Here’s what I have:Meetings table with Meeting Status single-select field.Tasks table with Task Status single-select field.What I want to do:When Task contains (blah)and when Task Status is Completed.ThenUpdate Meeting Status to Completed in Meetings table.I did this exact same thing a while ago with the same tasks table and an exam table, and it works perfectly. Here’s a screenshot: But when I set it up exactly like this one, it doesn’t work? I’ve even duplicated the automation that does work, only changed the action’s table and field, and it still doesn’t work.How am I doing it differently from the first? How do I make it work? It needs to only work on the single meeting that is connected to this task (there is not more than one).

I want to make sure I'm not missing something. I have an automation that copies some data columns from one table to another, when a button is clicked on an interface. It does this for batches of data, and I have a checkbox to mark when the automation reviewed a record.This is easy to setup using the Repeating group feature.However, I also now want it to check for duplicates. Rather than creating a new People record, I also want to check if that person exists.This would require using the Conditional Logic tool in automations. However, I can't seem to use both Conditional Logic and Repeating Group. I'd like to 'Repeat' through every record, then use a Conditional Logic by finding if a match exists.I'm guessing my only option would be to script this using Javascript in the automation. Is that correct or am I missing something? 

I have an automation that runs everyday, looks for records with certain conditions and if they exist, adds them as a grid to an email that is sent out. The problem is, if there aren’t any records that day, I get an error because it still tries to send the email. Conditional logic(else do nothing) to prevent an email from being sent if there were no records would make sense to use here. I don’t see those options coming up when I try to add actions. Am I missing something or is this a bug? I’m not looking for an script alternative. If there a way to do this using the block logic I’d like to know.

I'm trying to create an automation that when a form is submitted to one table (Touch Points) then it also updates another record in a different table (Global Worker) I’ve got the RECORD ID formula showing in Global Worker table, and am Linking the automation to it.However I’m getting the Received Invalid Inputs. Not sure what I’m doing wrong here. ​​​​​​ 

spreadsheets Hi, I’m trying to recreate the structure of the attached spreadsheet in Airtable, but I'm running into trouble because each checklist item needs a different field type. I'm a PM, and I'm building a checklist that I want to go through once per project. Each checklist item requires a different field type. After discussing with ChatGPT, I was told that if there are 10 field types, I should create 10 separate fields and input each item only into its corresponding field type. But this checklist isn't just for me — about 20 team members will need to fill it out frequently. If it's structured this way, it becomes very inconvenient for everyone to use. What would be the best way to structure this kind of checklist in Airtable?

Two similar linked records link the BOOKINGS/LICENCES and the COSTS tables with the REPORTS table. I create a new record on the junction REPORT table (primary field = ReportID), and I manually choose to bring which licenses from the BOOKINGS/LICENCES table and which costs from the COSTS table will be included in this particular report from linked record on each tables.  Then I created a linked record both on the BOOKINGS/LICENCES table and on the COSTS tables that automatically pulls into those tables the reportID number (primary field) and an associated lookup field, so I can know directly from the BOOKINGS/LICENCES table, in which report a particular license is included. Same from the COSTS table.  I replicated the same logic and created the same relations through linked records on both tables. It works perfectly on the COSTS table. For a reason I cannot understand and after several attempts it simply does not work on the BOOKINGS/TABLE . Neither the information about the record numb

I have a name field that sometimes has one name and sometimes has two. If there are two names, they are seperated by a comma.What is a formula I can use to show only the first names, with an ‘and’ in the middle if there are two.John Doe                                    JohnJohn Doe, Josh Frank             John and Josh

As the title states, I need to know how to make comments made on an image viewable in a shared view. I don’t need the ability for people to comment, I just need the comments that I made visible to them! Seems silly that I can share all the other information on an airtable, but I can’t easily share comments that break down what an image shows to more clearly convey the information being shared...

I wanted to find out from the Airtable Community - is anyone using Airtable to send *Scheduled* emails? If so, then I’d like to know how you do it, and how timely the emails are. Over the last couple of years, I remember hearing on these forums that Airtable doesn’t update very regularly… and that if I say send it at 5:00pm Airtable might send it at 4:45pm or 5:15pm, or even a day late. Is that still the case, or can I send scheduled emails that are sent at the correct time yet?  To be clear, for my use case, it doesn’t have to be exactly on the minute for me. I am at a nonprofit that’s just trying to simplify our systems to have a lower technical learning curve. It’s up to 150 emails a week for appointments. I want to simplify these workflows so I don’t have to use Make or Zapier to send *Scheduled* emails.  I would be glad to use Airtable AI (Omni or Field Agents) to do this as well, but first I wanted to check with the community to see about Scheduling specifically. TIA! ML 

Hey experts, I’m a beginner of Airtable and I’m setting up the bases & interfaces to present my team’s resource allocation plan.I have set up two bases: Task & Timeoff. And I have created an “Utilization Interface” as shown in the below screenshot.I’m wondering if there’s a way to show the timeoffs in this interface as well? If so, should I merge the two bases (task & timeline) together? Or if there’s any other best practices that I can keep these two bases separated but still show both the task and timeoff in the same utilization view?Thank  you so much for your guidance!!

My AirTable implementation deals with scheduling and staffing of courses for a university. We have a table for Professors, a table for Courses, and a table for Offerings which marries the two together with each record representing a single staffed course-section that students will ultimately be able to register for.Of note: currently our professors do not have AirTable access. Having them create accounts is currently not an option, unfortunately. Additionally, our plan does not include AirTable Portals.When we initially link professors to offerings, we need to send emails to have the professor accept or decline the position. We currently intend to do this via a Fillout form that will allow them to edit a single select field with accept/decline as the options (the “Accepted?” field below). Our issue is with the fact that professors teach several offerings every term, so sending one email for every offering would be cumbersome. Instead, we want to find a way to send a single email to eac

I like to know what others are doing to have better organization of managing their users against workspaces, bases, and interfaces, specifically within their organization. I have built a number of apps amongst different departments. We have not decided to turn on enterprise hub yet for our enterprise account but we do have SSO. However, I think using groups would be useful as a growing community of users is developing. I’m a little clunky with using groups and will need to a lot of clean up. Structurally this is how I’m laying it out:Workspace per department Product owners of the Base have creator access only at the Base NOT at the Workspace level (Reasons - within the department could have multiple products not meant for other team members thus at the Workspace level gives too much control) Groups - Product owners are Group ManagersMy logic in what I’m thinking to do:At the Base level manage access for creators only Instead of inviting people directly to the base or interface per a pe

I’m very new to Airtable, here’s what I’m trying to achieve. I have a table named Inventory: Name, Category, Price.A table named Project: Address, inspection date, images, Reno Estimate. Ideal process: From the Project I want to select items (30-50 items) (ideally a multiplier field. eg: 1x, 2x etc) from the Inventory list. (Or even just a checkbox) So for the Project I’ve selected what Inventory items I’ll need and the total of their cost.Hope that makes sense.

 Good day.  I’m looking to add or rather hard code the time 6:00am as shown int the automation field below: How might I go about doing this?  Currently it brings in the date, but it changes a bit.  For example it’s specified as 7/21/2025, however what it changes it to is 7/20/2025 5:00pm  Here’s the automation:Would there be some way to “tack” on the hard coded time 6am or would I have to create yet another field to do that?  Eventually this will be used in a Workato Recipe, and they’re more buggy. Thanks!

Hello,We are using the “Phone SlackID” field in Airtable and passing its value into the body of a message using the “Slack Send a message” action in an Automation to send mentions.In the “Phone SlackID” field, we’ve set each user’s display name in the format @last.first, and it has been working correctly for almost all users.However, after one staff member changed their display name, they no longer receive mentions. Specifically, @last.first now appears as plain text.Could you please advise us on how to resolve this issue?

I have a date time difference formula formatted to decimal with 2 places but not returning any values less that one. My formula is as follows: DATETIME_DIFF({End Time},{Start Time},'hours')What am I missing? If I recall correctly this should be able to return hours less than 1 (e.g. 0.5 for half an hour difference)

Here’s the problem in a short loom. Maybe I need to have the event table with the name of the event as the primary field: 

Hi! Do you know if it’s possible to add the text generated for an AI field to an email automation? Everything seems fine in the other fields but not in the AI generarted. I tried copying it with a formula but it is not working.   

AirTable is not allowing me to upload my CSV file. I click on the + sign, select “CSV file” under “Add from other sources”. I drag in my CSV file under the “Local Files” section and click “Upload 1 file”. It seems to work, I select “Create a new table” under the “Import your file” dropdown. It shows me a beautifully created base with all the column's I’d like.  However when I click “Import” I get an error sign saying “Can’t import CSV file” with the statement “Invalid data” underneath. Does anyone know what might be going on / how I can fix this. The only option airtable gives me is to click a button saying “Okay” and I’m back to the start. 

They are in the same base.

Is there a way to export the structure of a table to csv, JSON, etc.? Specifically, I’m looking for a way to export information about a table, not the data itself. Some method that will give me an output like field 2 is long text, field 3 is lookup, field 4 is date, field 5 is single select, etc.

Anybody has tips on how to do that? I have a long text field (cca. 1000-2000 characters including spaces). Beside that another field showing keywords, usually not more than 10-15 keywords. These keywords are typed in through Google API and edited by me manually. These can be keywords (or better say key phrases) are separated by comma. These are the words (phrases) I want to make sure I have them in my long text field in sufficient number of times. I am looking for a way to calculate the keyword density, that is how often do the keywords (the words in the keyword field) appear in the long text field. I do not need to see individual count, sufficient is to have summary count - number of times any keyword appears in the long text. The density count will give me a percentage = number of total keywords(phrases) / total words in the long text I looked at this suggestion here but it seems to me Airtable database would explode if I start generating a tag (which seems to me is essentially a

I have an email automation set up so that when an attachment is added to a field, an email is triggered to a project manager with a copy of that attachment.Currently, we delete the old attachments before dropping a new one in so you do not receive multiple attachments with the email that gets triggered.Now with the new Versions feature, I want to keep the old attachments in the field but only have the latest attachment added to the email. Is there any way to limit the attachment field in the email automation to only the latest one that was added?
