Our current CRM auto populates customer records with communications. When we email customers we also have BCC address that automatically copies the email into the communications section of the customer’s record. I want to switch from our CRM to an Airtable solution, but this is a fairly routine and important function. Can Airtable do this? and if so, how? I find Zapier difficult and bit above my pay grade, so any help would be much appreciated.

Dear Community, I’m new to Airtable. I have a table that includes parts and tasks. In other words, if Task 1 includes 5 different parts each record will have a value of “Task 1”. The same is true for parts associated with Task 2. What I’m trying to accomplish can be done in Google Sheets using a Query function, but I’ve not figured out how to do this in Airtable. When our company makes a sale of a new Air Conditioning system, there is a product description list from which the sales person makes a selection. Examples: 3.0 ton Complete Gas System HVAC and Furnace - 14 SEER 3.0 ton Complete Gas System HVAC and Furnace - 16 SEER 3.5 ton Complete Gas System HVAC and Furnace - 14 SEER 3.5 ton Complete Gas System HVAC and Furnace - 16 SEER, etc. Each product has a list of Parts and the appropriate Quantity(s) to deliver the job. So, if the first product is selected, there may be 10 parts related to that product - all of which have the same product name in each of those records. The goal is to

Hi there, I"m new to Airtable and I keep seeing this “Invalid Filter By Formula” error. I’m not sure what parts went wrong but this is my code: Are there other methods to get a single user ? THANK YOU for your help ! THE CODE export const findUserByEmail = async (userEmail) => { const userRecord = await table .select({ filterByFormula: `user_email=${userEmail}`, }) .firstPage(); if (userRecord.length !== 0) { return userRecord[0].fields; } }; The ERROR AirtableError { error: 'INVALID_FILTER_BY_FORMULA', message: 'The formula for filtering records is invalid: Invalid formula. Please check your formula text.', statusCode: 422 } My temporary workaround solution is to use JavaScript filter method - probably not ideal but I haven’t figured out other solutions yet. e.g. const allUsers = await table.select().all(); const filterUser = allUsers.filter( (user) => user.fields.user_email === userEmail );

Hello everyone, Does anyone know if it is possible to create a form in Airtable that allows multiple entries in one single form? For example, the form is used for our stakeholders to import details of various interviews they have conducted for a single piece of research i.e. personal details, interview feedback, moderator details etc. Rather than them complete multiple single forms which can be time consuming, I was wondering whether there was a feature that allows multiple entries in one single Airtable form. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone! I’m new to Airtable and I still have trouble using formulas, here is what I’m seeking to do: I would like to know if a row in a table let’s call it table1 repat itself in another table (table2). To do so if possible I want to have a detector in table3 and two other fields linked to table1 and table2 so it would be automated. I think the automation is too complex for me to do, so I would appreciate if someone has an idea on which formulas to use or even know if it’s possible to know if a row repeats itself in another table. Thank you for your help!

I am running Airtable on Windows 10. When I try to print to pdf, A4 size, the print to fit option appears not to work, i.e. fields are printed off the edge of the page.

Hello: I am trying to use Page Designer to generate reports from various records and tables, but for certain records with large amounts of data I need more than one page to display everything. Is there another app that would work better? I would also like to create a report with a static URL for each record so non-Airtable users could view their data without signing in.

I am incredibly new to Airtable. I have a family event that I’d like people to sign up for excursions and others can see what excursions others have signed up for. This is the current link: Airtable - Gallery Example: Bride and Groom are going on X excursion each day, in each port. Guests will be able to see what they are signed up for and also say they are going to X excursion as well. This does NOT need to actually tie into a payment system, just simply let everyone be aware of what others are doing and join in if they’d like. Problem: I don’t see how to allow others to sign up for each excursion. I can assign them on the back end, but the idea is for others to be able to see what everyone is doing and then assign themselves to that excursion as well. Is this possible via Airtable?

For a table with organizations I have a field {funded by} which lists all the organizations the organization is funded by. These organizations come in three types listed in {organization type}: government agencies, businesses or nonprofits. Now on the basis of the field ‘funded by’ and the fact that each of the linked records in that field have a feature that specifies whether they are government agencies, businesses or nonprofits, I want to use formulas to create three separate fields, ‘funded by government agencies’, ‘funded by businesses’ and ‘funded by nonprofits’. So I’d like to use a kind of formula like “for each item in {funded by}, if its value in {organization type} is ‘business’ then add to this field {funded by these businesses}.” How can I best do this? Am I missing something obvious?

Hi All. I found the following script code for sending a webhook from Airtable to Make but the input.config() in the first line demands an argument. anyone knows why? Jesper let inputConfig = input.config(); let recordID = inputConfig.inputRecord; console.log(recordID); let url=‘https://hook.eu1.make.com/7emn6wadgl4bn494kgibfvtop3lf4h6s’ console.log(url); let request= url.concat(‘?recordID=’,recordID) console.log(request); await fetch(request);

In one cell, I can select students located in another tab. If I select 1 student, I look up also the person ID which is a number : 123456. If I select 3 students, the lookup function will show 3 person ID as below: 123456, 432567, 5676328 I need to show those values without the comma. I use a formula: SUBSTITUTE({Person ID},‘,’,’ ') but it generates an error, I believe because the students ID are not a text string but an array When converting the array in string, using the formula SUBSTITUTE({Person ID}& “”,‘,’,’ ') I get this result: 1234564325675676328 How can I get 123456 432567 5676328 ?

I am curious to know what kind of impact the upcoming November 2022 update regarding attachments will have on my AirTable functionality. We have multiple columns which include URL links to Dropbox Folders where we store a specific asset depending on the link selected. I am having a hard time understanding if the future update will, or will not, have an effect on our AirTable continuing to function. Unfortunately, we will need to abandon AirTable if it does. Any insight is appreciated.

Hey all :wave: , I don’t find a solution for my stock tracking system. I have a database with all the products: Then I have a database with my orders to the suppliers linked to my product table. Each order has multiple products. Until this step is perfect. :ok_hand:t2: But I need to add quantity to each product :confused: 2 Items of X 3 Items of Y 1 Item of Z Do you know how I can add that? If I insert a general #number field is a quantity for the order and not for each product item. Thanks.

i have a list that i’d like to embed on my website, though do not want anyone to be able to copy or print it. i have turned off the ability to copy from the share settings and turned off the view controls. however the “view larger version” on the bottom right brings back the controls and the ability to print. alternate question: can i turn off the “view larger version” feature? i also do not like the fact that it exposes the direct URL of the list/ view. rant: it doesn’t make any sense why you’d have the setting to turn something off and then provide a way to users to override it. also, is there a way to turn off the airtable branding in the embedded view? i am a paid subscriber and believe i should have the option to truly embed something without having to expose the underlying tool. i see a thread asking about disabling print view from a couple of years ago, didn’t see it being addressed (Disable Print View). tia, sunny

Hello, I am trying to create a prefilled form that automatically populates the current renewal date for a piece of software. I am running into an issue where the date that shows up in the form is exactly one day behind from what it should be and I can’t figure out why. As you can see in the above screenshots, the link generates with the date “2023-01-14” but shows up in the form as 2023-01-13. Any clues as to why this is occurring will be much appreciated! Thanks Doug
