Hello everybody :slightly_smiling_face: I would like to create an gmail automation with a reminder mail in response to a previously send email. My example : Trigger = a checkbox “send invoice” is valid Action 1 = send email with invoice Action 2 = send reminder email in response to the first mail (if i check some checkbox like “reminder mail”) Could this be possible in airtable? Thanks !

I have a Search block that’s set to check three tables in our base. Two are formatted similarly (both are a kind of inventory), while the third tracks duplicates between the other two. What determines which fields (other than the name) show up in these preview cards in the search block when multiple tables are being queried? The fields shown do not match the order of the fields in the tables queried, and they’re not in alphabetical order. I’ve already found this question and it does not address my issue: Fields showing in preview of record from Search block Apps What determines the 3 fields in the screenshot (Product Title, SKU (Supplier), Supplier UPC) per record to show below? [CleanShot 2020-05-17 at 15.31.17@2x] Initially thought the fields reflected follows the order of the fields/columns in the View that’s being searched, but that’s not it. Thoughts?

Hi all, I read a number of articles on the forum regarding the linking of fields across tables, but cannot figure out how to handle the following situation efficiently. I have an Excel file containing data collected over a long period of time, about the various components and subcomponents found in a given system. After importing the file into Airtable, I have two tables: Table 1 lists all components in the system Table 2 lists all subcomponents in the system and shows what component they’re associated with. Note that each component can be associated with 0, 1, or multiple subcomponents. Subcomponents are associated with only one component. I’m trying to add a “Subcomponents” column in Table 1 where, for each component, the cell would show all the associated subcomponents (if any). At this point, I’ve added a “Subcomponents” column in Table 1 and linked it to Table 2. However, I’d like for Airtable to automatically populate each cell with all the right subcomponents. For the time bei

I am looking to filter properties for owners that live out of state. I get information from my data source in the format below. What’s a Regex formula I can use to separate out the City, State, and 5digit ZIP?

Hi folks, I’m trying to find a numerical value from the “Title” field and have it appear in the “amount” (e.g. 27.21) I’ve used this formula from looking at a few post’s but it only copies the values before the decimal: MID( {Title}, FIND( “For”, {Title} ) 6, 50 ) Another formula I found only copies the values before the decimal: IF({Title}, VALUE(RIGHT({Title}, LEN({Title})- FIND(“0”,“1”,“2”,“3”,“4”,“5”,“6”,“7”,“8”,“9”, {Title}))), 0) What formula do I need to get the full total which in this example is 27.21? Thanks in advance! :winking_face:

Greetings, folks: All I want is to create the next record: let nuevoRegistro = { 'ALUMNOS': [{ "id": regAlumno.id }], 'ANHO': [{ "id": registroAnho.id }], 'CENTRO': [{ "id": registroCentro.id }], 'isAlta': { name: "Yes" }, 'CLASE': { name: clase }, 'CURSO': [{ "id": regCurso.id }], }; With the following function: let crearRegistros = async function (tabla, nuevoReg) { return await tabla.createRecordAsync(nuevoReg); } And what do I get when I run this? await crearRegistros(tabla, nuevoRegistro); U: Validate this value before parsing I couldn´t find any info about scripting errors. I hope someone did and would like to share what I’m doing wrong. Thanks!

I would appreciate it if anyone could help with the following scenario I have 2 tables, Table A is client lead table, Table B captures data from a form. when a clients answers are captured in Table B I need those answers to be updated for that client in Table A. thanks in advance

Hi, I would like to return all rows that contain a specific term. For example, I have rows that have two terms, [Default, Bar]. Using AND(term='Bar') will not work, but using FIND('Bar',term) will work. Except that it will also return results that have the term “Barber” as well. Is there a way to select rows that contain a term? Like FIND([Bar], term) for example? Thanks

Hey all, wasn’t sure where to post this question in the community… I’m looking to order entries so that most recent entries show first. In the screenshot below, Airtable keeps the oldest entry at the top no matter what I do. How can I invert this? Thanks, Christopher

I’m a little bit lost on this one and hoping for some help from the community. I’ve been using this automation without issue for months, but recently something changed and now it’s throwing me an error. (I’m guessing something updated on Airtables end). I have an automation which runs whenever a customers record is updated (which includes a rollup field of their orders). I then run a script to take the customers linked order records and sort them, so that newest orders show at the top. Up until this point, everything is working as expected, and the output of the script is a sorted list of the linked record ‘names’ (which in this case are Order ID’s, like 12345). The next step, ‘Update a record’ is where I’m now getting the error everytime this automation runs. It should (as before) take the output of the script and update the linked ‘Orders’ field in the customer record that changed, triggering the automation. That’s all it does, not changing any other fields. Now, I’m getting an

Hey everyone! Today we had an issue where a few of our automations started failing due to all of our “Link to _” fields breaking. We have been using these fields as a main link between tables, and they have all started failing with the same error: Field “_ ID” cannot accept the provided value: Cannot modify a computed field. Does anybody have any idea what might have happened? This all started happening around 1:30pm EDT today, and it is not just one table, but at least 4 or 5 tables. Any insight into what might have happened would be very much appreciated. It is a very big workflow issue for our company as this drives a lot of what we work on a daily basis. Thank you!

Hi Community! I would like to display a record that looks like a gallery view, but that is static so you don’t have to open it in order to copy information from it. Can you think of an app that will do this? Thanks in advance for any assistance. mary

Hi, If I have a column with the field type “URI” it doesn’t actually check that the inputted data is a valid URL. Is there a way for me to define a custom field type with the API/Apps. The ideal situation would be a custom field type that is validated by Regex. Thanks in advance (:

Hello! I am trying to make a formula to calculate X number of days before a Launch Date. I do not want to exclude weekends, however if the Due Date happens to fall on a weekend, I want to make it that Friday instead. I know about the DATEADD({Launch Date},-7,‘days) formula, and I’ve seen the WORKDAY function but not exactly sure how to make this work. So when calculating the total days before launch I DO want to include any weekends, but if the Due date falls on a weekend, it should add an extra day or two to make it that Friday… Thanks!

Hi, I need to calculate the age of a Deceased. I assume a formula is needed. I have Date of Birth and Date of Death to work with and I need the know the age in Years, Months and Days. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I obviously don’t know what I’m talking about, so apologies in advance. I was inspired by this Team Schedule using Airtable blog post where they have a formula column that delivers “team member + Status” so I’m trying to create a formula that achieves something similar, but is a little more complex: My columns are: Brand = lookup from another table example “Client 1” Project = lookup from another table example "Awesome Website" Person = lookup from another table example “Betsy” Status = single select example “Working” or “OOO” My goal is to get the formula to deliver [Shortened {Brand} name | {project}] - Status] or {person} - Status where the result EITHER shows: shortened brand name + project + status (example C1 | Awesome Website - Working) OR person + status (example Betsy - OOO) I’ve poked around several topics and the formula database trying to figure it out but I don’t know coding syntax or complex formulas. Here’s what I have so far: Attempt #1 (kind of works?) {Brand} & "

Hello all, I would like to use an If formula: Everything before a certain date should be “True”, everything after “False”. When I write it like this, it doesn’t work: IF(InvoiceDate<3/8/2021,1,2) (InvoiceDate is a Field in Type “Date” with Format “European”). Do you have any idea and could you help me please? Thank you very much!

Hi everyone, I desperately tried for 3 days to solve this problem, could you help me ? I have 2 forms I ask my clients to fill. each form fills a separated table in the same base. Form 1 and Form 2. to do the folllow up I would like to create a “follow up table” to see which companies filled form 1 and form 2, and to be able to send reminders to the companies that just filled form 1. I tried with automations ( find records based on the company name) but it did not work. I would like to have a " follow up table" with the name of all the companies that filled either form 1 and form 2, and being able to see in the fields Form 1 and Form 2, if they filled both. ( the ones that just filled 1 form would receive an automated email if I manage to create the automation :slightly_smiling_face: )Could you help me ? thanks a lot !

Hi guys, Recently, I ran into some weird cases while trying to copy-paste a formula field cell values. When I’m pasting the content, I’m getting the string with quotation marks at the beginning and the ending of the text, while in the field itself I’m not seeing them. Example: You can see there are no quotation marks in the cell itself, but when trying to paste the cell value, I’m getting: “Text text text” Any idea on how to avoid these quotation marks?

I hope this is the right place to ask this. I’m hoping to figure out an easier way to handle a data type in my base. Basically, a lot of the data we use has cities in our area for different purposes (Address for the student, parent address, school address, things like that). So basically we have 5 different fields that are basically of a “City” type. To import into our system, the city names have to exactly match what is in there, or they won’t import. To accommodate this, I made the city list a dropdown selection. We have a ton of cities we serve, and it seems every year we get new ones. Unfortunately, that involves updating the attributes for not only 5 fields, but due to confidential data regulations, those same 5 fields across multiple bases. Is there some way to sync the dropdown selections for those city fields to a master list somewhere? This way, if a new city pops up, we can push it out to all of the bases for our customers, or if we find out someone put in a city name and spe

I’m trying to have a central calendar of sorts fed from a few different sources, and while I’ve used sync to great effect to make that calendar, my one hangup is in entering new events/dates into that calendar. To illustrate, let’s say I have an “Events” calendar and a few other misc calendars. For example a “Holiday” calendar. They are all synced into a “Master” calendar. What I would ultimately like to be able to do is add a new event while referencing the “Master” view. Say, for example, I am looking to schedule an event but want to make sure it isn’t going to fall on a holiday. I’d ideally like to be able to schedule right on the “Master” calendar. But it seems like that isn’t possible, and instead what I would have to do is go back to the “Events” calendar and add the event after referencing the “Master” calendar. Am I missing anything?

I would like to make it so members filling in a form can select their name or their organization’s name from a list in the database using “+add”. But I only want them to see an alphabetical list of member names and not information in any of the other columns. So I created a “member name only alphabetical” view in the database. Then on the form, I selected ‘limit record selection to a view’ and chose “member name only alphabetical”. But all the hidden fields are still showing up. I only wanted the alphabetical names to show. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Airtable Community! Need some assistance for a date formula that is stumping me. Here is the backstory and the info that accompanies the screen shot I have attached: I have a field that the user chooses for a month called “S1 Month – Choose”. I then have a field next to it called “S1 Month Shown”. This field converts the 1st field to a numeric value using the following formula: IF({S1 Month - Choose}=“January”,“1”,IF({S1 Month - Choose}=“February”,“2”,IF({S1 Month - Choose}=“March”,“3”,IF({S1 Month - Choose}=“April”,“4”,IF({S1 Month - Choose}=“May”,“5”,IF({S1 Month - Choose}=“June”,“6”,IF({S1 Month - Choose}=“July”,“7”,IF({S1 Month - Choose}=“August”,“8”,IF({S1 Month - Choose}=“September”,“9”,IF({S1 Month - Choose}=“October”,“10”,IF({S1 Month - Choose}=“November”,“11”,IF({S1 Month - Choose}=“December”,“12”)))))))))))) I have another field that is being used in this process called “Today” that is a formula field to generate the date of today. Here is the formula I am using for this:

I want to create a AVERAGE formula using 3 columns that use the single select function. See attached image.
