Hi community,I can't tell if I made a mistake or if something changed on Airtable's side.Regarding direct URLs to records in shared views (which we communicate in our newsletter):yesterday this link was working:https://airtable.com/shrWJrPQd2lifr4L3/tblJhdIMn9FcFICXU/viwTjYmLJJpWjS63I/recZEI7ZRdrSRMpkP?date=2023-09-28&mode=undefinedThis morning, not anymore. It says "The private share link you tried to reach is not available."The link to the same record that works today is: https://airtable.com/app1HxCoK9bV1SDUV/shrWJrPQd2lifr4L3/tblJhdIMn9FcFICXU/viwTjYmLJJpWjS63I/recZEI7ZRdrSRMpkP?date=2023-09-23&mode=undefinedDifference is the base ID "appXXXXXX" that wasn't needed yesterday apparently?Anyway, yesterday's link is out in the world now, but doesn't work.Anything I can do?I found this article related to the issue, but dates back dec 2021.Thanks for any light you might shed on the topic.

hi team, the view controls for my embedded view are a bit whacky -  they are clearly turned off, but whenever I click on the 'view larger version' option the controls are now visible again! what's even weirder is that they appear to be hidden if I click from the mobile preview, but not from the desktop preview? see here - https://www.loom.com/share/08594b208e48452bb69e05765e134593here is the toggle showing controls off here are the controls from the 'view larger' desktop preview and this is from the mobile preview!

Hi there, friends. I've been using Airtable for a while, but in and out as I've only needed it for a few projects at a time. I've planned to use it now to showcase a series of upcoming events on my website. It's essentially a mini-CMS. This seems like a perfectly obvious and convenient use case. My problem is that when the "event" items are displayed in the view on the website, the interface pops up and annoys the viewer with a disruptive message that says "you're not logged in." (Screenshot below)Well, why should they be? It's a public embed on a public website. What am I missing here? I realize that on my free plan, there's some risk that my viewers can modify my cards because I can't lock them. In this case with this audience, that's not a serious risk.I am being a skinflint here as I build out a site and eventually form a non-profit.  If the only solution here right now for this is to pay the team rate, I'll just have to go find another solution. I think I'd jus

Hello everyone,I’m building an app called Weter that automatically creates infographics using AI based on table data. My goal is to add Airtable integration soon. Here’s a quick demo of how the AI feature works now: WeterApp Demo on Vimeo.  The app can be used to create presentations, social media posts, and blog articles.I'd like to ask for your feedback to make the app as useful as possible. Some of the ideas I have on my roadmap:More widget types (charts, data bars, etc.)More visual options (colors, fonts, backgrounds)Different layoutsAdditional export formatsMy questions:What types of widgets would you like to see added?Are there any specific visual elements you're looking for?What additional export formats would be most useful to you?A toy version of the app is available here: http://weterapp.com.Please share your thoughts, suggestions, and any questions you may have. Your input will be invaluable for the development of this tool. Thank you!

I use proprietary software in my line of work that allows me to export client data into a CSV file. One of the fields in this CSV file is called Household ID. Let’s call this CSV file “Household Assets”. In airtable, I already have a table called “Households” with has the exact same Household ID field and number for each household. Is there any way to import the CSV into its own table in airtable and automatically link both tables given they already have a common field, Household ID? This would be useful as I could simply import once per month all my household asset updates and somehow track the trend and progress of my client assets. Any ideas how I might be able to accomplish this? It would be great if I could even somehow automate this process too.

I have two tabs. One table with a list of weekly events and a second that collects those into weeks. I'd like to quickly reference a range (let's say 10 rows from the weekly list) into the 2nd table on a weekly cell.Currently, I do this very slowly. I type in the row number. Airtable shows a preview and I click that record to add the row.What I'd like to do i just type rows 12-22 and hit return. I just don't know if that's possible or what the syntax might be to make that happen.

I love the way airtable universe pages look. How can I publish or create pages for my database like that to share with others? Databases that wouldn’t be helpful for the universe community.

I am not sure what is the best approach to this. I have a single Network chipset card with 40G speed total.With this controller:We have 2x SFP  which are 10G each and it has a unique Device IDWe also have 2x RJ45 which are 10G each and it has also its own Device IDFor clarity purposes, this is how I use to track it (items marked in red are unique) it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K7YCYDiabyWvc_EJ9XSEnqFzSunNUOWE/view?usp=sharing I have tried to do the same in Airtable, but I can ONLY select x710-TM4, Carlsville 1 time. It seems it filters this out by default from the list. I have the option to select other chipsets from the list, but cannot select the same one.What is the best way to approach this? I need to be able to tell that the card with this chipset has 2x SFP+ port and DID for it is 104E. Also it has 2x RJ45 and the DID for that is 15FF

Does anyone think it is possible to use Airtable to manage ads for a website?I am running a small niche website that I would like to sell ad space for. As such, Google Adsense will not work for me because my website is not big enough, and it also runs under a subdomain.Therefore, I figured I could use an "image carousel" for the ads.But how would I display these ads from Airtable? Is it possible to automate? For example, if you paid for the ad, it will automatically appear in the ad space. If you have not paid, it will be taken down.I figure people could fill out a form with their ad and add it to an airtable database and if it's paid/approved it can appear on the website. Just trying to brainstorm, thanks!
