Is it possible to create one collumn that contains name with a hyperlink combined?

I know how to do it manually. Is there a way how to do it automatic?

I can easily do this in bulk on google sheets. But when trying to paste the data from sheets to airtable it just shows the name without the hyperlink.

How do I do this automatic?

Use a formula field to format your hyperlinks into `[LINK TEXT](URL)`, for example, `[Google](www.google.com)`, and then use an automation to paste that value into a rich text field (a long text field with rich text enabled)

Ah, you need to reference the formula fields, so something like:

"[" & {namecopy} & "](" & {Website} & ")"
