Hello there :slightly_smiling_face: I am using Integromat to import values from contact form to Airtable. In Airtable I have two tables Clients and Inquires and when contact form is submitted data is stored in both tables. I manage to set up Integromat to store data in new row in Inquiry and Client tab and to link records together. What I am trying to achieve is create new client tab only if the client with same email does not already exist. If there is a client record with same email, the inquiry should be linked to that record. Note; The primary field in Clients tab is “Client Name” and “Client email” is email field in Clients tab. The contact form does not have Name as required field and if name is not provided Integromat creates “Add name” linked record (This is the case in current scenario and it should remain that way if there is no client with existing email.) I would appreciate suggestions on how to achieve this.

We are trying to get a better understanding of Airtable and its possible usage. We are a nonprofit that offers events, supports students going to college, has donors/sponsors, and has people that have more general usage of our services and more specific usage of our services. Are there any other small non profits that use this tool with these type of uses? Can you tell me about your experience (do you have to custom build this to work for you or was it ready to go at start, who did you have build if needed, how many people do you have adding this, how easy is it enter data and manage the data etc I am also wanting to better understanding creating and pulling reports. Just some examples of things that we would need to be able to add in and see Information I would need to enter: Individuals *Persons Name (Donors name, students name, casual users name, attendees name, *sponsors contact name or maybe business name?) *Contact info (emails, phone numbers, addresses

It would appear that the ‘Date’ field does not record seconds. Here’s why I think this: Here are the formulas I’m using to expose this: DATETIME_FORMAT({Date (no secs?)}, ‘DD-MM-YYYY h:mm:ss’) DATETIME_FORMAT({Created Time}, ‘DD-MM-YYYY h:mm:ss’) I hope I’m wrong about this. I need to be able to grab seconds from a ‘Date’ record.

I have created a simple contract tracing app using two tables, each with a form view. The first records the name and contract details of the visitor. On submission, form 1 redirects to form 2, prefilling a sign-out field with {record_id}. I would like to also pass the visitor’s name to form 2 for the sake of clarity. Is this possible?

Hi so I’m trying to show a card with minimal info then allow a viewer (via an embed link on my webpage) to be able to click the ‘card’ and expand view to show MORE details. All I am seeing is the fields visible are displayed on the CARD aswell as in the expanded view instead of minimal data on card and MORE data in expanded view. Please help me, community!

Someone added me as a Base Collaborator with Editor permissions. I accepted the invite from the invite email. But I don’t see where to access the shared Base. I’ve researched and found reference to a “Bases Shared with Me” section that’s supposed to appear in my list of Workspaces. But it’s not there. Help please. Thanks!

Hi! I want to add a formula that does the following: If “created on” is within the last week OR “revisit on” is today, then TRUE (i.e. check a box or write true in a text field). “Created on” and “revisit on” are both date fields. This way, I can better filter my view (my filter includes both “and” and “or” conditions, which is why I need to use a formula). Thank you!!

Hello! I linked Process St with google sheets, and google sheets with airtable. From Process St, the data is transferred to Google sheets, and to Airtable this data is not transferred, but although everything works in Zapier What to do? Where could the problem be?

I am trying to have a zap find a record based on an email address and then update the record. Unfortunately, the Find Record zap finds the record ID and everything else, except the Base and Table IDs. So when I try to add an Update Record zap, it can’t find it because it requires the Base and Table IDs for the record. I happen to have the Base and Table IDs in an Excel table, but the Update Record doesn’t find the record that way either. I’m assuming I need the Base and Table ID to be found on the Find Record zap or the Update Record to use the Base and Table IDs from the Excel table. I’ve been emailing support for months now and it has not been resolved.

Hey all! I am new and just playing around with Airtable. So far it’s been really great and simple! However, when I try to link tables, I’m not sure where I’m going wrong but they data is not linking to the correct item and instead I am getting extra columns and it’s getting slightly confusing. The concept isn’t difficult so what am I missing haha! I know there are a few other questions about this but if someone wouldn’t mind looking at my base, that’d be cool! I am just trying to figure out where I’m going wrong. I’d love to use Airtable but want to make sure the learning curve isn’t too steep. Thanks! Link here:

Hey Airtable Community. Does anyone know how to count how many entries are made on a particular date ie if I had 5 forms completed today and 4 yesterday I’d love a column to autocount. It would be amazing to count the week too. Each form is a lead and I want to set targets and automate my results. Help appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, I work for a youth engagment organisation. We have a community of several hundred young people in our network, and we put on various events and workshops throughout the year. I’d like to know which events young people are attending over a 12 month period, and I am hoping to use Airtable to do this. I plan to do this by having a ‘community’ sheet with an email address as a unique ID and a ‘projects sheet’ with an attendee field which links to the email field in the community sheet. I’d like to create a form which people can put their email address into on arrival at an event, and if they are already in our base it will auto populate the rest of the fields, and if not, allow them to create a new record, assigned against that particular event. Is this possible? Thanks so much for your help!

Hi all, I have two spreadsheets - one is a project tracker, and the other is a task list linked to the project tracker. I have start and end dates on the task list spreadsheet. Is it possible to link those dates to the project tracker and have the project tracker “start date” be the earliest start date of the tasks linked to it and the “end date” be the latest end date of the tasks linked to it? I want to create a Gantt chart from the project tracker but I want the start and end dates to be dependent on the dates of the tasks linked to it. Thank you!!

Is there a way to set up Kanban table to provide notifications of a specific status change. I.e. provide notice to a specific Slack channel of a change from status X to Y, instead of any general changes to the status overall. Thanks

Hi, community, I’m looking for advice on a better way to organize my process for clients. (new to the process) Right now I handle this in two different bases but I’m hoping I can have all info in one. I have a client base then an inventory base. I work in the interior design/real estate is the industry. I have a client base that has the job description and address of the job that I do for a client, then I have another base that has inventory for the client and the associated address of the job. Is there a way to have one base that shows the following path: client “A” info then I can drill down to client “A” particular job via address, then drill down to that addresses inventory sheet? I hope this makes sense. It seems silly to go to one base and put in all the details for the client except the inventory (which is done in another base) I’d love to handle it all in one if it’s possible then I can see all details for each client. Client “A” hired me to do “x” job the

Hi all! Working on a project where I have different tables: Events People I create an event that has a start date and an end date. After creating the event, I add the event team by adding team members (table.people) to a linked field. In order to see who is added to an event, I would like to create a Gantt view that has the following layout: Event shown from start date to end date When collapsing the event, each team member is shown separately, also with the start and end date I cannot seem to setup this view. Got as far as displaying the Gantt with the ‘full team’ (showing all team members linked to the event in one field, instead of the team showing separately). Is there a workaround for this?
