Hello, I have spent the last two days looking through the community post and can’t seem to find an answer to the solution I need. My best bet is that I either need a nested if statement or a possible Switch command. I am trying to create a formula that gives me the status on a row based on blank rows in a column. For example, I have a workflow that is an eight-step process. My goal was to create a column for each step. The steps are (Get approval, Get Quote, Make Purchase Request, Print Purchase Order, Receive Items, Tag Items, Install Items, Update Asset information) As each step is completed I will fill information in that column. I would like the formula to let me know which step we are on next. If there is no data on the row the formula will state that we are “Waiting on the approval.” If I type something in the first column, the formula will know that column is no longer blank and provide the next step. (Waiting on Quote, Enter PR, Upload PO, Waiting on delivery, Tag items, Insta

I am using Zapier to send an email using a webhook. The email has an attachment (picture or PDF, can be either at time or both). when the email sends, it only grabs the URL for the attachment. i want the actual FILE. i know that if i use the UI inside of ZAP > OULOOK, i can call the FILE out and it inserts it properly… but i want this occur while using the webhook… anyone know the TAG i can use in the webhook pre-fill link to pull the FILE and not just the URL?

This is my first post to the community, so please be patient if I haven’t gotten this formatted right on the first go. Also please be patient if I don’t provide enough info right off. I can update as necessary :slightly_smiling_face: Also please not that due to project limitations I am unable to use Node.JS, so I am prepping all my queries “manually” and sending them out via XMLHttpRequest(); once I have them built. I am also not using any other frameworks or services like Adalo or anything. I am working on a small web app using Airtable, and I’ve come across a couple oddities when getting records. I’ve tried searching for info on this but haven’t had much luck. 1: When i send a request like this: https://api.airtable.com/v0/[BASE ID]/Studies?maxRecords=5 I get back five records, but my expectation would be to get either the first five records or the last five records of the table. Instead I get what seem like five arbitrary records. The table I’m testing with has records with a Uniq

Hi All! Been thinking about this for a while, but cannot wrap my head around it! Looking for a bit of help. I have multiple tables with lots of lookups all connected together, but am struggling to get a same table lookup to work. Thinking maybe scripts or automations? My table is as below: I am trying to accomplish the following: When the current row is updated to ‘Existing Supply Rating’ it (ie the automagical widget or script) searches for similar rows and returns the file associated with the most recent similar matching row. It then copies the URL of the file into this record. Kind of a fuzzy search which then returns and inserts a file for my current row. if ({Existing Supply Rating}=True) return Attachment into this ‘cell’ where {Site Type} = this {site type} and {in/Out} = this {In/Out} and {Proposed Config} = this {Proposed Config} and {Existing Supply Location} = this {Existing Supply Location} and {Existing Mains Supply} = this {Existing Mains Supply} and {Existing Supply Rat

Hello! I’m looking for some advice as to how to recreate some of the timesheet functionality that I currently get from Harvest within Airtable, considering my Airtable base has a lot of the data about our projects that I end up entering manually into Harvest. Right now, our Harvest usage looks like this: The records are “tagged” with the project, and the task that the time was spent on for that project. I have the projects and tasks already in tables in my base, and the only way that I can see to set this up is like this. Is this the only way to recreate the Harvest functionality in Airtable? What do you recommend I do differently?

Hi everyone, I would like to ask you for help: I have the MAIN database and then couple others (A,B,C…) in tables next to it. To fill in new records within a particular a field of MAIN, I was choosing informaton from the database A. These were linked, such that I started typing a new record in MAIN and it automatically showed me options from database A and I chose a desired option. Then I copied the whole database and this link has been lost and I do not know how to restore it. I would really appreciate your suggestions! Thank you very much. Margareta

Hi , I’d like to apologize in advance if this question has been answered, but I’m not clear enough on the terminology, and am Lacking in available time, so any help is lovely. we have a sheet where a linked record type is used to pick multiple items from another record, figured out how to do that fine, and I can look at the details for each linked item, but in the view embedded in my website, or the shared link, it just shows them as a list, with no ability to select the items and look at their details.

Hi everyone. We had a member of our team leave recently and I have taken over overseeing some of our Airtable bases. We have a number of different slack notifications set up in our Workspace but they were all set up on this other person’s account that is no longer with the company. Is there any way for me to reconfigure them, transfer ownership to myself, or just remove them so I can recreate them? Some of the settings are no longer valid, need to go to a different slack channel, etc.

Is it possible to find out date of when a linked record was done ?

How do I make the iFrame shared code full height so that it shows the whole form in an Elementor HTML widget?

I’d like to share my base with others in the same what the official Airtable “Universe” website - with a left sidebar like this one: link - is this possible?

Hi all, my first post here :slightly_smiling_face: after a couple of weeks of using this AMAZING product. I am working on a small private project, where I want to track my expenses and income via forms on my mobile. The final product should be something like a monthly pivot chart which would show my expenses and my income streams over months. How I used to do this in Excel? I entered as many unique records as there were income/month/year combinations and do a simple pivot chart. Example of a pivot table I’d like to achieve: --------------+-----+-------+-------+------+ | jun | jul | aug | sep | (oct...) --------------+-----+-------+-------+------+ revenue | | | | | -salary | 2000| 2000| 2000| 2000| -rent | 100| 100| 100| 100| costs | | | | | -utilities | -200| -200| -200| -200| -car payments| -70| -70| -70| -70| -vacation | | -500| -500| |

Hi, I’m using the “Filter” function and it works great, it’s got my view down to about 200 records. But I now need to remove approx another 40 records by “Name”, what is the easiest way to remove them? The only way that I can find is to filter by “Name” “Does not contain” … for each record (see attached image example). I is there an easier way to remove certain people from my list? Btw, I don’t want to permanently delete these records, just remove them from my filtered view. Thanks in advance :~)

How or why would I be getting access to a database requests from strangers and is this an issue to be concerned with. I’m disregarding the request of course.

Hi everyone, I’m new to AirTable. I’m not sure yet if it’s going to solve my problems. I currently use MailChimp to store information about my subscribers. My subscribers may or may not be members. They may also be interested in different services / products that I offer. I have them in seven different groups in order to segment them. I collect a lot of information from subscribers to help plan social events for them. Their age, location, gender, relationship status etc is all relevant plus other things. At present I collect 30+ fields of info to help me bring like-minded people together. I email people. I call people. I sent SMSs to people. I would like to be able to track and write comments / notes on these interactions so I can see the journey my customers are taking. I also run regular events. I collect data from each event. Tickets sold, how many people arrived early, on time, late etc… how many cancelled last minute too! I’d like to be able to set up a database with all my client

Requesting the addition to Gantt chart for mult-level grouping as we have in the tables or a “View” choice for grouping. We have a “View” choice for record color, which uses the table color conditions. This request would apply the table “Grouped by” settings to the Gantt chart. Thanks!

Hey pals, I’m trying to print a document designed in the designer app. My desired dimensions are 8.125 in. x 10.250 in. — So, when (factoring for 300dpi) I put the pixel dimensions into the designer app’s document dimension settings (2438 x 3076 px) Then export, I end up getting a document size MUCH larger. (24.61 x 30.76 in) Also, with every exported record / page I get an exported extra blank page. I’d like to not have this happening too. Thanks for your help!

Each time I try to send emails via the SendGrid app it keeps failing. It has worked successfully previously, but now it doesn’t. I don’t think I’ve changed anything, and I’m only trying to send to 40 email addresses. My email is fairly short, only 330 characters (only 50 words). I’ve tried using a new API key but that doesn’t work either. Does anyone have any ideas on why this could be? Thanks in advance.

I am trying to figure out a formula to display the linked information inputted from either column: Private Label or SKU. I was able to make the idea partially work with: IF({Private Label},BLANK(),SKU). However this doesn’t allow for if SKU is blank to use Private Label. Thank you for any help!!

Hello. I would like to embed a base with some preset filter applied which users are free to modify/remove if they wish. I know I can create a view where I apoply the filters but then users won’t be able to unapply them. I see the support article on URL filters. This seems to work when I embed an individual table. However, I would like to embed the entire base (so that users can click on linked records). Can URL filters be applied when sharing the entire base? It does not seem to work for me when I apply the same filter query in the URL as I do for individual table URLs. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for the help!

We have suddenly all lost the ability to scroll down through older notifications by using the ‘show more’ link. Are any other teams having this issue and does anyone have a solution?

My company is using Airtable as the primary back end for our e-commerce site. We love the UI for viewing and updating records, and we love using Airtable automations to manage processes like tracking product inventory and sending transactional emails. Now I want to incorporate our Airtable data into our Webflow site. More specifically, I want to fetch product data from Airtable on the client. However, I see two issues: I don’t want to expose our API key. Our requests to the Airtable API will likely to exceed the rate limit of five requests per second per base. Has anyone else hit similar issue while trying to incorporate Airtable data into an existing website? If so, did you find a way to safely and reliably access Airtable data from the browser, or did you have to migrate from Airtable to a tool more geared towards building APIs? The Airtable API docs recommend using a caching proxy for high read volumes, but some of our data (such as product inventory) update frequently, and I don’

so i know toy can set up a “summary”: "bla bla bla… but has anyone tried to format the incoming automation from airtable into teams i want the message to look good and have breaks \n but i cant seem to pin it down.

I’m new to this and trying understand whether I can “get there from here”. The concept: ~ People fill out a form with the results going into a base ~ A majority of the data elements for these records are then made accessible to a public website ~ Anyone can then go to that website and do a search based on a variety of elements that were made available; they can filter, search, sort, etc to find the records that are helpful to them. Is this do-able? I was not exhaustive in my search of case studies, but have not yet found one that shows that you can do this. Thank you!

Hi, Building a client website and wondering if anyone has used Air Table to collect all the website content. If so, did you start with a template? Any help on how to best set this up would be much appreciated. Thanks!
