If you pay for a Team Plan for your Workspace and another person adds you as a Collaborator to a Base they own (and they also pay for a Team Plan), are they charged for you as a Billable Collaborator too?

Hello Airtable community,I hope this message finds you well. I am currently experiencing an issue with creating a Vega-Lite visualization in Airtable, and I'm seeking guidance from the community.Problem Description: I am attempting to create a simple pie chart using Vega-Lite within Airtable. The goal is to visualize two categories, "With Tape" and "Without Tape," based on a "product_title" field.Vega-Lite Code: Screenshot attached. Issue: Despite trying various configurations, the visualization is not rendering. I have attempted simplifying the code, but no luck so far.Question: Is there anything specific to consider when using Vega-Lite within Airtable? Any guidance or insights into what might be causing the issue would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hey All, I built an Airtable base for a consulting client and their flow relies heavily on being able to print information from Airtable. I set them up with 6 separate Page Designer extensions for them to do so. They're having a consistent problem when trying to print a custom size paper.- it jams in the printer every single time. They've tried it on multiple printers and had their printer tech review as well. They're not having any issues printing when the page is a typical 8x11in size. The size dimensions for the custom page is 545x545 px and I've set the printing size also to 545x545px. When they try to print this page as an 8x11 it does print and there's no issue except that the content is only at the top of the page and they already have custom size printer paper they want to print on (not print and cut each page). Can anyone see why this may be happening? I've run out of all printing thoughts and they're a remote team, so I can't

Hey all, I'm looking at creating an order for that take information for our tables for internal orders. I've attached  a picture of what we are trying to create. Any help would be great. I'm stuck on adding additional line that can pull all the details; it seems to just pull the item detail 

Who knows how to achieve this? If you have two tables that are linked together where each record can be linked to multiple records in the other table...My question and goal is... How can I quickly see one table in a way that shows each/one record with the sub.linked records one per line below it? When all the linked records are just in one field bunched up, it's hard to see all of them clearly. Also, my text is 'long test' and I'd like to be able to see it all. How do I get to see this...? Table 1 parent record #1- table 2 linked record 1 (linked under parent table 1 record #1)

When I’m adding records, and I need to add a record in a related table, I have the option to do so through the gallery view but not in the form view. I would like to have that option in the form view as well. How?

Hi,I believe it's been asked many times but I'd like to see if there's any update.I'm trying to count how many records I have within a day and add the sum number to automation emails.So the recipients can have the sum numbers from their emails every day. I've figured out some ways to do so:1) Summary barHowever, I can only have the sum in the summary bar, which can't be added to the automation emails. 2)Count fieldBut can only be applied to linked records. It can be done by linking the records to a new table, but that leads to 2 problems:1. requires linking the records manually2. requires creating new records in the new table manually every dayI need to make them fully automated.I wonder if there's a way to count all the records and put them into email automation, thank you. 

I duplicate my base, but find that my custom extensions are not in new base. How can I duplicate base with custom extension? Much appreciated

Hi all,I work for a marketing organization and we use airtable frequently. We have different bases for each job (graphic design, writing content, digital marketing content, and website content). We would like to find a way to move tasks/projects from base to base. (Ex. creating a postcard. Starts in Writing Content base and then move it to Graphic Design base once writing has been completed). Is there a way to move tasks from base to base, as well as notifying the correct person once it has moved? We would like to make things more efficient instead of sending emails to the appropriate person, letting them know that one part of the project has finished and they can start working on their part of the project.

I’m having trouble writing a script that creates new records (representing jobs) based on the following parameters: start of date range end of date range days(s) included That is, if Mondays are included, create a job on each monday within date range. I use a function to add jobs onto a stack, and call the function for each day of the week as required. My stack is defined outside the function as: Let newJobs = ; The new records created included a date field. That’s the problem. I can see my function looping through the dates correctly, and even pushing them onto the stack. But when everything is finish, every job on my stack has the final loop date. The same date. It was updated even after being added to the stack! Function is: function addJobs(opp,start, end, offset) { let jobDate = new Date; if (offset >= start.getDay()) { le

My plan was downgraded since my team member has added one extra-collaborator and missed some invoices since it was overlimit and supposed to be billable.Before we were on annually paid team plan.We deleted an overlimit collaborators and want to get our team plan back. Any suggestions how it can be done?We have already reached a support via mail but I am just curious if it could be done any other way.

Hey there! I’m syncing some records from Base 1 to Base 2, and that’s working just fine. In Base 2 I need to be able to add additional records alongside the synced ones. I set up an automaiton to copy these new records over to another Table in Base 2, which works perfectly. I was then trying to use an Update Record automation to copy changes, which tests fine but fails in practice with an error. Is that possible, or is there a better way to accomplish this? I was using Find Records with a condition of my manual unique ID (not the Airtable Record ID), which it seems to do, and then try to apply the updates to the Record ID from that step (Step 2). It all says it’s good, and can even update it from “Run As Configured” - but it fails when I test it by updating Base 1 and syncing Base 2. Updates fine in the sync but fails to update the record in that second Table. Thanks!.

Hello,Your help will be appreciated with the following issue:I have created a form and shared it via a link ("Share form" button in a form view). I need to fix typos in the form description. When I change the content of the form (in the form view), the webpage displayed via the shared link does not change accordingly. Same for the page displayed via the "Open form" button (actually this is the same URL as the shared link). I am under impression that it should.I recall that several weeks ago Airtable seemed to be working differently, i.e. the changes made in the form view were propagated in real time to the webpage reachable via the shared link (and via the "Open form" button).I do not believe this is a problem with my local browser cache, because others who open the form page on their computers for the first time ever, still see the outdated form (while their browsers did not have a chance to cache anything yet).Am I missing something, or am I

Hopefully I’m posting this in the correct section. If not, please direct me to the correct one. I was going to post in the API section, but this seemed like a “broader” section to start with. I have setup AirTable to support a gaming group of which I’m the admin. The multiplayer game does not have any admin tools leaving us to develop our own solutions. Having done table design and DW/BI work in the past, I was able to build the table structure and views without any difficulty; once I learned how the table linking worked in Airtable. I’ve even been able to create and post the “forms” for users to input data and respond to events with their “bids”. The next logical step is to create the output I need. I’ve attempted to connect Excel to Airtable with little success. I can get the connection created, but I only get a single field of “Record” values. Total rows is correct, but I can’t see any of the fields. I’m familiar with ODBC, SQL, etc. but have no experience w

Hi. What is the best way to export AirTable data for use in Microsoft Word’s Mail Merge tool, and have it updated in Word after making changes in AirTable?

Hey guys, I’m fairly new to airtable, but i’ve read all the posts i could find on this topic, but still stuck. I have a list of clients and a list of vendors. some clients prefer only a subset of vendors - i define the preferred vendor relationship in my base design. I have a form that collects requests to engage a vendor for a quote. I want : Basic: Based on client selection to present only relevant vendors in the list. Advanced: I want to present relevant vendor based on vendor category in addition to the above what’s the best way to do this with the newly added functionality of logic on lookups / rollups etc? Thank you guys in advance!!!

Hello! How to link tables, but to include info in form of linked variants to choose from? Here is the deal. We sell cars. And need Airtable as a database to synch to our website. Our team members add cars to the database. The question is: How to make dropdowns in columns from linked tables, so they would “know” the previous column and provide an option to choose from a specific number of variants? Here is an example: We want to add a car. It has a lot variables, some of which are: “car maker”, “model” and “specification”. I would like to have a columns dedicated to each variable. But so if for example I choose “car maker” Mercedes-Benz, in the next “model” column I would get only Mercedes-Benz’s models, and after I choose, for example “S-class”, in the next column, “specifications” I would only be able to choose from that model’s specifications? How can I achieve that? Spent too much time trying to solve that problem

Hi! Mailed support and didnt get a reply. So Im trying here instead. I understand one can have a conditional dropdown that adds all the values from a linked table. But what if I want to select between the values? Lets say I have TABs called “Company” “Office” and “Employee”. Now I would want to add an Office to an employee - but only the offices linked to a specific company. How would one do that? Im guessing using IF statements - but would it work for string values? Regards, Vincent

Helllo, New to the Airtable platform. I am wondering if this is possible. I am developing a manufacturing schedule and in the schedule you have a Phase and multiple (different) steps in each phase. Ideally I would like a (2) drop-downs side by side and the second one becomes dependent on what you chose in the first. So if i Choose Phase 3 the second column would only show steps associated with Phase 3 not all the others. Thanks

Requires Linked SingleSelect/MultiSelect Dropdown, which can be restricted on the basis of any criteria. In particular I need Dropdowns, which offer a subset of choices based on the result of another dropdown/field. For example, I would like to have a drop-down “LAND”, which gets the data from a separate table (LAND, REGION). The table would then look like this: COUNTRY, REGION Switzerland, Aarau Switzerland, Bern Switzerland, Zurich Germany, Baden-Württemberg Germany, Lower Saxony Germany, Saarland France, Aquitaine France, Brittany France, Poitou-Charentes …, … A second dropdown “REGION” should then only show the regions matching the selected country. Then the second dropdown should only show “Aquitaine”, “Bretage” and “Poitou-Charentes” when I select “France” as the LAND. If I look up in the forums, this is probably a very popular wish for a long time. Is something like this available now and if so, how d

Hello Airtable Community.  I've reached my wits end and so has chatGPT 🙂  I am using the following scripting code in an Automation to extract some data from the record that triggered the automation and insert into an external API.  Most of it is working as expected until the very end of the first function where I keep getting   CONSOLE.ERROR "Error processing Airtable update:" "Unexpected end of JSON input"  I've tried lots of logs to understand the input and everything appears in order to me.  JSON is coming back fine in each of the "console.logs" indicated in the code here.  An example here:What could be causing this error?  Source code below:  // Function to escape HTML characters function escapeHtml(input) {

I am hoping someone can help answer this basic question.We have a survey where our athletes answer using a ranting system. I want to take the rating once in airtable and assign it a number value. 1 star = 1, 2 stars = 2, 3 stars = 3, 4 stars = 4, and 5 stars =5 so I can total.Is this an easy thing to do or do I need to get the data into a number before it hits airtable?

Has anyone succeeded in merging Airtable data with InDesign CC layouts/style-sheets? :nerd_face: We’d love to be able to leverage online datasets to populate nicely designed layouts for PDF export. This export will be done both locally, as final artwork files for professional print; and hopefully… automatically. We’d :sparkling_heart: LURV :sparkling_heart: to be able to generate PDFs, in the cloud, using real-deal layouts, that can then be relayed/ingested via other integrated services like Dropbox, Slack, email, etc. How would you build an Airtable-InDesign CC-Google Cloud Print-Slack/Email stack? THANX YALL! :dancer: A.

I have a form built. Today I was asked to add an option to a multi-select field and published it. I added the option and it is showing in all views and in the preview, but it is not showing on the public-facing version of the form. I am not sure what I am missing that is causing the option to show everywhere except the public-facing side.
