I am writing in from Singapore and over the weekend I am experiencing very slow and laggy performance on AirTable. I have 9 tables in my base, with less than 10 rows in each table. How could I speed up the performance? This is the message I get.

Hi, I have synced my calendar view to my outlook calendar, it is showing the event, the name of the event, date start & end times, but I need it to show all fields including venue and speaker, for example. All it shows is a URL to take me back to the Airtable base for more info. In the Airtable calendar view, I have used the Customise Labels tab to show what fields I want to see when you expand a record. It says "This view is being used in a view share link", but 9 out of 12 fields are not showing in the outlook sync. It's not really functional to have to go back into the Airtable calendar to see all event details when you are syncing it to outlook, otherwise I would just use the Airtable calendar in the first place. Let me know if there is something I am missing. Thanks,

Hi there! So I’m working with the “Simple Booking System” template and trying to set up a workflow between two tables: “Performers” and “Scheduled Stops” . Here’s what I’m trying to do! In the form, there’s an option to either select an existing performer or add a new one. When a New Performer is added I want the to first create a new record in the “Performers” table and then o nce the new performer is created, I want the system to automatically update the “Scheduled stops” table to link to this newly created performer. Is this possible? If so, how can I set it up? Where I’m getting stuck is step two. I figured out how to create a new record but the linked field does not update. PLEASE HELP

I have a collumn where i need to calculate price for a product, it already works it calculates the cell with amount of products times the price. Now I would need to add, if possible, that this function only calculates price if in the other collumn "trošak nositelj" its NOT set (narudžbenica or kupac plaća), and to calculate price ONLY IF the field is set to "budžet" or if its empty. If trošak nositelj is "narudžbenica", or "kupac plaća" the price should stay 0€

Our organization uses Google Workspace and we manage access to resources via permission groups (individual/users are added to google groups and these groups are assigned resources (shared drives, folders, files, etc.). Instead of associating individual email addresses with a base, I would like to associate a permission group to a base. Is this possible?

Unfortunately, I am an Airtable customer, which I am not happy about at all. Today I received a letter where Airtable says that he withdrew 240 dollars from my account. And I have been trying for several hours to find a way to ask technical support - for what kind of services this amount was charged. But it’s stupidly impossible to contact technical support - each button and instruction leads to the next instruction, from it to the stupid chat bot and from it again to the instruction and so on in a circle. There is no way to just write a question and get an answer. Is this even possible to get some support, or do Airtable companies give a **bleep** about their customers so much that they are not interested in talking to them under any circumstances?

Hello, I need help, I use airtable as a database and I upload many documents but a new message tells me that starting January 31st I will not be able to upload documents. It happens to someone else? thank you.

When trying to 2-way sync HubSpot Contacts with AirtabLe, at "Choose my own fields to match on" i'm not able to choose "email" as the field to match... Screenshot: https://gyazo.com/75f9bed77a5beca20eec6cdbe3680e0e The field is in airtable, but it is not being displayed into the HS Data sync... 😔 Why is this?

Hello, I've built my database and it is currently working really well. I am now getting users to help grow the database. However, this information must be verified by me before it is directly updated in the database. Is there a possibility of adding the option of verification? Thanks in advance.

We have customers upload photos for us to estimate projects. Is there a way to zoom in on photographs within the attachment viewer?

Hello Airtable Community, I'm currently working on setting up a Daily Job Report (DJR) table for an electrical services company and could use some guidance on creating a connected form with specific functionalities. Our Objective: We need a form linked to the DJR table for our field staff to complete daily. This form should capture detailed job information for the day. However, the complexities arise with the following requirements: Personnel Selection: Employees should be able to select up to six personnel who worked on the job. These selections need to be tracked and linked back to our original Personnel table. Materials Usage Input: Employees also need to input any materials used during the job. This information should connect back to our Materials table, ideally with the ability to input quantities. The Challenge: We are looking for a way to integrate these functionalities directly within an Airtable form. The key aspects are: Allowing the selection of personnel (up to 6) from a li

I wanted to upgrade my plan to Business but the system doesn't allow me to do that, it says "The email address associated with your account is not eligible to be upgraded to the Business plan. Please ensure you use a valid email domain" I haven o idea what that means

Does anyone have a recommended way to handle spam that comes in through publicly share/embedded Airtable forms? We've had forms published for over a year that never got spam before and then between Dec 20, 2022 and Dec 23, 2022 we got 49,245 spam submissions. It disrupted our workflow and prompted messages that we are over our limit. It generally feels invasive and pretty horrible. Any tips are welcome!

Hey Everyone, I'm having trouble accessing Airtable Academy being an admin of the workspace (Business Plan). Whenever I try to log in, I get the following message: Sorry, you do not have access to this page. I've attached a screenshot of the message below. CC: @kev

Hi all! I'm the product team for a company that produces physical goods (apparel and hard goods). For each new product launch we have multiple phases and deadlines we need to manage: briefing due date, design due date, sample due date, PO date, etc (14 milestones in total). We are managing across dozens of new products at all times and want a way to track our progress through these, not just to list out the phases and deadlines. I've built out our airtable to show the due dates for each phase against each product (see screenshot below), now we're looking for a way for our team check off when a phase is complete and have that visually indicated to us -- for instance have the cells with deadline colored to gray when complete, but also colored to green when due date is within a couple weeks and red when due date is past. We're relatively new (and not yet super sophisticated) airtable users -- so would love whatever guidance you can provide. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I've been exploring various tools for creating mobile apps, and Airtable has proven to be one of the most versatile platforms out there. I wanted to share some best practices that I've found helpful in streamlining the app development process using Airtable. Utilize Pre-Built Templates: Airtable offers a range of templates that can save you a lot of time. Whether you're building a task manager, CRM, or a project tracker, starting with a template can help you get up and running faster. Leverage Linked Records: Linking records between tables is a powerful feature that allows for better organization and relationships between your data. This is particularly useful in mobile apps where you need to connect various types of data. Custom Views for Better UX: Creating custom views in Airtable can help you focus on specific aspects of your app's data. This is especially important when you want to ensure a clean and user-friendly interface in your mobile app. Automation is Key: Airta

I have added a number of new users to a base recently. They are creator level users. Two of the users were already members of other workspaces. They are not expert users- even in the other workspaces. More than once, when they try to login to my base, they go to airtable.com, and they cannot see my base as one of their options. in one instance, i ended up removing them from the base and re-sharing it with them, so they would have a new link to get in. they have shared their screens with me and i cannot see any reason why my base and interfaces wouldn't be appearing. This is really frustrating because it makes uncertain users more tentative about the work i am asking them to do. if they can't even login, they feel like the whole thing is really hard and complex. What is causing this? how can i help these users so that this stops happening?

Hi, I use to have 1 data base for sales, delivered or not, but for some reason I thought It would be faster for searches and stuff to leave the delivered sales in anothe identical table. So I duplicated the table and erased the records that were "to deliver"in the delivered and "delivered" in the non delivered. It didn't worked as planed and now Im trying to go back, but I can't find the way. I just need to merge them back into one. Is there any simple way? ThanksJuan

Currently Airtable limits the a maximum of 20 google calendars to be added to a base. I am in need of adding more than 20 google calendars. In fact searching for a solution where there is no limit to add google calendars to a base in Airtable. Is there a workaround for this?

Click on a URL link within a URL field and open that URL within list view. See VidYard Video here. Am I missing something but I think this should work within the list view? Thanks

The new airtable pricing, is quite, frankly, a joke. We are now dealing with a company that is actively hostile to its user base. This is generally the users within small and medium sized businesses who are growing. I don't know about you guys, but for me, I have recommended 3 other businesses join airtable, have personally onboarded one, and have my own business on it. Not only that, but I heard about this tool from another person who was in the not-for-profit space. A huge slap in the face for us is the change in the Pro Plan, specifically that we have to move to Team Plan which has the following downgrades: Automation runs have been cut in half to 25,000 automation runs. API calls have been reduced from unlimited to 100,000. Attachment space has been cut in half from 20 GB to 10 GB. Multi-source syncing has been eliminated. For a couple of businesses I know, that has killed them and they'll have to move to teams and pay for some of their users who have access to a single interface f

I would like to assign leads within a base to a member of my team, but do not want them to be able to have full access to the base. I would prefer them to only see the base as an interface, and only be able to read and access leads that have been shared with them. Is this possible?

How do I connect Filemaker to an Airtable database using ODBC. Filemaker can work with available Windows ODBC drivers. What is the procedure? Thanks

I love the mobile app. I have two profiles - personal and work and find it time-consuming to sign in and out to change profiles. Is there a shortcut I am missing?

🅰️ On iOS and iPadOS, since April 2, 2024, AirTable has started to malfunction regarding newly attached pictures, as follows. { i[Pad]OS here means either and both of iOS and iPadOS } First off, the here described malfunction only affects "full picture display", as opposed to "thumbnail preview miniature imagery", so thumbnails show up correctly no matter what, and their appearance is essentially as expected. Secondly, the darn actual anomaly ::: ➖ Only affects pictures attached by ⌜the Airtable for i[Pad]OS app⌝, and ➖ Only strikes when attempting a full view of given imagery in again ⌜the Airtable for i[Pad]OS app⌝,• which means the Airtable for Android nor the Airtable webApp seem affected, so those will be perfectly able to view imagery that has turned black (or invisible) in ⌜the Airtable app for i[Pad]OS⌝,• Moreover, any imagery attached by Airtable for Android or the Airtable webApp will perfectly show up in ⌜the Airtable for i[Pad]OS app⌝. ::: As seen in Airtable v10.6.4 (9000
