Hi! We recognised there is a “Gantt View BETA” (not the Gantt App) availale in the Views section. But it seems it is available ony for Admins. When will this be available for creators and will it also be available for free plans?

Hello Everybody I was wondering If I can do the following Can I include some Checkbox field And A 5-star Rating field from a form I have created in Airtbale ( embedded inside ) an email body: I will automatically trigger under certain conditions?

Let me know your thoughts, please! Thank you guys for your time Ahmed Elagami

Airtable charts app doesn’t have an option to get html which can then be embedded in another site. Miniextensions.com also doesn’t allow you to have multiple lines in one line graph so its not what i’m looking for. I have been trying to figure out if there is a library out there I can send my data to from airtable to render an html string of this chart, or maybe even an image. Python friendly tools would be best since I am most comfortable with that language. Anyone have any tips?

I’m curious if there is a way to have a “rule” to check for duplicates in a field(s)? I know there are apps for that, like Dedupe to use in dashboards, but I was hoping there was a rule or some where of showing’highlighting like in Excel.

Hi - I am brand new to Airtable so apologies in advance. I have set up A base with several tables, each with a date and time section for example time & date to do a viewing of a property and in another table time and date to prompt me to do follow up a phone call to a lead. I therefore have several default calendars, one from each of the several tables, which is frustrating. I cannot see one single calendar view option / location combining all of those calendars from each table into one single calendar for the entire base. Also the calendars are just date only, but not the time as well, which for appointments is kind of crucial. Are the issues I am experiencing because I am not on a paid plan while I am trying out the platform? Or is this just the way it is? I just want one joined up calendar that syncs with my Icalender and that syncs both ways. So anything I put into my single Airtable base is synched to my Icalnder and everything I out in my Icalander is also singed to my base c

Hi, I was wondering if it’s possible to choose which fields appear in the abbreviated list view when I click on the 3 dots next to a link to another record field?

Hi Everyone, I run an Artist Agency and I use an Airtable record to store all of my artists data. When they are booked for a gig I have to fill in a very specific booking form provided by the client as an Excel Sheet. Does anyone know if there is a tool that would allow me to populate such an Excel Sheet/or Google Sheet Form with the specific requested data from the Airtable record? I did look at Zapier but it doesn’t seem to provide that functionality as I would be mapping the data from the Airtable record to specific cells on the Google/Excel Sheet. Thanks for your help. Gary

Having an issue with Date formatting which seemed simple. Here is my issue. My primary key shows the correct EST time as the published date. I am trying to use pory.io for a gallery and used a field called Date Formatted with the following command. It works great but is off by 5 hours which I assume is GMT time. How do I format this primary key to take into consideration the GMT difference? DATETIME_FORMAT({Date Published}, ‘MM-DD-YYYY hh:mm’)

Has anyone been able to create an update automation to have data go from Airtable to Salesforce. We tried using Zapier, but it only lets us do it for “New Records,” not current ones

Here is the scenario. I have a formula field in Table A {Loan Amount}, that calculates the loan amount based on two other fields in Table A. Based on the resulting value in that {Loan Amount} formula field, I would like to to reference the cost of title insurance (the cost of title insurance is based on the {Loan Amount} in Table A). Is it possible to have a field in Table A that references this cost from Table B, based on the calculated {Loan Amount} field from Table A? If not, is there another way I could maybe handle this?

I’m having an issues with the filters. When I select several filters to look at specific data entries the filter will change on its own. Any ideas on why this is happening and how I can stop it?

I own a gym and we check-in customers through a base on Airtable. On my website, I’d like to have a live count showing how many people are currently checked. Any idea how I can create this live count and embed it? Here’s an example I made using the Summary app:

Hi, I’d like to know how whether there is anything clever going on with the single-select field (the Training field) on this official Airtable form that I was sent recently: Watch on-demand: Create your CRM in Airtable I have a form where I would like to pre-populate the field, but not allow end-users to change it. I’ve read a bit on this discussion group that it isn’t possible (you can’t hide or make the field read-only). I suspect this form is pointing to a custom view, but I’m looking to have personalised forms, where a field is specific for the user, and they can’t change it. Many thanks, DIgby

Hi, folks: Our volunteer organization took in the personal info of 600+ volunteers via a form. Now we need them to update their records via a second form so that they don’t have to fill out the first (very long) form all over again. This seems to be a logical solution … Update table records in form Views Hello All, I have some fields in my database that are mandatory at different stage. I want to do a form with the first fields for the first time, and then send another form prefill and update the record. I do not see how to update. Is there a way to do it ? thanks … but it requires the user of the second form to identify their existing record via lookup - say, by inputting an email address. Unfortunately, setting up the second form to do a lookup on email address (via an +ADD control on an “email” form field) exposes the email addresses from all the other records during lookup. Using First Name (instead of Email) as a lookup is slightly less risky; I

Is it possible to show records formatted in page designer into a Wordpress website? All I’ve found on the forum is from early last year that the feature is coming. If not, are there any good workarounds? Thanks!

I am attempting to set up an automation and have a script update a linked field in a table. When testing my script the output gives me this error. “Your script has a syntax error” (adding this for search engines cause I could not find this on google at all) The bit of code that makes this error happen is this (it has no syntax highlighted saying it’s an error) await customersTable.updateRecordAsync(depo, { 'Dams': dogs }) depo is from here let depo = depositors.getRecord(depositors.recordIds[index]) depo looks like this when logged: {id: "rec1231412312", name: "Some name"} dogs is an array of objects (“dog” records) like this. I’m not sure where to go from here cause this error leads me nowhere. I have tried just passing an array of IDs. I’ve tried passing an array of objects with just the IDs and not the name. Nothing has worked so far. Is anyone able to tell me what I’m doing wrong?

I have an address field that opens the location in google maps when clicked. It works fine when logged in as a creator or editor but doesn’t open Maps when logged in as a read only viewer. I don’t get an error it just does nothing. Any idea how to resolve? Thank you!

I’ve been using airtable a few hours but I get this message: "An error has occurred. Refresh this page." I’ve refreshed and tried again multiple times.

Hi! I’m trying to figure out a way to get data from ‘Table B’ to ‘Table A’ based on the value of a field in Table A. It looks as follows: I have an entry in Table A, for which I select ‘device’, ‘pagetype’ and ‘country’. For the combination of these three fields I want to create a unique identifier, so I’ve added a formula column: This would result in for example MobileHomepageGermany. In Table B I have set a ‘value’ for MobileHomepageGermany of 100. I want to lookup this value and add it to a column in Table A. So I add an entry, select device, page, and country, and then I want the value to show up in that Table in that row. I’ve been trying to figure this out for 1,5 hours, but its probably a simple solution right? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I am wanting for filter a grid view so that it only show items with the current date and future dates, and doesn’t show any past dates. Is this possible? Thanks :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi, I’m new - sorry, ha ha! I’m trying to put the date from my date field {Start time for Pre-Meeting} into an email automation but it outputs in the unfriendly format So I’m trying to re-format that date in a formula field using DATETIME_FORMAT but I keep getting error messages. TIA for any help with this one! Cara.

I am trying to create a system that allows me to pull up certain records, open them in gallery, call them, mark that they have been called, and then they disappear from that view. The use case is creating call lists for fundraising and recording those contacts so that I won’t call them again the next day for instance. I have only been able to find out how to do this in the form view of an interactions table but that doesn’t allow me to pre-select the contacts I want to call. This is mostly useful for sharing the list to others to make the calls.

I’m looking for an app that can be used as a Visual Line Plan view. Kanban cards are close, but I am looking for something that is more freeform and can be moved around and seen with a wider scope. Ideally I want the freeform layout of MIRO boards, but from what I can tell, there is no way to link the live data from Airtable to MIRO and vise-versa. Thanks!

Guys hello We are using Airtable to organise our daily tasks. We have a task we stuck at the moment so we need the help of a coder to create a script to run on Airtable Base. Here is what we like to do We are using Airtables CSV import app and importing CSV to the right column. There is no problem with that. Problem is (what we like to do) to insert another row (pre-defined) automatically, when we import new CSV. So 1st row will come from CSV, under that another predefined row, and repeat like that for each row. (Please see Screenshot1) We tried to do it with automation on Airtable but when we import CSV, created all rows from CSV But instead of adding predefined row under each row, adds all at the end. (Please see the second screenshot) So we are looking for a solution to solve that. I guess a custom script will solve the problem. Or some tricks on automation? Any idea?
