I’m a real estate agent and discovered airtable over 1.5 years ago and it has changed my level of productivity, I literally use it every single day. Just recently I was pointed towards an add-on app called Stacker that allows me to turn my airtable into a real estate app and it’s already become very impactful in a matter of days. I am excited to see how Stacker grows and I see massive potential here. I would be curious to hear from other airtable users - have you found other add-on apps that plug into airtable and have massively increased sales, productivity and efficiency in your organization? Looking forward to your comments and thank you!!

Didn’t records in a Timeline block used to stack to avoid overlapping like this? It’s been a while since I used the Timeline block, but I swear when I used it before, the records stacked so that you could actually read the labels when they were condensed like this. What happened? Am I doing something wrong in the way I set it up that is causing them to stay on the same plane?

Hi, I have two Airtable accounts, and try to migrate one table to another account. However, views are showing differently under two accounts. This is very annoying and can not be configured by me so far. See Attached 1 and 2. I want it to show as Att2.

How might I allow an end user to be presented only with the records in a base table that fit their requirements? When searching items on Amazon, newegg, and other shopping sites, on the left are a series of ‘refinements’ where you select attributes like color, size, and price, and the list shortens as you apply the refinements. I don’t necessarily need the dynamic sort (click an attribute, list automatically shortens) that some sites have, just a form where the user selects the options they want, clicks submit, and the results appear. Can I do this with an Airtable Block or maybe Typeform?

Hello, I want to get daily summary of records from Airtable to Slack channel. I tried it by Append Entry and Schedule Digest, but it doesn’t work. I also tried instructions from your Airtable blog, but in the Record field I can’t see Use a Custom Value.

I just discovered that the URLs used for attachments appears to be public and accessible/downloadable without a login to airtable, even for tables that are not shared For example, the following URL is to an attachment in an non-shared table, but is viable wherever I put the URL in, and presumably you can open it too: https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/81cfc19904f7d8aea2f5e62e0584f1a7/459869a8/TESTDOCUMENT.txt This public URL was pulled from the “Download CVS” cvs export file. Furthermore, when I delete an attachment and clear the trash, the link is still live. So here are my urgent questions: How do I make my attachments secure? How do I delete attachments so that the download link is no longer live? It is notable that the record URL does require

PLEASE HELP a big part of our process is around importing specific records that are written like this: “THIS | IS | AN | EXAMPLE” … and just recently it now breaks that single record into THIS, IS, AN, EXAMPLE… which is a nightmare to have to debug. It will cost us MANY hours to have to go back and change our naming conventions across all of our campaigns. Is there a way to decide what will or will not split a record into an array upon uploading? I knew “,” did it but “|” seems to be brand new… PLEASE HELP! PS I tested with copy and pasting, which works fine (very odd) but again, we need the upload functionality to find and replace duplicate records :confused: Hope to hear from you guys soon!

Hi there! So I’ve recently started to work with Airtable and now tbh I’ve stucked in one place. So as an initial model i’ve decided to use the CRM template. In my opportunities table I wanted to add functionality which will allow three of my team members to rate/assess the opportunity. Sure, i can make three separate fields (rating fields) but it will not look good (as I will need to create fourth one for the average). So my question is - how to do it via separate table? My initial thought was to create new table (let’s call it Scoring) where the first column is a formula-based average, next three are rating fields and somehow i need to add there a list of my opportunities from the first (opportunities table). But i have no idea how to do it. Any tips on that? Because when I do it this way, on my opportunities table in a single row after double click i see all other row ratings, which is weird…

How do you show different views when you expand a card vs in preview mode? This is specifically for the gallery view. For example, I want to show fewer fields in the preview of the card and more fields when you click to expand that specific card. Also, if a field doesn’t have info, is it possible to create a filter that removes unanswered or empty fields?

I’m an artist (and graphic designer) and would like to use icons of an easel and a painting frame… How would I add them? Do you have a larger icon repository I could search in?

I am trying to adopt the summaries used in the Sales CRM Dashboard to get summaries in my Product database. I have a field that makes the category into a 3 digit number. I’ve tried linking this to a one row Summary table with no luck. It doesn’t seem to matter if I link the tables from the Cards table to the Summaries table, or vice versa. Either way, when I add the Rollup that refers to the NumAbbCalc field of the Cards table, I get nothing in the Summaries record. Somehow the connection between the tables is not correct.

Can Airtable be made to work like a task manager? I currently use Things 3 as my daily list of tasks to be done that I then ‘tick off’ to clear them from my list. Can Airtable function like this? I’ve been playing with it today and have set up basic stuff, but can’t find any way to create a sort of to do list like my Today view in Things whereby when I tick a task to complete it, it disappears from my Today view (and is stored in the log).
