that there are many questions in this community about Slack integration. I have built a Private Slack App that allows us to do some basic operations using the Airtable API. Here are some screenshots of the slack app: It is available as /slair . You have to configure your API Key and Application ID . Currenty supported Airtable integrations . Sample Add Record (All fields will show up as Text field :frowning: )

If you are like me and want to use your iPad with Airtable (not the almost useless app but the web interface) this si what I have discovered; BLOCKS are working and you can even print from page designer block! The Send Grid Block works! Print view is not working, you get a blank document… too bad but as Airtable constantly remember us “you can create you own print layouts with page designer block”… The Icon of “open in the Airtable app” will come and go on the top of your page even when you have requested Desktop site from setting. (Safari settings) Views under tables are not always scrolling properly but you can bypass this limitation by typing the name of the view you are looking to display. (I use this “shortcut” quiet often on my Mac) Same with side scrolling… you just have to open the record you want to see (too bad if you wanted to see more than one record or a full set with SUM or AVG calculus) you can move on the righ

Looking for someone to lead a workshop/seminar on using airtable, primarily for inventory management. 30-50 attendees.

We are looking to hire an Airtable consultant to help us review, error check, and improve our Airtable base. The base includes moderately complicated formulas and functionality related to time entry and billing and will require the use of some integrations and automation tools. If interested, kindly let us know your experience, availability and fees.

Below is a Form link to vote on Airtable features! Thought I would (quickly) throw this together and see if other users would be interested in something like this, or, find it useful to track interest in the top Feature Requests of the Airtable Community. I only added a few to get it started. If not, maybe I will make it a Universe base for others if useful. Here is a form to submit your own votes. Feel free to submit feedback in the form or here!

Hello, We are a Vision Home (www.visionhome.biz), we furnish luxury homes that are for sale. I have built my business around our Airtable base and we are exceeding its capabilities. We need help to improve our base to handle inventory tracking using a barcode system, project management, CRM and sales pipelines, and also to give us detailed financial reports. The base we have now is working but it is very primitive. I also want to link the base to some type of POS software as well. I have a feeling that as we grow we will need to continuously improve the base. We need to find someone that fits the needs and discuss pricing as we have never hired someone for this. Thanks in advance, Austin - Austin@visionhome.biz

Hi everyone, Originally I started making this for my wife, but she decided to use another app instead so I figured I would finish it out and share it. https://airtable.com/shrXDCU2NXyGNLVV5 Summary This base is designed to hold recipes and then use those recipes to schedule meals and create shopping lists using the IFTTT applet with the trigger “When a new record is created in view”. It’s a great way to keep track of recipes you like. The meal planner uses a simple form view so that you can choose existing recipes and then the date on which you want to make them. The shopping list view takes what meals you have scheduled and looks up the ingredients. This view only shows what meals are within the next week, but if you shop more or less than once a week, you can adjust accordingly in the filter. While the shopping view sho

Hi! I am a small business owner and my business is a staffing agency where I have over 100+ contractors for hire. I am looking for someone to develop/code and create a specific airtable base that will work for exactly what I need with my company. I have achieved what I am looking to be done in Google Sheets and I am in hopes that someone can assist me in making it happen using Airtable. Details below: I am looking to create a MASTER SPREADSHEET that shows employee’s availability. I would like for each Employee to be able to access and update their own availability by blocking off unavailable dates in the table. From there, once they block off particular dates, it would then automatically populate over onto the Master Schedule for me to view. I can then see all employee’s availability and filter as needed. I would like for the employee’s to only be able to see THEIR availability sheet, and for me to only be able to view the master schedule. I would like to use Ai

I am looking for a way to merge my data i have. I have; spreadsheet with assets spreadsheet with ledger payments spreadsheet with document information and documents attached I need to do a lookup by word and link the ledger payment and/spreadsheet with doc information to an asset table with the spreadsheet with assets. i also need to load photographs of the assets that i have downloaded but the spreadsheet with assets does have the photograph number so i believe it can be done. I am in a rush so i need to do this quickly.

The Computer Museum of America (Roswell, Georgia) is using AirTable to make a timeline of the digital revolution. Thanks and a tip of the hat to DragonDrop—found on the AirTable Community Forum— for assisting in the export. The photograph shows just one decade of what will eventually span from the Abacus to AI & ExaScale computing. IMG_9497|375x500

I’ve been working on a search concept for Airtable that has kept me awake a few nights. One of the [many] problems with universal search (i.e., a search that spans multiple bases and multiple tables) is the complex types of fields and content you’ll find when the entire galaxy of data possibilities will be encountered. You have to embrace all that Airtable could ever store and in a way that is not only findable but indexable in a reliable and compressed manner. Another problem; Airtable is fun to use. Users don’t want to search in a completely disengaged web page away from their data. If you’re at all like me, you probably want your search results displayed like any other information objects are displayed in the platform you’re searching. I struggled with many aspects of an open (but secure) and easy-to-understand architecture. One of the biggest aspects of this was answering a basic question - if you had an index of all your data, where would you feel comfo

Need help reformating existing database without losing data and connecting to other bases.

I was asked recently by a client if it was possible to send people who’d booked onto an event a Calendar entry (so they don’t forget) in response to their booking. In the blog post linked below, I show how you can do this with Integromat: Send a Calendar Entry to confirm a booking There are ways to link Airtable calendars with other calendars - some covered in here - but this deals with sending a calendar entry to an outside person booking onto an event (of course the process could apply to any date/time based records). I hope people find this useful - feel free to comment on the post I you wish.

I’ve just published an article on Online Database Expert about sending VCard files from a database using Integromat: https://www.onlinedatabase.expert/post/send-a-vcard-from-a-database-with-integromat Check it out if you want to know more!

Hey there! Looking for an expert to help my content team build out a production calendar using Airtable. We currently use our Airtable instance to track a fairly complex editorial calendar, and we’d like to add check boxes for each task, and then configure formulas to trigger a particular status when a box has or hasn’t been checked. We estimate that this would be a half day of work. Thanks for your interest! Margaret
