I’m trying to enable users filling out a form to create a new contact. For context, I’m building a repository of companies and their points of contact. Currently, the “Add Contact” button only allows selecting from existing contacts already in the repository. Since this form is meant for intake, I want users to be able to create new contacts directly from the form and have them automatically linked to the company. When I reached out to support, they said when using Airtable's form builder, you can only link to existing records in a linked record field. Users won't be able to create a new linked records directly through the form. Are there workarounds or unique solutions to this limitation?

Hello everyone!How can I manage user-level access in Airtable so that each role only sees specific tables or fields? Does Airtable support row-level or column-level permissions?Details:I’m building a structure where I have multiple tables (Operational, Manager, Admin), and each user role should only see the data that belongs to them. For example:Operational users should only see the Operational tableManagers should see both Operational and Manager tablesAdmin should see everythingInterfaces solve part of the problem, because I can show or hide tables and fields, but I want to confirm:Is there any way to implement real column-level permissions?Is there any way to implement true row-level permissions?Are interfaces the only recommended approach to hide fields and restrict access?I want to be sure I am building the structure correctly. Thank you!

Is there a way to have them receive an email receipt of some sort so they know the submission went through?  I think I have it set up to tell them Submission Received, at the end, but they are missing it and then filling it out again.  I’m not sure if it’s a easy fix and I’m just not seeing it or if it’s not there.   And, I guess if it is there and I’m missing it, is it only for paid memberships or free as well.  I have a personal account that is a free account, but had the same issue there as I do with the other.

Hello,I’m new to Airtable and in trouble with airtable forms. For example, here is the situation.I collect weekly requests from my school friends through a Form.In the Form, they write how many of each drink they need and submit it.I then store all of this data in a database.Let’s assume my friend wants to fill out the Form like this: Cola: 5 bottles Water: 154 bottles Orange juice: 30 bottles Wine: 2 bottles Beer: 15 bottles I already have a base where each drink—Cola, Water, Orange Juice, Wine, Beer—is listed.However, it seems that the Form does not allow submitting multiple quantities for a single drink. Since I’ve only been using Airtable for a few days, I may be misunderstanding something.Could you please let me know if my understanding is correct?Or is there something that I can try? Thank you fo

Hello guysI am reaching out to clarify a question regarding your licensing model. I would like to know whether users who will only access and view bases and databases created under a paid account are required to have a paid license as well.In other words: if I have a workspace under a paid plan, do additional users who will only view or consult information (without editing or modifying data) need a paid license, or can they access it for free?Thankyou!

Any way to Isolate or hide data in the base via access or other means?If I create an inteface with linked data from another base, will the base data be visible by those who have base access? This is relevant when attempting to report on the status of legal work where the repoting dashboard interface needs the metrics however not everyone needs to have access to the back-end data related to the specific cases.  I hope I am explaining this so it’s understandable.   

I am using my Samsung S22 Ultra running One UI version 8.0, android version 16 software. Hardware version REV1.0 Airtable app was last updated dec 3 version 6.40.0 I am taking pictures with my mobile device directly through the attachments field in each record.  I have tried using my mobile connection and Wi-Fi connection to see if one is better than the other, but the same issue happens regardless of my connection. logging out of the app, restarting the phone, uninstall and reinstall, tried all of that! I even tried all of those things in a row but still no success. I am able to take one picture after a phone restart, but that is not guaranteed each time.  I am able to upload images from my own photo gallery on my mobile device one at a time. Also able to upload several images at a time by pc on a web browser. neither of these options is time efficient for me at all and I have had to completely change my already delicately tim

I’m trying to filter using linked records but i must have a mental block. Table A is People Records. it is linked to: Table B: Service Records (multi records) Table C: Congregation (one record) Table C is Congregation. It is linked to: Table D: Districts (one record) Note: it is NOT linked to Service Records, but does have a lookup field to Service Records (from People). Table D has lookup fields for: Service Records (from Congregations) I want to report the number of Districts that had at least one Congregation that has a Service Record that meets the following criteria:Service contains “2025 11” {Service is the “Name field”} Service does not contain “Cancelled” {Service is the “Name field”}I also want to report the number of Congregations that have a People Record with a Service Record that meets the same criteria.

Hi,I'm building a Kanban-style interface that needs to display data from two separate sources.Goal: The first column of the Kanban should list Job Listings (Source 1). The subsequent columns should display relevant Candidate Profiles (Source 2). A single candidate would be able to be placed more than once in the Kanban with different Job listing. Essentially, I want to map multiple candidates to a single job listing within the Kanban view.Currently, I'm struggling to set up this dual-source data structure in the interface.Is there a standard or recommended method for achieving this job-to-candidate grouping functionality?

We’ve embedded Airtable to a knowledge base article on Zendesk. When accessing the article on your laptop or desktop, you’ll see all the features that you would normally have like filter, group, etc. at the top of your Airtable base. However, on mobile, those features do not show up, making it difficult for us to support our mobile users. Even selecting the “view larger version” link doesn’t help. Is there a way for us to default it to show the web version of the Airtable base in the embed? Or is this a known bug or product gap?

I have added some new views and a form in the production view, but they are not appearing in the sandbox view, so I am unable to create any automation specifically around the form I created.How do I sync back to the sandbox?

Is it possible to utilise a tracking pixel to allow a third party to track the progression of a record through a series of statuses within Airtable?

no one in our company is receiving a notification when using the @mentions feature in the comments section. Until two days ago this was working flawlessly. I have tested several variations to ensure the issue is not limited to a single user or group. Is anyone else experiencing this problem (12/05/25)

I have some domain data that updates daily, and I need the data to be aggregated by domain as new entries are created each day. I tried using Rollup, but it only links one set of domain records. I have data for the same domain across two more days, but it’s not being summed. How can I automate this? Is there a better approach?

I have a table with a linked field to another table. The linked field refers back to the primary key of the table I am linking back to (eg a unique project number) but that is just numbers and it doesn’t mean anything to most users when searching. Is there any way I can have the linked field search for the name of the project rather than typing in the unique primary key to the record I want to link back to? I have added a lookup field but this only pulls in the project name field once I have linked back using the link field by entering the corresponding unique job number,

Hello, I have a table where all records are auto populated by a Webflow form submission through Zapier. Everything works fine except one small thing. Every time a user sends a form and the main text field has commas in it Airtable splits this record in multiple records. Example: Form Submission: Watchmen #12 "A Clock at Midnight, Its Face Running with Blood, Cover Original Art" Airtable Records: 1st Record: Watchmen #12 "A Clock at Midnight, Its Face Running with Blood, Cover Original Art 2nd Record:Watchmen #12 "A Clock at Midnight 3rd Record:Its Face Running with Blood 4th Record:Cover Original Art Is there any way to avoid this? I just want the first record not the second, third or fourth. Thanks

Hi everyone,we’ve been experiencing an issue with the Airtable app and I wanted to check if others are seeing the same thing. Our technicians — and I can confirm this myself — are constantly being prompted to log in again. Sometimes you can get around it by fully closing and reopening the app, but this gets really annoying during daily work.Is this a known issue? And is there any chance the re-authentication interval could be extended?Thanks in advance!

I’m not sure if this is possible with AirTable, but I’m hoping someone more savvy can help me brainstorm a solution. BACKGROUND: I’m a lawyer, and I’d like to create a database of cases that are cited in briefing, so that I can go back and reference my notes / summaries of each case when they are cited again in a new case. The thing I’m struggling with right now is whether there is a way to associate each case with its Jurisdiction (the court that decided the case) and its Reporter (the publication where the case appears). There is a limited universe of Jurisdictions and Reporters, most of which I have pulled into separate tables already. Cases come from one of the following: The U.S. Supreme Court One of the state supreme courts One of the U.S. Courts of Appeal One of the state appellate courts One of the U.S. District Courts One of the state trial courts Each case from

Any plans to allow the admins to adjust the user data fields similar to how the bases are configured with the ability to select and hide/delete fields we want to see by users depending on the use case? Or use a field selection similar to Service Now’s field selection? Currently what I see on the Admin panel is very limited and I don’t see the ability to adjust (add or delete)  

Hey. Thank you in advance or your help on connecting data between two tables. Linked records does not seem to apply here, but maybe I’m missing something. I am using Airtable to track disciplinary data for a school. We have two tables, one to track Pink Slips, and a second to track historical Disciplinary Cases. The first table “Pink Slips”, is where new pink slips are entered, using a primary field of a sequential ID assigned by Airtable for each new pink slip. One of the fields in this table is “Student ID”. The second table, “Cases” contains a historical record of all disciplinary cases (some resulting from pink slips), akin to a court case, with all data related to the resulting actions, dates, etc… The primary field in this table is “CaseID”. All of the data in the “Cases” table is imported from a school database, and also contains a “StudentID” field. For reasons that i would rather not get into, the two tables cannot be merged into one. As/after the admin e

I have found some posts on printing mailing labels via Page Designer, but they were from 2018. Since it is 2023, I was hoping if there was a way to print on Avery labels with Airtable. I don't have an actual label printer, just a regular old printer and some Avery sheet labels. Be aware that every label would be unique.Example: 

I run a small non-profit and we use Airtable to track all of our donors/volunteers/etc. I want to do address labels for a mailing. We currently have the columns set up as First Name, Spouse Name, Last Name, Street Address, City, State, Zip. Is there an easy way to print labels from Airtable? If the best way is to export, then how do I get around that my columns are too specific (ie I need First, Spouse, Last name to be one line, and City, State, Zip to be one line). Thanks!

I would like to print mailing labels from my database. How to do it?

I have used the block “Page Designer” to create a 3x5 label which I would like to then print to a rolled label printer one at a time or as needed. We will affix these labels to the front of our job folders for internal use. Has anyone used a Rollo Label Printer – Commercial Grade Direct Thermal High Speed Printer or something comparable to accomplish this? It appears this type printer is used mainly for shipping purposes, and I am worried airtable will not communicate well with it for printing purposes. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
