Hey everyone! I’m Becky and I’m on the Customer Success team at Airtable. I’m currently collecting Airtable users’ favorite tips and tricks so I wanted to reach out and hear directly from our awesome community here! What are some Airtable tips and tricks that you can’t live without? Are there any formulas that you wish you knew about earlier? Are there any Blocks that are game changers for you? What about Zapier integrations that are automating your workflow? One of our favorite tricks? Using the DATEADD formula to automatically return dates after a specified time or date interval. It’s perfect for building out a timeline or schedule for your workflow. For example, let’s say you’re using Airtable to manage a content production cycle where the first draft is due 14 days before the publication date, and the final draft is due 5 days before the publication date. To set this up, you can add the following fields: Publication Date (date f

Over the last year, we’ve been working with SMBs and mid-market teams that want to scale operations using Airtable and AI — but often struggle with fragmented workflows, unclear ownership, and automations that break as they grow.We’ve seen that tools alone aren’t the solution. What actually works is designing a clear operational strategy first, then using Airtable (with OMNI and AI) as the backbone for well-structured workflows.A simple way to visualize this is Santa’s Workshop:inventory, production, locations, and delivery all work because the system is designed end to end — not because of a single tool.We’re hosting a webinar where we’ll walk through:– real workflow rebuilds– common red flags we see in growing teams– how we structure operational architecture in Airtable for scale– how AI fits after workflows are stableIf you’re interested in practical examples and real implementations (not theory), you can check ou

Hello, I have built a tool called AirMap to make it easier to work with and visualise complex schema from an Airtable base. It dynamically generates an ERD from the base you specify, and also allows you to pass in your schema into Google Gemini for analysis. I’d love any feedback on the tool — if it’s addressing a problem you face, or anything else you’d like to see in it. You can use the tool immediately with the preloaded demo credentials, or if you want to try it on your own schema, use the code airtable-community for a trial month. 

Hi everyone!Tyler here from Singular Innovation 👋Thank you again to everyone who joined the Airtable Enterprise Network webinar: Work Smarter with Airtable AI last week. We had a great time walking through how teams can streamline marketing and e-commerce operations using Airtable + AI-driven automations.As promised, we’re sharing the free reusable Airtable base template from the session:🔗 Template Form (to access the base):https://airtable.com/appsQOAxXA4bpjoRM/pagU4EDeB4bZwiZ3A/formThis template is a fully customizable marketing & e-commerce operations base designed to help teams: Manage products, campaigns, assets, and cross-channel activities Automate repetitive workflows and consolidate tracking Generate visibility across teams with clean interfaces Use Airtable AI to analyze content, summarize brief

Hey folks! I just launched ETL++ on the Airtable’s Marketplace, it pulls data from your APIs into Airtable and keeps it fresh with automatic schedules (Starter & Pro). I’m also building custom features for early users, so if you need special mappings/endpoints, tell me!Would love your feedback to make it better.Start here: airtable.com/marketplace/blk6dxkSH2iFsjPDm/etl-plus-plus· Quick start: Welcome | Docs· Support: requests@autometasolutions.com

Put together a video tutorial on how to build a mini invoice generator app with Interfaces.Might be useful for people who want to allow team members to run specific automations, without giving them full access to the base.  Disclaimer: In the video I use DocuPotion to generate PDFs (via an Airtable automation). DocuPotion is a paid third party tool (although you do get a free trial).

Hey everyone! I just launched ETL++ on the Airtable Marketplace. It pulls data from any API into your base with clean field mapping. What it does: Connect to any REST API (Yelp, Google Places, HubSpot, Stripe, your internal tools, etc..) Map JSON fields to Airtable columns visually Smart upserts: updates existing records, no duplicates Schedule auto-syncs every 30 min, hourly, daily, or weekly  I’m actively collecting feedback and will build custom features for users.Give it a try and let me know what you think or what you wish to be added! Check it out here →  

Hello there!There's been a lot of talk about AI agent and MCP servers lately.  I decided to cut through the buzz and figure out what if it can do something useful for my work with Airtable. I decided to spend a weekend researching this and honestly got frustrated with how not user friendly it all was. Make introduced MCP servers - but it was not very useful. Zapier was pretty good, but did not have ability to create tables and fields.There were 2 code projects for Airtable MCP servers (project 1, project 2). I can code but most of my clients or my channel viewers at first mention of installing coding environment locally will just check out. After some more digging I found a way how to set up remote MCP server

This walkthrough will show you how to:Use AI to extract data from a text field Convert that data into an array Use that array in a Repeating Group to create multiple records in a different table---Let’s assume that your goal is to:Extract the list of hobbies from a text field Create one record per found hobby in a Hobbies table Link it back to the triggering recordHere’s what our final result will look like and the example base with the full setup can be found here!

 This topic has been discussed a ton on this forum and people still have trouble with generating PDFs in Airtable. So this guide shows the different ways I generate clean PDFs from Airtable: Printing from Grid / Gallery / List / Calendar views Printing from Interfaces Page Designer (and where it breaks) Google Docs templating via Make Google Sheets templating for variable line items An HTML method. If you’ve ever struggled with invoice PDFs, long line items, or getting clean printable layouts out of Airtable, this might help.That last method is very powerful. I've printed 400 page compendiums with multiple nested tables and complex uniquely formatted reports using HTML.Formatt

For anyone else who hasn’t had a perfect experience with the new Custom Interface Extensions, or like me has gotten this terrible message:{“error”: “FORBIDDEN”,“message”: “You can only run your development block in the original base where it was created.”}I have found a super easy solution. If you ask Omni to build you a simple custom interface extension, you can then go and hit “Edit Source” (right below the “Share Interface” button) and change the script however you’d like. I fed it to Claude, had Claude insert itself into the interface (plus it has Airtable MCP) and now have a simple RAG for my Airtable base. But you can really change the script however you’d like, without going down the CLI/Blocks SDK route.
