I’ve read the community for how to get the harder-to-read date cleaned up for automation with emails that include that field. I made a new column that formats the date/time to MM/DD/YYY and it populates fine in the table. However, the emails show nothing of that date and just has the space blank in the email. Here’s the formula I have to set the date format: Any suggestions?

I want to write a script that copies the value from one field to another field in the same record. Trigger and condition are already set up. But I don’t get the script done. Automation trigger: When record enters view. (Done) Automation condition: When field ‘Album_curated’ is empty (Done) Action: Run script that does: Copy value from field ‘Created’ to field ‘Album_curated’

I’m struggling to pass an empty date to Airtable without throwing an error. My integration is with python, and so far I’ve tried an empty string and Python’s None (i.e. null) keyword. But with the None keyword I run into this error… ‘422 Client Error: Unprocessable Entity for url: https://api.airtable.com/v0/…[Error: {‘type’: ‘INVALID_VALUE_FOR_COLUMN’, ‘message’: ‘Cannot parse date value “None” for field Effective Date’}]’) Passing None to other fields clears the fields correctly so I’m really hoping this isn’t an API limitation where we can’t clear dates? Thanks for any thoughts!

Hi all, I have a form which sends data into a grid view. One of these columns has 7 options as a single select each with a rating number followed by a rating name. I created a column within the grid view that runs a script I wrote which essentially checks the input column and isolates the rating number in the new column for quick data pulls. However as our form inputs increase, I created an automation that would run this script every time a form was submitted and lately I have been getting the 15 mutations error. Would anyone be able to help me review my code and see if I wrote an unsustainable program? let table = base.getTable("Intakes/Submissions"); let view = table.getView("Partner Creator Survey External"); let csat = await view.selectRecordsAsync({fields: table.fields}); for (let line of csat.records) { let csatRating = line.getCellValue("CSAT Creator"); switch(csatRating.name) { case "1. Very dissatisfied": await table.updateRecordAsync(line.id,

I have two separate tables… contact list (table A) and an interaction log (table B). I’m trying to get a ‘date’ field from table B to be auto populated to the respective contact name in Table A. I have it already set up to link the table B record to a field in table A, but I need the date added to a separate field so that I can use the calendar view… I was able to create the automation – when a record is created in Table B, the action is set to create record in table A. but I don’t want to create a new record in table A (just need it to update a record) HELP PLEASE

I wrote a very simple formula for my first field column to include fields from other columns in my table. I have only two fields in my formula with text strings to include spaces between them. My issue is that one of the field ends up between two brackets like this " ". As you can see, the field Prix Fab Gastier is = 12" BW STD in the table, but in my formula it returns “12"” BW STD" So why is there in total 3 additional " ? One before the 12 One after the 12" and one after the STD

So I have a table called “US states”, which other tables have linked fields to. One issue I encounter often is that when I have a form in a different table and add a field called “Select state”, which is linked to the “US States” table, I often have people who fill out the form start typing in the state and accidentally insert a new State (sometimes misspelled or sometimes just the abbreviation) thereby creating a new record in the linked “US States” table. Is there a way that a linked field in a form restrict creation of new records and only allow users to select from the list of linked records?

Hello, I am wondering how you can prefill a form where the field type is “Checkbox”. For instance, I have a Contact Info form I send new clients. I have two Checkbox fields that I do not want them to see but would be helpful for me to be checked. When checked, mark the client as being an Active Account and an Active Contact. Field Names “Act. Acc.” “Act. Con.” Example Prefilled Form URL Client Contact Info Form???&prefill_Act.%20Con.=???&prefill_Account%20Name=Client%20Name&prefill_CSM=First%20Last&prefill_ST=UT&prefill_Acc.%20Exec.=First%20Last&prefill_Account%20Name%20Dropdown=Client%20Name Thanks in advance!

I’m looking to create a datestamp field based on if a Single Select field is either COMPLETE or CANCELED, otherwise it should remain empty. I’ve searched through this site and tried a variety of options but have had no success. IF(OR(Status=“COMPLETE”,“CANCELED”,LAST_MODIFIED_TIME())) **This returns all cells as blank Thanks in advance!

Hi! I’m working on setting up a long-running {Task Due} date formula field that will eventually span across multiple years. The {Task Due} date is already successfully calculating a variable workday amount prior to the {Key SR Date} (the date of the actual event) using negative values found in the {Days Out} field. I’ve created an IF set up to accommodate some of the {Days Out} are 0, where I want the output to be the same as the input. Here’s the formula I’ve got going successfully: IF(({Days Out}=0), {Key SR Date}, (WORKDAY({Key SR Date}, {Days Out}))) Now, I want to factor US holidays (and specifically a string I made for my company’s holiday list). I created a separate table with a {Reference Year} and a {Holiday String} field so that I can create a string for 2022, 2023, etc. I’ve used lookup fields on the current table so that the correct Reference Year is applied to each record, and it displays the applicable {Holiday String} from the other table. My thought was, shouldn’t I be

Hello all, I started a base and before I get too far I thought I might ask the community to help me start on the right track. I would like to track the fabrication of a lot of piping assemblies. Here is what I have in mind : One table for the list of pipe assemblies to track the drawing status (for comments, for construction) One table to track the fabrication status (drawing for construction received, in progress, completed, shipped to paint shop) For this step I would like to have an attachment for the invoice from the fab shop and the delivery bill from the fab shop to the paint shop One table to track the paint of each assemblies (received from fab shop, in progress, completed, shipped to work site) For this step I would like to have an attachment for the invoice from the paint shop and the delivery bill from the paint shop to the work site One table to track the receiving of each assembly to the work site (received from paint shop, installation in progress, completed, inv

Hi! I am trying to write data to a airtable from Rasa chatbot. But when i run the code, it returns me a 422 Client Error: Unprocessable Entity for url: https://api.airtable.com/v0/<base ID/<table_name> error. load_dotenv() airtable_api_key = os.getenv("AIRTABLE_API_KEY") base_id = os.getenv("BASE_ID") table_name = os.getenv("TABLE_NAME") def create_convo_record(category, price, storage, ram, battery): request_url = f"https://api.airtable.com/v0/{base_id}/{table_name}" headers = { "Content-Type": "application/json", "Accept": "application/json", "Authorization": f"Bearer {airtable_api_key}", } data = { "fields": { "category": category, "price": price, "storage": storage, "ram": ram, "battery": battery, } } try: response = requests.post( request_url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data) ) response.raise_for_status(

I’m new to Airtable and have only used bases shared with me. I created my own base, and need to make it private. A colleague told me to move it to “My First Workspace”…however I don’t have that workspace as an option.

Hi all. I have the following issue: I want to integrate a table inside a Notion page. In my table there are links to Google Photos albums, but they don’t work (they do instead work if I copy and paste the same link in the browser). I don’t know if this is an Airtable, Notion or Google Photos issue though… Anyone experienced that before? Thanks.

My app is reading data from multiple tables, then displays them in context and interconnected. To be able to react to user changes I’m using the useRecords hook, so that updates propagate to the app. When searching why the app loads so slowly I realized that it starts over and over again, with each useRecords hook. Is there a way/pattern to avoid this, while still being able to read all the necessary table data? My code: ... const base = useBase(); // get all necessary Airtable tables const tables = React.useMemo(() => { return { productTable: base.getTableByNameIfExists(Constants.PRODUCTS_TABLE_NAME), costTable: base.getTableByNameIfExists(Constants.COST_TABLE_NAME), contactsTable: base.getTableByNameIfExists(Constants.CONTACTS_TABLE_NAME), conversionTable: base.getTableByNameIfExists(Constants.CONVERSIONS_TABLE_NAME), contributorTable: base.getTableByNameIfExists(Constants.CONTRIBUTORS_TABLE_NAME), }; }, [base]); console.log('tables ha

Hi, I am getting an Error back on the very basic SUBSTITUTE, which I have used numerous times in other tables of my base. SUBSTITUTE({Record Name}," “,”-") {Record Name} is a FORMULA FIELD that pulls the text from a LOOKUP FIELD (in the same table) that pulls the text from a FORMULA FIELD in another table. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Tobias

I have a Formula Field that creates a custom URL from my airtable. In the past, if a piece of data was missing in the airtable that was referenced in the Formula field … the data would just be empty. Now though, it’s throwing an error unless all of the data is populated. Does anyone have experience with this? Can you do something like =if(isnull, “noData”) in the formula?

I would like to keep a total score in a separate field based on certain values in 1 to 10 fields. So let’s say: Field 1: Yes Field 2: No Field 3: Yes Field 4: No Field 5: Yes Field 6: Yes Field 7: No Field 8: Yes Field 9: Yes Field 10: Yes Then a summarized 7 must be placed in the final number field. 7x yes = 7 and if I change field 3 to no after 2 weeks in the database, then field must become final grade 6 without having to do this manually. Is this possible and if yes how? I read about rollup/formula fields but how to do this on these 10 examples fields? It should be all present in 1 table and not different tables.

Hello everyone! I need to implement order creation in e-commerce. So, I have a “Products” table and an “Orders” table. The “Orders” table has a “Selected Products” field that is linked to the “Products” table. When a user selects a product, the link is implemented and all data from the “Products” is provided in the “Orders table”. There is such a case when the user must select the quantity for each product, and the total amount must be calculated accordingly. However, I have no idea how to bind each quantity for each product that is taken from “Products” table. Can you give any suggestions to solve this problem? The architecture looks like this: Table “Orders”: fields “Selected Products”: Product1, Product 2 [links]; “Total Amount”, “Quantities” (Here user needs to enter for Product1 and Product 2); “Price” (from “Products”) Table “Products”: fields “Name”, “Quantity”, “Price” Total amount = price[0] * quantities[0] + price[1] * quantities[1] (I need such formula)

Hi everyone ! I have a list of bars associated with internal funding codes. Then, on another tab, I have a list of projects and each one of them is associated with a particular internal funding code. On that tab, there is also a column name “List of bars”, where I’de like to have a list or a field including all the bars that were tagged with the specific internal funding code associated with the projet. Right now, I’ve tested automations used “Update record” and even “Create record”. The link works : If I input the internal funding code to a particular bar, it will show up in the list of bars on my second tab. However, instead of ADDIND this new bar to the list, it erases what is already there and only update the latest bar associated with my internal funding code. So, here I am, wondering if there’s is a way to do what I want to do with this. Thanks a lot for the help !

Hello all, I am a learning developer so hopefully my code is not too confusing. I want to create a form in React that feeds data onto Airtable. Using the Airtable SDK I am able to do it when I insert the API key into the code. const base = new Airtable({ apiKey: API_KEY }).base( "base-name" ) However, if I use process.env.AIRTABLE_API_KEY it gives an error saying: Uncaught Error: An API key is required to connect to Airtable. import { useState } from 'react'; require('dotenv').config() const Airtable = require('airtable'); const base = new Airtable({ apiKey: process.env.AIRTABLE_API_KEY }).base( "base-name" ) const table = base("table-name") const Form = () => { const [firstNameInput, setFirstNameInput] = useState(''); const [lastNameInput, setLastNameInput] = useState(''); const [emailInput, setEmailInput] = useState(''); const [interestInput, setInterestInput] = useState(''); const [phoneInput, setPhoneInput] = useState(''); const resetFo

Hi there, I have accomplished a few formulas through my airtable base but I have trouble with this one: In a library, I want to return “not in stock” for items that are signed out and have not yet been returned. In writing this would be: If SignOutDate contains a value and ReturnDate contains no value, return “not in stock”, otherwise “available” IF( AND( {SignOutDate}<>””,{ReturnDate}=BLANK() ), ”notinstock”,”available” ) As I am new to the AND/IF business, I might have severe problems in here already? If not, could it be that the date fields are the problem, they are set as ISO? Any help highly appreciated. Best, Sisi

I know that I am probably approaching this formula wrong, or maybe it isn’t possible with the way MIN()/Dates/Fields work in Airtable - but I figured I would ask the community for a little help on this one. Context: Need to assign work order due dates based off content Air Date. More specifically, I am trying to take the earliest date found for each month then subtract 28 weeks (dateadd -28 weeks), and use that Min Date - 28 weeks as the Work Order Due Date for every record that has an air date with the month that calculated it. Example: Record | Air Date | Work Order Due Record 1 | 04/22/2023 | 9/19/2022 Record 2 | 04/14/2023 | 9/19/2022 Record 3 | 04/03/2023 | 9/19/2022 Record 4 | 04/19/2023 | 9/19/2022 Record 5 | 07/22/2023 | 12/29/2022 Record 6 | 07/25/2023 | 12/29/2022 Record 7 | 07/13/2023 | 12/29/2022 In the example above, the four records have an Air Date in April, but the formula would calculate the Work Order Due Date as 28 weeks prior from 4/03/2023 since its the minimum val

Hello. I have a base that I offer for sale as a template. The purchaser copies the base to their account upon purchase. Is there any way of natively finding out how many times one of my bases has been copied? If this is not natively possible, is there any way of accessing the meta data for this? I’d like to understand if the number of sales correlates to the number of times it’s been copied. Many thanks,

I have 2 tables… Companies CompanyID, CompanyName, ContractIDs Contracts ContractID, ContractTitle, EffectiveDate, ExpirationDate, CompanyID They’re linked together via the final field in each table where 1 Company can have multiple Contracts. I want to create a field in the Companies table to display the ContractTitle of the most recent contract but am struggling to find a solution using Rollups. Of course, I can add a field to Companies using a Rollup that takes the MAX(ExpirationDate) to at least give the latest contract expiry, but I can’t find a way to use that expiry to bring back the single ContractTitle field with that expiry per Company. Appreciate any thoughts at all on whether this is possible!
