I am probably overthinking this but I am new here and just want to start out using a basic monthly calendar to use for checking off tasks. Can someone direct me to what form to use? Thanks so much.

Hi! :wave: I am using the PUT version of the Airtable Update records API. I have four columns/fields, Name , Contact , Attachment Image & Active. Now I call the API to update just the Attachment Image column, with the below API body : It updates the Attachment Image field’s value successfully, but clears all other fields. The record snapshots (before and after) look like - Before - After - So, how can I make the API update that cell ONLY, and touch nothing else? I hope you understand my query - Any help is appreciated! :slightly_smiling_face: Thanks!

I’m trying to list all records using the Airtable API that have been updated in the last 24 hours. This job will run each day and check for the last modified column and if the date `IS_AFTER(TODAY()-1 DAY, TODAY()). I’m struggling with the syntax. Does anyone have any guidance on this?

Hey everybody! I’m starting development on a block for the hackathon – super exciting! I’m going to need to store a unique token for each user, because I’m going to need to do some OAuth in my block. I’m wondering the best approach to do this? I could store it in GlobalConfig, each token is accessible through the ID of the user, but I’m not sure about that. Any advice would be much appreciated! I noticed this is done the demo for blocks, by storing the Twilio ID and Secret, so I’m curious how it’s done there

Hello, I have a column that is called Contacts that lives in table Publications. In this column, each cell has one or multiple linked records that can be found in another table called Press & Media Contacts. A cell inside Contacts looks like this What I would like to do is to filter and select the rows that have a certain contact in, using the record id. The only way I could do this was to use filterByFormula and Name, not record id: "filterByFormula" => "FIND('Keith Shearin',Contacts)" What I would like to do is something like this: "filterByFormula" => "FIND('reclhWRUlh9q47Zfd',Contacts)" Where reclhWRUlh9q47Zfd is Keith Shearin record id. FIND is obviously not the proper way to do it since it finds a string inside a string. FIND(stringToFind, whereToSearch,[startFromPosition]))` Do you guys have any tips on how can I achieve this?

Can someone help me combine multiple roll-up fields into one? These fields are notes from another table. Instead of having multiple roll-up fields spreading across the projects table I’d like to combine them into 1 field. I’d like to add a “heading” of text in between each rollup to differentiate each note field. My current formula gives me an error. CONCATENATE("Incoming Request: " & {Incoming Request}& "\n" & "Contractor Notes: "{Contractor Notes}& "\n" &"Client Notes: " & {Client Notes}& "\n" &"Project Notes: " & {Project Notes}&"\n" &)

Are there any downside to enabling rich text in the long text field? Any implications for Zapier or Integromat integrations?

Hi, I need help with linking records with forms. I used this product last year to do exactly what I’m trying to do this year with no problems, but I am running into a problem now. I’m trying to make two different forms, and have information from the second form link to the first one. Specifically I would like the entrant’s email address to link to the first form. When I did this last year, the entrant had to fill out their email address on the second form, and then I went into the grid view and linked the records manually. This year, I can only find the option for the entrant to select their email address from the ones that are already listed on the first form. I’m using these forms for summer reading registration at the library where I work. We get about 700 kids registering every year. Allowing anyone with a link to the second form to see the email addresses of everyone who registered on the first form is not an option; it’s a giant invasion of privacy. Is there a way to link these f

Hi. Does anyone know if it’s possible to copy several attachments at once and then paste them across a select range of records in one go? Many thanks in advance! Katy

I am more familiar with join tables, SQL etc. I have 3 tables: “person”, “activity” and “activitylog” “activity log” is essentially a join table that stores the person ID and activity ID. I created two linked fields in the “activity log” table and AT created two fields for each: “ActivityID”, “ActivityID (From activity table)”, “personID”, and “PersonID (from person table”) I am updating the join table from Integromat and it works fine, but I don’t understand why AT creates two fields for a linked record? What I’m trying to accomplish: log all activities people do and issue rewards based on accomplishing ‘missions’ show me who has done what activities (and other aggregate reporting) This is super simple in my old world of SQL server stuff, but is there a reason why AT creates 2 fields, or am I not going about this the right way?

I like to integrate the airtable to my website and show it as announcement. I created api with POST. example https://sample.com/api/announcement I tried with zapier but i like to integrate within Airtable. please help me, Thanks in advance for your response.

Our system is setup in EST - however I’ve noticed that when I set up a view with a filter of “Xyz date and time is in 1 day” it shows GMT as the time zone. This is causing issues with emails sending too early - can someone tell me how this time zone can be adjusted? Thanks…

Hello there :slightly_smiling_face: I am using Integromat to import values from contact form to Airtable. In Airtable I have two tables Clients and Inquires and when contact form is submitted data is stored in both tables. I manage to set up Integromat to store data in new row in Inquiry and Client tab and to link records together. What I am trying to achieve is create new client tab only if the client with same email does not already exist. If there is a client record with same email, the inquiry should be linked to that record. Note; The primary field in Clients tab is “Client Name” and “Client email” is email field in Clients tab. The contact form does not have Name as required field and if name is not provided Integromat creates “Add name” linked record (This is the case in current scenario and it should remain that way if there is no client with existing email.) I would appreciate suggestions on how to achieve this. Thanks

The funny part is that when I change the data type in field in question from a formula to a plain decimal number - it all works! Does Airtable not support this kind of calculation when the primary field is a formula deriving data from another formula, or I am doing something wrong?

It would appear that the ‘Date’ field does not record seconds. Here’s why I think this: Here are the formulas I’m using to expose this: DATETIME_FORMAT({Date (no secs?)}, ‘DD-MM-YYYY h:mm:ss’) DATETIME_FORMAT({Created Time}, ‘DD-MM-YYYY h:mm:ss’) I hope I’m wrong about this. I need to be able to grab seconds from a ‘Date’ record.

Hi, As far as I can tell there isn’t an option to use a slider for entering numbers - or a way to set minimum and maximum. values. It doesn’t even look possible to have a slider for a percentage field. The only workaround I can think of for entering values quicky and having some kind of visual feedback of numbers is to use a rating field, but this obviously limits one to only 5 possible values, which is pretty limiting. This seems like a completely bizarre oversight in what otherwise seems like a really useful and excellent product - am I missing something? thanks, Josh

Today I’ve checked things about Developer Blocks SDK. Then I’ve apply to access SDK. But I don’t know how long it takes to approve my request or if I’m not eligible then can I request again?

I have a formula which looks for the string “geo” in my URL column {Cloaked Link} then display all text it finds after it. But sometimes I will have the text “visit” in the {Cloaked Link} URL column instead of “geo”, so if that’s the case I want to pull out all the text to the right of that string. How can I do that? Here’s what I have so far: RIGHT( {Cloaked Link}, LEN( {Cloaked Link} )-FIND( 'geo', {Cloaked Link} )-3 ) Basically I want to combine that with this: RIGHT( {Cloaked Link}, LEN( {Cloaked Link} )-FIND( 'visit', {Cloaked Link} )-3 )

I want my custom block to include a calendar with a similar look to Calendar views. Do custom blocks have access to whatever Calendar views use for calendars, perhaps a react package, or would I need to import another react package?

Hi! I want to add a formula that does the following: If “created on” is within the last week OR “revisit on” is today, then TRUE (i.e. check a box or write true in a text field). “Created on” and “revisit on” are both date fields. This way, I can better filter my view (my filter includes both “and” and “or” conditions, which is why I need to use a formula). Thank you!!

Hey Airtable Community. Does anyone know how to count how many entries are made on a particular date ie if I had 5 forms completed today and 4 yesterday I’d love a column to autocount. It would be amazing to count the week too. Each form is a lead and I want to set targets and automate my results. Help appreciated. Thank you!

Hi there, I want to keep my block UI consistent with Airtable’s branding where possible. I noticed ColorUtils.getHexForColor here and that seems like a reasonable, but slightly cumbersome solution. Is this the preferred way to use Airtable’s colors in our blocks, or is there a more direct way to say, set the background color to a standard Airtable color? Thanks! P.S it was a bit hard to find that method in the docs as you need to click on the “ColorUtils” tab in the Colors section first. I had expected a more direct way or a pointer on how to get the hex values directly on the colors main page :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi all, I have two spreadsheets - one is a project tracker, and the other is a task list linked to the project tracker. I have start and end dates on the task list spreadsheet. Is it possible to link those dates to the project tracker and have the project tracker “start date” be the earliest start date of the tasks linked to it and the “end date” be the latest end date of the tasks linked to it? I want to create a Gantt chart from the project tracker but I want the start and end dates to be dependent on the dates of the tasks linked to it. Thank you!!

Hi there. I want to create a base to track my receipts for warranty purposes. I can just insert the purchase date in a column and track it myself, but what I would like to do is when the entry is one year old change its status in a dropdown column from “current” to “expired”. Thanks
