Hey all, Is anyone else having an issue with colors not showing on shared Gantt Chart views? This is an issue that just came up today that has not been an issue before. I have a Gantt Chart view showing a list of projects grouped and colored by their status (On Track=Green, Risk w/Mitigation=Yellow, etc). I have had this view shared for some time without issue, but today I was informed the bars in the Gantt chart are not showing color and are simply white… When I view the Gantt Chart view from my base, the bars are colored correctly in line with their status, but once I open the shared view link, the bars are white, not colored. I have changed the settings regarding the colors and have unshared/re-shared/generated a new link to no avail. Is anyone else having this issue? Including screenshots below: 1st Screenshot is inside my base: 2nd Screenshot is from the shared link: Thanks.

I want to setup a base for the sole purpose of sending reminders to clients. I would link to my CRM of contacts. There would be say 50 different potential reminders I would want to assign the reminders to multiple people from different client firms On the reminder date I would like an email message to automatically send an email to each person assigned to the reminder I want to make sure I set this up the most efficient way and can I have automated emails go to all the assigned contacts without anyone seeing the others it was also emailed to.

Hi All - this may seem small but it would be so helpful if it was possible to minimize the area in the sidebar where you can create a new type of view. I have so many views now and this area now covers up a 3rd of them.

I want to run a dedupe app through the script when a particular field gets updated. Is it possible or anyone has tried it? Thanks!

Is it possible to get an extract of a chart we create using the airtable apps? ideally a PDF?

I am not getting the markdown result while using the web clipper block. Currently, testing it for Linkedin jobs. But getting the simple text result even without the line breaks.

I like this new block, but I’m not sure I really understand how it’s best used. My observations/questions are: It seems like the CSS Selector feature is only usable for pages that have the same format (a la the Twitter profile clipper in this forum). Is that accurate? It seems like the web clips are manual one-time events, meaning that you would have to go the website again to update your table with any new data? Is that correct? Thanks! Tom

I’m having trouble with Zaps being ‘Throttled’ by Zapier. Could this be because the trigger (a new record in a table) is in a table that is acting as a sync source (i.e. there are other bases syncing data from that table). It’s the only reason I can think of for why these zaps are being throttled as they are simple 2-step zaps. Any help or advice much appreciated!

Is there any type of shortcut/hotkey to force a “sync now” in all tables in the base? I often find myself in a situation where I just updated a source base, and am now in the destination base waiting for another table to sync in that base. Thank you!

I have an Employee Directory Base. My employees have professional licenses that have expiration dates. Is there a way to have it notify myself and/or the employee when the expiration date is coming up?

I’m a relatively new user (started last week-ish), and while I love Airtable overall, one part of its behavior is becoming a little frustrating. I’ve got a fairly simple base where I’m tracking events tied to specific clients. My first table is a list of events by date, with the client being selected in a field that’s a lookup from the second table. The problem I’m having is with delays in being able to select an option in that lookup field. Sometimes Airtable is fairly peppy, and the available choices appear in a fraction of a second. Other times I have to wait several seconds for the options to appear. I thought at one point that there might be a difference in responsiveness between tabbing into the field and typing part of the client name to whittle down the list for selection, versus clicking the + icon in that field to pull up the full client list. However, I’ve had delays with both scenarios. My tables are fairly small: 39 events so far in the event table, and only five clients t

Hello everyone, I am new to Airtable although not to databases. Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me. I am trying to embed a View of a grid table on a web page. The table gives information about traditional fiddle tunes (name, key, etc.). I had no problem following the instructions and getting the iFrame code. I modified the code slightly to change the width from the default 533 to 1200. My website is being built with RapidWeaver 8.8.3 using Stacks 4.2.2 and Foundation 6.8.4. Everything went well, and when I published the page the View was there and all the controls worked. However, when I looked at the web inspector (using Safari on a Mac running Big Sur), there were some error messages (details shortly). I tried embedding the View on other pages, decreasing third-party involvement until finally I just uploaded an index.html page created in a text editor. The result was always the same: the View functioned just fine but there were error messages, always about the same.

Hi Everyone! I am currently trying to automate my tasks for projects. What I would like to do is have a date that a project is starting and then based on when I need specific tasks done - to have another date populate. EX: I am kitting a project on 4/20/2021 this means that I need the gift note for the project to start one week out. How can I have that auto populate when my tasks status of “gift note” is selected. So to reiterate because this is becoming confusing: I have a project with a 4/20 deadline I choose a “single select” task of “get gift note assets” which always will be 2 weeks out from the deadline. How do I get a date to auto populate when I choose a specific task with the specific timeframe needed.

I’m really tired with airtable — is there any option to share base without paying for every person that joins the table. Please give me some insights.

Hello, Currently we have 5 collaborators for our AirTable workspace. I would like to reduce this to 2, in order to reduce the cost associated with being billed for this many users. Could you please let me know how can I cancel the number of collaborators? Thanks!

Is it possible to undo a “delete table” action? I carelessly deleted a table when I was playing around with the form design. I thought I can undo this action, but the “History” records actions on table-base. When I clicked “undo”, it only undo the last action of that table, not the whole base. Is there a way to recover the table? (Snapshot was taken twelve hours ago.) BTW, the table I deleted was an empty one. No valuables lost. However, I would like to know the way to recover my table if I do the same thing next time.

All of my tasks have a dependency, but only some show the critical path highlighted in yellow. I cannot figure out why the critical path is showing for some and not the others. Is there a trick to getting the critical path to work on the Gantt view? Thanks in advance.

I created my Airtable using the google sign-up and have never created a password for my Airtable login. Now when I’m trying to update my email associated with my Airtable account by clicking on the ‘Edit Email’ button in the account settings, it asks for the current password which I don’t have. How do I go about updating my email address? Please help me out here.

I’m looking to create a form on my website which if a visitor enters their email, they get access my airtable. Is there a way to use a webhook to send that email to airtable and grant access automatically?

I see several similar discussions but can’t find the right solution that actually works. I’m trying to get a link to an image that’s attached to one of my sheets in an airbase, for use in a page designer block. I can get a link to the thumbnail version easily enough by right clicking and choosing copy shortcut, but this is just the thumbnail and not a high enough resolution. I can’t figure out how to get a working URL to the full resolution pdf file that works in the page designer block.

Hi everyone - I’ve got a conundrum! I am trying to provide (a) a list of contact information and (b) corresponding docs to a client. Currently this information is split over: 3 Airtable sheets; and an external series of folders (and document contents) compressed in a zip file, along with an associated spreadsheet with contact information that helps a user find the folder (and associated contents) of interest. Ideally they need to be: merged into one consolidated set of “Folders” and information that enables a user to find the correct folder (to search and view the folder contents) external to Airtable; OR external folders (and contents) uploaded to Airtable, then merged into one sheet (also merging the other 3 Airtable sheets). Any thoughts on the best (easiest, fastest) way to do this (without it being a massive grind of a job)?

Hi, does anyone know if there there a limit to how many devices can be logged in on a single user account? (e.g. Multiple desktops, Smartphone, Tablet etc.) I have a couple of desktop workstations around my office which I want to keep logged in to my airtable. I don’t really want to keep logging in on each different device when I need to use it. Ideally I would like to switch seamlessly between each workstation e.g. create a record using my main computer, then continue working on that record at a different computer without having to log in to my account again. Would this be possible using airtable? I hope that makes sense. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Hi, We use airtables as a small team for management of an organization. However, as the team leader, I want to view the updates made by my other teammates at the end of the day. Revision history for each record can be displayed SEPARATELY. However, I want to view this collectively without entering each record one by one. Is there such a feature? Thank you for your help.

I have a shift scheduling form that I would like to show more details of what each shift entails. In the current form, the text is cut off after a certain number of characters, but each of these items has another line or two of text below. When I select an option, the form shows the entirety of the text, but it is important that volunteers can review the information about the shift before selecting it. Is there a way to show multiple lines of the text in the form selection? Or, workarounds to do something similar? Thanks!

Hi there, I’ve created a Kanban view to manage potential donations I’ll be making this year. One of the fields it is pulling into the card is “potential giving amount”. In grid view, this column automatically provides a sum of these amounts at the bottom. Is there a way to do this in Kanban view? Thanks, Kim
