Hello, I am trying to use the “Update Google Doc” automation but I do not understand how to fill the “Content” section with the “Select field” option. I have created a google doc template with fields using the google add-on “Fillable Document”, but when I click on “select field” option in the Airtable automation, I do not see any field to select. Does anyone know how I have to set up my google doc template so that Airtble identifies fields from this file? Thank you Pascal

So I have a single Attachments field in a table that allows for multiple individual files to be attached to a record. I want to create another field that counts the number of files that have been uploaded/attached to that record. I then want to them pull this number into the primary field of the table to provide a quick way to see how many files have been attached to the record (e.g., 5 videos, 11 screenshots). However, the built-in ‘count’ formulas seem to be only counting the occurrence of an attachment for the record, not the number of individual files within the record; so as a result, it is only showing things as having 1 or 0 attachments, even though there are multiple individual files that have been attached to that record within the Attachments field. I came across an old thread about counting attachments (for some reason it’s preventing me from including the link here) but it seems outdated given the formulas now available, plus I could not get the formula to work at all. Any

I’ve attempted to follow the recommendations here to detect duplicates in a field but have not been successful and could use some expert eyes on what I’ve implemented. I did put a reply on that thread but since it’s a couple of years old, figured I should start my own question. Here are 2 screenshots from the 2 tables in play. Anyone see where I went wrong? TIA!

For those who can help, would you please let me know how to count the number of attached files in the Attachment Field in Airtable?

I have two tables:Key Source FormulaSourcesWithin the Key Source Formula table I have a field called URL FormatAn example entry is:   https://www.website.com/search/?q="Company"&t=weekIn the Sources table I have a value called Company Name Texte.g. Apple, which I want to substitute into the URL Format. This should return a result like:https://www.website.com/search/?q=Apple&t=weekThe SUBSTITUTE formula I have is:SUBSTITUTE({URL Format}, "Company", {Company Name Text})It returns #ERROR.I have even used the Airtable AI to write this formula and it doesn't work.Any help much appreciated

So I’m a real estate agent and I use Airtable to keep track of all my deals. I have one block for rentals. In rentals it’s very common for a prospective tenant to want to see all my current active listings. I typically have 40-60+ rentals at any given time, some times more. Right now, when people ask for my list, I ask for their search parameters, go through the entire list myself, then respond back with a few listings. The problem is I have 25-75 people reaching out a day and 40-60 listings, plus an entire buy/sell side of the business. It’s becoming impossibly time consuming. So when I heard about the ability to create a shareable link to my up-to-date database, I got really excited. Especially when I realized I could hide fields that are for internal use only and I do not want prospects to see. But then I realized the primary field is the address of the unit and there is no way to hide this (but it’s really important to hide addresses for a lot of use cases I won’t get into right no

I have been getting this very annoying bug where when I start editing on any interface page, the logo and header images on all of the overview pages across all of the interfaces in that base are automatically removed. Nearly every time I publish after making changes to one interface page, I have to reupload headers and logos to all overview pages. I hope developers can fix this soon!

I would like to use a link from Google Maps in an automatic Emil. every time the connection is rejected.

Hi All, Apologies if this is a question already answered. I want to create a IF formula that reads for a single select sell and alters a formula dependant on what the single select field says. For example- where Delivery Month is my single select cell =IF(OR(Delivery Month = "MARCH",Delivery Month = "APRIL",Delivery Month = "MAY"), (Cost*2*4)+8), IF(Delivery Month = "FEB", (Cost*2*6)+8, ))When i place above in, the cell accepts it, but no calculation is done and cell is left blank. I am unsure why as i have checked spelling and spaces in my single select cell Thanks in advance for your help

Hi all - I work on a team that manages contracts and all of our data lives in Airtable. We use Favro, however, to track cross-team work to resolve post-contract enrollment issues. I then create a new row in a "Post-Enrolled Issues" table of our base that is linked to the primary contract table so that we can maintain visibility on each contract's issues while also reporting on summaries in an interface view.Double data entry, however, is no bueno. I have played around with and considered transitioning from Favro to a kanban view in Airtable, but without going into detail, have decided not to pursue this further.I'm therefore wondering if anyone here has experience integrating Airtable and Favro? I did ask a colleague check it out and they said, "The biggest problem I’m having with Zapier is that it will only pull one field from Airtable and make a new card with that field as the card name, so it’s not any more efficient than doing it manually. I’m thinking we might have to get someone

I created a Kanban in an interface. When I click on an entry the detailed view opens. It would be nice if you had the option of leaving a checklist entry with an entry as information for yourself.I once tried a “multiple selection” but you can only predefine the entries.You could try with a text field, but it would be nicer with a checklist where you can create the entries in the detail view.

Hi i recorded a quick loom to explain my goal and problem: https://www.loom.com/share/984f3cc405a54ebb93cac3d861843570Here is the corresponding database:https://airtable.com/invite/l?inviteId=invBQZLlFEVSONEXd&inviteToken=e4487b2eb45a328e2e997098f1a864d581e116c9a89364c5754478aa6e8aed69&utm_medium=email&utm_source=product_team&utm_content=transactional-alertsWhat is the automation please?

Hi all,I've been running into an issue with an automation that I just can't seem to figure out; basically, I have one table which contains a date column (Reachout Tracking), along with a linked field to another table which contains contacts to whom I'm sending an email (Contact List).I'm trying to set up an automation where when I update the Date Sent column, it automatically updates another date column called Date of Last Reachout in the linked table: I know that something in the automation chain here is messed up, but here's the chain I have so far. It doesn't give me errors when testing but it also doesn't achieve the desired results:Any tips for how to successfully link and have this column update automatically would be HUGELY appreciated.Thanks!Patrick 

Is there a way to use automation to automatically store a document in the newly created data record for every newly created data record

Hello!!I have an automation I'm creating where I need it to do a "find record" based on email address. In table A, the email address is a lookup field so I created a formula field titled "email for automation" and simply told the formula to populate the information from the lookup field (as lookup fields cannot be used in the conditional setup of automations). However, when I go to validate my find record, I get "Invalid Input Error"Here are the details.Table A "Bonus Delivery"  Table B: "Webinar Registrants"I'd like the automation to do the following: When a new record is created in Bonus Delivery, find record in Webinar Registrants, and IF FOUND, Update Bonus Delivery Record with a check in the Webinar field (such as the first screenshot shows). Here's my automation:TRIGGER: When record is createdACTION: Find Record in Webinar Registrations Where {Email} contains {Email For Automation} (this is the formula field that populates the lookup record data)But in testing

Hi,I have an automation that looks at a view and adds every record in that view to the email and then sends it at 3pm every day.How do I stop the email from sending if there are no records in that view?

I have about 15 checkboxes in a form, I would like to output only the clicked checkboxes as text in email.Example:Check box “You need a driver’s license”If this is choppy, I would like to have the "title" as text in the email so that the customer knows what things they need.So far it only gives me "True".

Hi guys,Hey, guys,Please help me solve a problem - I have a table of tennis matches, which has fields Player 1 and Player 2, which are linked to another table Players. In the matches table next to the Player 1 and Player 2 fields, I want to add a single select field Winner, which will have only 2 values: Player 1 or Player 2.Is there a formula that will allow me to create a single select from the values of the neighboring fields?Thanks.

Hello community! I have 15 separate single select fields with the possible answers of: 1. Firsts2. Second3. Third4. No Preference 5. I do not select this UWC I would like to create the individual columns "First" "Second" "Third" "No preference" and have the answers filter into these columns (rather than having all 15 individual columns open). Does anyone have any script suggestions to make this possible? The 15 single select column titles are: - Atlantic, Changshu, Costa Rica, Dilijan, East Africa, ISAK, LPC, Maastricht, Mahindra, Mostar, Pearson, RCN, Thailand, USA, Waterford Kamhlaba  Esentially, if someone selects:- First: Atlantic- Second: Dilijan- Third: Costa Rica- I do not select this UWC: all other columns I want to be able to see the Atlantic in column "first", Dilijan in column "second" and Costa Rica in column "third" so I an hide the 15 individual columns but still see the information I need more succinctly. Any help wo

Hi all! I am attempting to utilize data from "Sheet A" (specifically item names and quantities) and SUM the "Quantity" in "Sheet B" when the "item name" from Sheet A matches the "item name" from Sheet B. Is this possible in Airtable? I've played around with a few different formulas and field types but none have successfully produced what I'm looking for. I've also created a grouped view in Sheet A that groups by Item Name and it shows the Sum in that view if that helps.If possible, I would prefer for it to be a clean formula/rollup/link/or just about any other method than manually looking up the info from one sheet and keying it into another. To clarify - all of this information is housed in one Base just multiple sheets.Any assistance is appreciated!  

Does anyone know of a way to duplicate a base while keeping the record ids the same?We are trying to set up a "staging" instance of our Airtable tables but we have references to the record ids outside of Airtable. This causes all of the references break because new records ids are generated when we duplicate the base.Is there any way around this?Thanks,Chris

I am looping through a list of people in a table and adding them to a multiselect linked field in another. I have found andimplemented the following code to update multiselects without deleting the records existing values.I have found that this only works IF the record contains a value. I get the following error:TypeError: record.getCellValue(...) is nullOnce I push a value into the record manually and then run the script it works great.I need to be able to push the FIRST instance into that field and then also add on top of that.Thanks in advance.// This script only works if there is already a value in People Link. In my loop I might need to updateadd up to 3 people into this record. How can I push the first one in and then run this after?What would my if look like? // table.updateRecordAsync(record, {   'People_Link': [       ...record.getCellValue('People_Link'),       { id: linkID} &n

I have been attempting to catch a hook in Zapier from a scripting app that I run daily. The content of the request is designed to capture some metrics from the actual running of the script. I have previously run caught a webhook from a scripting automation to Zapier with no issues. For some reason though, when trying to send a similar request through a scripting app I encounter a failed to fetch issue with some writing on CORS. My code is below, I removed the link within the fetch but it was just the link that Zapier provides within their catch hook step. var bodyContent = { "scriptName": script, "numOfRecs": numRecs, "elapsedTime": et, "recsPerSec": recsPerSecs } let request = await fetch('', { method: 'post', body: JSON.stringify(bodyContent), headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, }); This is the error that is happening when I attempt to perform this part of the script. Thank you for the help!

I would like to create an automation that reminds me by email 1 month before a date from a formula field. Unfortunately I can't change the value of a formula field to dynamic or say the date is within 1 month like I can with a real date field. that doesn't work.
