Hi - I recently noticed that the URLs for attachments in my base are ‘sometimes’ exported with additional parameters that looks something like this: &userId=usrRGFsp5k3BVKxoz&cs=5df56hubdtrt3673b79d I’d prefer just the basic URL, and am also concerned that exposing the UserID is a security flaw - since I’ve shared these asset links, usually images, on a public platform without inspecting the URL closely. I am using the API (via pyairtable) to get these URLs. Sometimes the extra parameters are included, and sometimes they’re not. I haven’t been able to ascertain what is causing the different outcomes. Has anyone experienced this, or had similar issues? Thanks!

Hi team, Here’s the context 2 fields: Scheduled date: A Date field with ISO format, 24h format, it includes Time and uses GMT for all collaborators Date validation: A formula field that runs the following code: IF( AND( {Scheduled date}, NOW() >= {Scheduled date} ), "Ready", "In Review" ) Problem: When Scheduled date = Today, the formula returns Ready, ignoring the time. For instance: Case A Scheduled date = 2022-08-23 18:00 GMT NOW() = 2022-08-23 19:00 GMT The formula returns Ready :x: Case B Scheduled date = 2022-08-24 18:00 GMT NOW() = 2022-08-23 19:00 GMT The formula returns In Review :white_check_mark: Could it be that NOW() doesn’t care about time? or is it using a different Time Zone?

Hi, I’m pulling what little hair I have left out trying to search for an answer to my problem. Any advice would be very gratefully appreciated. I am trying to create a button that will create a custom url based on the following: https://random.company.co.uk/crsc/api/status/?dateOfBirth=<DD/MM/YYYY>&s urname=&hasAgreedTermsAndConditions=true&organisationName=&employeeSu rname=&employeeForename= The elements will be referenced from our airtable. Any clues as to where to start will be met with whoops of joy. Thanks, Huw

Is it possible to create an automation that will create a record at the end of the day if a student is not marked absent they will be counted as present. I have a form for teachers to fill out when a student is absent. However, I want to create something that will also count when a student is present, not just the change to present. For example, if there is a class of 4 students and everyone is in attendance then I would get a record at the end of the day where 4 different records were created saying that all students were present. Is there a script that is possible for this? Currently, my automation is grouping all four “present” students into a single record and I want a different record for each.

Good day everyone! For gmail automation, in the Message section - is there a way to format fields that are inserted into the content of the message? Examples are below: I would love for the message to be easier for the client to read. Thanks!!

Hey everyone Having a bit of problems with this script. I have a tasklist and at the end of the record I have a delete button. When I press the button I want it to delete just that record. But when I use this script it seams to delete just any of the records in the list except the record I want to delete. Can someone pls advise? // Delete a record in the Tasks table let table = base.getTable(“Tasks”); let query = await table.selectRecordsAsync({fields: }); let recordId = query.records[0].id; await table.deleteRecordAsync(recordId); console.log(“Deleted a record!”);

Why are all my DATETIME_DIFF formulas coming up as a negative number? My formula is: DATETIME_DIFF({Birthday}, TODAY(), ‘years’) and I am getting for example -29 instead of 29.

I want to do daily updates from each person on my team. I’ve created a table that has each of their names in a drop-down. The primary field is the date. I have a daily meeting where i’d like those records to be waiting for me to type the daily update in the “Notes” field. Then the next day, have those lines waiting for me again to fill in with that day’s inormation. They all go into one big log, and then I have a view that is just “Today”, filtered by today’s date. I made another table with the Names in a list so I could just cut and paste them each day, but that’s tedious. Is there a way to either replicate these records for every weekday in the future (or future month, etc.)? Or a way to have those 10 blank records (for 10 employees) waiting for me to fill in each day?

I want to update certain values (columns) of a record automatically in another table if it meets the condition. How can I do so? I have added a checkbox in Table 1. If the check box in Table 1 is checked, then update the values in Table 2.

I have table where I’m tracking attendance versus enrollment of a training workshop. I’m using a name field that also has a lookup field displaying whether someone goes by a formal name or an alias. I have another field that has an array of all attendees of the workshop an individual has enrolled in. I’ve had some success finding the enrollee’s name in the array of attendance to determine whether the enrollee is among those in the array. However, I’m running into an issue where, in some cases the enrollee, though listed as using an alias, may in fact have attended the workshop under their formal name. So, I need to use a formula that can search for and find either the alias or the formal name in the array, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Here’s what I have in the case of an enrollee who uses an alias who also attends the workshop using that alias: FIND( (IF({Alias (from Name)},{Alias (from Name)},Name)), {Workshop Session 000 Attendance}) I have tried including AND, but nothing is

Hello, I would like to create a new static date when a checkbox is clicked. It should be [day the checkbox is clicked] + [X Days]. I’m actually using IF({Follow-up 1 sent?} = 1, (DATEADD(TODAY(),2,"days")),BLANK()) However the Today() function keeps updating the date to … today. I’d like the newly created date to be static and not be incremented every day by the TODAY() function. Thanks

I want to avoid replicate the same base filter 10X times on the same view I could not find a combination for that. Why is it limited ?

Hello - I am trying to utilize a formula to view a date that is formatted like this Tue Aug 23, 2022 3pm - 3:30pm as 08/23/2022. (I do not need the time range in the final view) I was trying to do a formula like this: DATETIME_FORMAT(DATETIME_PARSE({Formula},“DDD MMM DD, YYYY”), “MMM-DD-YYYY”) but I am just getting an error in return Am I wildly off? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am super new to formulas.

I am creating a table where our team enters LinkedIn social media analytics. I have only dabbled with formulas, so I went to my friend for help, and he gave me a good formula, but I think it needs tweaking. Here is my dilemma: First, I want the “Click-Through Rate” to display “Not Available” for future posts. For current posts (as well as past posts); I would like to display a number, even if it’s zero. If you notice in my screenshot, there were certain past posts with data entered, but it doesn’t display anything in the Click-Through Rate cells. :woman_shrugging:t5: Second, I would like to display the Click-Through Rate as a decimal that moves the decimal point. For example, instead of displaying 0.0198, I would like for it to display, 1.98% Here is the formula: IF({clicks} > 0, ROUND({Clicks}/{Impressions},2), if({Impressions} >0, ROUND({Clicks}/{Impressions},2), “Not Available”)) I appreciate any and all help.

I have a table with employees I have a table with courses I have a table with course attendance I have a table with training days I have a table with skills Courses have linked Skills Course Attendance has linked Courses & linked Employees (who attended) I can use Lookup to show Skills next to Course Attendance Training Days have linked Skills & linked Employees (who attended, lets call this LE1) I can list Linked Skills next to Employee using a Lookup for Training and a Lookup for Course Attendance. I’ve got this working up to this point using “Link to another record” type fields. Training Days and Courses expire after a period of time (no longer competent). I want the Employee to show only linked Skills from Courses and Training that haven’t expired. I can do this using “Link to another record” type fields with “Limit record selection to a view” and limiting the view to records that haven’t expired. PROBLEM: using “Limit record selection to a view” on “Link to another record”

Banging my head on the table here - I cannot seem to figure how to link tables that I have imported from another database, having converted them to Excel. I have something basically like this: Table1 Table1_Key | Table1_Field1 | Table1_Field2... Table_2 Table2_Key | Table1_Key | Table2_Field1 | Table2_Field2... Data imports fine, but when I create the link, it just doesn’t work. I’m sure I’m overthinking something here, I just cannot seem to figure what it is. Matt

I’d like to insert an image in my base guide. I think I’m using the proper Markdown syntax, but it’s simply not working. I get the impression from this page that this should be possible. It says You can also use Markdown within the base guide to add headers, links, emojis and images. It works here in the Community. Here’s the exact Markdown I’m using, followed by the result here. Can I get the same result in the Base Guide? 

Hi everyone, So I am working on an automation that can help me do progress tracking, and I want the automation to help me find records that are based on the day of the week, and change the progress by +1. The current solution I have is: Scheduled Trigger Once a week Mondays Find Records with Mondays. Conditional Actions: if Progress is exactly 1 Update to 2 if Progress is exactly 2 Update to 3 And I would multiply this by 7 for the 7 days of the week But I realize, it does not update the entire batch but only one entry? Any potential solutions?

I have a table where I need to mark when flights take off between 22:00 - 07:00. I would like an If statement where it marks the record with an X when this is true. I have date fields for the departure time but I just cant quite find how to have a general standing marker based on times rather that a specific time AND date.

Maybe I’m just not looking in the right places but I cannot figure this out. I have a rollup field which is outputting ARRAYUNIQUE(values) so I end up with “Product1, Product2, Product3” I now want to have three other formula fields which are: “Has Product 1” “Has Product 2” “Has Product 3” that will equal “True”, “False” if the the product is found in the rollup string. How can I go about this?

Hi all! I work at an university and I’m trying to figure out how to change Airtable Forms’ font so it can align with our branding policies. Right now we can only use it internally because the font is out of compliance. Please help and cheers to Airtable! Best, Marisol

I need help figuring out an issue I’m having when filtering a view using a lookup field. I have a project tab and a task tab set up. For the tasks, I have task owners set up. The tasks work in a chronological order. The first task needs to be completed before task 2 can start, and so on. For the projects, I have a formula set up that automatically updates the project status when someone completes their task using a checkbox. I want to have a view for each person in the task tab – where they can see all tasks they have to do, but I want them to ONLY be able to see the tasks where they are up to complete the task (aka the task(s) before them are all completed and the status of the project aligns with their task). I have it set up where it currently filters for the task owner, the project status (through a lookup field from the project tab), and if the task has been marked complete through the checkbox. However, for some reason it is not filtering correctly and is showing all of the task

I have a table with 500 students. 400 of them I have the photo ID. For all of them, I have the email address to contact the parents. I have a form designed with mini extension allowing a parent to log in with the student ID and the last name, in order to upload the student’s photo ID. I would like to generate to all parents of a student with no photo a personalized email allowing them to upload the photo ID. What will be the way to do it?

I have a Learning Course table that tracks courses with either a single session or dual sessions via checkbox fields. I have links to fields in this table that identify whether an enrollee has completed the relevant sessions(s). From there I have a checkbox field that indicates whether, based on the attendance, whether an enroll has effectively completed the course. I tested a formula field that runs the checkbox field for the dual session completion, but I’m struggling to create a formula that accounts for the single session field. I initially thought it was an IF(OR(AND())) type of configuration but nothing seems to work. Here’s what I tried: Works: IF(AND({Session 000 Output}>0,{Session 001 Output}>0),{<TRIGGER> Completed Course}=1,{<TRIGGER> Completed Course}=0) Doesn’t Work: IF(AND({Single Session}=1,{Session 000 Output}>0),IF(AND({Dual Sessions}=1,{Session 000 Output}>0,{Session 001 Output}>0)),<{<TRIGGER> Completed Course}=1,<{<TRIGGER&
