Other Questions

Hi group,  Wanted to ask you about how you manage user management. I get a lot of questions from our organisation about “who can add me to Airtable”, and so far it’s just me managing our groups (I’ve made groups based on permission rights and what interfaces they should see).I’ve seen there is an option to assign members of these groups to be the group admins. I’m wondering if it’s worth making one user per team an admin, so they can manage access rights for their area without always going through me.How do you manage this? any good tips?

I’ve been building an app through the free trial and have hit a snag. I’m aware Airtable won’t let you create new Linked Records in a form. Fillout doesn’t have the capacity for a price my boss is willing to pay. I’ve been using Gemini quite a bit which has been helpful, and they suggested something that would work but I wanted your opinion (Confidently incorrect AI’s and all that). My tables in question are “Customers” which can have many “Locations” and “Contacts”. Locations can have many “Jobs”. If I create a job and the customer doesn’t exist, I have to leave to make the customer, only to remember that I don’t have the contact or location, so I have to leave and do those, repeat ad-nauseum. Gemini’s suggestion is to create a master intake table. For the customer, I could select from a dropdown (as usual), but if it’s a new customer, I would fill in new fields for the customer information. Repeat with Location, Contacts, and the Job details. Then use automation to parse the data and

I have a text field which I’m manually populating with UUIDv7s. This string is time-ordered by the first sequence of characters.When sorting A-Z on this column, I’d expect that to happen. It isn’t. These two entries sort in this order. 019c607b-60d7-72dd-b925-f76680dae347 019c6051-5b66-7586-85b8-c54c63dbf350What am I missing?

Hi, everyone! For the last 24 hours, I haven’t been able to download CSV files from any of my bases. I’ve tried in the app (on Mac and Windows), and in multiple browsers. Although I see the “preparing CSV file for download” popup, no file is downloaded. Anyone else experiencing this issue, or have a workaround? (UPDATE: it appears it is specific to my workplace, as I can download files from my home network. Anyone have such an issue with their IT setup blocking Airtable downloads?)Thanks in advance, Carole

While testing automation with Airtable, the webpage froze. I closed the page and tried to re-access Airtable, but the homepage wouldn't load. I could access other pages besides the main page, but when I logged in, I saw the screen below. I tried using a different account, but the same thing happened.  

I found something that talked about 216px, but it keeps doing this. 

I get that you can upload a document to Superagent, but will it analyze all of the documents that are attached/uploaded to an Airtable database (i.e., so you don't have to upload them manually)?

Does right now form cannot upload attachments for read only/free users?errror says “You are not permitted to perform this operation”  

Hi Airtable Community! 👋I’ve been working on a small project where I use Airtable to track and analyze my daily Letter Boxed (NYT word puzzle) performance, and I’d love some advice on improving the structure and automations.🎯 What I’m Trying to DoI want to build a base that: Stores daily Letter Boxed puzzles (letters on each side) Logs the words I used to solve them Tracks number of words per solution (2-word solves, 3-word solves, etc.) Calculates average solve efficiency over time Identifies commonly reused word patterns 🗂 Current SetupI currently have:Table 1: Daily Puzzles Date Letters (long text field) Word Count (formula) Difficulty Rating (manual select) Table 2: Words Used Linked to Daily Puzzles Word Word Length First Letter Last Letter I’m using formulas to check: Whether the last letter of Word 1 matches the first letter of Word 2 Total character coverage of all 12 letters ❓ Where I’m Stuck Is there a better relational structure for tracking multi-

Looks like I’m one of the first to do get into it on Superagent. lol I am creating an in depth product training for a beauty brand w/Superagent. I can’t seem to get it to use actual images of the products though, it keeps creating (rather terrible) ones. Is there a way to do this? Or edit by hand?

Hello, good afternoon.I’m reaching out urgently with this question because I still haven’t received a response from support. In one of our dashboards, we have uploaded files that we share with clients, but for the past 2 days all the file links have been returning an error when downloading.The message we get is directly:“Check if there is a typo in s3.dualstack.us-east-1.amazonaws.com.If it is spelled correctly, try running the Windows Network Diagnostics.DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN”Has this happened to anyone else?

I’ve been trying to achieve a simple thing. I want to have Table 1 as database where i can store people information like Name, Personal ID, etc. And I want to import selected information from Table 1 to Table 2. It should autofill and whenever i add a new person into Table 1(the database) it should reflect in Table 2 as well. HOW do i achieve that. So far i’ve tried linked records but then i have to manually press on every single person to import their information. Please help an ignorant soul.Example:Table 1 has people personal IDs i want to fill in Table 2 based on these IDs automatically

As recently as a few days ago, Airtable’s What’s New page let us know the new features that Airtable was adding but now the page shows a 404? You can still find the base here, updated as recently as this month (February ‘26) here, but hopefully that base keeps getting updates?

I have been trying several Airtable alternatives to try to build my app stack options to select from and commit to build my first initial version of a functional app.During the Airtable’s free Teams trial period, I came to realization that there are additional, especially 3rd party forms & automation, applications are required to build a functional & manageable application based on Airtable.I’m just a start up. No special category like .edu, non-profit, etc.I cannot provide any verifications because I have not focused on social profiles & not willing to t provide any official documentation at this moment.AI answers were that there are no discount codes to apply at a checkout and were not able find any discount links, including from utube creators.As with any startup, any discount helps. Thank you in advance.

my company and i are interested in upgrading to enterprise and tried to get in contact with their online form to set up a meeting, but still haven’t gotten a reply back. is there another way to contact them? do they have a phone number i can call?

Hi everyone  I’m Adaugo.I work primarily with Airtable, helping teams streamline workflows using clean base design, automations, and tools like Softr, Make, and Zapier.I recently joined the community to learn from others, share what I know, and help troubleshoot real-world Airtable challenges. I’ve spent a lot of time building portals, document hubs, and automation-heavy setups, and I’m always interested in exchanging ideas or best practices.Looking forward to learning from you all and contributing where I can.

Hey all,I’ve hit a weird snag with one of my users and I’m not sure how to fix it. I have it set up where she has an interface and can create a new project with task templates that can be applied to it. There are a lot of different types of projects we do, so there’s around 6 different task templates.While setting this up and showing it to her (even in her view on the interface page), I was able to see and select all 6 templates. When she started sharing screen and showing me what was going on, 5 out of 6 of the templates said she was getting the message that she did not have the correct permissions to be able to apply them. I’m at a loss on how to fix this as she has editor permissions in the base and the interface, and I don’t remember setting permission levels for those templates in any way. So, any suggestions on what to do with this?Thank you!!

Hello Airtable Community,I am currently exploring ways to enhance our workflow by integrating Airtable with Microsoft Copilot. My goal is to be able to ask questions related to our Airtable data directly within Microsoft Copilot, which already has access to our other business files like emails and documents.Use Case: We use Airtable extensively for managing various aspects of our business. Having the ability to query Airtable data directly in Microsoft Copilot would streamline our processes significantly. For example, I would like to be able to ask questions such as "What are the latest updates on table x".Questions:Has anyone successfully integrated Airtable with Microsoft Copilot for similar use cases?What are the best practices or tools (e.g., APIs, automation platforms) to achieve this integration?Are there any specific challenges or limitations I should be aware of when setting up this integration?I would greatly appreciate any insights, experiences, or recommendations from t

We use Airtable heavily with parent --> child relationships and are trying to standardize our workflows using record templates, especially within Interfaces while reducing the amount of automations used in this aspect of our workflow.What we’re trying to do (high level)We want to generate groups of task records (child records) and link them to a parent record that already exists. We only ever work in interfaces so it must have a way to function for our users there.Using record templates or a native grouping feature Without relying on automations Without creating a new parent recordCurrent setupWe have many tables that act as a parent record and then one table that is the child record (tasks). Most of them have a pre- and post- step of creation, some with 3 steps where specific tasks are generated at each phase (e.g. Interest, Application, and Decision). Below is an example of 2 steps (pre-award and post-award). Pre-award tasks (works well) Parent record is created via an Interface f

I’m curious about external Airtable documentation. How do you document the setup of your Airtable bases?My team uses a couple of bases and we’re exploring how best to document them. We use Notion for other purposes, including knowledge management. We’re working on user guides for how staff use the bases, but my question for this group is more about the technical documentation.I started playing around with the idea of documenting each table and their fields in Notion databases. That quickly started to feel like we’d sort of just be recreating the base structure in a way that is very difficult to keep up with. We feel the need to have external documentation (to include documenting integrated forms in Fillout, some automations in Make, etc.), but haven’t yet landed on the right format and scale. Would greatly appreciate hearing what anyone else does.

Hello everyone,I am new to Airtable and would really appreciate some guidance from the community.I run a luggage storage startup in India, and we use Airtable to manage our customer bookings. Each booking record includes: Booking reference number Customer details (linked / lookup field) Payment method (Stripe or PayPal) Payment status (Yes / No) Booking status (calculated using a formula) Booking created date Start date & time of the booking End date & time of the booking When the payment status is “Yes”, the booking status changes to “Confirmed.”When the customer arrives and starts using our service, the status changes to “Renting.”As our number of bookings has grown, I am struggling to create one single view that shows: All confirmed bookings that will start within the next 7 days (including today) All currently renting bookings that are active now and/or ending within the next 7 days The goal is to give our agents a quick operational overview, so they don’t h

I hope this finds you well. I recently upgraded my plans AI credits to accommodate some initial needs around adding data to my base. I will not need that amount of AI credits next month.That said, here are couple questions:What date will I be charged for my team plan? I cannot find this information in my workspace settings. If I downgrade my plans AI credits will I lose the AI credits I've already paid for? FYI - Would Airtable consider adopting a BYOK model? Or possibly separate AI credit purchases from the plan itself. Gemini suggested that Airtable is charging a 5000% markup on AI credits when compared to standard API usage pricing. Does that sound accurate to you?Humbly and respectfully,

Hi everyone!I entrusted Airtable as part of my career (business plan) and now, I’ve encountered a significant issue at my workplace.My customers are salesmen and they utilize quick ‘CTRL+F’ buttons to find our products on our Airtable. If they don’t, they go to another vendor and we lose that sale.1,000 record view  limit banner with button on right I understand they can press ‘Load all records’, but unfortunately not all of my customers are fluent with computers and/or want to deal with pressing ‘Load all records’ all the time, so we’d just lose the sale entirely.I notice this pops up ONLY when I am logged in. HOWEVER, when not logged in and/or viewing via a link... the banner is not there and all inventory shows as normal. Unfortunately, as a good Airtable patron that I am, I made our customers sign up and now they can’t see the inventory we sell. CTRL+F limit I’ve consulted Google Gemini to no avail, and I’d like to say we’re losing a significant proportion of our sales.

Is it possible to utilise a tracking pixel to allow a third party to track the progression of a record through a series of statuses within Airtable?

After someone submits my form, I want it to go directly to my designated redirect page. Instead, I’m getting this screen:How can I get rid of this screen so it goes directly to the page I set as the redirect? I have a lot of people filling out forms who are… let’s just say this is too much opportunity for them to click the wrong button or get confused. I need this screen to go away.
