Hi there!I need to send calendar invites by email automation to people I book for events. I'm using Make to create the calendar invite and upload it as a file in Airtable.Then, I'm using automations to send the .ics file as an email attachment to people I book for my events. They can then download it from their email and it creates a calendar invite for them. Everything seem to work just fine when I test things.However, I have two types of emails to send via automations : Initial invitation when I'm booking someone to an event :Triggered when the entry matches conditionsSends email with .ics attachmentThis one doesn't work and the error is 'An attachment url is disallowed' Updates (for when something changes such as the event duration) : Triggered when the entry is updatedSends emails with .ics attachmentWorks fine! Any idea why my initial email won't send? My guess is that it's because the trigger is too fast and the file hasn't completely uploaded to Airtable

Hello!I have a formula field set to format as a percent in the table. That field is then part of a linked record lookup field in a table that will trigger automation to send emails. I want to share that percentage in the email. However, when I use the lookup field in the body of the email, it only allows me to include the number as a decimal.  Is there a way to get this to show the percentage?The original formula field formatted as a percent:The lookup field settings:The automation's email token:The result in the email:Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! 

I am working on a database for a daycare. I have a table called Time Sheets with fields Arrival (date), Departure (date) and Duration (duration). (There are other fields in this table to link to each child.)I have a second table called Meals with fields Name, Start Time and End Time (currently they are all single line text). This table has 4 records:Breakfast, 7:30am, 8:35amMorning Snack, 10:30am, 11:00amLunch, 12:15pm, 12:45pmAfternoon Snack, 4:00pm, 4:30pmI want to determine if a child qualifies for each meal based on when they arrived and departed. If the child is present when each meal is served, they qualify. What is the best way to do this? I am still in the early building stages for this database, so if I need to reorganize tables and such, now is the time.Thanks in advance,Mr. Brad B.

We have formulas to check character counts and they're returning with "over character count" for long text that is actually not over character count because they're adding characters for line breaks. Is there a way to adjust the formula to not include line breaks as a character?For example, this would return 338:Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce ac magna volutpat, pretium arcu non, ullamcorper erat. Donec dictum eros in tellus elementum sollicitudin. Morbi sit amet justo purus. Phasellus interdum eros eu quam euismod, sed efficitur lorem fermentum. Sed neque metus, dapibus at sapien at, pellentesque placerat ipsum. But the same text with line breaks would return 342 and if the character count formula were set to 340, would show as over cc:Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.Fusce ac magna volutpat, pretium arcu non, ullamcorper erat.Donec dictum eros in tellus elementum sollicitudin. Morbi sit amet justo purus. Phasellus interdum eros eu

Hey all, I have a table which is a  synced report from Salesforce that shows me opportunities coming up for renewal. I also created a different table with the same fields but is populated from the Salesforce report "SFDC Renewals Report" via automation: When condition is met (opportunity ID is not empty) - then create record in the second table "AE<>RAE Worksheet". My issue is that we moved accounts around in Salesforce and now some accounts have a different Renewal Account Executive or Sales Person. I cannot figure out how to automate the update of that Renewal Account Executive field in the "AE<>RAE Worksheet" to match the one in the synced salesforce report.  Any help is greatly appreciated

I am trying to write a formula to return the name of the column for each rows highest value. Attached is what my table looks like. So for example the first row should return blue, and the second row should return purple. Thank you!

Greetings Airtable CommunityI have a long text field with RTF formatting enabled. The text includes links to web pages, emails, and phone numbers. The web links are working perfectly, as are the email links (using mailto:)—but the phone numbers are not working.When formatting the phone numbers, I did the following:1) Highlighted the phone number2) Clicked on the link icon3) Entered tel: and the number (+3606500000)But when I click on the link, I see that the system has inserted 'http://' in front of tel: and this takes me to a "can't open the page" error instead of initiating a phone call. The system hasn't inserted 'http://' in front mailto:Thanks in advance for suggesting a solution! 🙏

I have tried to sign up several times for Academy to get some training and understanding of Airtable.

Hello! I have had a colleague leave recently who made a form that links to data that gets submitted. However, I cannot locate the workspace the data is pulling into and cannot ask the colleague. Any tips?

Hiya!I'm trying to implement parts of Airtable's Project Management Template into a Project Management system for my organization. In the Getting Started section, it describes the "My Tasks" page as "a summary of the current user's work". I love that my team members will be able to quickly go to that page and see a summary detail of their current tasks. However - I can't figure out how to "auto-filter" the page.In the template it's set up as a page/group filter: Where {Assignee} contains "Malik Johnson". I know this is just an example filter in the template, but if I were to type a specific name in that filter, it would only show that person's tasks, regardless of which person is on the My Tasks page. Am I missing something? Is there a way to set up the filter as "assignee matches current user"?

Hello! In my Inventory Tracking table, I want to name each item as: #Order Date-Product-Supplier. Everything looks good in my form when I'm entering the info, with the date format as expected, but then in my "Name" function field, timezone is included as "T00:00:00.000Z" I've tried reformatting the date field, deleting and re-adding, hiding it - nothing works to remove this extraneous info... any ideas? Formula looks like: (((("#" & {Order Date}) & " - ") & Product) & " - ") & SupplierI'm brand new to AirTable and appreciate any help.

HelloI would like to know if it is possible to build an automation --> if Column B (Actual timeframe) changes and does not match with Column A (Initial timeframe), then the Column C (On time?) would change to YES or NO (single select option YES/NO)? Additionally, the actual timeframe value comes from Miro board. Thank you in advance! 

I'm new and have watched a lot of excellent tutorials that seems to indicate that I should be able to do what I want, but I wanted to ask the user-base to confirm, and perhaps to add any "to do that, do this" comments. I'm on the free plan, but if i can get this to work, I definitely want to upgrade to the paid plan and support the service, but I've been so bad about getting started on projects and then get distracted by some other shiny object and abandon it.  But this time I'm hoping it's different, as the product seems pretty simple to use.I help run a local makerspace, and we have members that pay dues to get access to our space that has tools and stuff.  People apply for membership, and our rotating board of directors (elected by the membership) approve the members.Currently, our process is:member sends google form to apply.the board members get an email, and they reply all with "aye" or "nay".If we get 2 "aye's",  I manually send an email to the prospect to tell th

I have uploaded images as attachments to about 250 records in a base. Each one uploads without issue and I’m able to see the preview in grid view and the full image in gallery view. I checked each attachment as it was uploaded. The problem is after the fact: now, about 25% of them are coming up as empty jpg icons in both views. When I attempt to open the image within an individual record, the same thing happens - a white box with the jpg icon and the file name. Any insight? I’ve tried refreshing the base, but to no avail…

I’ve had to do this quite a few times… my old solution was: Rollup with ARRAYUNIQUE(values) Remove any trailing ','s in another column Count the remaining commas, +1 Now I do it all inside the rollup with the following snippet: gist.github.com https://gist.github.com/RussellBishop/153d70be56ec5d8983439b6d9cf1279f airtable-count-unique-array-rollup IF((values), LEN( IF( FIND(",", ARRAYJOIN(ARRAYUNIQUE(values), ",")&"") = 1, SUBSTITUTE(ARRAYJOIN(ARRAYUNIQUE(values), ",")&"", ",", "", 1), IF( FIND(",", ARRAYJOIN(ARRAYUNIQUE(values), ",")&"", LEN(ARRAYJOIN(ARRAYUNIQUE(values), ",")&"") - 1), This file has been truncated. show original And yes - I’m keeping it as a Gist on GitHub for easy access. I’ll be adding more of these gems as I go.

Hi everyone. I am trying to set up an automation where when a diagnosis field for a trip in one table is updated it finds the corresponding person (that is connected) in another table and updates a diagnosis field in that table where only different diagnosis is entered. Attached is what I have started. It doesn't run. I tried adding a find records step but couldn't configure the condition (screen grab also attached). Suggestions please!

Hi, I use to have 1 data base for sales, delivered or not, but for some reason I thought It would be faster for searches and stuff to leave the delivered sales in anothe identical table. So I duplicated the table and erased the records that were "to deliver"in the delivered and "delivered" in the non delivered.It didn't worked as planed and now Im trying to go back, but I can't find the way.I just need to merge them back into one. Is there any simple way? ThanksJuan

Very new to AirTable and I'm working in a file created by someone else. Right now, I need to know how to move a row. (The data is in Alphabetical order, and one entry name has changed. I need to re-order it. I just want to drag the row to a different place but it doesn't work)Also, I have grouped the data but can't seem to UNgroup it! The chat bot said to unselect the grouping criteria, but there is no way to do that. Help!

The List interface allows for Grouping of fields within records - which makes it visually much easier for users when records have many fields.Is this available for other types?  I would like it on Record detail but cant make it work.Margaret  

Hi,Our process includes creating hundreds of Google Drive folders for client sharing during a year. This is now done manually, and I am looking at automating it if possible. Ideally a trigger in Airtable would the use some information identifying the client, create a Google Drive folder, make the access "Anyone with the link", fetch that link back to Airtable, and send out an email to the client.Alternatively, Airtable would be watching a specified Google Drive directory for creation of new directories, then initiate the process of changing access and pushing the link to Airtable.Any ideas?Rgds,BjörnPS. We use Zapier, so that is a viable option for us. For cost and maintenance reasons I'd like to avoid other 3rd party systems.

Hi,We need to collect longer testimonials (round one A4) from hundreds of clients during a year, process them (re-write and polish before publishing) and have the clients approve the edits.Ideally I would just create fields for this in Airtable (draft -> approve button -> final -> published), but to my understanding Airtable doesn't allow free user to edit anything sent out form the base. And forms are made to be one-to-many, not enabling a form per client to be sent out, non?We use Google Sheets so I somehow vaguely think this should be doable with some creative Sheets integrations, but I can't envision it concretely.Anybody out there who could see this clearly, what would be the elegant and robust way to do it?BjörnPS. We use Zapier also, so that is a viable option. For cost and maintenance reason I'd prefer not to use other third party systems.
