Hi All,I'm evaluating airtable for replacing other tools, and I would like to know if in your experience is possible to implement what is written in the following link with just airtable https://www.airtable.com/articles/product/business-requirements-documentIs there any template? My aim is to build a complete BRD directly on airtable in a collaborative way and without using any external tools. Any suggest? 

This feels like it should be so simple. I've got a form with roughly 30 questions on it, and I want to use Page Designer to create a PDF of each response that I can then email to respondents. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to get a simple grid in Page Designer that shows the responses. The only clue I can find is that if I add a Linked Records element to Page Designer I can choose Grid Mode, but I don't have any linked records in the table, it's just collecting the form responses as they come in. I know I must be missing something obvious.More details: we offer 4 different products and we're asking our partners how many containers/pallets of each product they will want in each month of the next fiscal year. i.e. In March 2024, partner A might want ten containers of product 1, five pallets of product 2, six pallets of product 3, and one container of product 4. I just want to show that in a simple grid in Page Designer - Month, p

Using Gmail for sending emails through automations, has anyone managed to insert a checker that then tells you if the email was opened, viewed, correctly received, etc.?

Hi all,I've had some questions from my (project managers in higher ed) team regarding the brand new Date Dependencies feature, which overall is a big help and a good replacement for my previous formula field workaround.When updating predecessor dates to complete earlier than originally expected, dependencies do not shift earlier. Is there a way to make dependent start dates sticky to the predecessor's end date? Our current workaround after updating the task's duration is to delete all task start and end dates and start again with task #1's start date. Similarly, when adding a new task in the middle of a timeline, we've found that adding the task duration and adding predecessor links does not trigger cascading dates unless that task's new end date overlaps with its dependent.We're also interested in support for dependent tasks starting on the parent task's end date rather than the day after -- it doesn't look like this i

Hello, fellow Airtable Fans! Has anyone figured out how to wrap text inside a day in Calendar view? I have long entries that must be viewed on a calendar. Thank you, kindly.

Hello Community,I have to change Workspace Collaborators in the Organization, to Base Collaborators. Anyone knows if by doing this it triggers any billable change? Will Airtable charge us again now that they are Base Collabs? Thanks!

Hi all,I have previously used an integration between JotForm and Airtable to populate Airtable with submissions from a JotForm form. The integration was working fine as of last night; however, this morning, I made an edit to the JotForm form and now Airtable is not populating with any new submissions. I tried creating a brand new form and reintegrating the two platforms with a brand new table to see if the issue was specifically with my previous form or table, but the new form submissions aren't showing up in the new table submissions, either.Any guidance here would be appreciated! Thank you 🙂

Hi. Is there a way to change the size of this element? It has resizing handles but I can’t get them to do anything. Thanks.

I have a base for many social accounts. I created a column in the base for emails. Records will have multiple email addresses (that I want to put inside the field for a record thats being created) for the main email providers - Google, Yahoo, Outlook, Webmail. Is there a way have many fields inside the cell labeled with the email providers (label1: Google label2: Yahoo, etc.) that I can input the email address for the record? The only way I see how to do this is to use the long text field type and just type everything in it. Please see snaapshot.

Suddenly our team can't upload photos to our forms. They only options like Drive, Dropbox, Local File but no photo options. Did something change suddenly??

I’m trying to create a SWITCH formula checking for specific text within a field. For instance, if there is a field with a bunch of random numbers and then a name, I want to check for the name in that field, not match the entirety of the text in the field.

When I don’t truncate fields in a grid in an Email Digest, the column widths are randomly set, often times wasting a ton of space: Everything auto-fits if I “Truncate text,” but I still want my last column to show all the information — any way to have the auto-fit of truncated but wrap text for rich text fields?

How can I ascertain how large (MB) my base is? Grazie!

i'm wanting to get employee data from Workday such as when a new hire happens, employee terms, or just an update to employee record. I'm using the HR workday connector from Workday and I believe that I configured the connector correctly, but i'm still getting a 500 error. Are there any suggestions to get my connection working?

We've recently published Airtable Sync Figma plugin and we're using it internally but it's surprising to see that there is no much interest from users.As designers and developers, working with real data in our mockups is essential to ensure accuracy and avoid unexpected issues during development. We expected that this plugin would provide great value to both Airtable and Figma community.We would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and use-case scenarios to better understand the demand for such functionality. Let's discuss and help us improve this plugin to better serve the needs of the Airtable community.

Hello, we duplicated one table from a base to a new base and a field that originally contained images got converted into a text field that contains the file name of the pictures and a URL. Is there a way to do duplicate the table without this happening? 

Hello,There's a user in my client's workspace who has already been invited as an interface collaborator with Editor permissions for some interfaces I created. The problem is, the user is not being able to create a record in one of those interfaces that already has the Editor permissions. When the user tries to create a record this message appears: "You are not permitted to perform this operation". Could you help me solve this problem please? The weird thing is, a few days ago the user was able to create records and didn't have this problem. I don't understand what happened because I didn't make changes to the user permissions.  I already made sure the user has Editor Permissions to that interface, and that table has the permissions that Editors and up can create records. 

Do you accept VISA (which is technically not a cc) or only Mastercard and other pure credit cards?

I can see that in the FREE plan, I can add up to 5 editors for free.But the TEAM plan does not allow me to add 5 editors for free, although this TEAM plan should include the features of the FREE plan.

Airtable has this really handy trick for instantly reformatting phone numbers into (###) ###-####.I need the same treatment for email addresses that are entered throughout the Airtable base to force them into lowercase. It's getting clunky to include reformatting language in automation.I'm not great at creating scripts. Is that the solution?

Hello,I am using airtable for a two step form process.The first table is called "Event Request". When you submit the Event Request Form it makes a record in that table and assigns it a "Request ID" number via an auto-number field. Once that form is approved, via some script and automation, the user receives a prefilled "Event Information Form" from an Event Information Table to add details.When the user submits the Event Information Form, I capture the Request ID from the initial request in the Event Information table too.What I would like to do is have a "Form Received" field in the Event Request Table that can say "yes" if there is a matching Request ID in both the Event Information and Event Requests table. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks! 

Hi guys, we’ve been using web builder Softr and integrated some Airtable databases which can be accessed via URL web browser. Softr offers the functionality that we can build up a pre-defined filtering with URL for our entries. (their example: https://ninfa906.softr.app/list?filter-by-Position=Engineer) We tried to set this up based on our Airtable database data but failed (already tried a lot of other structures, case sensitive etc.). They recommend this structure: ?filter-by-fieldName=fieldValue In our case this would mean (main URL is: KidsCircle-Kurse & Workshops): https://www.kidscircle.io/kurse/list?filter-by-Coach=BRUNO (fieldName is Coach,

When I embed an Airtable grid into Squarespace and peek at the mobile view, it doesn't display the card layout as it should. It displays a sliver of the standard desktop grid layout. Is this a Squarespace-only anomaly? Any workarounds>
