Is it possible to be notified in Google Chat, Slack or Teams when "@user" is used in comment/notes

Hello,Quite simple question : today when you mention a user with “@person” in a comment or a note, he/she gets notified by email. Is there a way to route these notifications in Google Chat, Slack or MS Teams ? I’d like to avoid kludge solution like creating a Zap or Make that watches over the mailbox and transform an email received into a chat message, this should flow directly from airtable to one of those 3 solutions, like a setting in the user specific parameters.

Comparaison de deux champs multivaleur

Bonjour, j’ai besoin d’un coup de pouce…J’ai deux champs C et P liés à une table N.J’ai besoin de vérifier si  les valeurs du champs P sont bien inclues dans le champs C. Dans ces champs les valeurs peuvent être entrées dans des ordres différents. Le résultat serait par exemple le remplissage d’un champ “TEST” renseigné automatiquement “OK” si vrai et “NON OK” si faux.Je n’y arrive pas que ce soit avec une formule ou un script. En essayant aussi les lookup et rool up. Bref je me noie… Auriez-vous une méthode claire à me donner ? Merci de votre aide.Si possible je cherche une solution sans automatisation.Chris

Can a user keep tabs on a task/record wothout being assigned to it?

Needing the ability for a manager to oversee tasks while various team members do their parts as it moves through a recurring monthly process.If the manager is assigned all tasks they’re responsible for managing, it looks like they have about 240 things to do when that’s not really accurate, making it challenging for the manager to parse out their real to-do’s vs the tasks they’re responsible for but are currently being working on by someone else. If the manager is not assigned to the tasks, it’s difficult for them to monitor the progress of all tasks. Example: A manager is responsible for 60 client tasks being completed in a month, moving through a kanban board for various stages and assignees doing their part. 4 other team members have action items for all the tasks at various points. How can the manager see progress of their tasks while the action item is with someone else? Basically, the manager needs an accurate view of their actual action items/to-do list and a separate view to se

Filter attachment field - workaround for filenames 'does not contain'...?

Is there a non-scripting way to filter out specific filenames from an attachment field? Interface look up field displaying jackets of manuscripts. Want to show all images bar those with the filename “Placeholder.png” Had hoped for an “Only include linked records where ‘Jacket’ ‘filenames does not contain’ but missing that one.Or a formula where I can use FILTER into a second field but still display an image?Didn’t want to use scripting as want to keep as a look up  but maybe I’m missing something? Any ideas appreciated!

Boolean Checkbox showing two styles for True

My table has two checkbox columns that are set to show different symbols for True. “Actively Working” column is set to show a yellow star. “Hide” is set to show a red “x”.Both of these columns are showing a mix and match of both values (see photo). It is happening in the app on both ipad and phone. Individual records opened up show the correct value in the correct column. Anyone else having this issue? How do I resolve it?

Problème pour accéder à l'historique des révisions dans Airtable

Bonjour à tous,Je rencontre un problème avec Airtable : je n'arrive pas à trouver l'option pour accéder à l'historique des révisions d'un enregistrement. J'ai essayé de suivre les instructions habituelles en ouvrant l'enregistrement en vue élargie et en cherchant un lien ou un bouton pour voir l'historique, mais sans succès.Est-ce que quelqu'un pourrait m'indiquer où exactement cette option se trouve ?

Hiding and unhiding fields in a view based on conditions

I have a list of clients that I do work for. I do the same 50 tasks for each client. Each field in my table is another task. The tasks are dropdowns with the status of the task like assigned, in progress, completed, and questions for supervisor.My supurvisor wants to create a view that shows only the questions for her. I did this by filtering the view to only show records (clients) that has the choice ‘questions for supervisor’ in field a, b, c d, etc. all the way through. This works well.However, I need to unhide all the fields because maybe that field is the one with a question. So, when a question pops up in her view, she has to scroll all the way to the right until she finds the field that has a question. This wastes a lot of time especially because there are a lot of clients and by each client there can be more then one question.I am looking for a way to only unhide a field that has ‘questions for supervisor’ for at least one record. I don’t mind if then that field will be there f

Are commenters really free on Business plan? Trying to confirm before switching

Hi everyone,I’m currently on the Team plan, and I was under the impression that commenter users were free. But after adding someone as a commenter, I noticed in the workspace settings that they were listed under billable users. That confused me, so I started searching the community — and I found posts confirming that commenters are billed on the Team plan.I'm now exploring other options, and I came across this in the Airtable support documentation for the Business plan:“The following collaborator permissions on the self-serve Business plans are billable:Editor, Creator, Owner.”What I’m trying to confirm is:👉 Is this 100% accurate – that on the Business plan, I would only be billed for Editors, Creators, and Owners, and that Commenters and Viewers are free?In my case, I’m the only Editor/Owner, and I just need to invite a few commenters, who would only access the base through Interfaces (they don’t need full base access).So the difference in pricing would be significant, and I want to

Airtable + emails. What are your issues, solutions and bottlenecks?

Hello everyone 👋I've been working with airtable for years as a consultant and user, but have never been active in the community - that's about to change. I'm super interested in anything to do with airtable and emails as I keep seeing a few challenges: The challenge of receiving and tracking email responses. Replies to emails sent via Airtable end up in the void instead of the shared inbox Record limits quickly become a problem when saving emails as records Threading issue when parsing emails and creating records in AirtableAs I'm thinking of clever ways to solve these problems, I'm eager to hear feedback from the community.  If you've worked on something like this before, use airtable + emails frequently, or have any of the above issues, please let me know!

TV/Film Call Sheet Page Design

Hello, I’ve created a database that essentially allows me to create a call sheet (sample here) using the page design app. I currently have two tables: Call sheet table - lists the date as the main column. For each date, I have information such as the location, linked crew member, status etc. Crew table - this table lists each person’s name in the main column. There’s a linked record to the dates they’re working in the call sheet table, their email, cell, and role. I’d also like to add a column for the call time, but that will vary based on the date. On Tuesday their call time might be 9:00am but on Wednesday it’s 8:30am. Since each crew member in linked to several call sheet dates, one person may be linked to 2-4 different days of work on set. The time that people need to report to set each day varies. I’m trying to figure out a way, in the crew tab, to assign a call time for each person for each shoot day that they are assigned. Would you be able to assist? I then take all this

Search Records from make.com returns *sometimes* the original URL instead of the airtable URL of an image

Hi all,I have a very strange behaviour with Airtable attachments together with make.comIn a loop in make,com, I create 4 images using FLUX.  I upload the generated images using "Create a record" module together with some other data (attachment column type) The images are correctly uploaded to the Airtable. Later in the same scenario I use the “Search records” module in order to retrieve the 4 rows with the images The rows and data are retrieved correctly but in *some* cases (this can’t be reproduced) the returned data for one of the images  contains only the ID and the original URL (that I used to upload the image) instead of the Airtable data with the airtable URL and the thumbnails, etc..See the screenshots:The first one shows the Create Record and the circled field contains the URL for the upload The second shows the wrong result for one image (yellow) and the correct result for another (green) The thirds shows the output bundles which make it obvious that there’s a difference.Any i

Now I cannot change my username in the community here??

I used to have a “cool” username, now it changed and there’s no way to change it even though I was/am a rank of “5-Automation Innovator”. IT says you have to be above rank 3- Contributor level 3. Then I should be able to navigate to : Settings>Personal>username to change it but it does not exist in settings?

Multiple Names from lookup list versus only once

Hello, I have a base that has a Campaigns and Deliverables table. There is one Campaign which could have many deliverables. Each deliverable could have one owner. We want the Campaigns table to have a lookup that shows all of the owners for the deliverables. Unfortunately, if someone has multiple deliverables they own it reports their campaign twice in the lookup column. Is there a way to dedupe or only show the owners name once versus the same name multiple times? Thanks, Victor

Linking multiple fields in a single column

Hi all, New to AirTable and have been trying to create a grid where one of the columns needs to be linked to a different record on a row-to-row basis. I have been able to link one record in the column but have found it difficult to add a 2nd record for the next row. Is it even possible to do this in AirTable?For example:Row 1 - Column A Links to one record  Row 2     Column A links to a second record Hope this information is clear, happy to try and clarify if it would be helpful. Thanks in advance!
