Hi, We’re battling getting contact duplicates from Meta lead campaigns. Basically people forget they’ve already signed up, and send in a new registration. Since these are Meta, we cannot control anything upstream. A first step is to get our people, who only work in interfaces, alerted that there’s a duplicate to a contact. It would therefore be enough, for now, to achieve a field that tells the user the amount that the current user’s e-mail address can be found in the total base (~2.000 contacts now). I’m trying an approach where I link all contacts to one record in another table, then lookup all e-mail addresses. Back in my main table I link to the second table and lookup the e-mail addresses. I would the like to count the instances of the field “email” in the lookup field where all e-mail addresses are. FIND finds only the first and gives the position, SEARCH does the same. COUNT and COUNTALL do not work on text. How could I get the count? Rgds. Björn

Hello, I wanted to know if it is possible to embed an Airtable table on my website with the Kanban view for example, and to be able to change status from my site without going through Airtable.

I have Two tables. People and Groups. The groups table is used for an assortment of things in our organization. So most everyone is a part of 3-20 groups. My problem comes when I need to add more than 30 or so people to a single group. Bulk adding overwrites all of the varied groups that a person is in and i can’t find an angle to add more than one person at a time to the group without overwriting all of that person’s existing groups. I’m attempting to create an automation that I can use a view that automatically appends a person to a group but I’m thinking there has to be a better way. Any insights?

Hi There,I have a list of PNG photos in Airtable.for example:D:\Files\QRCodes\2100.PNGD:\Files\QRCodes\2101.PNGD:\Files\QRCodes\2102.PNGD:\Files\QRCodes\2103.PNGD:\Files\QRCodes\2104.PNGand I have an ajoint attachment fiels.How can I tell Airtable to upload one PNG to the attachment fiels based on the addess in my local PC?  

I’m using the Outlook Email action to send my emails, because (1) my org uses Outlook, and (2) normal Send Email automations get caught by the spam filter of various Outlook distribution emails that are the recipients of certain automations.In the last month, there have been two different instances of the Microsoft API being down, causing my Outlook Email-based notifications to fail to send. But these emails are sending essential information, and I’d like to be able to do something else (send a Slack, or use the standard Send Email action) if the automation failed. Is there anything in either automations or the various APIs that would support this?

I have a nested IF formula that is working well, but is excruciatingly hard to maintain because it’s so many levels deep. It would be easier to maintain if I could use IFS(), but that doesn’t seem to exist in Airtable. Is there anything else similar I could use? The logic is (in pseudocode) : IF regex_match(MYFIELD, expr1) then regex_extract(MYFIELD,pattern1)ELSIF regex_match(MYFIELD, expr2) then regex_extract(MYFIELD,pattern2)ELSIF …. etc for far too many more patterns …ELSE blank()ENDIFI don’t think I can use SWITCH or CASE (if these even exist in Airtable) because each if statement clause is different. Essentially, I have a string that may contain one and only one of a dozen substrings, and I need to detect and extract these substrings whenever they show up. Fun times.

Hi everyone,I’m building my own CRM and want to filter for e-mail domains and create company records based on it. But I do not want to create company records for typical free e-mail-providers like gmx, web or gmail. That’s why I want to filter before running the automation. Can I input more than 1 value into the conditioning “does not contain”? And if so, how? I tried putting a comma inbetween the options but that did not work. And I do not want to setup a condition per domain that should not be included.Thanks for your help!RegardsJonas 

How can I accomplish the following: In a form I want to dynamically alter the choices available in Field B when a certain option is chosen in Field A. E.G Field A could be a single select list of countries Field B could be a single select list of states (All states in all countries) When a specific country is selected in field A, a corresponding subset of options is available to select in field B.

I have a single table with 2 varying date formats, one that is in date format (i.e. 6/30/2025) and another one with single select (i.e. 2025). I’m trying to figure out a way to link the two together, that way when I update the actual date, the year updates accordingly. A lot of times we have multiple people working on the same table, and they update the date column, but not the year. Simplifying this to where the year updates automatically would allow us to keep things consistent. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

I am trying to create an automation that will send a personalized email to a list of recipients. I have a record that triggers automation when matches conditions.I have several records linked to one field of the triggering record that link to the recipients table, where email addresses are stored.I use Find Records to obtain a list of names and email addresses from a linked records.I want to iterate sending Gmail to each of the addresses individually, addressing the person by name and sending the message only to one person at a time.If that is possible, how do I use the input source data in the To: field and in the email body to address one single person - not the list of them at once.If I do not use Find Records to create the input list, then I can only use ID and Name from the linked records and can not pull out their emails from the table where those recipient names, emails and other data are stored, leaving me with useless set of IDs and names only. Thank you in advance for any tho

I have a working formula in my table to calculate the job duration from "job start" to "job end". I am trying to use the same formula to calculate a job response time from "Job Creation date" to "Job start". The formula is as follows:CONCATENATE(FLOOR(DATETIME_DIFF({Job Start}, {Job Creation Date}, 'minutes') / 60), ":",RIGHT("00" & MOD(DATETIME_DIFF({Job Start}, {Job Creation Date}, 'minutes'), 60), 2))However, this doesn't seem to be working as I have a job created date of 20/06/2025 13:00 and a job start of 20/06/2025 13:08 and the result it is giving me is 0:52 - I cannot seem to get this formula to give me the result of 0:08 which is what the actual result should be.My job duration formula works exactly the same way and gives me the correct answer. Job Duration formula is:CONCATENATE(FLOOR(DATETIME_DIFF({Job End}, {Job Start}, 'minutes') / 60), ":",RIGHT("00" & MOD(DATETIME_DIFF({Job End}, {Job Start}, 'minutes'), 60), 2))Job Start = 20/06/2025 13:08 Job end = 20/06/2025 1

​@leah_ackerman Sorry, I didn’t know how else to get a hold of you.  I just tried to take the Airtable AI Administration Course and found that the same video is in there for each of the three segments, as well as the same description. Please let me know when this get addressed as I’d like to finish the course :-) Thanks for your help!

Hi. So the only way I can read-only share an interface with an external user is through Pro or Enterprise plans? Also is there a way to automate the sending of an interface dashboard for updates weekly, monthly, etc?

I'm using a simple JSON to POST data to create a new record in Airtable.I'm using Field IDs to prevent name changes from affecting the integration. I've replaced the actual field ID's below for this example, however I'm using the correct Field IDs in in my production environment.I'm using variables captured from the chat to send to Airtable.{"records": [{"fields": {"fld1": "{First_Name}","fld2": "{Last_Name}","fld3": "{eMail}","fld4": "{Boomo_Intent}","fld5": "{MCI_Copilot_Feedback}"}}]} I've verified both my endpoint URL and Authorization API Key.I've troubleshot this for a couple of days now including using ChatGPT but still get the following error:{"error": {"type": "INVALID_REQUEST_MISSING_FIELDS","message": "Could not find field \\"fields\\" in the request body"},"VF_STATUS_CODE": 422,"VF_HEADERS": {"access-control-allow-headers": "authorization,content-length,content-type,user-agent,x-airtable-application-id,x-airtable-user-agent,x-api-version,x-requested-with","access-contr

I'm trying to setup an automation that sends out reminder emails to a bunch of people. I'm wanting to customize the email to pull information, such as their name and email address, into the automation. However, when I try to input the dynamic data into the email that will be sent out, the only option I have showing up in my "insert values from field" are ID and the primary field in the table. Whereas with most dynamic setups, I'm able to pull data from any field in the table. Why are the other fields not available? Is there a workaround for this? Please see attached screen shots for reference.

Hello, I’ve got a Bookkeeping Airtable Base and have created a record review interface for the user to review new records, created with transaction info pulled from their banks. They’ve got to make sure they categorize the transaction and that it has something written into the Vendor field, then they hit the “save” button, which I created to run an automation that updates some things behind the scenes, crucially, pasting the value of a formula field (that adds up the Vendor field plus the transaction year) into a linked field called Merchant, and then marking that record as “reviewed.”So far it’s been going wonderfully, but I ran into an issue when a user told me they hit “save” but nothing happened, and going in I realized that the automation only works when there is already a record in the linked Merchants tab with the correct Vendor+year combo. If this transaction is from a brand new vendor, the automation doesn’t work, because – as I learned by checking out the Airtable Community p

Hey everyone,I'm working on migrating data from an old database to a new Airtable base, and I've set up linked tables. I've also created a script extension that successfully migrates a record when I manually select it within the extension.My goal is to embed this script in a button field on my interface. This button should allow users to run the script directly on the current record they are viewing, without having to open the script extension and select the record manually.Here are my main questions: How can I pass the current record (the parent of the button) as an input context to my script when the button is clicked? I need the script to know which record it should operate on. I've noticed that when I link the button to my script, the button appears disabled. Is this because the script is expecting manual input (like selecting a record from within the extension itself), and if so, how can I configure it to be runnable directly from the button? Any insights or examples on how to a

Hi everyone ! I am trying to authenticate a request using Basic Auth. I then need to base64-encode my logins. (could encode them manually and then insert but would prefer to keep that logic in the code) I didn’t found how to achieve this “natively” without rewriting the entire encoding function. btoa() does not seems to work :confused: Can anyone help me on this ? Thanks

I currently have a system created to track gear that comes to my warehouse and then leaves.I have different ways in where this gear arrives such as picked up by us, dropped off to warehouse by client, picked up by client from warehouse or returned by us. I have a field for each of those ways. most of the time when it is picked up by us it is also returned by us. I want each entry to automate being returned up by us when i choose picked up by us. Same for the other ones that are paired. What steps do I have to take to make it to where each time I make a new entry that this can be automated? I also do not want it to effect previous entries already made.    

 Originally when we created our system, we used text fields to record the Call Time and Gig Time Span. Since we have the time zones already saved for each record, I am wondering if there is an easy way to do the following: Switch the Call Time Field from a Text Field to a Time field (without having to type the time zone every time) Switch the Gig time Span Field into 2 different Time fields for both previous records and current records, a Start Time and End Time. Similarly, I do not want to type the time zone every time. Moving forward, I would like to only have to type the start start and end time for an event in separate fields (not in the text box).If this is possible, these would save a ton of time and allow us to do better, more efficient work. Thank you for your help!

Is it possible to export a revision history? And if so, can a specific date range be specified?

Hello, I have a base that has the date and time in one field, I have created another field and I would like to have that field enter the YYYY from the date time field using a formula. Would anyone know what the formula would be? Thanks in Advance!

Good day.I have a “whole” staff table, with various “statuses” SOWs, Guests, and FTE.  However, a newer table was linked to the base, with “special” contractor statuses.  I need to have these “added” to the above Full Table, along with their statuses, etc.  The whole needs to be the final source as it’s used across bases.  How might I go about this?  

I have a table linked to an application form. This table has a field with a check in it.I have another table within the same workspace for people that are referred, also with a check in it.Right now, new members apply and then I have 2 records: one from the application form, another from the manual enter I did as the person got referred.I want the system to update all records when someone applies using the form, so it doesn’t create another record, but fill in all the information on the already created one. Is this possible?I can’t seem to make it work via automations.
