Hello, I am new to Airtable but want to use it to inform my content strategy. This requires me to be able to replicate and update my WordPress website in Airtable. I would like to: List item Create a record all of the current posts, their categories and status (draft, published etc.). I gather I can just export them as XML or CSV and import them into Airtable List item Update the Airtable table when the status of posts are change. E.g. if a post that has a draft status in WordPress is published, the status on the Airtable record should update to “Published”. Similarly, if the category is changed on Wordpress post, this should update and reflect on the Airtable record. I understand that there are Zapier integrations that should be able to do this. I have tried a few but can’t get them to do what I want. I also understand that many people write content in Airtable, which then gets pus

Hello all! Is it possible to get that kind of view with a pivot table view? I wouldlike to have 2 level of information “Drink” then “coca”. When I try to do it I can only have “drink” or “coca”. Thanks for your help!!

Hi all - I’m trying to use the new “automations” feature so that I can have one “master” table containing a data set, and then one or more copies of that data in the same base, such that updating a record in the master table makes the corresponding changes in the copy/copies. I can’t seem to work out how to do this. Since you have to specify a record ID in the “action”, I can only set it up so that changing record A, B, C, D, etc in Table 1, updates record A in Table 2. I need to set it so that changing record A in table 1 updates record A in table 2; changing record B in table 1 updates B in table 2, etc. Seems like this must be possible?

Hi, I’ve gotten all other fields to pull the correct info from Table A into Table B when triggered, but for some reason the simple text field is not pulling and showing up. Any ideas if this is a bug?

Hello, I’m trying to have a couple of “children” tables (restaurant, hotel, coffee shops) with the same colone format (name, adresse, contact info) all gathered in one “mother” table. The idea would be that when we add or modify a reccord in the “children” table, it adds or modify the same reccord in the “mother” table automaticaly. Its like my “mother” table is a mirror of my “children” tables. If anyone knows if its possible I would love to have a tips because i haven’t cracked it.

Hi I want to make automation that changed a date. Trigger: If “start” date if before today Action: change “start” date to one week from now My question is: how do a make an action that changes a date?

When using the GANTT block is there a way to lock the dates of an individual start and end date of an item? I want to prevent an item that has a predecessor getting automatically moved if I adjust the predecessor in a way that violates the time dependency. I want the line showing the dependency to change to a red dashed line instead to highlight the problem, in the same way as it is highlighted when a dependency is first created is highlighted if the dates of the two items are incompatible.

Hello, Is it possible to have a Single Select include an option for “other” that contacts can customize? So if their choice is not in the drop-down menu, they would choose “other” and an input box would appear for them to enter their response. Thanks!

Hello - I’m an admitted newbie and am having a hard time figuring out how to link the tables in a base that I am using. I am a professional genealogist and take record retrieval requests - could be a number of different kinds of records with different fields needed for information within each. Thank you in advance for your assistance :slightly_smiling_face: When I take a record request, the Client information stays the same, and I want to ask some core questions first as to the type of record retrieval request, what kind of copy they need, when they need it, etc. then LINK that initial request entry that contains the client info over to the specific kind of record they are requesting (each is it’s own table). I thought that should be through the unique auto number but then I need to carry the name, email and phone over, but I’m not seeming to make that work? Here is the unique client record request that should come first - you can see the tabs for the o

Hi! I’m setting up a form. One question of the form is a drop down showing options from another table (linked table). When I look at the drop down options from the form view, I see the multiple look up fields. However, when I look at the drop down on the live form, I only see the first column of the looked up record. How can I display more fields so this selector matches the one I see in the form view? Hope someone can help! Thank you Luc

Hi, I’m looking for assistance in creating a formula that can show all our options for Inventory Location - Basically, at an Account, In House, or with a one-time buyer (that I don’t want to create an entire account for.) If an Account is chosen (through a linked field), return that value. If a value is input in a separate Retail Buyer column (single line text), return that value. If both those fields are empty, return text “In House.” The simple IF formula works to show Account or “In House”: IF({Account}>"", {Account}, “In House”) …but I can’t figure out how to turn this into a nested formula that will provide the third option of a typed in Retail Buyer. Thanks for any help! I’ve managed to run all my company’s business through airtable, so I really hate when I can’t figure out one little thing :weary: :grimacing:

Struggling with parabola ‘send to api’ module while trying to update an airtable table. I’m doing an update (patch) and I’m trying to send some numerical values. { "records": [ { "id": "{inventory record id}", "fields": { "sku":"{sku}", "in stock":"{in stock}", "prev stock":"{prev stock}", "updated":"{updated}" } } ] } If I send this I get an error stating that the ‘in stock’ and ‘prev stock’ can’t accept the values (because airtable is seeing the values as text trying to be inserted into a number field). This works fine when creating records (Post) as I use typecast: true. It doesn’t work for Patch though even if I add typecast: true. It throws a different error. If I change the json to this and remove the quotes from the value fields :- { "records": [ { "id": "{inventory record id}", "fields": { "sku":"{sku}", "in stock":{in stock}, "p

Hallo I would like to generate a simple invoice or delivery note from an order form in airtable I have a small plant shop. www.pflanzerei-zuerich.ch Customers should be able to pic some plants from a database and send me a order. I would like to print this order and prepare the plants for pick-up. I tryed already with some items but was not able to integrate the wished quantity of items, the price and the final calculaltion. Is there a template for this problem. I think it is the basic need every little store has. My goal would be, that the customer can click in the inventory gallery (form) on some items, add quantity and send me this order form with his name and adress… Below you will see some screenhots and links. Thanks Daniel Items in inventory you can choose:

Question about the Jotform integration: can one form entry create multiple new records in Airtable? Or is the integration restricted to creating one new record per form entry? Thanks!

I’m sure there are others out there using AirTable as a citation manager, so I hope someone can help me with this. I have a field for citations (thanks AirTable for adding rich text so I could add italics!) and it seems like it should be simple to export them into a word processing document (Google Docs is my preference, but sometimes Word). Here is what I have: If I Download CSV, I get the whole table. If I use a view with only the citation column, I still have the primary column to deal with. I tried making a block, but I can’t figure out how to put the same field of multiple records on the same page. Also, everything stays in its “field box”(?) instead of one big text box. I’m just a librarian/Ph.D Student who is ashamed not to have figured this out on my own! Please help me before I have to start my dissertation! :winking_face: :winking

On the expanded view, on the desktop you can hide fields; however, in the iPad version this feature is missing. Hiding fields allows for a cleaner viewing experience and hides data we don’t want seen. Is there a timeline for adding this feature? Also, does anyone have a current workaround to accomplish the same thing? I notice a 2016 thread with this request but didn’t see a reply.
