Hello,

Am wondering if there is any way to have a table in page designer be dynamic in size?  We would like to use page designer to generate invoices, but some clients have only a couple of lines while others have 15-20.  The biggest current issue are the large invoices that have too many rows to fit into a one-page table.  Right now, it just gets cut off. Is there a way to extend the table to a second page?

In an ideal world, my total price, etc. fields would be at the bottom of a table that only is as tall as the number of rows in it, whether it is 3 rows or 30.  

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Alex

Unfortunately, Page Designer is very limited so you can’t do what you want to do with it.

I would recommend taking a look at Documint or DocsAutomator, which were specifically designed for creating documents from Airtable.

Alternatively, you can use any document creation app that you would like (Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Formstack Documents, etc.) with Make’s advanced automations & integrations.

You can even use Make to send your Airtable data to an invoicing app like QuickBooks or Stripe or Xero. 

If you’ve never used Make before, I’ve assembled a bunch of Make training resources in this thread. For example, here is one of the ways that you could instantly trigger a Make automation from Airtable.

I also give live demonstrations of how to use Make in many of my Airtable podcast appearances. For example, in this video, I show how to work with Airtable arrays in Make.

Hope this helps!

C’mon AIRTABLE, this is ridiculous. We have to predetermine the table depth in Page Designer? That’s not even remotely useful. Please put in a little love to this extension to just fix the minor issue. No wholesale changes, but these fundamentals need to be fixed.


I feel the pain ​@boppa. You and ​@AlexW-DP might want to submit this as a feature request using the following form: https://community.airtable.com/p/product-ideas


Done.
