I have a lot of PDF file attachments in my records, and I would like to directly access and use the thumbnail images that Airtable generates for each PDF. I can manually extract the thumbnail URL by right-click on an image preview image in my attachment field. Is there an Airatble formula function that can expose these URLs so they can then be accessed by Zapier/Integromat or similar tools? - eg something analogous to what RECORD_ID() does to expose the record ID?

Hi, just wondering if we can create custom html base from airtable.

Hello, I have a situation where users use a for to create data, then at a later date I want that data presented back to them (in Slack) I have a image / file column in Airtable and I cannot get that to populate in a bot slack message. What would be fantastic is if I could get a pdf of the form of the 1 record and then resend in slack. I can already bring up some of the text strings and send via slack, but cannot find out how to attach images.

So, I have a base I created that I have shared with others to use without my records. Essentially, they are using the formatting I created. I have made some updates to that formatting, and want to share the updated base. Is there a way they could update the formatting of their base with my changes, while keeping any records they have entered since the last share? There are many tables, and automations tied to each table, so as far as I can tell, syncing is not the answer

Page Designer truncates records that are too long to fit in the visible space of a text field, which causes difficulty when records are long or vary in length. Reducing the text size or widening the text field increases line length, making the content difficult to read. Having the ability to display the text in columns or overflow from one text field to another would really help. Is there an existing solution for this?

Hi there I currently use airtable as my delivery fulfillment hub for virtual video game items where i have multiple staff take and fulfill orders via Kaban View. The process is the record comes into a view and the first person who changes that operator name to theirs gets to take that order. The problem comes where there is latency and multiple people click and take that order within the same second, it will override the true initial person to change the field, also its possible for them to change it after the fact (the airtable history does not work well if it all happens within the same second or one staff has higher latency then the other i think) I want to know if this is possible to build then I will look for an app developer to help. The problem comes with latency, the app would need to have some parameters built into it where it will know what the field was changed to FIRST then override and prevent it from being changed again within the next few seconds Would love to hear your

When I send the record to my colleague’s email, emails with different subjects are merged into one of the recipient’s inbox. How would I resolve this?

How can I export a view in a tab-delimited format? CSV messes with columns that have commas within them, like product titles and product descriptions. I tried searching the forums here and asking about how to make CSV work, but then it occurred to me that a tab-delimited format might be the solution. The online marketplace I work with does accept those. Copy/pasting won’t work because (a) we have to update everyday and (b) some marketplaces [like Amazon] have over 150 fields to fill [setting up formulas to fill many of them].

I have set up a simple applicant tracker template with a form. The form is working, but I cannot find how to view or edit the form. I made a short 2 part video overview. Question Part I: Question Part II:

Currently trying to integrate Airtable with Wordpress and the css selectors within the iframe don’t seem to be adjustable. I’ve tried: .sharedForm{background:#0d0d0d!important;} .formFieldAndSubmitContainer {background-color:#0d0d0d!important} .airtable-embed header {background-color:#0d0d0d!important} #modalContainer {background-color:#0d0d0d!important} .sharedForm .status { background-color:#141517!important;} .formContent {background-color:#0d0d0d!important;} None of these do anything. Anyway, I see that a few contact forms are integratable via a plugin called Zapier. However it seems these all cost quite a bit of money (200 a year for the wp Forms plan that includes Zapier). Are there any other solutions for this? Can anyone suggest a more affordable or perhaps free plugin? Or at least some way to work around the iframe content editing being blocked on wordpress. Thanks a lot!

Hi there! So, I am in a weird position where one of my collaborators is randomly deleting text records whenever she opens certain records in a base. She said she’s not clicking anything (but in the activity bar, it keeps saying she’s removing all the information). It doesn’t make any sense at all because to delete something… it’s an active thought. Has anyone experienced this?

I am new to Airtable and creating a database that is viewable to the public. Is there anyway to track how many people are using/viewing the database? Thanks.

This morning, I found in my table that two of my field types had change. One was the primary key that had been a complicated formula and now is a simple text field. Another had been a link to another field and is now a date field. How do I find out why this happened? How do I undo it? How do I find out who did it or at least who was logged in at time that it happened?

this always happens on google chrome, and microsoft edge.

I thought for sure I saw Airtable just added the new feature that we could finally link between bases - but now I can’t find it anywhere. Here’s my specific query: I have lots of film and TV projects in development set up in their own individual bases (so I can share project-specific info ONLY with the partners on each project) BUT the lay of the land research as to who the players are is “universal” - and constantly changing! LOL! I have master proprietary bases that I maintain for myself (full of my own internal research and private notes on 1) financing/distribution prospects; 2) Actors (prospective cast) - etc. that I parse-share with my partners, clients, students and readers of my books on an as-needed/as-relevant-basis - that I don’t want to share 100% with ANYBODY! BUT… I want to be able to link my master proprietary financier/distributor prospect base (say for easy example purposes: Netflix, HBO and AMC as commissioning leads for several different projects (i.e.: client projec

I would like to collaborate with an external user. The use case is getting candidate feedback from the external user on the same candidate tracker. Right now, the external user has access to an embedded view that works well, but they are unable to comment in the fields.

Is there a way to show all the fields with the field descriptions? I love the idea of the base schema app but in its current form it’s too difficult to understand. I want a way to “introduce” new users to the base and show them how it’s set up–but since we’re constantly iterating on our table designs, creating some kind of static document that keeps up with all the fields and what we’re using them for is nearly impossible. I’d really like a way to pull all the table names and descriptions, and fields and descriptions, and export/display them somehow. Is there a way to do this?

I have a table with a Main view (which has no filters) and a secondary view (which has some filters) I want to examine the history of a particular record to see when it first showed up in the secondary view. Is this possible?
