My team would like to build a simple Employees base, that mirrors our company’s Active Directory. Has anyone had success in either syncing the two, or scheduling a CSV export from AD that can then be imported into AT? Open to any/all solves! THANX.

Hello! I’m setting up a form where respondents would include their email address. I’d like to set up an automation that would use that email address to select a linked field based on the email addresses matching. Possible? Thanks!

Hi, I sync my google calendar with my Airtable, everything works fine so far. the only thing I couldn’t figure out is, how do I filter or set to pull only the events that I mark as ‘yes’ to the invitations. In airtable it shows all the calendar events even the ones that I’ll not attend. I’d appreciate if I can get some help with that. thanks in advance! Baran

So when I create an Attachment Field Type, I can add various attachments and I can access One Drive to upload documents BUTI cannot access my Business Account…only my personal One Drive. The Air Table system is pointing to live.com for the upload and not microsoftonlinecom. When it points to live.com, it asks for a login and passcode but will NOT allow me to use my Work Account. If Air Table could use the microsoftonline.com as the link into One Drive then I can select to use my Work or my Personal One Drive as the source. Please, can this be done Air Table ?

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to how best to set up the following workflow. We are wanting to bring in info (sender, date, subject and main body message) from emails received (across a number of different email accounts). Once the above info has found its way into Airtable we are then wanting to send information from these new records to 3rd party email address or phone numbers. Not really sure where/how best to start tackling this so any advice/guidance would be appreciated. Cheers

Hi, I’m wondering if the following situation is a bug or not. Currently, when we create a linked record field, the “card” that is shown once a record was actually linked, shows the fields in an order that belongs to the very first view that linked record’s table belong to. What I found, is that when you configure the linked record field, to be limited to a particular view, then the fields arrangement from such view is not used to render the “card”. Is this correct? Thanks

I am trying to push content + an image from Airtable through Zapier and schedule a post in Hootsuite. The issue I am running into is that in Zapier, it’s asking for a media URL for my video or image. But my image in Airtable is a jpeg. Do I have to convert my image to a URL in order for this integration to work? Thank you in advance for your help -Newbie Airtabler

Hello! I’ve created a gallery that I’d like to embed on my client’s website, but there are a few issues: The title of each record is cut off in the preview of the gallery cards. Upon clicking the cards to get the expanded view, the title shows up twice: once large (which is nice) at the top of the expanded view, and then again below that as a field. The gallery of course uses associated images as the “cover field,” and I did not click “image” in the customized list of fields to include on the cards, yet the images show up at the bottom of the expanded view — oddly, under a banner that announces “1 hidden field” (so why show them, if they’re supposed to be hidden???) I wish I could customize different fields to show between the preview and the expanded view, but I’ve read elsewhere this is not possible. I’m just mentioning it here in case there’s a solution I missed in my search of the forum this morning.

Does anyone have a Web clipper for grabbing book information from Amazon? Title, Book Cover Photo, Author, Summary and Genre? Bonus: maybe length and Age range (for kids books)? I’m creating a free resource for parents and grandparents looking for great kids books and this type of Web clipper would add huge efficiency in the process. Thanks!

Hi - this is maybe a pretty basic question, but after reading through some help docs (e.g. how to link records, using intermediary tables to join many-many relationships, etc), I’m think that either I’m missing something, OR airtable isn’t a good fit for what I’m trying to do. Basically, I have 1 table, the ‘Research Questions’ table, which is populated with 5 columns and 4 rows. Column 1 is a list of Properties. Rows 1-4 each contain a different property: Property A, Property B, Property C, Property D. Column 2 is a particular Feature - let’s call it Feature A. The remaining columns are Feature B, Feature C, Feature D. The intersecting cells are research questions which combined the intersecting Property and Feature. So, Column 2, Row 1 is a research question based on Property A and Feature A, etc. This results in 16 research questions. I would like to duplicate this table into, say, 5 new tables, with each table representing

When viewing a record that has multiple tasks assigned to it, I cannot find a way to have a task removed from that view once its completed. I understand that I can filter out completed tasks by customizing a table view, but cannot seem to remove tasks when looking at an individual record. I do not want to delete these tasks altogether… Thanks

Automation keeps shutting itself off after 5 seconds. Tested all the step success all the way through. Trigger: New Google form Submission Action: Find Record based on email Action: Script to format data Action: Create new Record with data and linking to found record Error just says try again no information Airtable Documentation suggests it’s issue with managed accounts so I did a reconnect still no difference. Seems to be the Google Forms connection ideas as to why when the connection works and tests successfully welcome

Hi folks, I’m in the process of moving some data from Google Sheets into Airtable. In the Google sheets I have three tabs. The first two have data added manually. The third tab uses formula to pull through the data from tabs 1 & 2. This formula is working fine in Google sheets, but I get an error message in AirTable when trying to switch the column type to formula. I’m sure it’s something simple, like I’m referencing the wrong fields in the formula, but as I’m a newbie to AirTable, I’m struggling to find a solution.

I am trying to create a hierarchy within one table. The Gantt-view is only getting me halfway there through the predecessors and successors. Unfortunately, the most vital part is missing. When I select multiple predecessors they don’t show up as having one successor. It is only displayed that the successor has multiple predecessors. I know I could fix this with automation but I thought this should be a basic feature. Database wise I prefer Airtable over Notion but Notion has this figured out already. When I select that I want to link to the same table it gives me the option for syncing in both ways. This means I have two columns within one table which update each other. This would be a gamechanger for Airtable!

Hi - As a one person marketing team I use Airtable as my master of record for collateral, etc. The sales team has asked for a central repository for materials. a perfectly valid request and I’d like to use Airtable for this as I don’t want to have to populate yet another tool. So, I thought using a gallery view would be a nice approach and, indeed it is a nice visual layout. It’s a shame that I can’t group the gallery by category, only sort and filter seem to be available. My biggest concern is when a gallery card is clicked, it opens a popup that displays all the fields in the table. Since I use the table for tracking, posting, usage, etc there are a lot of fields, and the vast majority they shouldn’t or it wouldn’t make sense for them to see. All I want them to see when they click on a card is - document title, direct URL and download the file. How can I accomplish this? I’ve tried to create a different grid view, but the gallery always seems to be built off the mas

We have a base with many tables and one table is over 100k records. We’re on a paid plan. Today we can’t even add records to tables with only 2100 records. Is anyone else experience ridiculous slowness? Our people can’t work. Trying to determine if it’s wide spread or us.

Hi I understand about giving collaborators “permissions” but the “lowest permission” I can assign a collaborator is a “read only”. How do I configure it so that some collaborators cannot see certain view or fields? In other words only admins and editors can see certain information. Some of the information we have is extremely sensitive and I don’t want this being in the wider domain.

I am building a form that links to another table. I need to search the contents of the table to add the record. The default behavior of a field linked to another table only allows the user to search the records by the information in the first column. But in my linked table the first column is only the last name. I want the user to be able to search other columns, like the first name, county, etc. Is it possible to set a form up so that searching for records in another table searches multiple fields? It appears someone asked this 2 years ago and did not get a response:

Hi, I get a date in a field, using Rollup and Max (value). Now I would like to know the number of day from now, usinv DATETIME_DIFF First column is the rollup with max value. Seem to work since I have a summary MaxDate. Second colum is formula Today, and third is the calculation of the difference between two column before. Formula of column Today Formula of column Calculation Why do I got such an important result, instead of 0 for instance for 12/05/2021 Any idea ? Thank you

I have an issue with data prefilling into my form-view from my gallery view. See below. I have a set of products where I’d like user to be able to shortlist and then go stright into a form where the selected products from gallery views is prefilled in the form as their selections. Kinda like a shopping cart? I checked the scripting api in bubble and it seems we cannot use localstorage or any of the client side caching options. So any other ways to do this? Right now, I can just prefil one product at a time with the request a sample button. Also - while I am here, is there a way to get a nice view of the multi select choice when in the form view? I can only see the below layout when using my form with a logged in user and not as an anonymous web user.

Hello! I’m fairly new to using Airtable but right now I am creating an application where I pull data from a table I created and populate React components with that data. It’s a pretty simple integration and has been pretty straight forward for the most part but the only thing I am struggling with at the moment is pulling an image I stored in a table. I know Airtable has the “Attachment” datatype which is what I’ve been using but it’s been causing me runtime errors every time I try to pull the image for each record. Is there a better way to store and fetch images using Airtable? Is it better to use a third party alternative?

Hi everyone, I want to create a formula that gives the first day of the current month, one that gives the last date of the current month, and one for the first day of the next month. Does anyone have suggestions? Thanks in advance

Hey there. So, I have a base with a table of inventory of devices that includes their IP address. On that table, I already made a button column that where you click on it and it takes you to that device using the protocol best suited for it (VNC, HTTPS, SSH, etc…) based on the device’s type. (The formula was quite scary). These devices are link to another table that lists all the rooms. What I am hoping I can do is consolidate all these buttons to the room in a way that you can simply look at the room and connect to the intended device. I tried to do this via a lookup/rollup on the rooms table, but that got hinky cause I sometimes have two of the same type of device in a room so lookups and rollups return more than one IP. Any suggestions or thoughts? Need more info? P.S. - I wish button labels could be generated with a formula too.
