Other Questions

I am an independent developer exploring Airtable Apps ecosystem recently. I’ve been using Airtable for some of my clients, so I’m quite familiar with it and its automation via Zapier/Integromat/Scripting, etc. Question for you - What are some Airtable Apps you wish existed and would pay some fee for? Thanks! Sam

Am working on putting together a base for better tracking of inventory bought/sold on Amazon and other channels. Would like to be able to use a barcode field which when an item is scanned, it goes out and searches Amazon and comes back with the item’s title in another field and in another field it enters the item’s current ranking. Also, anyone familiar with using Airtable integrated with Woocommerce? Looking to have several niche websites for products sold in-house or dropshipped, and best ways to keep track of it all besides spreadsheets.

Anyone considered creating a custom app that is like the SendGrid app but uses a different mailer (eg mailgun)?

Hi all, looking for some ideas on how to link courses, with faculty member availability, producer availability, and room availability. For context: courses have various durations (90 mins, 3 hours, full day, multi day) schedule should not allow double booking of a faculty member nor a room Wondering if anyone has a template built for this type of thing.

Hi everyone, Goal: I want to match Companies to matching Talents based on different criteria (multiple). What I did so far Set up a base with two tables. Table 1: Companies, containing Fields “Name”; “NecEducation” (necessary level of education); “Rel.postal.codes” (all postal codes within a 40 mile radius as proximity of talents to company is key in my example) Table 2: Talents, containing Fields “Name”; “Education” (same choices as in field “NecEducation”) and “PostalCode” (just one value, referring to the postal code the talent lives in). Now I would like for there to be a field next to each company, displaying links to each Talent that matches the necessary education and who´s postal code is within the “Rel.postal.codes” of the company. Using @Greg_F ´s method here

I created a form in Airtable to collect shirt sizes from our team for an upcoming order. I can’t find an option for putting the static image of the jacket within the form so people can see it when they are deciding the size they would like to order. Is it possible to have a form with a static image embedded into one of the questions? Thanks!

Hello! I am designing a booking system for a team of teachers. You can use the form to book a meeting (video call) with one of the teachers. My problem is that for a single teacher, I can do it, but for a group of teachers I can’t. If anyone can help me, I would be very grateful!

We use Airtable to manage our project opportunities and related workstreams. I’d like to introduce a bulletin board where all team members can see the latest news. Ideally a notepad of sorts, visible to everyone. Is there an app or similar I can in to achieve this?

Hi Guys I have this base which is very close to what I need to do: Ingredient Tracking Base I just have one last step and I have no clue. I need to get the number of batches made of a SKU, times this number by the amount of ingredient in the SKU, then take this number away from the amount in stock for that ingredient. I am desperate for some help.

Before getting into my lengthy question, please let me know if anyone is or knows of an expert airtable consultant that has programming experience, and is well versed in OCRing text based document and performing basic NLP & text mining queries on the documents… I’m Looking for some advice on pre-processing multiple images of unstructured text that will be OCRd (whether via Textract or Vision (or other, better option one may recommend))… In my use case there can be multiple thousands of images that are each a part of a separate document (which can be one or multiple pages). For example, one muse case may have 100 documents (each containing 10 pages each), with the entire set containing 1,000 individual pages. Typically the images of text are photographed and then provided to the user in jpeg, tiff, or pdf format. The sender typically receives the images ‘raw’ and the imager usually does not take the time to label files or combine them into singular pdfs containin

Do you think Airtable can be used for advanced planning & scheduling for a manufacturing company? More specifically, there are several machines and work stations with manual labour wheareas some workflow steps are necessary and some are not depending on the sales order. I want to calculate the optimal order when the material has to be placed at a certain machine or work station to manufacture the product. It is a relatively low volume, but high variety production. We use Microsoft SQL Server/Navision which is the basis for our production data. There are scanners at each work station to track where the object to be produced is. Based on this, could Airtable be used to calculate the optimal order as described above and display when which object should be placed at a certain machine or work station? The calculation should consider the delivery deadline, capacity usage, production time and other factors.

Hi ! With Zapier or Airtable Automations, I can trigger a certain mail to be sent when a record is added in a view or met a condition. However with Sendgrid Block, that seems impossible, I’ve been testing different things for hours ! Any idea? Many thanks

I want to calculate a deadline that is 30 days prior an App Release date for daily content. But I also want a deadline that is 60 days after the App Release for project types that are not daily. The 1st step of my goal works correctly with this formula… DATEADD({App Release (from Master List)}, -30, ‘days’) Here is an IF statement attempt to include the 60 day delay for all other content that does not work. What am I doing wrong? IF ({Project Type (from Master List)} = “DAILY Meditation”), DATEADD({App Release (from Master List)}, -30, ‘days’), DATEADD({App Release (from Master List)}, +60, ‘days’)

Hi, i have an issue with a zap on zapier here is the message : "The app returned “You are not permitted to perform this operation because the field or table has been configured to limit who can perform this operation”. this is a message from Airtable.

I am trying to build an external web app through either Pory or Softr, but my API key seems to have stopped working (I keep getting an invalid key error). Does any one know how to fix this? I’d hate to delete my current API key (I currently have some forms live on my site through Mini Extensions and it would break that connection (although it would be relatively easy to re-do…just not sure deleting/re-generating would really solve this problem - there’s no reason it should have stopped working in the first place). Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi All, Simple one but I’m a but stuck… so it’s ask questions time. As per above I’m trying to convert the simple 24 hr formatted column into JUST a h:mmA format. My formula is: DATETIME_PARSE({Confirmed Time - 24 Hr}, “h:mmA”) How do I stop it showing the date portion (11/19/2020) in my result? EDIT: Here are my full fields. Ultimately I’d love to create a single output that combines ‘Confirmed Meeting …’ with ‘Confirmed Time - h:mmA’ (eg November 19, 2020 at 2:00pm) that can be used in as a simple trigger in a Send Email automation on Airtable… I’m just getting my head and logic brain around Airtable though.

So I have a directory of creatives who have multiple creative passions. I used multiple select in order to help organize their creative interests like this: But when I go to view in groups, the groups that show up don’t filter by the individual option but by the groups of options that each cell has. Don’t know if that makes sense so I hope this picture helps Is there a way to group by individual options? Or another view I can use? This airtable is being embedded in Wordpress so my members could just search, but if there is an option would love to know. Thank you!

I’m looking to use the gallery view that I have for recipes for a foodblog on a page in my blog. But to format to hyperlink to the PageDesigner App perhaps so users could print the recipe or scroll through them. How can I best do this?

Hi, I am trying to patch a record using the primary field. How would I go about doing this? Use case: I create a record and assign the primary field as the object’s unique ID. A few minutes later I receive more information about this object and I want to add the information to the record. I do not have the airtable id that I received when I created the record, but I do have my unique ID for this object. How can I update this record using my unique ID for the object, without airtables underlying id?

Hi everyone! I’m new to Airtable and need some help with the Forms view. Providing some context below: Table 1: Contains IDs and names of specific users. Table 2: Contains data that is inserted via the Form View, with one of the questions being a Linked Field to Table 1’s ID. My questions are: Why does the form in edit/preview mode show all the other data in Table 1, but when you share the form it only shows the ID? Edit mode: Share mode: Is there a way for me to display the lookup field of the name of the user from Table 1 when their ID is selected? Since selecting IDs will start to get confusing after a while. Thanks in advance!

I am using AirTable to manage a vehicle database. The entire base is embedded within our company intranet page and is visible to Salespersons. We want Salespersons to be able to email a record (from a specific view) to a customer quickly and easily. On the full version of AirTable, I can right-click on a record and choose “Send Record” to email a nice summary of the record and photo attachments. When I embed the base, the ability to right-click is no longer available. Is there either a way to get this functionality back in an embedded base, or a way to simulate it? Thanks so much!
