Builders Board

I’ve now touched down again, gotten over the obligatory cross-country-flight-induced cold, largely muddled through the [DST-intensified] time change, and begun the process of establishing an East Coast base of operations. (Bridging the San-Francisco-to-Southside-Virginia cultural shift would have been impossible in so short a time — quite likely impossible, one suspects,* regardless the time allowed.) Accordingly, I should be increasingly present in Airtable community and increasingly available in general for assistance and consultation. I’m working my way through the backlog of promised responses — but, given this transition has taken so much longer than I first expected, feel free to remind me you’re still waiting. My mobile, annoyingly, doesn’t appear to have survived the journey, so for the next day or two the best way to reach me is through a PM here or an email to wvannhall@paladesigns.com.

I’m looking for assistance setting up automated Airtable searches through integrations with Integromat or Zapier (or other). I would like to create complex formulas for searching a product database triggered by a new customer entry into a separate database. I’m looking first for guidance on if what I’m looking to do is possible, and if so, the time and cost it would take to complete the set up. Thanks, Cristy

I have 3 laboratory instruments that I want to push data into a table with timestamps. I will work up a more detailed data specification before we start. Interface is RS-232 over Blutooth and Infrared. The parsing data is very clear and detailed documentation for the right expert to implement this solution quickly. The baud rate is very slow, and total record is probably only 14k . Want it to push a data table to Airtable on my phone. Only advanced programmers who really know what they’re doing with this API, I’m looking for a finished product with some alpha and beta changes.

Need to work with an Airtable Consultant that can create a reporting process.

A couple of hours ago, while I was working on this base and post, I decided to take a break and go for a walk on the beach. I got as far as the shipwreck of the William H Sumner, exposed by Hurricane Florence, before heading back. Once I got here, I sat down to finish this post and discovered @Justin_Barrett had beaten me to it. Justin’s solution is preferable to mine, as it is more general-purpose, but I’ve decided to post anyway, as drop-in code for anyone with a specific need to restart numbering each day. For those of you who can stomach having to

I recently moved my work history notes into Airtable, and wanted a way to see at a glance how long I worked at each company, including time spans for those companies I’m still working with (I used to work full-time, but starting in 2012 my work became a mix of part-time and freelance/contract jobs). The end product is a clean listing of years and months1, as this sample illustrates: The full table includes three hidden formula fields: {End Date} defaults to TODAY() if no specific date is entered in the {To} field; otherwise it uses the {To} date. {Years} and {Months} run calculations based on {End Date}. The {Length} field puts it all tog

I’m using Airtable pro. I have 4 forms in a workspace that fill 3 tables. I need to have the data from the 3 tables integrated into one gallery that has cards that pull info from the 4 tables based on an assigned unique ID. The forms and the gallery need to be embedded into my wordpress site. Please contact me if you think this job is a good fit for you. -Terri

4 Teir Gantt, Single Dependency I really want to mate the Gnatt (beta) block work. I’ve spent some time trying to work around the circular references, and in-ability to look past a the first record link. I got the start date for a task to adjust up to the 4th task in a dependency chain, hooray. The timeline block reflects the correct start date, unfortunately, the Gantt block sets any task that is dependent on a dependent task to the 1st of the year. I’m hope new column field types or other Gnatt friendly updates are made in the near future.

I am looking for someone to set up my page designer block for me. I have a construction company and we are currently using Airtable to control budgets however the one piece we are lacking is having a PO document that we can send to our subcontractors and vendors. I would say that our base is pretty robust and our uses of this platform are likely to be considered mid-level to complex… Next step would be a screen share interview (15 min) Book a screen-share here Thanks Shane

Trying to write a formula that will recognise a word value in one field then if one or more word values are meet in the second field then it returns a value in a third field. This needs to be able to meet several values in both the first and second fields and return a different value in the third field depending on the condition of the first and second fields.

We’re hiring an Airtable (or other recommended software) expert to help us develop a more intuitive, aesthetically pleasure and useful report for our clients. Ultimately, the ideal outcome for this project is to be able to provide a report to our customers that is… Easy and quick to assemble, with much of the summary, for example, being automated by formulas.

Hi all, I am look to simplify the following: As you can see there are numerous duplicate entries for each size available for an individual name and for each size there can be multiple materials. I would like to split this data up so that there is only one entry of the name that links to the available sizes, then each size linking to the relevant materials with prices. Feel free to get in touch for further details if you want a quick project.

This is a card based calendar, powered by an Airtable. It includes helpful details such as countdowns, Google Calendar links, auto-magical sorting. See the GitHub repo and demo at https://github.com/Arty2/aircalendar This script and its related Airtable base may change breaking compatibility. Designed with multilingual websites (i18n) in mind. Underlying code is quickly hacked together, but fully functional and should work even with missing fields. PS. Dear forum admins: “can’t put images in a post” is not that useful when not knowing what one has to do before using images. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I was looking for a meeting collaboration tool for a “pains, gains and goals” brainstorming exercise. I looked at a number of tools and all of them were quite a bit more complex than I wanted. Luckily for me, I have a subscription to Table2Site and @poehah was available to answer my questions on Saturday! Feel free to check out both the site (this is a demo page, so feel free to enter results): https://table2site.com/site/brainstorming Here is the related base: Airtable

Hey guys, I’m using Airtable as a kind of database for a ReactJs project. I’m pretty new to React and javascript in general and so this might be trivial for a seasoned developer. But I wanted to share one approach you can take to integrating Airtable into your React App. Here’s the tutorial: http://www.automationfuel.com/airtable-reactjs/ And here’s the github repo: https://github.com/focuswish/airtable-react I hope someone finds it useful :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello I am seeking assistance from someone who has proven experience developing complex inventory management solutions within airtable. We have built our own custom inventory tracking system and it works great, and has all of the information we need, but we are getting stuck when trying to summarize the data in a digestible way. We know exactly what we need, but need someone to create it for us in a manageable amount of time. We use airtable for ALL kinds of things, so I am sure we will call upon the right partner often. Cheers, Marie

Hi folks, I manage a growing database of investors that I just migrated from the Google Sheets/Forms platform. However, I have not found a way to send mail merged emails using attachments. Each email should say Dear (first name) and be a unique email to just that person. This would be a short problem-based project, but I would like to find someone seasoned to help me grow my database functionality in other areas as well with future work.

I have a ton of same type of XMLs that I would like to drop into the XML block. I just have no idea how to set up the XPATH block itself to grab the correct information. I attached an image of what the XML code looks like below.

Having had quite a few questions about an earlier blog post I wrote about creating checklists in Airtable using Zapier, I decided to write a new version using Integromat instead (which makes it much simpler, requiring no code): Database Resources Creating Checklists with Airtable and Integromat | Learn more about Cloud...

Hi Everyone. I work for a technology company and I’ve been tasked to find someone that can help us now on an existing base and moving forward creating new ones. This is an hourly contract/freelancer role. If interested, please email jessicaacer2@gmail.com with your details, experience and rate. Thank you. Jessica

Wanted to share a great experience I’m having with ReportBin. Use case: we work with athletes and provide them with career coaching to help them figure out what their post-competition life will look like. within a broader curriculum, we have individual homework assignments which are collected either through Airtable forms (when simple) or one-off custom forms built from scratch. after the athlete completes an assignment, it then needs to be reviewed by their career coach and the athlete which is where ReportBin has been a total life saver. after setting up the template for each assignment, we were able to use zapier to build a workflow where as soon as an athlete submits something, we generate a ReportBin report and the link gets written back into our Airtable. the report looks like this. i started working with Sam at ReportBin a few months ago a

Hey all, excited to tell you about BuiltOnAir, a project that’s been in the making for a little while now, and now going live. I think it’s awesome, but would love to hear your thoughts also :thinking: What is it? BuiltOnAir is a hub for Airtable happenings. We made it to become a place to bring together, highlight, and empower the people building things with Airtable - so if you’re here reading this, this is for you. BuiltOnAir is (currently) comprised of these main elements: A podcast: A weekly production highlighting an expert, professional, or enthusiast using Airtable in their work. We hear their story with Airtable, then we get a peek into their work with a “show and tell” of a base they’ve created (usually with a whole slew of nifty ha

Hey all, I’m really excited to share something that has been a long time in the making and one I think will help a lot of people. I’m curious: how many of you use Zapier for your Airtable integrations? I wanted to get a general poll for a sense of how people are using automation with Airtable: POLL: Do you use Zapier for your Airtable integrations? I have no need for Zapier Nope, I use another platform No, but I might in the near future Yes, and it does absolutely everything I want it to Yes, but I need it to do more (it lacks k
