I am trying to embed a domain restricted view and/or base onto a website. I've used a Google Site and Notion now and tried it with a view and a base. Chrome consistently works just as intended but Safari does not. In both cases, the embedded view/base loads a little cartoon plant and says I need to sign in. This is important because the cartoon plant is unique to embedding. That means that the embedded view/base recognizes that it's embedded in both Safari and Chrome. I then click sign-in, it opens a new tab, I sign in, and then it says I can close the tab and go back to the embedded view/base. I do that and nothing has changed for Safari or Chrome. The difference is I simply have to refresh Chrome and then it recognizes that it's authenticated, no problems. In Safari, I refresh and it looks exactly the same, still asking me to sign in as if I'm not already signed in. I'm pretty sure that this is a bug in Airtable that needs to be addressed and not something particular to my setup. I'v

Hi, I’ve recently downgraded from a team account to the free account. I duplicated my bases to make sure there were less than 1000 records and archived older data but I’m still getting the error. I’m not using any attachments or AI automations. Is there another criteria I should look for as I’d like to continue adding data to these bases.

Hi everyone,I run a niche website that publishes daily puzzle solutions for the NYT Letter Boxed game. I’m currently posting answers manually, but I’d love to streamline this process using Airtable. Has anyone used Airtable to schedule or automate daily content updates to a website or blog?For context, here’s my site: NYT Letter Boxed Answers and tips– I post daily solutions, tips, and strategies.I’m curious to know: Can Airtable be used as a lightweight CMS for this kind of content? Are there any integrations (like with Zapier or Make) that could auto-publish new rows to a WordPress post or static site? How do you manage formatting or templating for content blocks coming from Airtable? Would appreciate any insights or advice from those with experience. Thanks!

Hi - I am trying to use timeline view to display one bar per record, but to indicate more than start and end dates.Possible?Example: Big Event 17 has a start date, a ‘launch date’, and an end dateIs there any way to have the launch date simply/visually indicated on the single timeline bar for Big Event 17?I suppose I could have it display the text of the  ‘launch date’ field in the title of the bar itself but was hoping for something more elegant... like a dot. 🤓  Are you all going to make me switch to Gantt view? 😉Thanks

Someone knows when Airtable will decide to allow data storage in an European Server without paying an Enterprise Price for just 1 or 2 users :'(. I love Airtable, but I cannot use it for my clients and myself without data storage in EU.Or do you know a walk around for this?Cheers

Hello all, good morning! Just wonder if I could get some help please! I am trying to use both softr and airtable to build a forum. I like the sample forum that it provided but would like to give it a bit more personality. As per the photos attached, I have a table for users and a table for post. I am using the table of “posts” for my forum so it is not linked to the user table. The issues are:I cannot link the user table to this forum so I cannot add “avatar” field from user table to the forum. I cannot seems to add another attachment photo into that specific space next to the author’s name and post date...  

Hi guys, I’m a baby on this industry, Automation, AI, so on, but im about to learn from basic.As a first step, Im on the learning & studying by myself alone to use Zapier.But, Unfortunately, Airtable doesn’t allow me to access with login on macOS.(I tried a lot of method, changing Browsers safari, chrome, ARC and also accounts google, apple.Only mobile app accepting my ID, but it doesn’t seems that i can do something on that App)So i’m very discouraged to study automation because i’m stuck with this issue.I hope here is someone who know this issue and recommend a solution with referable links.Please find below captured screenshot.  *Below green bar doesn’t proceed anymore :(

Hi all,I’ve been facing a strange issue and I’d love to know if anyone else has experienced something similar — or if this could be a bug.We have two scripting extensions in our base: Delete XXX File Generate INBOUND XXX File Both are configured to only run when a user manually clicks the "Run" button. There are no automation triggers, no time-based triggers, and no webhook or external script that could be calling them.Despite this, these scripts executed themselves on two different days: June 12th, 2025 June 26th, 2025 Only one execution occurred each day. No user was interacting with the base at that time. These scripts do call a Google Apps Script via fetch(), but that Apps Script has no time triggers or onEdit triggers either — it only responds to manual activation via Airtable’s scripting extension.We checked: Activity logs: no evidence of user-initiated runs. Apps Script executions: no trigger before the Airtable script call. Other tools (Zapier, Make, etc.): not involved

Hi, I’m new to using Airtable. I create a Gantt view when I set up dependencies between some  milestones. I noticed  that in my Gantt view when I have  milestone that is dependent on another milestone, even if I move the first milestone it does not affect the milestone that is dependent on it. however, when a milestone is dependent on a task that has a duration, the change is reflected.Milestone 2 depends on Milestone 1  After moving Milestone1 one day later , Milestone 2 remains due for the 25th. I expected it to move 1 day later    

Hi Any idea when Airtable will update its markdown syntax to accept inline images? I love to send emails with Airtable automation, but I can’t find a way to integrate my signature to emails !

Has anyone seen this message before when trying to sync and emailed CSV file into the base?“Unable to sync this source. A field in this table has too many select options, so no new select options can be synced”.How do i fix this? 

Dear community,I am thinking about to turn on Airtable AI, but first I'd like to ask whether the Airtable AI has the power to do what I want.A brief introduction of my base and what I want to achieve:We provide logistics management for cruise vessels when they are in dry dock. We manage the complete supply chain and on site coordination. Building a detailed inventory of all items for the ship and keep track is one of our tasks. Now, we work with barcode tracking which means we have to assign a barcode to a record (primary field = barcode). This can be done by scanning the label (regret to say that, but the Airtable mobile app sucks!) , or manual input (risk of typos), or third party scanning integration. We also take photos of every single item (attachment field).And here is what I want (primary goal):AI should analyze the photo and search for a barcode label, then update the primary field accordingly.So much more what I want, for e.g.:AI should analyze the packing list (attachmen

Greetings, I’m new to Airtable.I want to run a script to delete field columns that contain the word (SS)I get this error:“deleteFieldAsync available: no⚠️ Your current environment/role does not support deleting fields via script.Please run this in Extensions → Scripting with a Creator role, or delete the fields manually.”I am the Owner of the base.I am in extensions → Scripts and running this script from there.Why is it not allowing me to delete if I am an Owner and I am running the script from extensions?Thanks!

It seems that the number of lines that the view moves in a single "scroll-notch" from the mouse wheel is the same in any cell height.This feels very unnatural (scrolling the same distance is expected, not the same number of lines).With taller cell heights this means that the entirety of the lines that are visible are new lines after scrolling a single scroll-notch away, which leads to the worrying ambiguity of "what if I have scrolled past some of the lines" since you don't have any lines that are common to both positions that may serve as visual reference points.The only workaround is to click on the scroll bar and drag it, which is not as ergonomic as having a proper scroll.This has been somewhat mentioned in this other question from 2021 "Adjust Mouse Wheel Scroll Sensitivity?"  which doesn't have a single answer.

I have paid the invoice which failed yesterday. I had automatically been downgraded to free plan. However even after paying the invoice when I try to upgrade, it takes me to billing and then says we cant charge your card right now.

Hi,Is there any way to search an entire base with the Search feature on the mobile app? I’m only able to see how to search within one view and one table at a time.Our team has added QR codes to records in our base, and would like to use the scanner within the Search feature on the mobile app to scan a QR code (from a printed label) and pull up the corresponding record in the Airtable app.This works fine *if* you know which table and which view to search in. However the base has multiple tables and views (it was not set up optimally). If you’re searching in the wrong table, or view, OR if a filter has been applied by another user to the view you’re searching in, you’ll get a “record not found” message.So I’d love to find an easy way to scan in the QR Code with the mobile app, and just search the whole base.Any ideas??Thanks very much.Elaine

Hi all,I’m looking for a MiniExtensions expert with deep knowledge of the platform’s portal capabilities.The goal is to create a kind of shopping-style experience, where different users can see diferent items options and varying availability/quantities based on a complex matrix/profiles.I’m seeking looking for advice and guidance about what's possible and whether we should look at a different tool. I have intermediate understanding of ME and have build several portals before.If you have experience setting up advanced MiniExtensions workflows. I’d love to connect.

Hey all!I’m currently developing an extension for Airtable, and at the moment, all of the logic resides in a single file, index.js, as generated by the initial project setup.Is it a requirement of Airtable’s extension framework that all code must remain in index.js, or is it safe to refactor the logic into multiple modules/files for better organization and maintainability with TypeScript?I’d appreciate any official guidance or best practices. Thanks in advance!

Hello, since today I am having a problem that does not allow me to work with Airtable. When I try to paste a code snippet into a text field of any type the program gives an error and crashes. I have done this many times before and there have never been any problems… But today there is no way… PD: I’ve tried it on a friend’s account and the same thing happens… I’ve restarted, cleared cache and so on but there’s no way…

I’m working on the following project in the interface designer where I want to utilise two tablesInitiatives Type of workIn this interface page, I want to use the list view and use the hierarchy levelsLevel 1 - Initiatives Level 2 - Type of work  The goal is to being able to group the records by the status field from the initiatives table. So those records in the interface should be displayed like this Record A - Type of work 1 (showing status of every milestones; To Do, Queued, WIP, Done and who is/was working on it) - Type of work 2 (e.g. backend, frontend, sound, art&design) - Type of work 3  Record B - Type of work 1 - Type of work 2 - Type of work 3 ​​​​​​​However, I can’t emphasise enough  how I’m frustrated that the records can be only group by the bottom hierarchy level (Yes, I can still sort the records by the parental level but this is not the same) I think this is a missed opportunity. A good design, and friendly interface is a key element if a user would want to use air
