Hello there, In setting up grid views I noticed that when a non-account holder has access to a view, there is a “Try Airtable for free” pop-up on the right side of the view. Is there any way to not have that pop up? Also, for both account holders and non-account holders, a “Use this data” button is at the top right of the view. Is there anyway to hide or disable this? Thanks, Blake

Hello there , Is there any way to create conditional select fields in airtable? I want to change select option values for one select field on the basis of another select field dynamically. For instance I have 3 dropdowns A, B and C . A has 10 values , If I select 1 value in A select field , B field should display content related to A field and similarly C field should display the content related to B field. Is it feasible in airtable .I have tried to use views to achieve this but there are a number of options related to each field , so it will be quite troublesome to create view for each possible combination. Is there any alternative that we can make use of to achieve the end result? This functionality is implemented in google sheets with the help of google scripts but I want to use airtable to manage my data. here is the link for google sheet functionality : Loom | Free Screen & Video Recording Software

Hi, I am trying to call AirTable from inside a Lambda function using a local instance (using AWS SAM). If I just use node/js as is, it all works fine (so I know the code should work). But once I put it inside the Lambda and try to run it, I see nothing in the console. Any clues as to what is going on? This is the code I am running let response; exports.lambdaHandler = async (event, context) => { var Airtable = require('airtable'); var base = new Airtable({apiKey: 'k***************3'}).base('ap****************8jC'); base('Course Locations').select({ maxRecords: 3, view: "Myview" }).eachPage(function page(records, fetchNextPage) { records.forEach(function(record) { console.log('Retrieved');//, record.get('Name (Abbrev.)') }); }, function done(err) { if (err) { console.error(err); return; } }); try { response = { 'statusCode': 200, 'body'

Budget for this: $0; meaning I am looking for solutions that are free. Is it possible to automatically keep two tables the same when adding a field to the main table? I don’t need to sync data, but the fields themselves. Example: When I add a field to table 1, that field will also be added to table 2 in the same place. Or if I delete a field, that field will also be deleted in table 2.

Hi, I am planning to recommend Airtable to my client for the coming project. We have a few automation tasks which Airtable has been proved to be the best tool. While Airtable provides powerful automation/scripting abilities, I am wondering is it possible to access the webhook headers as well in addition to the body/payload. Thank you!

Hi all, Does anyone know how to forward emails (Gmail) to create a new record as a task in an Airtable To-Do list? Similar to the way I can forward emails to my ToDoist inbox or a receipt to my QuickBooks inbox? Thanks!

I would like to generate a unique primary key for each record of a table/database based on the following criteria: Use the first letter of the person’s first name. For example, a record with the first name of “Scott” will have the key beginning with an “S.” Followed by a four-digit sequence number starting with 0001. Example: If I was to create a new record for myself, my key is S0001. If the next entry has the first name of “Howard,” the key would be H0001. Then if I create a record for someone with the first name of Susan, the key would be S0002 because S0001 already exists. Similarly, Helen would be H0002. etc. Can this be done using Airtable? Thank you. Scott

I am hoping to find a FREE solution right now, if possible. This project I am working on is new so there is no money to spend on it. So I have a table that has an input form for measurements like so: Field 1 Name: Height Field Answer: 70cm Field 2 Name: Head circumference Field Answer: 8cm Field 3 Name: Foot length Field Answer: 6cm Is there a way to combine those fields into one after submitting the form and format them (Bullet points)? Example: Field 1 Name: Measurements Field Answer: Height: 70cm Head circumference: 8cm Foot Length: 6cm Thanks.

What my team and I are trying to accomplish. Is have external user select information from the form. Once the form is submitted have the information that is linked be filtered and show the individual the result of the information. E.G. User fills out a form and selects apples. Things that are linked/mapped to apples will show up for them.

Hello Everyone! I would like to know if there is anyway to sync collumns from differents tables in the same base, for example, I have the table “A” with collumns 1, 2,3 and another table “B” with collumns 4,5,6. I want to change fields on table B from collumns 4 and 5 and automaticly do the same on collumns 1 and 2 from table A, but dont sync the other fields at collumn 3 from table A. Any ideas? Please and TIA. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello, I am trying to figure out Airtable and how to make it work best. At the moment, I have products that can sell individually, let’s say a rose and sunflowers, but sometimes I sell them together in a bouquet (we can refer it as a package) which can constitute of 5 roses and 3 sunflowers. I think the main issue is that I have multiple products that have the same name (ex. sunflowers) that go into different packages (ex. bouquets). This is why linked records might not work best for my model. As of right now, I have all the products and packages as single select. I want to find a way to break up my package single select (bouquet) to be divided and entered as individual flowers. Is this a possibility? Best, Ines

I am a coach with many clients who I need to record their weekly weight in check. Wondering if anyone has a base/template similar to what I need and is willing to share for me to edit and use? Thanks!

I spotted an earlier post from Feb 2020 about enforcing two-factor authentication but I see that there have been no further announcements or a response from the Airtable team? I sent a message about 3-weeks ago now and I’ve not received a reply. The main reason that this is incredibly important is because when using Airtable as your CRM, we are holding a lot of very private data that under GDPR here in the UK needs to be secure. None of my 3 other collaborators use two-factor auth and this concerns me. Please can this be prioritised? Many thanks Catherine

Hi All! I am building a tool with Airtable as database and users can access using API. Is there a way I can review log of all user requests? I am especially interested in requests that failed to analyze and add those records to my Airtable db.

I am trying to create a template base with tables columns, automations, and synched tables that people can then duplicate to use on a per project basis (these are all very different projects with different biz units and we cannot just use one base for everything). I set up a base to act as a template but when I duplicate it, the syncs are all showing as broken. it looks like I have to re-add all the synch links. Is there something I am missing or is this approach just not going to work? We have some people who have to roll this out multiple times and they will have to cut-and-paste like 12 links for each base. Thanks

Hello everyone, I would to share a specific view with my client throughout the view share link (he hasn’t an airtable account) and I would like to give him the possibility to upload files to a specific record without adding new records. Is it possibile? I tried with a form but every time I upload a file I’m creating a new record while I would like to upload the file to an existing record. Thank you very much, Alex

I’m building a production calendar for a podcast. The Episodes are built on cards in Gallery view. The date fields are all episode-based, so there are fields for “interview date,” “delivery,” “air date” and so on, which end up on the Calendar. How do I add items to calendar that are not tied to an Episode? Specifically, I want to note the dates that our Host is not available to work with us. I can’t add those dates to the calendar without a Date Field, and I don’t know where to put that Date Field and how to input multiple dates. When I add it to the calendar manually with a new date field I invented, it creates a separate card for each event. There’s probably a stupid easy way to do this, but I’m new to Airtable and I can’t find an answer anywhere. Your suggestions are appreciated! Anny

Hi there, I would like to ask if it is possible to create a checkbox table in an Airtable form in which customers could check 1, 2, or 3 columns per row depending on their skills. Attached is an example of the checkbox table. Thanks,

Hallo! Could somebody explain me please how I can find my workspaces witch was with other people if I had changed email and password? I don’t see this workspaces. Thank you in advance!

A brief summary: I would like to create a form with time counting (count how long a person opens a form - start as they opened it, and then end as they submitted it) Thus, I tried create a table with a form [which contained 1field save the created milestone (which will be updated as people submitted the form - Created Time) + 1 Date field which will be recorded as people open the form]. For my form, I prefilled the time with NOW(), but it did not work well (NOW() merely refresh after about 15 mins). I wonder if my explanation is clear enough (if not, just state it, I’ll try my best to present it in another better way). In short, My purpose is to count the open time of my form, you guys can suggest any other solutions if available, or you can help me solve the prefill with NOW () problems. Thanks for your support!! :blush: :winking_face:

Is this new or have I just missed it?

Will there be any impact to our bases if we remove a billable collaborator who created and maintained said bases? If we remove a billable collaborator, will the system delete or alter some of the information tied to their account?

Hi! We have been using airtable for quite a while now. We set-up a form to get applications online from external users, however I noticed just today that when the shared link is clicked it now requires people to log-in despite the share settings turned on. Anyone experience the same issue??

Is it still not possible to use automations to insert multiple records into a linked record field? It works fine when I’m dealing with a single linked record, but not multiple. I can also paste comma separated record IDs via manual copy and paste, which shows multiple linked records, however, I would like to automate this process. When I copy the same string of text into a linked record field via Integromat, or using Airtable’s internal automations (last time I checked), I get an error. This seems weird given that I can copy and paste the same text manually with no problems. Does anyone know of a way to get around this limitation or if I’m doing something wrong here? Thanks!
