Hi! I am creating a database for my books and have included categories like genre, pace, mood, etc. In future, I would like to offer a subscription service for people to get a new book within their preferences. I know I can create a form in Airtable to get their information but is it possible to then have the form automatically generate a list of all the books that match their preferences? Or if not automatically, is there a way to do it quickly/easily without having to manually cross reference their preferences to the categories? I imagine an IF/THEN formula with IF referring to the users’ selection and THEN linking to the database column for that category. But I’m not sure if this will work or if there’s a better way or if I’ll have to hire someone to create something like this for me. Any info would be appreciated!

Hey all! Anyone have experience using conditional logic in the Airtable Forms view? I am using it currently to conditionally show a field based on the input of the type of product category the user filling out the form selects (to help skinny down the list of options for the user). It works brilliantly except one important piece: The user can select from 12 different categories. If the user doesn’t select the category in the field I just conditionally defined nothing shows up from that field for the other 11 categories (which I have as a linked field to another table so that it autopopulates all the options that a user can apply). Short of creating 11 other linked fields – is there a way to “duplicate” or copy the field I defined and just switch the condition to show the different options for one of the other 11 selected categories (i.e., the else conditions?) Thanks for any thoughts. Justin

I need help with inventory management. What I’m trying to accomplish is using my current inventory of a product to create another product that will lower the inventory count of the products it takes to create the the new one. For example let’s say we’re selling fruits I have oranges, apples, bananas and kiwi that I sell all individually however I also want to offer them as a package deal so whenever I create that package the inventory of all the fruits involved lowers as well by the number it takes to make that. More in-depth I want it to take X apples and X kiwi but those numbers may be different from each other. Thank you in advance!

I want to do something like this Subtract more than one item from the same product Ask the community I am running a store that makes fabric bags. Each bag can be made from one or more products from the inventory, for example, two zippers, one strap, one tag, two hooks, etc. I need a formula that for each bag I sell it can subtract more than one item from each product in the inventory, this is kind of a cooking recipe. Please let me know if you need further information. Thank you! but in my case, there are sizes as well. So each fabric bag will be either small, medium or large and the components (zipper, strap etc) will also have the same size options. A small fabric bag will have small zippers and small straps. What kind of database structure should I have and how should those coordinate with each other?

I have a table in my base that I use to track “energy level” which is rated 1-10. Each record also has a timestamp on it. I’d like to create a table that charts energy levels on an average day. I’m thinking I need an average energy level for each one-hour increment. Any suggestions?

Hi all. Perhaps someone can help me. I need help from someone who understands the Telegram API. Below is the code of a script which should work under certain conditions in Automations and send a message to a Telegram user via bot in an open chat with some data from the table. At the moment the script sends an error error_code: 400 description: "Bad Request: message text is empty" The script works fine in the sandbox and sends messages. Not in Airtable. Perhaps the problem is related to Airtable and its specific variables? How do you think it is possible to solve this problem. On Stack Owerflow people occasionally write about this problem, but their solutions have not helped me. I would be grateful for an answer. const token = 'ххх'; let inputConfig = input.config(); let message = `${inputConfig.first_name}, документ готов по заказу №${inputConfig.order}.<br>Вы можете скачать его <a href = "${inputConfig.doc_link}"по ссылке</a>.<br>Ждем Вас снова.<br>Ваш, Rea

Hi Airtable community, Is there any way to: collect files via form attachment copy and upload the files to box.com delete the files in Airtable (Tried using Zapier, but unable to automate deleting the files in Airtable) Or are there any other ways that this can be achieved other than form attachent, as I know it is not ideal… Thanks in advance!

Hi, I’m putting together a base together with a list of therapeutic modalities on my y axis; and a multiple select field called ‘Presenting Issue’ on my x axis where I’m inputting the different presenting issues each therapy targets (e.g. CBT targets Phobias; Depression etc). I’ve a list of about 50 different therapies and would like to be have a view where I can look at the presenting issue and then see which therapy is ‘matched’ to the issue. I assume the best way to do this would be with a Kanban view, however Kanban doesn’t seem to work with a multiple select field. Any suggestions of how I can a Kanban to work, or perhaps a different method to achieve a similar outcome? Thanks in advance!

Is there any capability for a remotely-hosted attachment, ie. images hosted on a different server but which can display as attachment thumbnails in Airtable? Let’s say, I have many images hosted on S3/Cloudinary… If I have a URL field containing the URL of an image, is there any way to make that image display as thumbnail content within Airtable? Or even to function at the same level as an attachment?

I have always used CSV Import’s Apps. However, I have recently been experiencing errors with CSV Import.

I’m trying to list all the conferences our company might be interested in attending for the next year or so. I’d like to be able to estimate the total cost for each meeting. I’ll assume a daily rate for meals, but I’d love to have a way to look up airfare or median hotel price to include. Is that possible?

Hello! I’m trying to set up an automation where a birthday email goes out on the client’s birthday. I found the solution on changing their DOB to current year (thank you community!) however, I don’t want the emails to go out before 9 AM on the day of their birthday. So far I’m adding in the “time” of 9 AM manually in the birthday field but I can’t seem to figure it out from there. Thanks in advance for your help! Troy

I’m using Naver Whale which is a Chromium-based web browser. If I right-click on the table, the menu for the AirTable and the context menu for the web browser overlap. (The web browser menu covers the AirTable menu so that the AirTable menu is invisible.) It does not happen in other browsers such as Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Firefox. If I want to use the AirTable menu, I should press the Esc key once to remove the web browser menu. Is there a fix for this problem?

Is it possible to cast my bases to a large television screen with Airplay or Chromecast?

Hi everyone! Newbie to anything this technologically advanced and have no idea what I am doing LOL. I am using the Airtable “Create Scripts for Multiple Templates” script, but I don’t need the “Type” table. Is there anyone here who can educate me on how to edit the script so it doesn’t include any reference to the “Type” table and still runs through what I need it to? Thank you in advance!

Why emailed data only for Enterprise plan?

Hi, I’ve looked at the online tutorials and for some reason I’m doing something wrong! I need to link numerous sheets into one master sheet. The master sheet needs to link individuals by surname and email to avoid duplication. I run a non for profit and we have so much data and so much duplication and I just need everything on one sheet. I’m now getting really confused as its not linking things but is adding a link name to a form. Can someone explain how I do this in a really straightforward clear way?! Thanks!

If I currently am using the 5 free collaborators on the free plan and need to add a 6th collaborator how much will I be charged on the pro plan? (1 seat, with the 5 free collaborators still free or 6 seats for each of the 6 collaborators? )

Curious if there is a way or a work around to conditionally display two different buttons. Use case: Different roles/jobs (each is a record) that are open for applicants at different times. Want to gallery view all roles/jobs, and display a “learn more” button that would take user to a job description page, but would like that button to be an “apply now” button that takes user to the application form for jobs/roles on which we’re currently accepting applications. My first thought was create two button fields and then have a formula field that would pull apply now button in if applications open and pull learn more button in if applications are not open for that role/job/record. It pulls the URL but doesn’t pull the button. Any thoughts? I wasn’t sure if you could write a conditional in the Label field of the field settings for a Button or if you could even reference another field as the Label… Also wasn’t sure if there’s a better way to reference the data in the field of the record

I have created a two-question survey. One question asks the respondent to pick their top three options out of six and the other question asked them to select their top four out of 16 options. I’d love to limit to the three or four, but I’m pretty sure that capability isn’t there. MY PRIMARY CHALLENGE AND QUESTION IS: Some of the options to select are longer, and part of the sentence gets cut off when you view them on the survey instrument. Is there a way to change that???
