If I create a View Share link in Airtable and email it to someone so that they can see my view, will that person be prompted to first create an Airtable account? Or can they just view the link (as I had intended...) by clicking on it? 

Hi there! This is a very newbie question, but is there a formula for cutting numbers out of a string? For example, if I have the value 01 Lorem ipsum and I want it to read Lorem ipsum what formula would I use?

It's a bit of a silly question, but I am a little alarmed that I have used up 39,000 automation runs out of the 50,000 available for my workspace ( I am on the pro plan ). Just wondering if it renews monthly, and how can I add more if I need to?My business is expanding and the amount of automations might reach the limits eventually, there should be a way to add more runs separately hopefully? 

Hi!, which billing do I need in order for this feature to run?Thank you

HiI would like to know the pros and cons of using Airtable scripting extension to save emails  sent to either a domain specific mail id (like "someuser@exampledomain.com" ) or to a gmail account. I think there are some extensions in market place which does this job but it has recurring cost. For instance if we plan to use gmail account as the mail receiver then I think gmail API can be used to create a custom scripting solution to store emails (along with attachments) into Airtable base. I think the same approach works with other domains as well as long as they share an API to read e-mails. Please share feedback on this approachThanksHenry

Hey AllI have a business producing about 10 000 records a month, that's going to double in a few months. Will it be feasible to create a new base each month and move the previous months data to a "backup" base?Thanks in advance!

Hello,I'm seeing conflicting info floating around and nothing within my account settings that indicates when my automation limit/usage resets.And I hear 50 total unique automations triggers per Base is the limit, but there is a way to purchase/add more to our account?Reset Usage:My billing cycle appears to be on the 22nd and we are currently at 37,000/50,000 which seems unusually high in just a week, so it makes sense that it is the 1st of the month.We are on the PRO planI've seen info saying it resets on the 1st and some on your billing date.Can someone help?I have a 40,000 run I need to do on my data base and am worried about using them all up today (13,000) and then being out of automations until my next billing cycle of 22nd.  That would be a problem, esp since we can't purchase more.Total Unique Automation TriggersI've hit my limit of 50 several timesHad to combine some, make them more efficientDelete someI read there is a way to purchase additional automations.  Anyone

hello, I'm trying to make a table where employees upload two dates through a form, when they go on vacation and when they return.So far so good, I was able to make a formula that counts the weekdays and these are subtracted from the number of available vacation days (vacations days left) . What I do not know is how to accumulate the days taken in the event if this person fills out the form againMaybe there is a simpler solution to this problem.Thank you

Hello,I'm trying to find a way to be able to export a view in a .txt file based on a template.Example view:Template would be like:Hello {Name} {Lastname}, you are a {Age} {Gender}So the .txt file would look like:Hello Martin Shelvi, you are a 22 MaleHello Lara Croft, you are a 29 Female

Hi,I'm trying to validate customer's mails, to send them automated mails.I created a column validating another Email column in my relevant table, but the formula shows me that the mail doesn't match the regex, even though I know it's a working mail.the formula is: IF((REGEX_MATCH({Email}, "[A-z0-9.+-_]+@[A-z0-9-]+\\.[A-z]+/g")),"Yes","No") I've basically took it from here:https://support.airtable.com/docs/guide-to-regex-functions  the example is this:besor23@gmail.com Can someone please assist?

Hi,I'm struggling a bit with a slack automation. the idea: we have a list where all new customer appointments go in. Every day at a certain time the automation pushes the total number of appointments into a slack message. Now we have customers that make more than one appointment and we would like to also understand the number of customers. It would need something like: length of records unique but I cannot find anything like this.thanks a lot for your support!

My first community post...In a table Results I have a structure like this:Category field selects from another tableProcess field also selects from another tablePressures field selects from a third tableEach row of Results has a unique combination of Category - Process - Pressures for which it provides numeric data (analysis results) in subsequent fields. How can I create a lookup with both Category and Process to  identify the Pressures and numeric results? Another catch is that Process is also dependent on Category, as not all Processes are available to all Categories.So ideally the user would choose a Category and then see available Processes. After selecting a Process, they get a report of all the Pressures with the numeric data in a report.Possible in Airtable?

i’m creating a database where one of the tables is “people.” currently i have it set up so that the primary field concatenates the person’s first and last names to become a full name field. i also have this linked to another table in the base so that people in the table can register for events by finding their record in the people table to associate with their registration. however, it just occurred to me that i haven’t accounted for the fact that people in our database might have the same name, which would make the primary field not unique. i don’t really want to add their record ID to the primary field formula, which is the easiest solution i can think of, because then people would see that when they register for an event & find themselves in the list. i suppose i could create a more complicated way to handle RSVPs where it comes into another table & then matches with existing people somehow (i know this is possible, but haven’t learned how to do it yet). is there an easier w

Hi all, I figured out an easy workaround, but trying to understand why this is happening.I have three table that matter to this scenario - Employee, Certificate, and EmployeeCertificate (junction table)The Certificate table has a number field {Period of Validity} that records the period of validity of each certificate in months.The EmployeeCertificate table has the following fields:What is happening is that I have a lookup field in my EmployeeCertificate that looks up a number field in my Certificate table. The field it looks up is calledEmployeeCertificate is a junction table. It has one linked record field to my Employee table and another to the Certificate Employee (Linked Record)Certificate (Linked Record)Date of Certification (Date)Period of Validity (Lookup from Certificate table)Expiration Date (formula)The Expiration Date formula is DATEADD({Date of Certification}, {Period of Validity}, 'M')No matter the number in {Period of Validity}, that formula returns the same date as

SituationI've got a base (with 2 script extensions) which I share publicly and with all sharing options (copy data & extensions) enabled. The base is also not over it's extension limit in the workspace.ProblemWhen another user accesses this shared link and copy it to his/her workspace, the 2 scripts are there but their code is overwritten/removed with the default 'hello world' script.I do see for example this shared (vlookup example) base  where the scripts are working when you copy that base.Do you have an idea why it does not work for me?Do I need this deprecated beta to share extensions?Thanks in advance!   

Hi there,I'm not a developer but I'm exploring and using various scripting options, but can't seem to mitigate the crash I encounter when to use the script below. Can someone help with this? Thanks in advance!The feature I want to build is a bigger one: it's a vlookup feature with auto categorization based on the intermediate table [personal categorization] - so a script to conditionally link a record.But this is a simplified version without that auto vlookup to focus first on the crash when trying to link a record:Here I choose one record from table [personal expenses] and one from the table [personal categorization].The field [Type] in table [personal categorization] is a linked field with a link to a record in a 3rd table [personal budget].What I want to do in the end, is that the chosen record in [personal expenses] is linked to the record in [personal budget] via the field [tmpLookUpLinks], and that value should be retrieved from the field [Type] in the [personal categorization] t

Hello,I am experimenting with Airtable and Make, but I have a table with a Primary key which is a Formula field.I am trying to create a record in Airtable with this primary key as a formula, but the primary key is populated with NaN value.Isn't supposed Airtable to create this primary key even when I create a new record via Make?edit: I added some screenshot to show that inserting a new record via Airtable API is NOT updating the formula primary key------My second problem is that Upsert from Make in Airtable is not working, it constantly replies with "NOT FOUND", but Upsert is supposed to create the record if not found.Thank youCamillo

We are evaluating Airtable for use as a flexible project management system. A significant part of our workflows concern the intake, organization and review of PDF documents (e.g, correspondence, memos, progress reports, etc.).We have a firm grasp on how Airtable can help us with respect to the intake and organization workflows for PDFs as attachments. However, we are struggling with using Airtable to efficiently review PDFs, which is largely a product of our inability to display full resolution (or near full resolution) views of PDFs.The "record review" interface layout would be nearly perfect for our PDF review workflow if we could immediately display a full resolution view of PDF attachments when the record review interface is first opened without the need to click on the attachment, wait for it to open, and only then be presented with the full resolution view of the PDF.Based upon my search of this forum, it appears several people have requested the ability to incorporate full

Hi,I’m using Airtable for our fundraising Auction database to store items to then upload to our Auction website. We have our items in Airtable and then different image fields for the donation. We have 10 image fields. Each field has its own image. Those images are named by the product ID we assign them.Anyway, the issue I’m wondering about is when I download the CSV of items to then upload to our Auction website, some of the image fields have the image file name which is great, and then a lot of them have the image file name AND then a link to the image in parentheses as well. I’d like it to just have the name of the file without the parentheses and the link, nothing else. Is that possible?Here is an example of an item with two images: Argus BarGrilleArgus BarGrille $30 Gift Certificatechecked33363336a.jpg (https://v5.airtableusercontent.com/v1/17/17/1685080800000/e3lVoj8FvtRxx8BWOwj2BA/ilaexjilCZ2adMCU99U5nZUNWU_s6USfdE48s528CIWonEMKILjcGtyFCBQOdTGdjKWR88WeiIaste66H5TicItFRblGL9O

Scenario: I have a base with a table in it.  This base has the grid view, kaban view, and a form view.  The form view allows for the creation of new records.  When using the Kaban view from within the Data section, it seems very useful in my overall goal in creating a ticketing system.What I am trying to figure out is when creating an interface for these records using Kaban as the element, is there a way to allow for adding 'seeing and adding collaborator's comments' from w/in the Interface?  I can see these comments fine in the 'Data>Table>Kaban View' but don't know how to see these comments, let alone add new ones via the Kaban view in my interface.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to find records whose ID field match a given value, playlistId, in a specific table I defined as playlistsRecords. In other words, I want to find matches in a field, get their record IDs, and if there are no matches to tell me that there are no matches. I've tried "playlistsRecords.includes(playlistId)" without success and suspect I need to rely something like the following: base('Playlists').find(playlistId, function(err, record) { if (err) { console.error(err); return; } console.log('Retrieved', record.id); }); Any pointers? Past experience? 

Simple and easy question, I plan on using airtable with a group of 25 for a project. Is it possible that I can allow all of them to edit on the free plan?

My brain is broken (or my formula is)… We have 4 departments (Production, Creative, Marketing, BD). When a prospective client is in our radar we run their product through a review process to get a sense from a variety of perspectives, the quality of their work. We submit the materials into an interface and the head of each department assigns a member from their team to the review. Once all 4 heads of assigned and marked their department ‘ready’ an automation kicks in and sends out an email… Sometimes there is 1 person assigned from each department… sometimes there are 2 or more… So my sheet has (for each department) 1 field for the user assignment 1 field that looks up the emails (and formats it in the manner expected “graham@email.com, joe@email.com” finally though, I have a formula feild that attempts to combine all those emails into one string of comma separated emails to that it can be inserted into the to: field of my outbound, automated email. Problem is… that doesnt work… When
