Am trying to export or call two functions Eg. (teachers.js and student.js) that are link up to index.js but it throws error initializeBlock should only be called once. If i tried to call the both at index.js as per below, it will not work. initializeBlock(() => {<Teachers />; <Students />}); How do I solve this issue. student.js import {initializeBlock, useBase, useRecords, createRecordAsync, updateRecordAsync, updateRecordsAsync, table, useRecordIds} from '@airtable/blocks/ui'; import React, { Component } from "react"; import {base} from '@airtable/blocks'; function Students (){ const base = useBase(); const tab = base.getTableByNameIfExists('students_table'); const records = useRecords(tab); return ( <ul> <h1>Welcome to Students Records</h1> <br /> {records.map(record => { return <l

Is it possible to query or filter the revision history? I’d like to use this for Agile planning, and we want to know if stories are getting moved from sprint to sprint and why.

I’m doing a simple budget with Airtable, and when I had done it previously there had been a summary bar at the bottom that summarized the currency fields. Now I don’t see any such thing. Is that only part of Pro now? Did they take it away entirely? Or do you need to manually add in the summary bar?

Hi, I have a 3rd party program that documents all the incoming phone calls received via my client’s website and various other relevant information (UTM parameters, status call, status duration etc.). I tried to integrate these details into a CRM dashboard in Airtable via a webhook, but it doesn’t work. In order to make sure that the data arrives the way it should from that 3rd party program, I integrated it with Google Sheets and the information indeed comes through just fine. I even tried to integrate that Google Sheets table as a trigger, so the data would be received by the Airtable dashboard, but it doesn’t work, either. Any ideas what could be wrong? Please help me!

I have a table with {date_approved} column, now I want to summarize the count for this per week. For example: {date_approved} | {count} 06/01/2020 | 5 06/02/2020 | 5 06/03/2020 | 5 06/04/2020 | 5 06/05/2020 | 5 06/06/2020 | 5 06/07/2020 | 5 06/08/2020 | 5 06/09/2020 | 5 Let’s say 06/01/2020 and 06/08/2020 is Monday. 06/07/2020 is Sunday. Total count: 35 (Monday to Sunday) At present, this block is only summarizing the count per week, Monday to Sunday. But I it to count/group from Friday to Thursday by default. Is this possible? If not, what should I do to get the same effect? I just want to get a summary of {count} each custom week range {date_approved}. Thanks!

I’m trying to make gantt chart that calculates how long different product will take to make. Depending on how busy the workshop is we might work in the weekends - however if there is a national holiday or something similar we’ll not work. I’ve made comma separated iso dates for all holidays. I can easily calculate an end date with the WORKDAY(startDate, numDays, [holidays]) but I’m trying to find a way to calculate an end date if we worked in the weekends but not holiday. So basically is it possible to only exclude the holidays?

Hi there, I have a list of properties that I want to track how often I send them direct mail. I want to be able to compile a list of properties, export into CSV, then upload the advertising and send. It appears you cannot filter out an exact match, so if I have a property included in multiple lists, i’m getting all of the lists instead of one specific list. (see photos). How would you suggest I tackle this?

Is it possible to conditionally shade fields themselves instead of a color line on the left side of the entry? Those are NOT catching my eye at all, and I need them to!

Good afternoon to everybody, I have developed a database with a shared view lo be uploaded to a web site, the problem that I am having is that when I expand a linked filed in the shared view it only shows me the primary key of the linked field , and I can´t see the other fields of the linked field.

We work with breweries and their beers and want to have very extensive fields for both. Thing is we also work on timelines with breweries and want to have some sort of reminder/dashboard system where we can track their responses and deadlines, etc. Multiple users will be using it. We were hoping to also have the ability to store emails we sent from Outlook into a given contact’s record. I believe that is possible but I wanted to hear from others how well that works. Basically what we are looking for in a custom relationship database with some contact management features. Airtable is the first product I’m looking at and hope it suits us because it looks very slick and affordable.

I’m trying to make a script that’ll work along side the Gantt chart. I want the script to automatically to find the record above the current record and push that into a link field to create a dependency. Does anyone know if that possible? I’ve been looking through the documentation, and haven’t found anything to get me started.

Hello there, I want to send a mail (from Gmail) with miltiple attached files ->to zapier mail address which then ->creates a new entry in my airtable with all the attachments showing up in the airtable entry. So far: when I send a mail with only one attachment - it is there - works when I send a mail with more than one attachment - I get this unnamed attachment “picture” What I am trying to achieve: to have an e-mail address to which all my invoices are sent so I can manage payments in Airtable. Can you help? I tried parser and adding formatter but I am new to this kind of thing so it didn’t work for me. Thanks in advance

I have a table which is a collection of contacts which are family units (kids & parents/guardians). I had planned on establishing relationships between records by having a “guardian” field which would be a link to a record in the same table. This works great. Problem is that when doing that between 2 tables it creates a linked field in both tables so I get bidirectional link. When linking to the same table I don’t get that bidirectional link - the “guardian” record can’t see what children it has. I feel like I’m missing something simple but I can’t think this morning. Any way to get the bidirectional link in the same table?

Hi, I am using mini extension to generate barcode in airtable. While the picture shows, when I try to print it using page designer, the barcode only shows black box, How can I address this?

Hi, As an advanced excel user, I feel like I’m missing something fundamental with the way databases work and I keep trying to do something which I’m now sure is impossible in Airtable but don’t understand why when it seems so simple. In my latest project: I want a list of clients I want my calendar with available group sessions, to which I can add clients When I add clients to this, I want it to link to a table of invoices, with a new invoice to track for each client. All I am achieving at the moment is a list of all the amalgamated appointments next to the clients name. This does not allow me to track each invoice as ‘paid’, ‘cancelled’, due etc. I cannot track them from the calendar, because each appointment relates to multiple clients. This seems the ideal project to add to a database but I know I am missing some basic principles to help me understand how my base design needs changing.

Hi Airtablers, I’m a total newb here and I’m struggling with forms for data input. I have achieved a passable/usable form on one grid which I would like to copy over and reuse with other grids rather than manually go through all the set-up and again. I’m pretty sure that this can be done since no one likes redoing stuff they already done. But, I have not discovered how. I would really appreciate hearing from you if you can tell me how to basically cut and paste a form from one grid to another. Thank you for reading. T

I have a table called “Settings” and a field called “Next Number” and a field called “Format” Next Number is 101000 Format is ‘TRnnnnnn’ How do I write a script that when I press run, it updates all blank Primary Keys on my view, with the new numbers in sequence, and updates the Next Number setting, ready for the next time I run the auto sequence script. I have tried using a formula, but that doesn’t work because I need to use the next number from the other table, not from the same table. I have tried using a script but I get an error all the time trying to update my barcode primary key, so thats very weird. Type 'string' is not assignable to type '{ text: string; type?: string; }'.(2322) and Can't set cell values: No record with id rec711laJqEuPh65f exists I have looked at all of the script examples. but there are not nearly enough simple examples to do even basic things like updating a

Hi - I need help with advanced linking and maybe formulas or rolls ups? I have 4 tables. Roles Products Content types Services I created a 5th table (Touchpoints). I want to take the names from the 1st column in tables 1-4 and populate the first column in table 5 with them. So that the values in table 5 are linked back to their original tables. However I do not want all the values from tables 1-4 to be used in table 5. And I want to be able to add values in table 5 that are not coming from tables 1-4. Also I would like to add an additional column in table 5 that automatically populates for each record if it is a person, a product, a content type, or a service based on which table (1-4) the record came from.
