Hi guys, i am really new to airtable and i am looking for a solution on an issue thta, so far, i hadn’t find an answer. All i want is to show on a table, a value from another table created. Let me explain a bit better: On one table i have all the interactions with my customers. These interactions have a field called next action with a date and another field with the action itself. On another table i shall always have the next action shown. This has to be dynamic because as interactions keep being updated, the next action should always be the last on created. Hope i made it clear. Thank you very much for your help!

I want to send a message to a Slack channel based on the message in an airtable cell. And I want it to trigger when its the date in another column. I can’t seem to find an automation in Airtable or Zapier that triggers on a certain date, just at regular intervals (daily, weekly, etc) Any help would be appreciated! Thank you

How to check or uncheck all 100 records in a view with one click ?

I have a webpage shared view of a calendar that has a button link to a URL. Previously I could have the button seen when a record was expanded on the web view of the calendar. Now if the button is enabled under “customize labels” it adds the text of the URL to the calendar entry. How can I continue to have that button to link a URL on a web shared calendar without it showing in the title of the calendar event? Images to explain what is happening. The button is named “Change Request.” The first image shows the button hidden and therefore not available, but the calendar looks like I want it to. The second with the button enabled, adding the URL information in the event title. The third image is how it has always looked when the calendar event is clicked on to expand the record. This is where the URL could be clicked on. This all worked until just recently.

I have a form from within airtable that we use to select a serial number. This is a lookup field from my inventory table, it was showing all serial numbers that were in stock. now its showing Object Object (See image) if I type in the find area it does narrow it to a single (object object) and once selected shows the correct serial number (See photo) Is this a fault with my base/table or a issue with airtable?

Recently my database has been freezing or locking up. This is happening on multiple different users and computers. All are using Firefox latest version. Have made NO changes to Firefox other than the normal updates. No ad blockers, etc. Happens either in private or non-private mode. All computers are using fiber internet connections. No internet issues that I know of. It is happening on my office computer and my home computer. I thought the issue was because my database was too large so archived unnecessary data. Database size is now 1.6GB / 2,223 records. It is still doing it. The message I am getting is: "This page is slowing down Firefox. To speed up the browser stop the page " As of a day or so I started seeing the phrase “Saving (with spinning icon)” I have submitted a request to support but have not really received any answer as of yet. Anyone else experiencing this? Thanks, Darlene Brown

I want to be more efficient so I synched multiple tables into one table. But I can’t edit/ udpate the records. How can I achieve the desired results ?

How to merge 3K records in 5 bases into one base? ( Easiest way )

Hello. I am building a simple AWS Lambda service to backup all my airtable data. The strategy i am using is: I call the API and save all the raw data in a json file. This process is working fine. But when I try to restore, I am unable to restore the linked fields successfully, because the original RECORD_IDs no longer exists. Example: Table A: [ id: “rec11111” ==> Generated automatically in the original table ] When i restore Table A into a new table (simulating that someone completely deleted the original table), i use the create() method from the API. This id is no longer valid, because airtable automatically assign a new random ID for this record. And because of that, all my linked fields are broken. Did someone also faced this problem? How did you manage to solve or build a workaround? I’ve been thinking of some strategies but they all feel a bit complex and unnecessary, it would be more simple to set the original Id at the moment I ca

Hello, I do not have a lot of programming knowledge so Im struggling with something that I think is quiet easy, but I could not find the answer online (at least not an easy one). I would like to create a script that I could run on demand to check all the boxes if Label contains “Roadmap-visible” Something like if Label contains “roadmap-visible” then checkbox = true I know it is easy to do it with automation and I have already done it but I would like to do it with a script because it is more practical to run the command on demand. Thanks a lot for your help :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi all! Not sure if anyone can answer my question here, but I’m a bit concerned about the updates to the Attachment URLs, and I wanted to make sure my team won’t be impacted. One of our use-cases for Airtable is to gather lists of users via an external submission through a form in Airtable. As I understand it, this change will only impact/expire the URL itself, and not the actual file, which will persist in our Airtable database. Can anyone confirm that it’s only the URL that will be expired? Thanks in advance!

I have events that are multiple hours long, and when I put a start and end date/time the calendar creates 2 events for one hour at the start and end of the event. For example, an event that goes from 7om - 9pm has a one hour long event from 7pm - 8pm and a one hour event from 9pm - 10pm. Is there a way to make the event a multiple hour block for the duration rather than 2, one hour events?

Hey! I have a simple form that asks the user to select their name from a list. When they select their name, it includes all of their information like name, email address, profile picture, etc. Some people already have their profile picture, while others never uploaded it. Is it possible to write an if statement that requires an image attachment if the profile is missing the picture?

Hello all, our team would like to register an annual Pro plan on Airtable. However, one member will leave us after three months so we only want to add her to a monthly subscription. Is that possible or does Airtable apply annual billing for all?

I had previously been sharing links to publicly view various parts of my database, but after deciding to embed all of them into my website, the embeds don’t copy the sorting I have set within the database. I have included screenshots to explain Previously, image 2 would have displayed there was an active sort already applied. Are there any solutions to this?

I have seen several posts with different solutions on how to sync the bases two ways, but none really to fit what I hope to do. So I have this one base where our leasing officers are tracking our lease-ups with one “Status” field used to track the Status of the process. One of the status is “W9 Review”. I created a special view where it is synced to another base where our Property Owner Data Manager will review the W9 and mark approval or denial. [I want it to be another base because our Data Manager has other unrelated tasks on their base that I want to keep separate from the other department] So I synced the base to the other table and added another field where they can mark approve or deny and also an attachment field where they can put in a form or document. I want these two additional fields to be then sync back to the other base upon approval, update the original base Status from “W9 Review” to “W9 Approved” based off of the trigger/automati

I’ve have a fairly broad range of data that’s been ongoing for many years now in Airtable. One thing I’ve always wondered however, is when I bucket working line charts (via the Chart App) into a Quarter Bucket value, the chart always draws blank. If I use either day, week, month or year, the chart fills as expected. What am I missing here? Month example; Quarter example;

I have a table for register tickets and expenses. Its too much faster to complete it from desktop, but when I arrived to my attach column, I want to upload a photo from the phone. So it´s a kind of hybrid way to complete the record. Do anyone know a way to achieve this? Like generating an automatic QR code that redirects directly to the upload popup from a record? Thank you very much!!!

I’m trying to create recurring records, the logic is as follows: I have a table with Field A and Field B Field A is a date. Field B is a calculated date one week from Field A’s date. When a record’s Field A is older than NOW(), I want to create a new record with Field A being populated with the date from Field B. Is there a way? Please note I’m not trying to update records, I need to keep the previous records and just create new ones based on the above rules.

I have a series of 7 onboarding tasks for new members of my virtual assistant mentorship program for them to complete. I have created the tasks as a template and then duplicate them for each new VA. The problem is that I have to duplicate each task individually. I can’t seem to find a way to copy 7 tasks at a time and duplicate all of them. Selecting and right-clicking doesn’t give this option nor does using CTRL C and CTRL V. Any thoughts?
