I have a base that has a table for tags, a table with a list of clients, and a table with images in the images table I have images, a lookup field for the tags from the tags table, and then a lookup field for client client A’s red tagged images are image 1 and image 4 client B’s red tagged images are images 2 and 3 in the client tag sets base, I specify which tags belong to each client (tags can overlap) client A: red, green client B: yellow, orange, red both client A and B have images tagged ‘red’ in the tags table, it shows each of the tags, the images containing each tag and the client tag sets I’m having trouble figuring out how to create a grid view within the tags table that will show the images tagged ‘red’ but only if their client is client A. and then another grid view that shows images tagged ‘red’ but only if their client is client B.

Hi, Have anyone get calendar’s external sync (iCal) working with android app “iCal import/Export Pro” ? It seems that 95% of the syncs Airtable returns to the app “Page not found” web page, instead of ICS data. Have anyone get this work ?

When incorporating a % field into an email to be sent by an automation, it converts into a decimal in the email automation.

I’m working on managing a fleet of vehicles and im trying to automate things that happen when my “Fuel Log” table is updated. Currently new records are entered via a form by my drivers, I would then like to have the Mileage and Engine Hours that were entered into the new record from that form update on a separate table that i store general information for each of my vehicles on. Currently the tables are “Fuel Log” and “Assets” “Fuel Log” houses a list of entries updated daily by drivers when recording their post trip information, it is ever expanding and I GROUP it by date. “Assets” houses a static list of the vehicles we use, and is only there to contain general information about each vehicle, VIN, Mileage, make, model etc. There are never any new records in this table, only updates to specific records in this table. Im trying to figure something out like this. Record created for Vehicle 12 in “Fuel Log” Table via a form for “Fuel Log” Table. Automation Triggers Finds Record for Vehi

I am building an archive of the activities of my amateur theatre company. The main table is productions - for each production I have a number of fields that relate to people - Author(s)/Director(s)/Cast/Crew. These are linked to tables so that I can see all directors and what they have directed, all authors and what they have written etc. Now, in this group, someone might write one production, direct a different one, act in another and be backstage crew in another. I would love to be able to have a People table where it shows that Joe Bloggs as an actor in XXX, crew in YYY - so you get an overview of everything Joe has done across all productions. At the moment Joe is listed once in Actors and once in Crew. Any suggestions as to how I do that? The Base is here: Airtable - Brussels Amdram Theatre Archive

Hi all! Looking for some help with a script to use in an automation! Background Info: My company offers training classes to our clients and we have a base that houses two tables: 1. Training Master List This table is the Master List of attendees for all classes throughout the year. Includes fields like Client Name, ClientID, Training Completed Date, and Linked Record to Qualified Clients Table 2. Qualified Clients This table includes clients that are qualified to be featured on our list of preferred partners. Similar to the first table mentioned, this table includes fields like Client Name, Client ID, and Contact info. I’m looking to have an automation that runs a script every morning at 10AM. The script needs to loop through the ClientID field in each table looking for matches. If a record from the Training Master List Table has a ClientID that matches a ClientID from the Qualified Clients Table, I would like to link the Qualified Client Record in the Training Master List Table. I’ve

Sorry, but I can’t find examples of how to use Script block to write rich text formatted text to Long Text field with Rich Text enabled. Any references would be greatly appreciated. Thx!

Is there any share view option in which I can share a view in a table to a selected group of people? I want a grouped and filtered view which can be only accessed by the managers and the other views can be accessed by all the people in the workspace.

Hi everyone, Recently I am facing an error with the following code: await myTable.updateRecordsAsync([ { id: record.id, fields: { 'Attachment': [ { 'url': "https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/63001f29cc9836435b1ac84dd7dba62f/98c345c9/63NHT_2.jpg" } ] , }, } ]); The error It was totally fine before. I don’t know why? Thank you

I’ve been using airtable for a couple of years on my own and have developed some cool and useful interfaces that I use. It turns out a bunch of others would love to have access to the dashboards I’ve built. I understand I can’t share the interfaces without making those viewers paid collaborators, which is ridiculous for some managers who want to view a page once per month. So what are my options? Screenshots? Stacker?

Hi there, Sorry to bother you with this question, but since this morning the synchronization between Airtable and Google Calendar does not work anymore. Although I created new records, they no longer appear in the google calendar where I integrated the airtable calendar via its url. Does anyone else encounter this problem? Strange thing too, I work with thunderbird for my different email accounts and in the calendar tool it no longer recognizes the url of my airtable calendar. Thanks for your help.

Hi. Imagine that I have this: let result = await table.selectRecordsAsync({fields: table.fields}); Navigating the API, I saw we can do this: result.records.find(…) but I cant’ fin any example. Can you explain how to use it? Thanks in advance.

Hey all, I am trying to update the Owner (type: User) of a record, when a status field is updated. However, I keep getting the error: Field “Owner” cannot accept the provided value: Could not find matching collaborator for string The automation is supposed to copy the value of the owner from a lookup field which basically holds the owner from a linked table. Please help.

Hi - I’m brand new to Airtable and am building a capacity tracker/task tracker for my team. In my capacity tracker table, individual team members are assigned an “at capacity” or “available” marker based on a formula that is triggered by the number of tasks they are linked to in the task tracker table. When a task is marked complete in my task tracker table, I want it to disappear from the column/rows it is linked to in the capacity table, so a team member’s capacity level is always accurate. I hope that makes sense. Is it possible to do this with an automation? I’ve been perusing the forums but can’t find anything that is super clear. Thanks!

I’m certain this is a lack of understanding of JS or synchronous/asynchronous operations on my part, but: if I want to call Airtable.base.create through the Node.js module and actually get the created records (or error) returned to be used elsewhere, how would I do that? Currently, my code looks like this: export async function createRecord(record) { base('example').create({ "field": record["field"] }, function(err, record) { if (err) { console.error(err); return; } console.log(record.getId()); }); } I can get the information logged to console just fine, but I’m not clear on how to properly return it or assign it to a variable and use it elsewhere.

Hey Community ! I’ve been searching here and there, and i don’t see the way to update multiple fields at the same time, in the same updateRecordAsync. Is it even possible ? Because doing one field update at a time is very slow. Any help or workaround appreciated :cowboy_hat_face:

Hello all, I have a question regarding the changes to the attachment url’s. I have images stored on Airtable that I fetch using the API and display them on my site. I am not using the any permanent link. Whenever a user accesses the site, it requests the data and gets the image url and displays it. Will the changes affect this use case? For example, I know that cloudfare may cache the temporary url and then feed it to the public, but does that mean that some users will get a blank image instead of the new url? Thanks in advance

I don’t see the option to select the field to update in a Record Picker Interface. In a different base I am able to set this correctly. What could be the issue?

I am getting a 503 response from Mailchimp API when making a simple GET request. The same request from Postman works. Any ideas why we get a 503? Thanks!

Hi… I am using Airtable as my backend for an app I am building in Appgyver. I am trying to experiment with Airtable’s query parameters and I just can’t seem to get some things to work. Currently, I am just trying to retrieve a list of records, but only certain fields for those records. The API Documentation for Airtable seems straightforward but I keep getting the same error: I received a response from a helpful Appgyver user who pointed out that “The HTTP 422 Unprocessable Entity Code indicates that the server has understood the type of query content and that the request syntax is correct but that the server has not been able to carry out the requested instructions. You have to formulate your request differently to access your data.” However, he stopped short of explaining exactly what this means. Any takers here able to help? Thank you!

I’m wracking my brain trying to figure out how I can make this work. I have an Items table. I have a Locations table. I have a Location Records table that joins the two. An Item has many Location Records, and belongs to a Location through its most recent Location Record, and it has a history of all its past Locations through the sequence of all its Location Records. In the Items table, I can Rollup Location Records–>{Date}–>MAX(values) to pull the {Date} out of the most recent Location Record. But how can I pull the {Location} out of the most recent Location Record, so that I can display an Item’s {Current Location}? I can Rollup Location Records–>{Location}–>ARRAYJOIN(values). I was hoping the {Location} value from the most recently added Location Record would be the first in the array – then I could use: LEFT( {Location Rollup}, SEARCH( ",", {Location Rollup} ) -1 ) to parse out the first value from the array. But, of course, this isn’t the case – ra

I am trying to figure out a way to trigger an action when a specific status record is updated. For example, when a person is moved to a "Pre-Qualified’ status, then trigger an action to send an email. Is this possible? I don’t need just a status record update, but a specific status record update. Thanks!

If all users have a record in the base, is there a way to prefill the user field on a form with the user who is signed in when they access the form URL? Not having luck creating a prefill formula that accomplishes this.

Here’s a short Loom video that explains my question with examples:

Hello!! Hope anyone can shade a light here. Here’s some preliminary information to help you understand what I’m trying to achieve… I have 3 tables within one base: Inventory (primary field: Product_ID) Packs (primary field:Pack_ID) Sales Orders (primary field: OrderNo) The “Packs” table holds packs that are made of one or more products from the Inventory table. The Inventory table holds the individual products used to make packs. I’d like to count the total quantity per item in the inventory table that has been sold, in other words the qty “out” from the inventory. Sales orders are registered in its table and each sale is done by pack.
