Hi Airtable community! Reaching out with a quick favor - I’m searching for someone for a Project Manager, reporting to our VP Revenue. Ideal candidate is in LA or SF with a lot of experience in project management, Airtable (duh), and startups. Would you happen to know of anyone who might fit the bill?

Hey Guys! Im trying to remove a text in the beginning from a lookup field, by formula. The text starts with "<div class="vaning"></div><div class="namn">" and I want to remove “<div class="vaning"></div>” in the beginning.

Hello!, I want to create an automation to send an email from outlook using Airtable. I have everything, and for trigger, I want to use the date of birth, but in the current year. I use a formula that I’ve found in another topic that is DATEADD( Birthday, DATETIME_DIFF(TODAY(), Birthday, ‘years’),‘years’ ) But I have one problem. A lot of dates, when the formula runs, instead of 2022, put 2021, and I don’t know why. Anyone could help me? I don’t know if it is a format problem or what Thank you

I am using airtable to plan several jobs and projects. I’m looking to add week numbers into the gantt chart and defined table views. For the gantt, they could be milestones? Is there any decent way of doing this please? Thanks in advance. Pete

Hello, I have two tables. One table the primary key is dates. Every entry is a new date. On the second table, I’m trying to show the list of dates so that it can show up for calendar view. Since when I connect tables it doesn’t understand that the primary key is a date, I use the dateparse function. However, if there’s 2 dates, dateparse doesn’t work. Is it possible to get multiple dates?

I am creating a base to control the reservations of a parking lot. I have the seats and reservations created, but I can’t get Airtable to prevent me from reserving the same seat more than once in a day. I have only managed that if the place is already occupied, it does not offer it to me, but if the entry is on a future day, it continues to propose it as available.

How can I automatically create a new row of data in airtable from my squarespace account with the product data, custom product form, data, and customer data?

I’m a total newbie to JavaScript, and pretty proud of myself that I’ve figured out how to connect to my company’s API to get store information. console.log(await storeInfo.json()); is displaying all of the JSON returned from the API call, but now how do I get that data out of the JSON? Example: CONSOLE.LOG :arrow_forward: (1) [Object] :arrow_forward: 0: Object 1. StoreNumber: “1234” 2. StoreName: “Joe’s Market” 3. :arrow_forward: StorePhoneNumbers: Array(2) :arrow_forward: 0: Object Description: “Fax” PhoneNumber: “800-555-1212” :arrow_forward: 1: Object Description: “Landline” PhoneNumber: “800-555-2121” How can I pull the store name and phone numbers out into individual variables that I can do stuff with?

I need to copy sets of data from Google sheets over to Airtable’s mulitselect field. I have successfully copied the Example A sets of data into a multiselect and it works. But for some reason Example B data copies only 1 set of data, not the entire data set. How can I achieve the same results as example A for example B. Example A contentIdComplete: 5ff7f3ea61d89c3d4f1a00f6,5ff7f40f4d6d0a37a3879004,601bdf764ac7ca3c4ae31211,601be02d58c9a36f26a0f9b8,60226b2bca657c6d5a43ccd1,60226d622a2f924017052bcc, Example B contentIdCompleteDate : 1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037,1616704037, Watch the Loom video https://www.loom.com/share/825d9c899c7c4762817030d95def3ad1

I’m creating a table to help develop products. I would like to have certain parts determine pricing. So if I’m creating bikes for example - each type of seat or wheel will affect the price. Example: Seat A = $50 Seat B = $10 Wheel A = $100 Wheel B = $200 Seat A + Wheel B = $250 Seat B + Wheel A = $110 The real one would have several more options, but that’s the main idea. Ideally there would be a “Wheel” field where you could choose A or B. Same with a Seat field. The Pricing would then calculate the total of whatever configuration you’ve chosen. Thanks for any help!

I just restored, using an automated snapshot, this morning, my work saved on Jan. 16th…simply because I needed to check back at something I did. Now, I can’t restore my work back to this morning, and I feel like I have lost my work from then to now. Are my automated snapshots, including this morning, going to eventually come back? Since it said when I originally restored, that my work from after Jan. 16 to this morning, wasn’t going to be lost, am I going to eventually be able to restore it? Or is there a way to restore it now?

I’m trying to create a personal goal/habits tracker that updates automatically as I change the status/mark the checkbox. There’s two fields here the name of my goals and the categories I’ve called “subfocus.” The problem is that when I run an automation to my link the record into my tracking sheet, the automation replaces the record instead of adding it. I was going to use a “count” field to tally up all of the completed objectives, but it only gives a single record, it doesn’t update them. Any thoughts on how I can get the automation to add in the record, not update it?

Hello AirTable Community! I’ve been wracking my brain for hours now so thought I’d see if I could get some infusion of help from the group at large. Basically, I have a base with with a table called “Categories” in it that has 13 different product categories as the name field. I have a second table (in the same base) that has a full list of product names with their associated category. I would like to lookup from the “Categories” table and pull into one field all the product names that are in that category. This sounds weird ( I think? ) but it’s my current solution to an Airtable to Webflow collections sync so that I can have a category collection that still allows me to access product information, if that makes sense. I’ve been successful in linking the tables but this would require me to go through and individually select each item (like tagging?) which is cumbersome, ripe for error, and annoying because the second table will update relatively frequently with new product values

Is ‘loading’ a record the right concept. Up to now I’ve been using lines like: let record = await input.recordAsync("Who is Mum", view); and in my head this has then let me wokr with a chosen record. But now I want to ‘load’ a record from a ‘link to another record field’ and I suspect I’m missing a fundamental point somewhere: My code: let table = base.getTable("Characters") let deadMen = table.getView("Living Males") var deadMansRecord = await input.recordAsync("Who Died", deadMen); let theWiddow = deadMansRecord.getCellValue("Spouse") let theWiddowID = theWiddow[0].id console.log(theWiddow) console.log(theWiddowID) let widdowHome = theWiddow.getCellValueAsString("Nation of Birth") console(widdowHome) and the result when I run it for Albert. Why is my getCellValueAsString(“Nation of Birth”) not returning Germany? Reagrds Neil

Hello! Is there a way to sort tables and ignore articles? For example, if we are using a big list of movie or book titles with the words THE, AN, A before the title.

I added a number of titles and instead of adding them to the bottom of the records, airtable randomly interspersed them into the existing records and linked and unlinked other fields - I need to roll back the base like an hour

Hello, new to scripting, running into an issue on a single line as I hack my way through. Just trying to update script var “totes” to be 10 times the value recorded from the single select field “Pts this week”. So if “Pts this week” has a value of 7, the script var totes should be 70 after this line is what I am trying to accomplish. The line below gives me NAN so I’m doing something wrong on this particular line. If I am not mistaken, NUMBER() should do the trick as the single select value of 7 will be a string if taken as is. Anyway, here is the line. Any help is appreciated. totes = 10 * Number(record.getCellValue("Pts this week")); Thanks in advance

I have 15 different views in the same table. The field named “phone number” is hiden in each view. Is there any way to reveal this field in all views at once? (I guess batch update can’t reveal or hide fields)

Hi Airtable! I have a scenario that creates new records, from one base to another. I created a filter, but it does seem to be working. Did I create the correct filter? Mary

Hello. I’m trying to create a custom application for sending SMS from Airtable. Actually there already exist an app like that Airtable Support Send SMS app With the send SMS app, you can send a list of phone contacts in an Airtable base mass text messages, using the Twilio API. Please note that you need a working Twilio API key to use this app. The se... but for some reasons I can’t use Twilio service. So I’ve got a code from telecom provider which I’m working with, and this code is working when I run it on my own computer, it sends SMS. So I wrote the function in my Airtable custom app with this code, but it’s doesn’t work when I trying to call this function function sendSMS(){ const https = require('https'); const data = JSON.stringify({ auth: {apikey: 'API key'}, data: { message: 'TEST.', sender: {text:'TEST'}, recipients: [{phonenr:'+421XXXXXXXXX'}]

I have a form for a Contacts table that collects specific data. I have another table for Leads that I need to pull this data into. I already have it linked and that works fine. The problem lies when the form is submitted. I would like a way to auto-match this data. For example, the Contacts Table contains an “email address” field. The Leads table is set up to pull the Contact info from the new record into different sort options. As it stands right now, I have to go in and manually link the contact info. I thought that by adding an email address field into the Leads table I could somehow auto-match it. Any ideas? Thank you.

This doesn’t seem to have been asked before, which suprises me. Is it possible to do this? ie use an existing script like a procedure?

My phone application has frozen and is showing an orange screen

Hello Community! I am having a little trouble configuring something in my base that I’m hoping you can help with. Essentially, my team runs clinics in the community (daily, different locations). We have the following set-up: Table 1: Clinic Schedule Table 2: Personnel (organized by staff type) I’d like to figure out a way to assign staff to clinics in Table 1 using a linked field, but in a way that allows a process of elimination - meaning that if somebody has already been assigned to that particular date, they cannot be assigned to more than one clinic. The caveat here is that we obviously need to schedule those nurses for multiple days in a row. Is there a way to set up my base to support this? Thanks in advance!
