Is there a way of adding “mock” collaborators to a base? (show name without having to send out an actually link to someone’s email) I am creating a project tracking base and would like to add mock collaborators until I am able to release the base for others to actually see and use.

Greetings Airtable team! Since it’s launch, I’ve been using Airtable Interfaces to create a companys with report, using charts and other options. However only pie and donut charts are working and returning with data, other charts like bar (which is the one I need) do not work and only return empty. I believe no information was incorrectly filled, since when I choose another type of chart it works. Anyone having similar problems?

My goal is to automatically create different page with the information I want to show to the client and then have the link shareable. is it possible in some way? Particularly I need to show a map component and the information of the record. Do you have in mind some solution?

Hi all, I would like to depict different Date ranges in the timeline view (e.g. like this example pic from Excel): However, I struggle to find a solution. I do not necessarily need the timeline view but I have a lot of projects who all have the same setup (x different stages with follow in a more or less defined sequence): Does anyone have an idea how to realize such an overview? Dividing each project into 5 subcategories and then using a Ganttchart seems to be extremely labor intensive. I would even be happy if I could have a simple continous timeline from start to end as offered today with milestones depicted in between at dates X, Y and Z. Like this example:

Hi everyone! I am currently importing data from a CSV sheet and I am trying to see if there is anyway I can sync the two so that when I add new rows to the CSV sheet, it automatically updates on Airtable. Is this possible and if so, how?

Hi! I am currently working on creating a base for some of our clients but the information needed for the records is housed in our database. Ideally, I would like to transfer the information from PostgreSQL to Airtable to make sure everything is accurate. Is there any way this is possible without using Zapier/integromat? If it is possible, will this solution offer continual updates or just a one-time import? Has anyone used PostgreSQL or some other platform like periscope to add information to their base? Thanks!

How do i remove and just gets the record_id form the record. without having to pick it let url = “https://hook.integromat.com/jdvimkhmxdtt5x7u5fomjh09hpxxxxxxx?recordID=”; let table = base.getTable(“Opslag :floppy_disk: ”); let view = table.getView(“Opslag som skal laves”); let record = await input.recordAsync(“Vælg opslag”, view); await fetch(url + record.id);

Hi everyone, I’m new here but already in love with Airtable. I need your help to solve my problem. Here is the case. I’m Product Manager and I’m responsible for prioritization. I want to involve everyone in the company to this process, by giving them a possibility to set their priorities within their department. To achieve that, I’d like to share with them their own table → which will be a sync table from my master table. This table includes every solution we’ve mapped so far. Here is an example: They can’t modify anything here, because it’s a sync table, but I would like them to set priorities. Nothing from among ratings (stars) or votes (number of votes) doesn’t work, because this way of prioritization results in the end that “everything is very urgent” or several of features are rated with same number of stars. So I want them, to prio

Hi, I would like to see a view of the Year by seeing each month. Is this possible in AirTable?

Hello, We are trying to use an API key generated by myself (the owner) and it works fine to read data, but not when we try to write data (It says ‘You are not authorized to perform this operation’). The same code used to work previously with different API keys. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you. Catherine

I want to trigger an automation based on the first instance of a cell, not on any follow up variables. Is there a way to do this?

I saw this article that shows you how to let people schedule a time with you: How to make a simple booking system It’s similar to what I want except I want to let about 20 people reserve the same spot, and hide it once its full. I’d also like to be able to let customers know how many people have reserved a spot in each given time if possible. Is this possible? Is there an example of someone doing something similar? Also, is this something that Interface Designer could help with?

I am a new user and here is what I would like to have happen: I have a contact list-when I add or change a contact, I want to obtain the city and state, based on zip code, from a google sheet sheet which contains all this desired information, and update the record in airtable with the city and state. Everything I find wants me to trigger from changes in google sheets and update google sheets. Does anyone know how I can lookup info from one(airtable) by looking for a match in the other (google sheets) and write back to fields into airtable?

Hi. I have a host team at a restaurant. I want them to be able to take messages and submit to the managers in a form. How can I do this without them all having individual access. Can I keep a “form” open on the computer for them to send?

hello I am new to Airtable and want to use it to track my new clients, addresses, phone numbers, etc. Then I want to be able to pull that client info into other tabs. Who can help me? Also, is it possible to do a 1-1 session with one who can look at my table specifically and help me design it?

Hello, I’m a new user, and I’ve read several posts about how to link fields. None of the suggestions seem to work for me. Perhaps I’m missing something obvious. I have a base that tracks host families. One table has general admin information about the families including their current hosting status. I’m setting up another table to track availability in different quarters. I linked the status field from admin information table to the availability table. Nothing is auto filling. I understand auto fill may be the issue, but when I try to manually enter the information I get the “Look up fields should be configured in the field menu drop down” and when I try to copy and paste from the source table, I get the message “Can’t paste into this field. The destination field is computed.” These are two recommendations I’ve read about . It works in another table, and I can’t fig

Hello everyone! I’d highly appreciate it if some could advise how to manage the below task: I am building a “recipe cost calculator”, where each recipe has a different amount of ingredients to use. I want to make a form where chef could input data and create new recipe, were main goal is to calculate the cost of this recipe. So, chef inputs the Recipe name, image, category, chooses ingredients, inputs its amount to use, and in the final box should appear a cost ($) of the recipe based on ingredients and their amounts. The existing “Food cost calculator” does not have option of calculation in this manner. It’s more general and is not as precise as I am want to build. I am struggling to build a form where chef can choose the ingredient and input its amount to use. Formulas for calculations are not a problem. Below is a sample form

Hello. I have two tables - Orders and Shipments. Orders are pre populated using an integration with Hubspot. Shipments are created manually using a ‘Create Shipment’ form on the Shipments table. I want to assign Shipments to Orders by clicking on a button in the record of the ‘Order’ named something like ‘Add Shipment’. This should then open a URL for the ‘Create Shipment’ form on the Shipments table. Ideally here though I want to pre fill the Order Number of the record that I clicked the button on. I have created a linked record field in the Shipments table which links to the Orders table. I have then appended the following to the URL for the button: “prefill_Order Number={RECORD_ID}” The linked record displays and I can choose the order number manually but it doesn’t pre fill. Can you let me know where I’m going wrong if possible? Thanks! Dan

Most of my attachments are no more displayed. The files name are still there but are replaced by a picture icon. The files are there too (I can download them from Airtable). Same things happen if I add new attachments : the files are imported, but are replaced by an icon. I have a presentation to a customer in a few hours…

I know this had been reported in the past, and had been marked as resolved, but it seems that the issue came back. Simply put, image attachments are not displayed, neither in the Android app nor on the web browser. You can still download the attachment, just not have it displayed in the table. The issue is happening with old images that used to display correctly as well as with newly uploaded images. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

We do see issues today around Airtable attachments not being loaded and instead throwing back 500 error: https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/35670b1d2eb89a62cdb718ec6acbd547/3a6815f8/Alisonhomepage.PNG https://dl.airtable.com/.attachmentThumbnails/b3d19273f72a3d6a7747ec71e3cbab0e/5dc94b33
