+11I’d like to use the Airtable app as my primary document Scanner.
I love using Airtable to track expenses. And, f course, it is nice to include an image of the related receipt or invoice.
Airtable’s iOS app allows users to snap pictures using your phone’s camera, however, it would be great if I could use the app to create a “scanned document”. Apps like Evernote and DropBox do this well so I typically use those apps to scan my documents but it would be nice to skip this step.
Thanks Airtable!
I second this request. To be able to organize all tax receipts and donation receipts without leaving airtable would be a great addition.
Do it with zapier? I do, and it works really well. I trigger the zap with a new file in a dropbox folder. Granted - that doesn’t allow me to do it “without leaving Airtable”, but I do skip the step of attaching manually.

Jan, any chance you could explain how? thx!

@Jan_Salomonsson, Can you please explain how you do this? thx!
I believe Airtable would attract many people from their mobile interface if we could just snap a picture of a receipt just like the scanners do. Most of us have to report this to our companies to get reimbursed. The problem lies in the fact that these reports get printed…

@Ricardo_Martinez
You can already do that with the attachment field on the Airtable Mobile app:
+5I agree. It would be great to add an attachment to airtable through a scanner via the add attachment pop-up box. Right now I have to scan, save to my computer, then upload. I’d love to skip those intermediate steps.
+6Is there any update on whether Airtable is considering adding a native scanner app to their web based application? The multistep process of scanning a doc and then uploading it to the field in Airtable is really annoying.

i think it would cost much more than 24 dollars a month my friend
+13Hey there, Hannes from the miniExtensions team here.
We have a range of automation workflows that could help with this. For example, you could simply snap a picture and upload it to Airtable using their app, and then have our automations turn that into a PDF (we actually have a couple of automations that can do this in different ways, e.g. HTML to PDF or URL to PDF). You could also run character recognition on images using our GPT assistants-powered automation! There's a lot of functionality to discover and our support team would be happy to give you a hand if you have any questions!
