Hi- How do you create a table to store your most URLs?  Thanks!!

I use airtable forms to capture customer data, I have the form embedded on my website, but it suddenly stopped working. I get this error whenever I try to use the form. Any help on fixing this would be greatly appreciated. 

Hi I am trying to create a form in Airtable so it fills out the fields and creates an invoice. I thought this would be really simple but I am stuck adding multiple products and multiple quantities. Basically, I have a table called ‘Prices’ this has all the products, product codes, prices, colours and sizes, I then have another table called ‘Invoices’, in this table we have the fields called, product, qty, size and location. From the '‘Invoices’ table, we lookup the product code from ‘Prices’ and display it in the product field, we then add our qty, size and location (This is taken from another table called ‘Location’ and it can be multiple selections). Finally it calculate the cost of the cost of the product, add the cost of the locations and gives me a total figure. So far this appears to work and I don’t see it being an issue creating an invoice as it’s all on 1 row. What I am can’t workout is… How do I add more products with multiple quantities (Some of the products may even be the

Hello! How do i configure a automation in a way that when my action is triggered, the automation adds a user (people) to a already existing and specific cell? Please have a look at my screenshot, thank you so much!!!!Greetz, Bas

Hi there,I would like to calculate the extra hours I've worked each day by implementing a formula field. I've currently listed records with "Date", "Start" (date, time, timezone), "End" (date, time, timezone).How do I make sure the formula only lists the extra working hours? Can I implement a formula where weekend days are calculated differently then weekdays?Thanks for your help! 

Hi, We use Airtable as a database & are currently using Stacker to project it visually (front) but we don’t like Stacker UX & design. Is there a way to directly use Webflow as the front of our Airtable database ? If yes, would like support from the community on how we can do that :slightly_smiling_face: Thanks in advance !

I have a use case where I am entering data from an outside source. These records will later change on this outside source and I would like to be able to update the AirTable record based on these changes.The problem that I am running into is that you seem to need the AirTable record ID to do this - which I won't have. I am wondering if it is possible to do any of the following:Create a record with my own recId - so that I can then update it later using this IDEnter a value on another field - line myId - and then use this field later to update the recordSet the AirTable ID based off of something else - so that I can recalculate it laterI know that the create query returns the recId and I could potentially update my original database with this ID and use it, but I would like to avoid this if possible. It is confusing to me that the docs have an "upsert" option listed, but there doesn't seem a way to actually do this as we can't enter our own id.There is this option:https://community.airta

I've developed an AT base for managing orders in my small business. What makes it stand out is how I use Calendar view to create a very elastic and robust calendaring solution that has no competitor. I've done lots of demos for folks in my industry and they want a copy of my base just for the calendar. Doing what I've accomplished is not intuitive in AT -- I asked so many questions in the community forums and never got anywhere. It was only through hours exploring the various features that I finally built a digital version of my analog calendaring solution.It seems like the best way to share/sell my base to my colleagues is to duplicate it to a blank version (essentially a template) that I could share and they could then duplicate into their own AT accounts. Am I correct? If I go that route, I'm assuming that I'm going to have extra fees on the AT side beyond my current annual subscription. How do I go about determining what those fees might be so that I can price my base access correc

I have a database where I manage the personal time off (PTO) for a large team.  Each record has the employee's Name, Start Date, and End Date (as well as manager's approval, notes, etc).  These PTO requests can rage from a single day (where start and end date would be the same) to multiple weeks.  I need to produce a report for our payroll department of all of the records that fall within a certain pre-defined pay period which runs Sunday - Saturday for each week. I am also looking for a way to automate this or make it error proof.A filter can easily be created to capture the records that apply to a given pay period:Start Date, is on or before, the last day of the pay period~AND~End Date, is on or after, the first day of the pay periodThis will find any entry that has one or more days within the pay period.The brute force way to do this would be to manually update the filter definition each week, export a CSV, and send it along - but I am hoping there is a smarter way.I

Hello! Apologies for the potentially basic question, but I was having trouble sorting through the existing documentation and I couldn't find a simple explanation. I'm trying to pass the output variable newCode into a new script, however I'm not sure how to define the variable before I pass it to the oldCode variable (see screenshot). Any suggestions would be appreciated!Thanks,Peter

Hi everyone, I just would like to know if it is possible that I can hide fields with empty value in gallery view. Airtable Gallery - Airtable Explore the "Gallery" view on Airtable. For example, I would like to hide “Attachments” in row “Test1”, “Notes” in row “Test2”, and “status” in row “Test3”. Is it possible? Thank you!

Greetings,Maybe somebody is facing something similar starting today? When trying to submit a form the following error appears (below).  There were no changes to the Base. Also, the same started to happen to an older (4-5 months old) version of the same base. To add more, one of our automations started to act up - We have an automation which fills in 2 "single-select" fields, where the second field is a limited view depending on the first field. This error comes in "invalid item in array cell: foreign record is invalid: row is not visible in column view restriction". Both of these issues appeared out of nowhere. We do have only 1 GB and 10,000 records left in the plan (also tried to making some more to see if that help - it doesn't), but it doesn't seem like it can be an issue. "Cannot process form submissionOh no! Somebody made changes to the structure of this form after you loaded it. You'll need to refresh this page to submit your form responses, but when you refresh the pa

I have a Facilities Walkthrough table where each field represents an area.  For example:Store, 1.1 - Tables, 1.1 Issue, 1.1 Image, 1.1 Owner, 2.2 Awnings, 2.2 Issue, 2.2 Image, 2.2 Owner, etc.12, yes, scratched top, <image of table>, dave, , , , , In this example, there is only a problem with the table, not the awnings ... I have a Remediation Table that is setup like this:Store, Area, Owner, Issue, ImageI want to use a script to take any area with an issue and push it over to the Remediation Table.So in the Remediation Table, once data is pushed over from the Facilities Walkthrough, it would look like:Store, Area, Owner, Issue, Image12, Tables, Dave, scratched top, <image of table>Thanks in advance for any help! 

Hi all! I have read this great post but I have a further question about sync....there is a precise synchronization time following the "Source Base" update?My process is this:- When the event occurs I send a webhook via Make- The webhook triggers an automation inside the Source Base on Airtable (this automation looks up the last created record and updates a field by setting a checked field)The problem is the time between this update on the "Source Base" and the synchronization on the "Sync Base"I realized that up to 9 minutes pass and for this I had to insert 2 "Sleep" modules set to 300 seconds (screenshot attached) each on Make before looking for the new (synchronized) record on the "Sync Base".Can you confirm that the process described is correct? I had read that the ""Sync Base" synchronization takes place within 5 minutes following the "Source Base" update.Thank you very much all for your help! 🙂

We are in the process of transitioning some of our different bases to use synced tables coming from a sort of ‘Single Source of Truth’ base. Now, some of these tables that we would like to make synced to the base have numerous linked records, lookups, rollups, as well as scripts and automations that impact them. From what I have discovered so far, there is no way to sync an already existing table containing the same information to our new source base. Is this correct? Essentially, to properly transition to the synced table, I will need to recreate all of the items that are not synced? I want to make sure this is the case before I jump into transitioning some of these bases, only to find out there was an easier workaround all along. Thanks for all the help!

Hello all, Looking to modify this script to see if it can recognize multiple template types linked to a parent record and run/create the necessary tasks in the child table. For instance, if I have a checklist and want to generate tasks based on Variable A and Variable B, I'd like to make sure tasks are included for both variables. It seems right now, the script is only set to recognize the tasks from Variable A and ignores Variable B. 

Hi there, I have a Projects table and a Tasks table, as laid out in the Project Management demos from AirTable. When a Project is completed, we check the “Complete” checkbox and that moves it from the Upcoming Projects view to the Past Projects view (which are simply the same tables, but with a filter based on the Complete checkbox). However, when a project is completed, I’d like for all the linked tasks in the Tasks table to be deleted. Not moved to another place, but actually deleted. Is there a way to automate this? Nickie

Hi all, it's my first time using no-code tools and I am trying to add airtable as a database tool to collect sign-up information as well as customer queries and any other related data. Where do I start? 😁

Dear airtable community,I want to send out a form where someone can fill in some information. But I really want an option where a table could be filled in. Currently, if you make a form from the existing spreadsheet, you need to fill in the form 4 times to fill in all the questions. Therefore I want to integrate a table, where someone could fill in the table (in this example consisting of 4 locations with questions) and only have to submit the form once.It would be really helpful if anyone knows a solution 🙂  

I have a Date/Time field that feeds into a formula field to pull the date from it. It used to work perfectly well, now that I have added the time option to it as well though there is an issue with it sorted dates wrong. As an example I have a task that is listed with the date 1/19/2021 7:00pm but when I put it into the formula it reads it as 01/20/2021. If I change the time to 1/19/2021 7:00am it reads it as 01/19/2021. It does read the Date/Time correctly in Calendar view. Is there anything I can do to ensure it reads the Date/Time field correctly for the formula? It is important for grouping reasons. The formula I am currently using is: IF({Due On}=BLANK(), “N/A”, DATETIME_FORMAT({Due On}, ‘L’))

Hi, I am having a problem using Integromat to upload my email attachments to Airtable. My process is to save attachments in Drive > Generate a direct download link (double checked that it works without requiring any login) > save all attachments in an array (multiple attachments) > upload the entire array to Airtable. I also get the files uploaded to Airtable as seen on my Airtable base. But within seconds, all the files vanish. I am at the end of my wits trying to figure out the problem. My email is a Google Workspace account, and I am currently trying out the Pro plan of Airtable. Also, the first few records uploaded using Zapier are still there. But Integromat uploads keep on disappearing. Please help!

I am seeking to embed an airtable form into a webpage. On the embed view, if I turn on autosize height, there is a javascript. When this switch is turned off, the embed is just a simple iframe. On the page webpage where I’m attempting to embed the airtable form, I can embed other pages using iframe. Therefore, I know iframe will properly display content. The embed code supplied by airtable shows nothing. The page is blank. When I use an iframe checker it reports: Header X-Frame-Options found. The header is set to SAMEORIGIN. You are on a different domain and therefore this page can NOT be included.. If I understand X-Frame properly, this indicates that an iframe embed can only be made from the airtable domain. The full header reported is as follows: HTTP/1.1 200 OK cache-control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate Cache-control: no-cache="set-cookie" Content-Length: 25963 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2020 18:16:23 GMT ETag: W/"656b-ovIs+MpQkjuLC/L

HelloI have a task I'm trying to achieve with a script in an automation. It's an automation to run every 3rd week of a month (ideally), and to trigger a script which will find all the Wednesdays in the next month and create certain records on those dates. That part I have sussed out, but what I can't find out how to do would be to grab the data/title from the last record of the current month the automation runs on so that I can make sure the new records it creates in the following month flow on correctly. Eg:Automation runs on 16th Jan, triggers a script to create records on every Wednesday in February, starting with a specific title relative to the last Wednesday record in January.The script needs to find out the title of record on the last wednesday of January (which would have been the 25th) and pass that variable into some logic I'll create to determine the titles of the February entries it automates. Hopefully this makes sense! Thanks
