Hi there, I hope you are doing good! I have 15 members on Slack, and on a single-select field in my base. When I create a record, I have to select a staff member I want to assign a task to from that dropdown. The thing is, is it possible to create an automation that sends a Slack message to that particular member, that a task is allotted to him/her? Or should I add my staff members as base collaborators - will it be possible to send a message to that selected member on Slack? Any help is appreciated! Thanks! :grinning:

I keep coming back to Airtable hoping to be able to use it for our customer job booking and scheduling. The one thing that I keep hitting a wall with in any type of platform similar to Airtable is the lack of ability to have recurring records that can generate, in advance or at the time of entering the job, all events in a calendar view. Like how most major calendars do. We currently use CalendarWiz, then import into excel, change columns around, assign customer in a column to match the record etc. 90% of our job bookings are recurring. A mixture of daily, twice weekly, 1, 2, 3, 4… weekly, etc. Is there an easy work around in Airtable if it doesn’t have this option. The view of the jobs at least a month in advance is crucial to organise and plan our routes, workflows and employees in advance. The zap type things I have been reading I don’t think will work for us. Any ideas how to work with this. A template maybe for each type of job entry. One for once off jobs, one for recurrin

Hello, I’m trying to figure out a way to use the API to get all records modified TODAY().

I have a master student data that I want to roll up lessons created per student into (on a per-student level). It looks like this The curriculum (lessons) table has data like this: When I create a linked record and attempt to roll it up, only 1 lesson is returned per student (the one that was connected to the student name when I selected the student in the linked record field). Any ideas about how I could fix this, please? Thank you! -Monica

Hello we have a cell in a table which shows different text at the exact same time for 2 different users. The cell is consisting of long text and this is the first time we have noticed this problem. Is this a common problem or just a temporary glitch? And do you know of a solution? It has only happened one time but out of curiosity I would like to know if anyone else have experienced it and if its a known issue?

Hi there! So we have two different airtables, one for clients, and one for freelance workers. The “client AT” is mostly transaction based, meaning per project they sign on its one record. Can be multiple separate records with only one client. There’s one column here where the freelancer’s names are also included as reference. The “freelancers AT” is mostly profile based, from the recruitment department, so its one profile per record. Is it possible to automate linking the client ID to the freelancer’s profile? Like creating a client history per profile. Thanks so much!

I am hoping someone can shed some light on a topic for me. I have a client who wants to be able to email one of her clients from table one with linked information from table two.

Thank you for your help. - T

Hi, I am trying to integrate Airtable in my local react.js application. I made a tool/template in Airtable now I want to integrate it into my local react app. I want this template to work for every particular logged-in user means the logged-in users can see their own space of my template whenever they logged in. for ex: I attached a very rough example of what I want to make: I want this table to be associated with the logged-in user is there any oAuth available to integrate the whole Airtable logged-user table to my react application like this instead of this table can I integrate my custom template/tool of airtable on my site ?

Hello to all, I have created dashboards that are automatically sent to my colleagues every Monday morning. However, I am only able to send them an email with the link to this dashboard. Would it be possible to integrate the dashboard in an email or a slack message? Or to export the dashboard as a pdf to attach it to the email? These questions answer two problems I’m dealing with: Extracting information from a dashboard at a specific time (PDF) for a monthly report To give more visibility to my dashboards, the link not being very attractive Thanks !

Hello! I will try to explain a situation to see if you can help me with some solution please. I have different bases for sports competitions. (Football Championship, Basketball Championship, Volleyball Championship, etc), and all these competitions share the same talents (narrators, commentators and producers). It would be great if this information were consolidated, converging on another base so that we could have an overview of the team’s overall roster, avoiding the same talent being called for different events on the same day and time. Is that clear? I’m a beginner in Airtable, I couldn’t think of an effective solution here yet. Remembering that I already use the base synchronization, so much that all these talents are in a single base of company employees, synchronized with all the other bases of Competitions (Products).
