Suddenly unable to access airtable from n8n

I put in a ticket but haven’t gotten a response, was just wondering if anyone knows why I might have lost access from n8n, i’ve tested both oauth and personal access tokens, ensured the permissions are all granted, tried new n8n airtable nodes, tested old and new credentials, and added money to my airtable subscription since it started while I was on the free plan. Every airtable connection regardless of which type of authorization yields:403, { "error": { "type": "INVALID_PERMISSIONS_OR_MODEL_NOT_FOUND", "message": "Invalid permissions, or the requested model was not found. Check that both your user and your token have the required permissions, and that the model names and/or ids are correct." } } Node version2.1 (Latest)n8n version1.95.3 (Cloud)Anyone have a theory I might test to get access again?

Collaborators seeing 'Page not supported on mobile' error — even though it works on my phone

Hi everyone!Two of my collaborators are using Airtable on their tablets, and when they try to open certain pages (like interfaces or synced views), they get the message:“This page is not supported on mobile.”Or“Incorrect Permissions” The strange part is: I can open the same exact pages on my phone (mobile browser and Airtable app) without issues. Their permissions haven’t changed, and they’ve had access before. We tried checking their login, app version, and even attempted opening in a browser instead of the app, but the problem persists.Has anyone experienced this before? Could this be device-specific, or related to screen size/resolution? Any ideas or workarounds would be appreciated!Thanks in advance 🙏

Airtable Fillout integration problem on subform

I feel like this might be a Fillout issue but thought I would check here to see if anyone can identify if I'm doing something wrong.  I have a base connected to a form in Fillout.  When I pull up the form and click “integrate” at the top, it shows a connection to the correct table. When I click back on...Edit at the top, Go to the page that contains a field linking to a subform Click the field the subform is attached to,   Open settings on the right Click Edit Record creation form to pull up the form,...it says connected at the top, but when I click the integrate tab on the sub form and look at my connections, I continue to get the following message.  I've updated my API Key in Fillout, updated my PAT Token in Airtable, cleared my cache, confirmed my mapping is correct, I don't have any automations that might cause the problem,  and tried a different browser.   I was connected to a different base and it was working properly.  Short of recreating the entire form, I'm stuck.  any suggest

Print a multiple page document created by Page Designer

Hello, I'm stuck and need your help.I created a 6-page contract using the Airtable Page Designer extension.The problem is twofold: I succeeded in the first step but not the second.Basically, the Page Designer extension only allows you to edit a single page. I found a way to extend the page height by multiplying it by 6. Except that Airtable doesn't allow you to insert page breaks, and I'm exporting a very long PDF file that I can't split. And no matter how hard I search, I haven't found an acceptable solution for printing this contract correctly.Do you have any solutions or advice?Thanks!

Unable to import CSV files

AirTable is not allowing me to upload my CSV file. I click on the + sign, select “CSV file” under “Add from other sources”. I drag in my CSV file under the “Local Files” section and click “Upload 1 file”. It seems to work, I select “Create a new table” under the “Import your file” dropdown. It shows me a beautifully created base with all the column's I’d like.  However when I click “Import” I get an error sign saying “Can’t import CSV file” with the statement “Invalid data” underneath. Does anyone know what might be going on / how I can fix this. The only option airtable gives me is to click a button saying “Okay” and I’m back to the start.

How to Export Table Structure

Is there a way to export the structure of a table to csv, JSON, etc.? Specifically, I’m looking for a way to export information about a table, not the data itself. Some method that will give me an output like field 2 is long text, field 3 is lookup, field 4 is date, field 5 is single select, etc.

Keyword density calculation?

Anybody has tips on how to do that? I have a long text field (cca. 1000-2000 characters including spaces). Beside that another field showing keywords, usually not more than 10-15 keywords. These keywords are typed in through Google API and edited by me manually. These can be keywords (or better say key phrases) are separated by comma. These are the words (phrases) I want to make sure I have them in my long text field in sufficient number of times. I am looking for a way to calculate the keyword density, that is how often do the keywords (the words in the keyword field) appear in the long text field. I do not need to see individual count, sufficient is to have summary count - number of times any keyword appears in the long text. The density count will give me a percentage = number of total keywords(phrases) / total words in the long text I looked at this suggestion here but it seems to me Airtable database would explode if I start generating a tag (which seems to me is essentially a

Copying/Pasting from AirTable into Email in Table Form?

Hi, I would like to copy a table (a specific view) to paste it into a table format into an email, but I can’t seem to figure it out. It seems that if I were to copy the records in an AirTable, it just converts into plain text when I paste it into email, instead of a tabular format. I tried a bunch of different ways, but the only way that ended up working was downloading into csv, applying borders to my table in csv, and then pasting it into Gmail. Surely there is a better/faster way to do this? Hoping someone could help here!

Restrict access to an email domain

Hi! Does anyone know a trick about how to get the email of a user, that filled a form with a “Restrict access to an email domain” activated? When this feature is on, the user must sign up and login into AirTable to fill the form. If the user’s email domain belongs to the one accepted at the form settings, then he can view the form, fill and submit it. So my question is: since the user have just signed up and login, is there a way we can save the email address used, inside the created record? Thank community!

Sync data - give editor access to sync data and creator access to the rest of the table

Hello, I have a main base and several project bases that have a two-way sync with this main base. In these project bases, I receive data from my main base, but also have columns specific to these project which are freely editable by the teams.I would like my columns from the main base (the sync one) to be in editor access to the teams (values are editable, but not the column), and the non-sync columns to be in creator access to the teams. How can I do that ? Thanks !Agnès

Printing from Interfaces

Hello Community! Has anyone had success printing from the new Interfaces feature? I’ve created some texts and a table in the new Interfaces feature - basically it’s a nice checklist. When I do a basic print - the formatting is way off and my table doesn’t fit on the page. I tried using the app Page Designer, but it doesn’t appear that you can select an Interface to load into Page Designer. Thoughts? Suggestions?

"Unnamed" Records in URL Prefill for Linked Record Field

I’m running into an issue where a URL prefill is linking the correct records to the form, but showing them as “unnamed”. I know they are the right records, because when I submit it shows the correct records. This wouldn’t be a problem, except for the fact the the user needs to see which record is which employee, so if they need to they can remove someone that left early, for example. Anyone have any ideas how to have it show the names of the employees that definitely are not “unnamed” and have something in their primary field?We are using Record IDs to prefill the Employees field.Thanks in advance to anyone that has any ideas or suggestions!
