so weird i cant find some clear replies to thsi question via search. We run a real estate agency and add all or listings to airtable. This will end up being around 10-30k+ listings over time. Would it be a bad idea to add 10-20 images to each record so its a bit more simple to store the images of each listing? Would it slow down airtable speed considerably? I also had in mind that it would be great if we can integrate and sync airtable with uploading the listings to our wordpress website, which was another reason to keep them in attachment cells in airtable. Thank you!

Is there any way to make a button on both gantt and grid views to switch between the opposite? For example, I have a lot of timelines grouped over numerous years, with a lot of overlap. If I am looking at the grid view, on a particular row, I want to switch to that same row on the gantt. Having so many timelines, this is very clunky to switch back and forth, having to find my place.

I have a form with a cover image and logo. Up until today the images displayed properly, however now they appear as broken image. Additionally I have a small table with a few images in it and they are now also appearing as broken images. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? I see some older posts where this was resolved but it seems to be happening again, at least to me. Re-uploading images has not helped either, it just ends up with the same result.

I have about 400 records that have URLs with standard https:// However, in order to use these with our email marketing merge tags, I need them all to not include the https:// pre-fix within the URL. Is there a way to update all these records at once instead of manually?

I’ve never been able to successfully share a base or workspace with anyone over the years but it is now critical. Is this functionality now working successfully? The system either: claims it has shared with “email address” but the recipient never gets an email (no, not in junk) or the wheel spins when attempting to email invite and the process never completes. Have not prevented collaboration in workspace settings. Thanks

Am I able to associate a form with a specific record / record ID?

Hi! I have a business where we rent home alarm systems. We use Airtable to manage the stock and availability of the kits. I would like to introduce it in our booking form, so what I want to do is make a request to check if in the dates my client wants to rent the alarm system, we have some system available. Di you know if this is possible and can help me a little please? Thanks community!

Hello all! I would like to create some drill down fields in a table for goals and objectives. For example, if you choose Goal 3 from a single select field, I would like to then only see the objectives that correspond with Goal 3 (i.e., Obj 3a, 3b, and 3c) in the Objectives single select field rather than see the objectives for every goal. Is this possible? Thank you.

Hi All, So I have a Date and Time field, in separate fields, I wanted to combine the 2 fields together in 1. Is there any formula for this case? I’m looking for a result in this way “1/7/2022 19:00” Thank you in advance! My Best, Mae

Hi everyone ! I am so sorry if my question has already been answered on this forum but I just spent my entire day trying to find a solution… I need to add some wordpress featured images on my Airtable database. To do so, I choose the Attachment field type and tried to add the url. Airtable is doing a great job downloading files, but it takes a kind of screenshot of the website whereas I only need the featured image (just a .png or .jpg file !). For example, if I take this url (https://lexpedia.fr/droit-administratif/arret-blanco-8-fevrier-1873/) and insert it in the Attachment type field, I will need to get the little girl image on a .png format. Don’t hesitate to tell me if I’m not clear ! Thanks by advance !

Hi! I have a slight problem that I don’t know how to solve: I’m working on some lists that need to be divided into different records. In this particular case, the lists that I was given contain the field “name” or “full name” but I need to divide that information into “name”, “middle name”, and “last name”. So, for example, if I have in one record the name “Amanda N. Pollard”, I need to divide that into Given name: Amanda Middle name: N. Last name: Pollard The extra complexity comes when not all people within the Company have middle names or when some employees have more than 1 last name. For example: “Jay Martínez Romero” which in this case would look like: Given name: Jay Last names: Martínez Romero Has anybody done this before? Thanks in advance!

Hello world I’m working on a budget base which requires a linked field to pull in cost data. It currently means manually searching for a linked record 20 times for each choir rehearsal (there are 10 venue costs, and 10 staff costs per choir)… And we have 19 different choirs to do this for (almost 400 manual ‘clicks’). I’m either being stupid and missing something obvious, OR it requires some form of scripting (in which I am clueless) or automation to make this happen automatically. Could anyone shed some light? Here’s a short video showing what I currently have to do. And here’s a link to an abbreviated version of the base. Any help would be hugely appreciated! Many thanks Curtis

Hi, I’m creating a running list of records (in this case, social media posts) and I’ve organized them by year, then by month, and then by week. To do this, I assigned format specifiers to each date with formulas. For example, 2019 is “2019”, January is “1 January,” February is “2 February,” etc. Weeks are assigned the same way – the first week of January is “1,” the last week of December is “52.” However, I ran into trouble with a new grouped view (“Posts by Month”). I grouped these records by year, month, and week. Everything displays as it should except the last few days of December. 12/29/2019 through 12/31/2019 disappear. They are technically part of week 1 in 2020, but aren’t displaying because they are still part of the year 2019. Is there way to force

My pictures do not show in records; it was showing for a while until I made an interface and disappeared.

Hi Everyone! I’m trying to create a webhook from a local app, but I always get a Error 400 response: Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://hooks.airtable.com/workflows/v1/genericWebhook/mywebhookxxx' from origin 'https://localhost:5173' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Does anybody know how I can prevent the cors error? Many thanks in advance for any help! :bouquet:

Hello! My wife and I use a food delivery service that each week brings an assortment of bulk food. Our plan is to portion it out at time of delivery, and easily eat it throughout the week. Instead, we just toss the bulk containers in the fridge, then confusingly shuffle them around for every. single. meal. So! Airtable to the rescue! My question: how would you best map out the days vs the meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner)? The plan is to make a table for the dishes (chicken stew, roast veggies, etc) and then link them to a specific meal (Thursday Lunch) in another table. I’ve tried records with a title of the day, then a field with the meal. I’ve also tried a record with the meal as the title, then a field for a date. I’m primarily using the mobile app, and both of these methods leave me with a big stack of cards that appear to be repeating (Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday, and so on). Is there a better way to map this out? Like some kinda way where my days/meals read a

Hi there, I don’t know exactly whether this question goes here or under table design but see below my challenge. On my base I have different tables but the main ones are contacts and projects. Under contacts I have all person details, emails, etc and use these to send automated emails etc. My table projects I have different views and the Kanban I currently have is ‘stage’ view. We are growing quite fast and, now I would like to have a Kanban view which stacks the projects that certain people in ‘contacts’ table are running but to do this I would need to create a ‘single select’ field. This would duplicate my work as I already assign the project to a contact, linking the tables and running automations in the background. Just checking in to see if anyone can think of a smart way to stack / group by contact if that makes sense. Thanks in advance, Arnau

I have been trying to create an automation with a Google Calendar trigger where, upon the creation of a new calendar event, a record is created in my Airtable base. I can look at the appointment in my Google Calendar (9/3/22 from noon to 1pm). When I look in my base, the start and stop time values are displayed as 5:00pm and 6:00pm. The Title, Date, Start/Stop Times of the Calendar Event read as follows (in Google Calendar): “Test Event 3 Sep 3, 2022 12:00pm to 1:00pm Sep 3, 2022 (GMT-5:00) Central Time - Chicago time zone” I went back to check my automation routine in Airtable and, upon generating a preview, it shows start and stop times of 5:00pm and 6:00pm. The formula I used to translate the GMT (Start and End) fields into the correct time format is below. The format is fine. The values are wrong by 5 hours. DATETIME_FORMAT(SET_TIMEZONE({Begin GMT},‘Chicago/Ilinois’), ‘hh:mm a’) Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Im attempting to make an app that will allow the user to select a value from a dropdown, and then the table will filter the records for that value. I’ve gotten the dropdown working, however for whatever reason the last return has an error and will not work. The problem function is the one that will update the records. How can I resolve this return error?

Hi all! I’m looking for some brainstorming help to come up with a creative solution. I am hoping to use the new limited view feature on forms to create a booking system for my team’s educational programs. Right now, we have two tables - one for the program information and one for our contacts. We have it set up that way so we can keep track of whether or not contacts return and do additional programs. I would love if there was a simple way to have a contact created and linked (or just linked if that contact already exists) when someone fills out and submits the form that populates the program information. Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated!

I’m getting an invalid hook call error, but I’m unsure as to why. My extension is intending to list all the values in a specific field in a dropdown to then select one to filter buy Error: Invalid hook call. Hooks can only be called inside of the body of a function component. This could happen for one of the following reasons: You might have mismatching versions of React and the renderer (such as React DOM) You might be breaking the Rules of Hooks You might have more than one copy of React in the same app See https://fb.me/react-invalid-hook-call for tips about how to debug and fix this problem. at resolveDispatcher (https://localhost:9000/__runFrame/bundle.js:7
