Hello, I’m trying to create an automation in Zapier where when a record is updated in a Google Sheets spreadsheet, automatically a specific record in Airtable is also updated. For that, I followed the steps on this page: https://support.airtable.com/hc/en-us/articles/218151657-Using-Zapier-s-Multi-Step-Zaps-to-find-and-update-records Everything worked perfectly using a test table that I created in Airtable, but when I try to use the table that I really want to update, I’m getting the following error message: “The app returned” Unknown field name: “fldGbqW7NsISXtzKT” “.” It is as if the “Record” field that I am using as a reference to update the record was not being found. Could you please help me?

When I link to a Base with a “RATING” (Little Hearts) to create a viewable, duplicate column in another base, it only allows the field to show up as integers in various forms. No Hearts. It doesn’t make sense as I’ve been able to pull over logos from other fields, is RATING just broken?

Sorry I struggle like crazy with formulas and know I post on here so often but Airtable is amazing and has revolutionized our reported!!! Cue me getting over-excited and moving everything into Airtable which is great 99% of the time and leaves me with my head in my hands other days. I was just wondering if anyone could help me I have a base for my family support workers, I have added a date created so I know when the referral came in and we have a linked table for interactions which is essentially every time we contact them so there are a lot of linked files in here. What I am trying to do is add a column to work out the date of the first interaction and then a second to work out the number of days between the referral coming in and the volunteer contacting them. Please can someone help before I literally start pulling my hair out

Hello, I’m new here but it’s look like, it’s the tool I need. I have an e-commerce site with a lot of product with a lot of turnover and all this products are in bundles of products. Easy no ? So I want to create a table with all my product and create an other for each bundle and add all the products I need in it. The goal is to create a list of SKU to import them in my ecommerce site with an other tool. For exemple in the bundle A I need a chair so I had chair A. If the chair A is not in stock I would like to automaticaly add the chair B in the bundle and delete chair A, Later if the chair A is in stock I would like to add automaticaly the chair A and delete the chair B, If the chair A and the chair B is available, I want only the chair A First and important question, Is it possible to do it ? Second question, How ? I need some lead or tutorial with information. I hope to be clear, if I can explain more I can Thank

Hi - I am a new software engineering student and my school has turned us on to Airtable … an excellent resource for building some viable back-ends! Question: my table only has 200 rows, plain to see. But, the Over limits tag appears at the top. When I click it, I am taken to a dash that says my base has 1,226 / 1,200 records and I should upgrade. What gives? Is it counting records that maybe were once created and deleted since? I ask because I had done some batch posts/deletes earlier. I can’t find any indication that the record count would include prior deletions…and it would be a funny way to account for data, so I don’t think that’s it. Please help before I lose access to my (modestly-sized) trial data! Best, Sean

Hi, Here is my problem : In my “people” table, I want to display a count of “meeting” records created by each collaborator. In my “meeting” table, I created a “created by” column that automatically sets itself to the creator of each new record. It is important that this information cannot be manually overwritten, this is why I chose “collaborator” field type instead of directly linking it to my “people” table since links can be changed by every user. Now I need to link both tables so I can create a “count” column in my “people” table to count the number of meetings created by each collaborator. In a nutshell, I need the link between those two tables to be automatically set through the creator of each record in the “meetings” table. The problem is that there is no way to set a “Collaborator” type in the Primary Field of my “people” table. Do you have any suggestion that could work around it ? Hope I am clear enough

There is no KanBan view available in the iOS app, and the user is told to use the web browser to see this view. Unfortunately there is a persistent dialog on the web home page after you log in redirecting you to use the iOS app. Does any one know how to solve this? Thanks in advance

This question was asked by another user in February but was closed without an answer. It does not seem possible to move cards between stacks in the KanBan view on an iPhone or iPad at least. Surely this is a basic requirement of the KanBan view? Is there a tip or trick? Or is it something that the broad user base do not need? A reply would be appreciated even it is to confirm that the answer is “no”. Thanks in advance for any help.

I would like to have a total of all ordered qty for each item but got this error. When I use a lookup field, it shows ordered qty correctly.

Hi there, I’m new to the community so apologies in advance if this is posted in the wrong area. What I’m attempting to do is use the Automations function (next to blocks) to send an email when a new record enters an Airtable view: Trigger: When a record enters a view. Action: send an email. For the email address, I’m asking Airtable to lookup the email address from a linked record ValuesBy LinkedRecordId. When I select this, I receive the following error in red: ValuesByLinkedRecordId cannot be converted to a string When the action is changed to send a slack notification, that same email field shows a preview and appears in the body of the notification. I’ve tried changing the email field to short text, adding quote marks and commas, all unsuccessful. As a new user, I can’t attach screenshots to this topic. Hope this is enough info. DThanks

I’m trying to achieve the following: If Invoice Status is ‘Paid’, then ‘Paid’ If Invoice Status is empty and the date in Payment Due is on or after today, then ‘Due’ If Invoice Status is empty and the date in Payment Due is before today, then ‘Overdue’ I have created this formula, which is not working (it does show ‘Paid’ but not ‘Due’ where applicable): IF({Invoice Status} = ‘Paid’, ‘Paid’, IF(AND({Invoice Status)} = BLANK()),IS_AFTER({Payment Due}, TODAY()), ‘Due’, IF(AND({Invoice Status} = BLANK()),IS_BEFORE({Payment Due}, TODAY()), ‘Overdue’))) Any help would be much appreciated!

I cant seem to get this formula to work. its prefilling an airtable form but i cant get the second feild to fill. it says its a good link it just doesnt fill the second box. heres what i have CONCATENATE(‘https://airtable.com/shr4cGVHhm4dRLllz?prefill_UNIT=’,{UNIT} & ‘&PLANT=’,{ENCODE PLANT}) here is an example of what that outputs https://airtable.com/shr4cGVHhm4dRLllz?prefill_UNIT=261A&PLANT=12-CONV the unit number prefills fine but the plant does not. 261A is the data from the UNIT table. the title of the field on the form is also UNIT. 12-CONV is the data in the feild PLANT. The title of the feild on the form is also PLANT note everything in my base is in all caps and “encode plant” is all the plant names run through the url encode formula. i also have a single select with three options id like to prefill also if someone can help me with adding that as well?

I’m a freelance writer. Here’s my overall goal for Airtable: Collect raw data by which to cold contact companies > Make contact with said companies and move data to a Contact list > Work contact list until a contact becomes a client > Store dynamic information on all client activity such as first and subsequent project briefings and timelines; planned delivery dates; payments and all that jazz. I want to be able to reference raw data from the prospecting list across all tables as they narrow down from uncontacted Prospect to Contacted to Client. I was hoping to set the actions so that all the raw information in a single Prospect record could be linked or maybe automatically transferred to the Contact list once the “Status” field is updated to “Contacted”. Then, once a single contact record is updated to “Client” by check box field, it would transfer to the Client list without dragging all the raw data with it, just keeping linked to it. Does this make sense? If this is possibl

Hi, I have a list of rows with numbers. I would like to be able to send SMS to specific numbers, but it seems I can only send SMS to All the row. Is there a way to add a kind of button or something, to be able to select some numbers I want to contact ? Thanks, Sébastien

Dear community, I am working on a table for an art collection. The first field is supposed to sum up my most important information about each piece with a formula: CONCATENATE({artist},", “,{title},”, “,{year},”, ",{height (cm)}, " x “, {width (cm)}, " cm” , ", ",{technique}) This works perfectly fine so far, but I am struggeling to include an IF-Formula within the existing formula: Since a few of the works have a depth worth mentioning, I also want to include the depth of the pieces in the first field, but only IF the field {depth (cm)} is NOT EMPTY. As far as i researched this would be IF (depth != BLANK (), " x ", {depth}) , but I didn’t manage to make this work, let alone yet including it into the existing one. Just to sum it up, I want the formula to be displayed like this, with the bold part only being shown if the field is not empty: artist, title, year, height x width x depth cm, technique I’m sorry if this is obvious but I’m very new to airtable.

Hi All, I’m trying to add an individual button for reach row which would redirect to different URL’s, For ex : Row 1 : Button 1 : Google.com Row 2 : Button 2 : Airtable.com so on Currently when I proceed to add the button table with a simple URL formula (image below) It proceeds to apply the same URL for all rows on the Airtable sheet, from which every button points to the same url (google.com in this case) How do I edit individual button’s URL destination? Am I missing something? Let me know! Thanks in advance.

There is a last_modified_time field. I display in it the time of the last change of the “Статус_Заказа” field. The “Статус_Заказа” field has several meanings: How can I create a formula to get the time when the “Статус_Заказа” field was last modified for a specific value? For example, “Частично_Готов”? So that when the “Статус_Заказа” field takes on a different value that is different from “Частично_Готов” - nothing happens

I am trying to add all records from a view in a separate table to a field for all records in a view on another table. let TBTable = base.getTable(‘Technical Comments for VB’); let TBView = TBTable.getView(“Shared to All Trigger”) let TBQuery = await TBView.selectRecordsAsync(); let TBRecord = TBQuery.records; let VBTable = base.getTable(‘Verifier / Trainer Body’); let VBView = VBTable.getView(“Verifier Bodies (Public List)”) let VBQuery = await VBView.selectRecordsAsync(); let VBRecords = VBQuery.records; let d = VBRecords.forEach(c => d.push({id: c.id})); await TBTable.updateRecordAsync(TBRecord.id,{‘Verifier Body’: d}); output.markdown(’# Done :rocket: ’) I am getting an error that the record is not defined. Can someone help? Thanks,

Using the solution i found in a similar thread but this formula keeps returning an error. I can’t figure out where it has gone awry. The Total Time field is field type: duration. The others are multiple select. Without the DATETIME FORMAT i dont get an error but get the time as raw seconds and that isn’t helpful. Help! what i am doing wrong? {Team member}&" -"&{Type of Service}&" - "& DATETIME_FORMAT({Total Time},‘h:mm’)

Hi Folks, This may Seem a bit silly but I’m trying to render just individual field information for a little project I’m working on. I can get all the fields and cells for all the fields to show in my block but I can’t break it down enough to get just a single field worth of data. Please take a look and see if you can help

Hi, I need to extract the time and date from strings such as this one and add them as a separate cell in the record: “Thu 7/06 9:00am - Vinyasa Yoga @ Millennium Park” I’m trying this but it’s returning “-2”: MID(my_string, FIND("/",my_string), - 2) Also tried this to get the date and time up until the “:”: MID({Class Title}, FIND("/",{Class Title},0), -2,FIND(":",{Class Title})) [my_string is actually the field where the string is hosted] What would you recommend to extract the date? And what format would you recommend to have the time & date (e.g. both in one cell or separate for time and date). Many thanks for your help :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi everyone. I have a lists of tasks and I’ve connected each one to a larger project. I would like to set up a Kanban view by project - but I can’t seem to figure out how. Ideally I could see each project as a card, and then the connected tasks listed below in order of due date. See screenshots of how this is set up now, and how I’d like to see it from a Google doc. Huge thank you!

Hi everyone :grimacing: ! I have been working on different ways to represents performance information. We usually have to register how many points an employee got per week, and then we have to see the average of points by a pair of weeks :nerd_face: . For example, if “Employee 1” got 100 points on week 10 and 100 points on week 11, and the corresponding pair of weeks is week 10 and week 11, I would like to see the average of points of week 10 and week 11 in the same column Biweekly Points (even if by row is repeated). Here is the base I made: Right now, what I tried was to use Find and IF this way :face_with_monocle: : IF(FIND(Week,Biweek),AVERAGE({Points}),“NA”) But the problem is that this formula doesn´t show the average unless: **Biweek and Week have exactly the same information (for example both have W10-W11)* :fearful: *If Biweek and Week are both text columns :fearful: If I let Week column as a link and Biweek as a lookup of Week, the result of the formula is “NA” :we
