Hello, I am trying to understand more about the paid plans, and who exactly on the team needs to pay for plans to access bases that use paid features. We use airtable for our general employee handbook. Although everyone needs to access it, only the admin team needs to have editing/creator rights. From my understanding, someone with a paid plan account needs to create a workspace that houses the handbook base. Then they would share it with the rest of the team, and note in airtable who needs read-only permissions (in which those users won't need paid plans to access the base), and those who should have editing rights (in which we would then need to pay for their plan). Is this correct?We want the handbook base to have the paid features of higher record limit and sync intergrations which would be useful, but we don't want to end up paying $20 a month per seat for everyone just for those two features as the cost isn't justifiable for

Hello,I work for a growing nonprofit that needs *help* in the area of Email Marketing.  We use Airtable to manage our various lists of people and their contact information, but I need a good Email Marketing App that will integrate well with Airtable. We're using MailChimp right now, but it's a mess because it's not integrated with our Airtable contact lists. Can anyone recommend a setup for using Airtable as the CRM, integrated with another Email Marketing App that can:Automatically sync contact lists "two ways" with Airtable.Meaning, if someone updates the Airtable list then the Email App's List will be updated, or if someone Subscribes using an Email App SignUp Form then Airtable's Lists will be updated. (FYI, MailChimp doesn't do this natively, neither does Outfunnel which integrates Airtable and MailChimp.)Manage the Contact Lists, tags, groups, etc. in Airtable, andDesign & send

Hey! We build our company automation and centralized system with Airtable's API & Automation systems.We use 1 Workspace with many many different Bases. Could the Dashboard (in the main view) have folders inside the Workspace that can be used to divide the different bases, which would make it easier to organize and find the right Base. The view looks really messed up right now. 

I live in Lagos, Nigeria, one of the biggest commercial hubs in Africa and I think it's a shame that Airtable is hardly known here. People are still using decade old desktop versions of popular office software that they learned to use when they were in university. I would like to officially partner with Airtable to showcase the product to businesses in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. I sent an email through the Airtable contact form about this but I received a generic response that sounded as if the person didn't even understand my request. I'm hoping that an Airtable community manager or sales representative will respond to this post.

Hi - the iframe code that is generated when you want to share a view makes it look like the background can be changed, but it is always grey regardless of what I do with the iframe code. Has anyone been able to change the background color? Thanks. <iframe class="airtable-embed" src="https://airtable.com/embed/shdfgsfgs0I?**backgroundColor=blue**" frameborder="0" onmousewheel="" width="100%" height="533" style="border: 1px solid #ccc;"></iframe>

We have been using the free version of Airtable for awhile and wanted to upgrade our account to paid to allow for more boards. The creator of the account is no longer with our organization and we don't have access to that email address. So when we "request an upgrade" it goes nowhere and we are stuck.I have emailed support numerous times, emailed Sales numerous times and I am not getting any response. If Airtable only responds to accounts that pay - how can customers who don't pay right now upgrade? We are in an endless loop of having no answers.

I want to change the name of a selection in a single-select field. When I went to do that, the warning of all that will be affected came up: 2 syncs, 12 interfaces, etc. My question is, will this mean I need to go make changes to all of these or will it automatically happen? I'm hesitant to try it w/out knowing the consequences as it affects a great number of things, including automations that a developer set up for us. 

Is it possible to automatically submit a form? I’m creating a series of links that have the form input prefilled. Each can take me to the form with the info I want ready and waiting (which is terrific). At that point I have to click Submit. I’m using this for class attendance, so it’s a quick rundown of 25 entries at a time. It would be ideal to load the prefilled URL and have that submit automatically. Is that possible? TIA, Nathan

I have a requirement to embed the airtable form in our website and redirect to a url when the form is submitted. However, when clicked on submit button the redirect url is blocked by pop-up blocker(enabled by default on websites). I used the sandbox attributes but still no luck. Am able to open the form in a new tab but that’s not my requirement. I would like to embed the form in my current page. Is there a workaround available?

I have created a redirect page for the user to be sent to once the form is submitted. Browsers seem to be detecting this as a pop up and just sending them back to a new form. Is there a way around this?

Email fields in forms don’t seem to be validated very strongly. My form keeps accepting entries like “name. lastname@host.com” (notice the space). How do I prevent the form from accepting badly formatted emails like this?

Hello all This thread is only to ask if anyone can confirm if this is possible… and if it is… then WOOHOO, I will sign up for a Pro account immediately and abandon my attempts at this in FileMakerPro!!! Scenario: I run a youth program with about 85 teenagers enrolled. Throughout the year we offer trips, excursions, courses, events, competitions, etc. In preparation for each event, I need to know how many kids intent to participate so I can plan for meals, resources, transportation, etc. Currently I am doing this via Google Forms. I create one form for each event, and ask the kids to fill it in if they want to participate. But that means that every single time they have to enter their first name, last name, email address, phone number, etc. Which is crazy, since I have all that info already. But by doing it this way, the Google Form fills out a Google Sheet, which becomes my roster of attendees for planning, attendance, contact roster, etc. Two d

Apologies if the question sounds weird. Basically, what I am trying to create is a form that records user and their IT asset.What I would like to have is that when I select their ID (the AD Login option) on the form, if they have an existing asset, it should automatically be shown on the "Old Asset Tag" option. If they don't have an existing asset, it will not show up. Is it possible to actually do so with Airtable? Or do I need something else?(In case you are wondering why don't I just split the form into one for new records and one for update, it's because I need to show the "history" of the user and their IT asset. With this way of recording, I can see the "history" of what IT asset the user previously has or not.)

I have brought in multiple tables to Microsoft Power Query via Airtable’s API which creates queries for the tables. The issue I have is that all linked records Display [List]. When I click on that field the record appears to be the Record ID for the linked tables Primary Key. I assume that this needs to be extracted and then merged with the corresponding table(s) by the record ID then just expand the column that is actually linked.Is this the only way and if not is it the most efficient? 

Hello all--I run a content company and we have many different types of content and about 1,000 individual pieces of content. I would like to create an AI field that would provide recommended or related content by reading in the table the segment title and description. When I've tried it, it recommends ideas for new content related to that title or description, not related content within the table which is what I want. I've tried asking it to read cells using the {} brackets, but it still just suggests content ideas unrelated to what's in the table. Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance!

Has background color? how add font color and background color?

Form question for you all. I need to capture phone number on an Airtable form however I can't figure out how to require it be entered as a 10 digit number so that area code is captured. The Phone number field type does not require the response to be 10 digits. I'm open to using the Formula field type however can't find a formula to use that would require 10 digits. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have received a support request from one of my organisation’s users, copied below. Does anyone have any suggestions? Do AirTable forms bug on some browsers, for example? Other users have used the form and we have received the data. Many thanks in advance, Julie "I have just spent 3 hours filling in the form (Make a Policy Development Request) to have all the information I entered wiped. this is the 3rd time i have tried to present my proposal on this webpage to have all information wiped. this is highly frustrating."

I’m going to presume the answer is “no”, but is there really no way to wrap the text (esp title text) of a card when presented in kanban or gallery view? Has anyone found the CSS rules that can be changed in Developer Tools, perhaps?

Since space is limited, is there a way to limit file sizes for files uploaded via forms? Thanks.

I want to show a shared table view with shared table view link at the office on a TV in Kiosk mode. I have a Raspberry Pi running a browser in Kiosk mode to power the TV. Here’s the question: does the shared view auto-update itself? If I just leave running on TV, and then edit some info in my computer, are those edits reflected on the TV? I guess I could hack the browser to automatically refresh itself, but it would be more convenient if the shared links already worked like that :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi, using the Free version I'm trying to import a  15MB Excel sheet into an existing base with four tables (3-6 records per table) but I get the following message:"testfile.xlsx exceeds maximum allowed size of 5 MB"I assume this is a limit of the Free version? If so; what are the filesize limits of Team and Business versions?

  One of my bases mentions "Over Limits · 30 days left" / This base has gone over the record limit. To keep adding records, upgrade your workspace.I sill can add new records... what will it happen now?Do i have 30 days to remove or to move records out of the base? 

Is there a way I can export my airtable base to firebase without having to pay a fee? I tried using Rowy, but that needs an API and airtable doesn't allow that anymore.Then I tried to set up an automation to google docs within airtable, but to create a google doc requires a paid account.I don't want to continually sync data, just a one time export so that I can use the data in another way from firebase.How do I get my data out?!! 

Hi all! First time poster, hoping someone can explain to me why I cannot figure this out based on my lurking on other threads.I have a table (below) tracking information about tours we coordinate. We track the Presenters on each tour and a count field, so I can sum the total number of presenters across all our tours. However, I want to get the number of UNIQUE presenters across all the tours. e.g. if Vivaldi's Four Seasons and Romeo & Juliet both have "Shire of Cue" as a Presenter, how can I make sure it only gets counted once?To make matter more complicated, I'm hoping to have this unique count number be on the same table as the rest of the information, because otherwise I can't access it easily when building a dashboard interface.Appreciate any and all suggestions!
