Hi ThereWe are a UK company using Airtable to manage / power all areas of our business.We absolutely love the product but are becoming a little nervous with downtime incidents.This is because our companies workforce is simply paralysed without it.We would like to implement a basic form of 3rd party backup / restore service.We’ve just setup an account with On2Air to evaluate their offering.Appreciate there’s a bunch of previous posts on this topic but would appreciate links to any recent services or with what you may be using successfully. Thank you for your help in advance. 🙏 

Airtable is down again. 7:20am Australia time now and it’s been down for over 90 mins, with no status update posted in 70 minutes since the last one saying ‘we’re working on it’. Our business is just at a standstill - I can’t even log in to find any of out client’s data to call them…. I doubt I’m alone. Not having any kind of update for over an hour is unacceptable when businesses need to rely on this service. I get that things go down, i get there are outages - but the communication surrounding such issues from Airtable is abysmal. This kind of outage during business hours costs us thousands of dollars an hour and I can’t help but feel the support/communication during these times needs massive improvement. 

I deleted and redownloaded the app, didn’t help. 

I cant load any of my Airtable Page.Can anyone help on this please?

The functionality to load all records is phenomenally slow - like on the order of 5 minutes in a dataset with 15,000 records. Before the 1000-records-only initial view, the full set of records would load within 30 seconds. 

Hi group,  Wanted to ask you about how you manage user management. I get a lot of questions from our organisation about “who can add me to Airtable”, and so far it’s just me managing our groups (I’ve made groups based on permission rights and what interfaces they should see).I’ve seen there is an option to assign members of these groups to be the group admins. I’m wondering if it’s worth making one user per team an admin, so they can manage access rights for their area without always going through me.How do you manage this? any good tips?

I’ve been building an app through the free trial and have hit a snag. I’m aware Airtable won’t let you create new Linked Records in a form. Fillout doesn’t have the capacity for a price my boss is willing to pay. I’ve been using Gemini quite a bit which has been helpful, and they suggested something that would work but I wanted your opinion (Confidently incorrect AI’s and all that). My tables in question are “Customers” which can have many “Locations” and “Contacts”. Locations can have many “Jobs”. If I create a job and the customer doesn’t exist, I have to leave to make the customer, only to remember that I don’t have the contact or location, so I have to leave and do those, repeat ad-nauseum. Gemini’s suggestion is to create a master intake table. For the customer, I could select from a dropdown (as usual), but if it’s a new customer, I would fill in new fields for the customer information. Repeat with Location, Contacts, and the Job details. Then use a

I have a text field which I’m manually populating with UUIDv7s. This string is time-ordered by the first sequence of characters.When sorting A-Z on this column, I’d expect that to happen. It isn’t. These two entries sort in this order. 019c607b-60d7-72dd-b925-f76680dae347 019c6051-5b66-7586-85b8-c54c63dbf350What am I missing?

Hi, everyone! For the last 24 hours, I haven’t been able to download CSV files from any of my bases. I’ve tried in the app (on Mac and Windows), and in multiple browsers. Although I see the “preparing CSV file for download” popup, no file is downloaded. Anyone else experiencing this issue, or have a workaround? (UPDATE: it appears it is specific to my workplace, as I can download files from my home network. Anyone have such an issue with their IT setup blocking Airtable downloads?)Thanks in advance, Carole

While testing automation with Airtable, the webpage froze. I closed the page and tried to re-access Airtable, but the homepage wouldn't load. I could access other pages besides the main page, but when I logged in, I saw the screen below. I tried using a different account, but the same thing happened.  

I found something that talked about 216px, but it keeps doing this. 

I get that you can upload a document to Superagent, but will it analyze all of the documents that are attached/uploaded to an Airtable database (i.e., so you don't have to upload them manually)?

Does right now form cannot upload attachments for read only/free users?errror says “You are not permitted to perform this operation”  

Hi Airtable Community! 👋I’ve been working on a small project where I use Airtable to track and analyze my daily Letter Boxed (NYT word puzzle) performance, and I’d love some advice on improving the structure and automations.🎯 What I’m Trying to DoI want to build a base that: Stores daily Letter Boxed puzzles (letters on each side) Logs the words I used to solve them Tracks number of words per solution (2-word solves, 3-word solves, etc.) Calculates average solve efficiency over time Identifies commonly reused word patterns 🗂 Current SetupI currently have:Table 1: Daily Puzzles Date Letters (long text field) Word Count (formula) Difficulty Rating (manual select) Table 2: Words Used Lin

Looks like I’m one of the first to do get into it on Superagent. lol I am creating an in depth product training for a beauty brand w/Superagent. I can’t seem to get it to use actual images of the products though, it keeps creating (rather terrible) ones. Is there a way to do this? Or edit by hand?

Hello, good afternoon.I’m reaching out urgently with this question because I still haven’t received a response from support. In one of our dashboards, we have uploaded files that we share with clients, but for the past 2 days all the file links have been returning an error when downloading.The message we get is directly:“Check if there is a typo in s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com.If it is spelled correctly, try running the Windows Network Diagnostics.DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN”Has this happened to anyone else?

I’ve been trying to achieve a simple thing. I want to have Table 1 as database where i can store people information like Name, Personal ID, etc. And I want to import selected information from Table 1 to Table 2. It should autofill and whenever i add a new person into Table 1(the database) it should reflect in Table 2 as well. HOW do i achieve that. So far i’ve tried linked records but then i have to manually press on every single person to import their information. Please help an ignorant soul.Example:Table 1 has people personal IDs i want to fill in Table 2 based on these IDs automatically

As recently as a few days ago, Airtable’s What’s New page let us know the new features that Airtable was adding but now the page shows a 404? You can still find the base here, updated as recently as this month (February ‘26) here, but hopefully that base keeps getting updates?

I have been trying several Airtable alternatives to try to build my app stack options to select from and commit to build my first initial version of a functional app.During the Airtable’s free Teams trial period, I came to realization that there are additional, especially 3rd party forms & automation, applications are required to build a functional & manageable application based on Airtable.I’m just a start up. No special category like .edu, non-profit, etc.I cannot provide any verifications because I have not focused on social profiles & not willing to t provide any official documentation at this moment.AI answers were that there are no discount codes to apply at a checkout and were not able find any discount links, including from utube creators.As with any startup, any discount helps. Thank you in advance.

my company and i are interested in upgrading to enterprise and tried to get in contact with their online form to set up a meeting, but still haven’t gotten a reply back. is there another way to contact them? do they have a phone number i can call?
