Hi guys,I'm relatively new to scripting, so I've mostly used scripts I find in this amazing community and adapted them to my tables. Once such script I've tweaked to create junction tables. It automatically creates entries in a junction table when a linked record field is updated. It has been working pretty well for a 5-6 months now, then all of a sudden earlier today, it started giving the error:ERRORTypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading '0')at main on line 38"Usually I can figure out what is going on and fix it, but this really has me stumped. I didn't touch the script today (I'm the only one who manages them). I took a snapshot of the base from this morning and the script works in that, so I tried to copy/paste the code from that to the live version, but it still didn't work. Which lead me to believe that has something to do with a change in the base, like a changed field or table name. So I thought, okay maybe someone accidentally changed a field name. Double chec

I’m trying to filter using linked records but i must have a mental block. Table A is People Records. it is linked to: Table B: Service Records (multi records) Table C: Congregation (one record) Table C is Congregation. It is linked to: Table D: Districts (one record) Note: it is NOT linked to Service Records, but does have a lookup field to Service Records (from People). Table D has lookup fields for: Service Records (from Congregations) I want to report the number of Districts that had at least one Congregation that has a Service Record that meets the following criteria:Service contains “2025 11” {Service is the “Name field”} Service does not contain “Cancelled” {Service is the “Name field”}I also want to report the number of Congregations that have a People Record with a Service Record that meets the same criteria.Service contains “2025 11” {Service is the “Name field”} Service does not contain “Cancelled” {Service is the “Name field”} The problem i’m running into is that some Pe

We all know about ChatGPT. It’s profoundly expanding the possibility of creating some very smart systems. Pervasive and near-free access to LLMs (large language models) inch us closer to AGI (artificial general intelligence), which can be applied to apps and data in several ways.Airtable, of course, is readily able to enjoy the benefits that services such as OpenAI provide to developers. Integrating the power of LLMs for text and code completion is almost trivial. These are magical capabilities, but they aren’t the only capabilities.Most AI experts and analysts agree - AI will become pervasive in all solutions, and the ones that create the greatest customer value will blend application data, user context, and LLMs to create extremely relevant and powerful outcomes.Rows That Have MeaningAirtable search is not a pleasant experience at all. The findability of discrete records in a table is terrible. Locating key data across multiple tables and bases is almost impossible. I have explored t

Hi all, I import CSV files with salary ranges.There are two fields from CSV: “Salary Min” & “Salary Max”. Their format is $75,000.00. I want to have them in one field ($75,000 - $100,000), so created a third field with the formula IF(  AND({Salary Min}, {Salary Max}),    "$" & {Salary Min} & " - $" & {Salary Max} & "/yr",    "") However,  I get “$75000 - $100000/yr”.I looked around and tried AT’s AI but so far luck.Is there a way I can resolve this? Thanks a lot 

I have a separate table for contacts, name, email, tel, address, etc. In the primary field, I enter the person’s name, eg. John Smith. Having read somewhere useful for the base design to have separate fields for a person’s name, I have added two fields immediately to the right of the primary, field name FN (for first name) and SN (for surname). Each field option Single Select. Which means that whenever I add a record in the primary field I also have to add the person’s first and surname separately to the respective fields. I sort on primary field and that suits my needs, as in the event not finding instantly does a filter or simple search. But unless there is some benefit to the database set-up evolution in having two separate fields for FN and SN I can’t see any advantage. Is there? and if so then what is it? tia

I have a table with a linked field to another table. The linked field refers back to the primary key of the table I am linking back to (eg a unique project number) but that is just numbers and it doesn’t mean anything to most users when searching. Is there any way I can have the linked field search for the name of the project rather than typing in the unique primary key to the record I want to link back to? I have added a lookup field but this only pulls in the project name field once I have linked back using the link field by entering the corresponding unique job number,

Hello! Currently for a school project (Software Development and Design) I am making a game in unity complete with an online highscores leaderboard through Airtable. The leaderboard side of the project is now done but I wanted to add a replay system to the game. Much like demo files from the old doom games my replay solution is a JSON array that contains the positions and rotations of the key game objects over the lifetime of the game. The file that is generated is only about 1mb in size and such shouldnt take very long to upload if sent with the rest of my run information (such as the players username and their time) The issue I have run into is that im getting an INVALID_REQUEST_BODY error every time i try to put the entire JSON string into a Long Text feild on airtable. I beleive this may be due to the fact that it is a JSON string inside the rest of the JSON request that is sent to irtable. Is there a way to isolate the string so that airtable doesnt try and parse this data? Alterna

Hello all, We have recently implemented Airtable on our team to account for hours worked by employees. To gather the information, I created a form in which they answer at the end of every work-day to take into account the actual hours worked. These answers feed a database that groups every reply by week/employee. In the database, I created a column of “Work-day” which is the employee’s weekly hours divided by 5 business days. This way, when they answer the form, I would have the daily overtime and then it would be grouped weekly and it would give me the weekly overtime.However, the team is mainly composed by part-time workers and that’s where it becomes tricky. We don’t really enforce a fixed start/finish hour, so a person who has a contract of 18 hours/week, may work only 2 days one week and then 5 days the next week, picture below.  What I would like for it to do, and that I wasn’t able to, is to calculate how much overtime (or time they didn’t work) they are doing per week, based of

I run a small non-profit and we use Airtable to track all of our donors/volunteers/etc. I want to do address labels for a mailing. We currently have the columns set up as First Name, Spouse Name, Last Name, Street Address, City, State, Zip. Is there an easy way to print labels from Airtable? If the best way is to export, then how do I get around that my columns are too specific (ie I need First, Spouse, Last name to be one line, and City, State, Zip to be one line). Thanks!

Hello everyone,I’ve created an Airtable to help manage pre-production workflows and am struggling to get what I think is a simple automation running; I’d like that when a record is assigned a contact person (The “Assigned?” field is “Yes”) and given an “Assignee” to carry out this task, that the status of that record be updated in the “Interviewees” table to “Contact Assigned.” This is the automation I’ve set up so far but no matter what I do, I keep getting the “Record does not exist” error.I can’t get it to update the status of the record within the “Interviewees” table. Now I’m wondering the problem lies in the fact that the record name or interviewee name is not the primary field in the ‘Interviewee contact status” table, but you can’t make a primary field a linked record. Is there any way to get around that or is that not the problem at all? Is this an automation problem or a table infrastructure problem? Thank you!

I’m looking at building an interface to streamline inputting some information but before I think about redesigning my current database I just want to check if it’s possible to create an interface that would allow information to be updated across multiple tables?Even more complicated, would it be possible for the interface to react live to automations? To try to give a bit of context I want to have a contract table where the top line contract information is kept - as part of this an automation creates different versions of a product linked to that contract in an editions table…Could an interface handle me entering the contract detail and then have the editions appear ready to be edited?  

I just added a new user as Portal Editor in a portal interface. Let’s call them {USERNAME}After they used the portal, Airtable upgraded their seat to Editor.(I am the only admin, and I know this upgrade was not done by me, so it was done by Airtable) The Admin panel lists the upgrade event as, “{USERNAME} made edits to Interface {INTERFACE}"Now, I know that {USERNAME} didn’t actually edit the interface, because they don’t have base access. And I know that portal editors are *supposed* to be able to change fields via the interface.So what the heck does the upgrade event “{USERNAME} made edits to Interface {INTERFACE}" mean? I can’t find this documented anywhere.Thanks for any insight,Natalka

Automation in AirtableI have a Donations table with the field Donor that contains a Single Line Text field with the donor name in it. I have a Summary table that is linked back to the Donations table using the Link Another Record filed with Allow Linking to Multiple Records to be selected. The linked field in the Summary table has a list of Donors from the Donations table. I want to automate the insertion of a new Donor name into the linked field in the summary table when I create a new record in the Donations table.It seems it should be straight froward but I keep running into a problem with figuring out what to select in the Actions section.Trigger = When a record is createdIn Actions:I choose Update Record I Put in a description so I don’t forget whY I did this. Action will run Always Under Table I choose summary table Under Record ID I copied the record id from the table from formula in table.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 SIGN-UP USING THIS LINK 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨Hey!!For the last few months the idea of running a Community Led Airtable Hackathon has been lingering in my head. When, how, and what is not clear at all to me yet, so I wanted to open up the discussion early on to make sure this is really community led.Brainstorming:Format: Virtual (for sure). Synchronous (everyone builds during a given time frame) or asynchronous (projects submitted over a few weeks). Themes: Specific theme (e.g. procurement, marketing ops, nonprofits, etc.), or leave it totally open to “build whatever you enjoy”? Why I think this could be fun: A chance to show off creativity. A way to learn from each other’s builds. An opportunity to meet new peers. A reason to push Airtable to its limits in unusual or inspiring ways (different to the day-to-day work we do for our clients or within our organizations).  Would love to get some input from the usual suspects here, and from any other Airtable enthusiast!​@Scott

I’m wondering how or if a Make or Zapier sync model can detect changes on field types that can’t trigger the ‘last modified’ field that the sync is based on. If no editable fields on the record are ever changed, would the sync detect changes on a rollup field?What’s a best practice way to achieve this?

Hello all, I'm looking for some help with a dynamic date filtering challenge in automations.I have a Social Media Metrics table where each record needs to link to all previous records for the same Contact/Platform combination, but only where Date Recorded is before the current record's date.The challenge: Airtable's Find Records action in automations doesn't support dynamic date comparisons (e.g., "Date Recorded < trigger record's Date Recorded"). This means I can't filter to only link previous records—it would link to all records including future ones.I've considered:Manual linking (works but not scalable) MIN/MAX rollup pattern with formula logic (works but still requires the linking step first) External tools like Make.com or scripting (viable but checking if there's a native solution first)Has anyone solved this elegantly within Airtable? Any creative workarounds I'm missing?Thanks in advance!

Hello all,I’d like to configure my Airtable so that when the category for a record is labeled ‘Uncategorized’ it automatically triggers a certain ‘Status’ label. I’ve been following this tutorial: https://support.airtable.com/docs/repeating-groups-of-automation-actionsBut I get stuck when I reach the last step for the action as I’m not sure what to put in ‘record ID.’ Every time I run it, it updates the same record, but I want it to search for all records that have been labeled ‘Uncategorized’ and update their status. How do I do this? Thank you! 

Creating a field agent to do a simple task. I want it to find some text in a document and copy it out. It’s doing great on the “finding” but being a bit too creative with the “copying”. Is there any way to set temperature for the model to 0? 

As of today, our airtable automations that react to action triggers of certain fields in not really large tables are incredibly slow and sometimes freeze, so we have to disable and re-enable the automation.In addition, navigation in the backend is tedious and slow.Our tables have a very manageable size, the largest tables have around 1500 rows.Since we also use Softr as a UI, we also notice very poor performance here.What can we do?Edit: To make the severity a little bit clearer: Action Trigger was set at 2:54 pm and the automation was finished on 3:49pm! It simple copies a row from Table A to Table B! 

CONTEXT: I am a Film and TV Producer (on a Pro (Legacy Team) account) with PEOPLE, COMPANIES and INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY bases that I sync (i.e. “push out”) as relevant to seed specific FREE client/project bases so a handful of (<5) different team members (respectively) can update content specific to their projects.EXAMPLE: I maintain box office data on movies, track streaming, broadcast and cable series ratings, statuses and talent (ShowRunners, Actors, Writers, Directors, etc.), actors’ bankability stats, everyone’s credits linked to their IP, who’s moved company-to-company in the relentless musical chairs and vertically integrated morphing and consolidating - it’s A LOT to track! LOL! :-)If I’ve done the deep dive of complicated music licensing research on a specific song - or have an actor’s whole suite of (also constantly evolving) reps’ contact info, I don’t want to have to keep manually updating that across a ton of different project bases. I USED to have this all syncing perfe

 This topic has been discussed a ton on this forum and people still have trouble with generating PDFs in Airtable. So this guide shows the different ways I generate clean PDFs from Airtable: Printing from Grid / Gallery / List / Calendar views Printing from Interfaces Page Designer (and where it breaks) Google Docs templating via Make Google Sheets templating for variable line items An HTML method. If you’ve ever struggled with invoice PDFs, long line items, or getting clean printable layouts out of Airtable, this might help.That last method is very powerful.

Hello the Community !I received a message informing me that I needed to upgrade my Airtable access. I assumed this was because I had reached one year of usage, so I proceeded with the payment of the requested USD 240.However, after logging into my account, all my databases disappeared. I can no longer access any of my bases, and I would like to know how I can recover them or regain access.Last year, I paid for Airtable with my personal email/account, and this year I made the payment using my professional email/account. Could this be the reason why I no longer see my databases?Thank you in advance for your help — this data is essential for my work, and I realy appreciate your support.Kind regards,Alexandre

Hello everyone,In short, I am trying to use an automation to combine multiple single select linked fields into a single multi select linked record.I have two bases: projects and team. Depending on the complexity and size of the project, there may be 5-15 resources assigned. We assign these resources through their own single select linked field so that we can utilize the timeline/utilization function. This makes doing things for the entire team complicated - such as creating a distribution list for the team members -  as we have to create a lookup field for each resource's email, another field to combine them, and another field to format it. I thought a simple automation could address this issue. It is pretty simple: when one of the 15 single select linked records is updated, it updates the multi select "team" field with all the assigned resources. I am running into two issues: 1)If I don't put a separator, then the multi select merges them all together (Instead of the field h

Is there any way to control the image sizes I get served from an Airtable Attachment field via API? My API docs tell me I can access “thumbnails” in sizes “small” (width 72 on one image), “large” (width 1024 on one image) and “full” (3000 on one image)… But… “full” is not a thumbnail at all, it’s the source image. “large” is too large. “small” is just too small. It feels like there’s a missing middle size here. But it’s not supplied. Is there any way to constrain the size of an output image?
