I have a grid view in my base shared with a specific group of people, it includes all records with a date/time within five days in the future AND all records in the past.For easy viewing and sorting, is it possible to group the records into two groups:Group 1: all records dated for today and five days in the futureGroup 2: all records to date before today.Is this possible?

I'm building out a base for our ecommerce team where were sharing and organizing updated product iconography. However, in either a grid or gallery view, the attachments are not showing previews. These are small files (less than 100k) and have tested PNG, SVG and JPG formats with the same result, just a generic image icon. Clicking into the icon opens a pop-up frame that shows the image against a charcoal background (not great for transparent PNGs) so the files are there and apparently intact - just not showing on a grid or gallery view. Any ideas? 

Why this very important feature only available for Enterprise plan? Does anyone know when will this available to other plans?  

Hi, I have an airtable form which I shared using a link. But when I preview my website it shows Airtable.com refused to connect. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

I need to contact forum mods in the community; is there a specific way to contact them or do I have to email Airtable support?

Hey folks, I wonder if you can help me understand why my Customer Portal Airtable base published on the Airtable Universe is not showing up on searches. Thanks! P.S. Sorry if this is not the right place to post this, but I couldn’t find an Airtable Universe section.

TL;DR - trying to determine best way to notify users as new locations come online within their specified location radius. More context: I created Charity Makeover and am in process of building an Airtable app to enable people in other cities to run these events. It’s similar in concept to Startup Weekend only focused on building stuff for local charities. I’m essentially looking to replicate some of the functionality of Meetup in that I want to give prospective volunteers the ability to get notified when a new Charity Makeover event happens within their locale. My question is: is there a simple way to accomplish this type of pub/sub setup with geolocation or does it need to be created from scratch? I’ve been researching terms like geofencing and proximity-based notifications to try and find some SaaS based way of accomplishing this rather than developing it. I have to imagine this is a common need with geo-based searches… Haven’t fou

Hello, all! First time asking here since usually I read through all possible solutions for my problems before posting a question.The last time I made a form was prior to the current updated interface. I had some old databases that I duplicated so I don't need to create new setups and forms. However, when I edited my old form I saw that I had disabled it prior. But now I could not find the setting to re-enable the form despite being able to generate new links for it. The only way for me to make a working form is to make a new one from scratch.Was this feature removed from free plans or is it a bug? Thanks!

When creating a sharing link to any of the views (Grids, calendars, etc) within my Base, I have the option to allow viewing only from a particular @domain. Is it possible to add multiple domains to this option, or can I only designate one?Or, I can only designate one domain per share link, but I can create multiple share links, each for a specific domain?

I have an Airtable table that I'm using as a library to organize many documents, most of which are PDFs. The organization features (tagging, categorizing, etc.) are all working great. However, Airtable's PDF viewer is just not nearly as good for me as my preferred open (Adobe's Chrome plugin).I used to be able to have a button or formula field that would allow me to open each record's attachment in the browser's default app by extracting the attachment's URL. However, I understand that attachment URLs now change frequently for security reasons, so this solution no longer works. How can I open a PDF attachment in my web browser rather than in Airtable's viewer? This seems like something that should be easy. Note that I can download the PDF and open it on my desktop as a second-best solution. 

Hi, I run a market and use Airtable for Applications, bookings & payments. I have very basic knowledge of Airtable and zero programming experience.Previously when using Stripe & Zapier I could automatically update a record in my table when a payment was made by using the client’s email.We have had to switch to Square recently and I can get Airtable to create customers in Square but I can’t work how to get it to update a record once payment has been made as I can’t see any unique identifier such as the email.Can anyone point me in the right direction?Thanks

Hi there! I’d appreciate any ideas about how to handle this data entry need: I have a form (external users) where one of the fields needs to collect assessor’s parcel numbers. Users tend to input this in very inconsistent formats, so I wanted to make this a multi-select or use a linked record from another table to force consistent formatting. However, there are about 29k potential parcel numbers to select from, and Airtable is not handling a CSV upload of these numbers into a new table (it crashes out even though the CSV is <2MB). I’d take all kinds of solutions, including: A way to add 29k options to a multi-select A better way to upload a single-column, 29k row table to use for linked records A way to force a 000-000-000 format for a text entry field (however, I’d need a way to have multiple parcel numbers entered with this format in this field, as each record could have multiple parcels listed) Or any other cl

I need to build an event registration system. Only I and a colleague will be able to get into the base and view all the data. But we need to put a form online that people who want to register can go to and complete. I’ve tested this already and it works great — with one problem. Our forms may become long enough that they can’t always be completed in a single session. We’ve done this in the past with the PHP powered site that we’re trying to replace. When users first come to the site, they get a token that allows them to come back later, find the record that they started, and complete the form. Is something like this possible in Airtable? This seems to be the only thing that might keep us from doing this project in Airtable very successfully… Will

I am uploading my images to AWS S3 for the product images. Products will have multiple images so how can I get multiple URLs in the same field?

Afternoon,I am trying to find a way to create a series of symbols (see attached) that I can use in my base. Unfortunately, these are not standard symbols that one could get as an emoji for example. These are all cricket scoring symbols that I am trying to use in the cricket scoring base that I am creating. Any help would be welcome.Thanks in advance 

I decided at one point to create an extra table to keep some additional records related to another table. What I did is to create a new table and add a column linking to the original table. So there is supposed to be a 1-1 relationship between the rows. Unfortunately, this has not worked out because when I update the main table, the linked table does not get updated. So I want to merge the data from the extra table back into the main table. That is easy to do outside of airtable because it is a simple table join. I did it in R in a few minutes. However, I am not sure about loading the merged table back into airtable as I think it will lose all the links to other table I setup.The main table looks like:ID (a formula), Year, Semester, Course, ...The extra table looks the same but beyond the first few columns (which together uniquely determine the row), it contains different data, e.g., enrollments, etc.Is there a way inside of airtable to merge the columns

Hello everyone,I’m here to ask you about a specific use case for which my searches didn’t get me any good results.I have a table of video documents where there is a duration field, with length written in the format hh:mm:ss.I have a second field called duration format, in which I wish for 3 options to be available: under 30 min, between 30 min and 1h, over 1h.Is there a way to fill this second field (duration format) automatically based on the value of the first field (duration)?Thank you in advance for your help and answers!Best regards to everyone!Charlie

Hello community,I'd like to track extension errors in Sentry. The default setup (below) that works for a sample react project doesn't work in an Airtable extension -- the events don't get captured in Sentry.import * as Sentry from '@sentry/react'; Sentry.init({ dsn: DSN_STRING, environment: process.env.NODE_ENV, tracesSampleRate: 1.0, });Is there something else to be configured for the extension since the code is remotely deployed in Airtable server?

Hi everybody I have tried the iCal connector to Google Calendar. It is a very useful feature and I was very happy when I saw it but, unfortunately, it looks like Google is not properly updating the information. The first time you make the connection it works fine but afterwards, if you make changes in the database, these changes are not reflected in Google Calendar. If you try to connect it again you must introduce something new in the URL provided by Airtable so that Google Calendar understand it is a new Calendar and does not use the cache. So, the calendar is out of sync as soon as you change any information in the database. Althouhg I think this is a Google problem (there are some forum about it https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/calendar/ixQnzHmWDSk), it would be fantastic if you could do something about it because this feature is som

When two-way sync was originally announced, the message was that it was being beta tested with Enterprise accounts but that it would eventually launch for Pro accounts as well. With the release today and a quick look at the pricing page and help articles, it seems like this was walked back and two-way sync is no longer coming to Pro accounts. Is this true?Even the marketing copy from the email says that this will help teams of all sizes:It's highly unlikely that independently funded / small orgs can afford the price of an enterprise account. Will we get two-way sync for Pro accounts? Would love some clarification on this. Thank you!
