*Original post has been updated to include a few more notes and screenshots*If you prefer working in the Airtable desktop app and wish you could create shortcuts that opened a base or interface in the desktop app instead of a browser window... I have somewhat of a workaround.The desktop app is essentially a web app. You'll be creating your own web app(s) using Safari 17 or higher. This method will require a Mac running Sonoma or Sequoia. Log into Airtable on Safari and navigate to the desired base or interface page that you want your web app to open to. (You'll be creating as many of these as you need, each opening to a specific base & table view or interface page)Copy the full URL in the address barIn the menu bar, navigate to File>Add to Dock... 

Hey allI am looking for an AT specialist who has experience with building out complex inventory systems specific to manufacturers with complex product SKU management.The Base will need to talk to my other Base which is a marketplace where users of the inventory systems will be ordering from.I would need to see examples of previous projects to see experience.Let me know if keen and can discuss further 

I run a custom design build remodeling company. I have created a prototype of an estimating tool in excel, but it is too limited for our needs. I am wondering if Airtable is the answer. The estimating tool will tool will require several bases that could build one on another. -Common Items -Assemblies of items into unit costing -Gathering of unit costs with take off into estimated -Ability to gather, summarize and parse the costs by building div and type. We don’t need an estimating software to run the business; we have that in CoConstuct and other industry standard applications. We just need a place to store and access our custom data for estimating. I can provide a more detailed explanation and examples of the data sets and the needed output. We are interested in a developer who will work with us in a scrum framework. I have been searching for several years for a solution, but have yet to find anything with the specific functionality

Here's something I created using automations with a script to allow me to get quick totals on any table view for specific values. I have 2 cases listed below and have found it to be a great way of collecting totals without having to create other linked records, rollups etc. Of course I have to hit the recalculate checkbox to get my total for each row, so it's not live, but I can live with that.  Also, you have to make sure your references are correctly spelled (Source Table, Source View, etc).  I hope others find it useful. I've attached the javascript below.let inputConfig = input.config(); let record_id = inputConfig['SummaryRecID']; // Reference the "Summary Table" let summaryTable = base.getTable("Summary Table"); // Fetch the specific record in

Hi Airtable Community,I urgently need clarification on the best Airtable plan for selling templates. I recently had a video call with the Airtable team, but my main concern wasn’t fully addressed, and I need to make a decision ASAP since I’m actively selling a product.My situation:I’m creating and selling Airtable templates that my clients should be able to fully edit—entering data, modifying records, updating menus, etc. Essentially, they need to use the template independently within their own workspace.I know that the Teams plan does not provide this level of flexibility, so I need to determine whether the Business or Enterprise plan is the right fit. While I have pricing details for the Business plan, I still don’t know the monthly cost of the Enterprise plan.My question:Which plan allows me to sell templates where my clients can fully edit and use th

Hello, Looking to create a system to track inventory, sales, expenses, events, and do accounting for a collectible trading card business.  I've created all the basic functionality and now want aStreamlined inventory management system that tracks multiple purchases and sales of the same items at different prices.Cards are sold at specific events and want to be able to track and run reports to show what sold where, and basic analytics.Do basic accounting (which is simple in excel, but challenging in airtable) and reports.Potentially connect inventory to an external data provider to push and pull lists and look at recent sales for price comps. For in person sales, have a form on an ipad for people to enter personal information to join our database. I'm sure there will be more past this, but here are the main hurdles.  Thank you,John

Hello! Powersave - a chrome extension that allows to save to Airtable right from the browser, should now display a rich text editor for all text fields which have rich text formatting enabled.You can use markdown shortcuts in the editor and all Airtable markdown subset features are supported - bold text, italics, links, lists, headers, even checklists.Powersave can also update records as you browse so this can effectively be used for content management...

Hi everyone,I’ve been working on an overengineered but functional solution to send SMS reminders for my school’s classes. It’s a little unconventional, but it works for now! I’d love to hear any feedback or suggestions for optimising it further, especially from anyone with experience automating communications through Airtable.The Problem:We have hundreds of students across dozens of classes every day, and sending SMS reminders manually is no longer feasible. Hiring a communications manager isn’t in the budget yet, and solutions like Twilio are not cost-effective for us in New Zealand.The Current Workflow:Airtable as the Data Hub:Airtable stores all our class schedules, student rosters, and contact info.An automation sends an email 8 hours before each class, containing:The subject line: Key details like the class time, group name, and

Hi, After spending 20 years in the Salesforce community, I have moved on and have become enamored with Airtable. I am getting started in being an active part of this community and am sharing my efforts at scotthemmeter.com. I wanted to share my latest blog post which provides a workable example for obtaining Crypto prices from the Coinbase Pro API and populating it into Airtable. See the link below. https://scotthemmeter.com/2021/09/28/get-crypto-prices-with-airtable-scripts/ Hope you like it! Scott

I'm building a database for students in college. So the main table has Student ID, Name, Course 1, Course 2, Course 3, and so on, up to the highest number of courses a student is taking. I then want to create individual tables for each row in the main table in which I could report on student's progress in their respective courses each semester. Eventually, I want a reporting table with progress updates from all students that I can sort using semesters to report on students' progress in different semesters.I thought this should be the easiest thing to do but I have not been able to accomplish it. Can anyone point me to a guide or explain the main steps to do so. What are the limitations to this approach and is there a better way to do so?

I'm trying to use the trigger function in Airtable to determine the webhooks module in Make.com, but it's not working. I'm using the paid versions of both Airtable and Make.com. Interestingly, the same functionality works perfectly on another page in Airtable. I have no idea what the issue could be. What should I check to resolve this problem? Please help me.

The automation currently we are using only works on new records. Is there any way to push the automation to run on existing records in the same table? Right now, when form received, it will create new record. Goal is when form received, it will auto fill out the existing records in the table. Appreciate your help. Thank you!

Hey all!Wanted to share something we built: a plugin for connecting Gravity Forms to Airtable.Gravity Forms is one of the more popular form builders in WordPress, and we (Gravity Wiz) build plugins for Gravity Forms (yes, plugins for plugins, inception). If you build using Gravity Forms, this Airtable connection lets you send Gravity Forms data straight into Airtable and use Airtable's features with that data. We wrote a blog post about the connection here.If have questions, hit me with them. And I'd love to hear if there are any Gravity Forms builders in here. 😄

I'm starting to get really good at the scripting thing and am really having fun with this platform. If you aren't paying for the upgraded plan to be able to use scripting, you should consider it. There are so many things that I have been able to fix or create that I couldn't with the general platform for general tasks.As I am building up a large number of automations, I sometimes have difficulty remembering what I may have done 2 weeks ago, etc. I have a paid ChatGPT account and asked it to document my code and to put it into dokuwiki format so I could host it on our wiki page for other team members to help debug, etc.It's pretty incredible how well it does it.  You can see the output here: https://wiki.chattlab.org/code_breakdown for one of the sample cases.In another case, I asked it to look at the code and make a text based flowchart of it, and it gave me the block below.  It's s
