Hey all, Long time coda.io user switching over to airtable as my business grows. A key feature I love is the ease of building UI’s over the top of the databases. I’ve done some research but haven’t been able to come up with an answer. Using softr.io, stacker or any other alternative… can you have an ‘embeded’ table where the data can be changed. Basically, I want the full functionality of the airtable ‘table’ / ‘view’ to be in a client portal, a long with other items such as invoices etc./ Thanks in advance,

When adding data to Airtable records using Softr, I encounter a significant delay of around 4-5 minutes for the data to appear upon refresh if the records contain foreign keys referencing another table. This delay contrasts sharply with the immediate addition and display of data when records are added to a normal table without foreign key references. The presence of foreign keys seems to introduce a lag in the synchronization or processing time, leading to a noticeable delay before the updated data is visible. This issue may be attributed to the additional steps required to validate and integrate the foreign key relationships within the database, causing a slower response time compared to simple table updates.

I have an automation that is sending a Google Doc link via gmail. But when the link sends, an underscore is left out somehow, so the link doesn't work. Any idea why? Or is there some kind of work around?This is how the link is showing up when it gets emailed:this is what the message looks like in the automation :  This is how the formula looks that is making  the g drive certificate link-- the link shows up fine in the airtable. "https://docs.google.com/document/d/" & {📜Certificate Google Doc ID}& "/edit?usp=drivesdk"The broken link seems to happen only when the google doc ID has an underscore in it.

I support an organization fundraising in a variety of currencies (USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, ILS). To simplify the process for the person maintaining the list, I have a single number field for the donation amount and a single linked field to select the appropriate currency (this is opposed to having 5-6 different currency fields on the intake form and needing to choose the correct currency field each time). We found that it was easier and faster to use a linked filed as opposed to a single select for currency.I would like to keep a running total of all the donations' values in both USD and EUR so I can use rollup fields to display overall amounts on a dashboard (i.e. my 100 donations in a variety of currencies are worth a total of USD 10,000 or EUR 9,500).Exchange rates are "static" in that if on the day of the donation, the ILS:USD rate is 4:1, it should stay calculated at that rate forever, even if in a year from now the rate is different. Exchange rates will be updated once a year based on

Hello All! I was wondering if anyone could explain in more detail how the sync feature works in relation to payment plans. We recently upgraded one of our workspaces to a team plan, and were looking at ways to have more users as read-only. I wanted to see if the Workspace with the Teams plan could operate as a large data repository, across departments and functions. and then have specific views feed into other workspaces. (i.e. A central place for customer data with a wide variety of customer types, and needs) Then the Teams workspace can handle automations, and large numbers of records, while the free workspaces are synced with a subset of the data. I attempted to sync from the Teams workspace to an unpaid one, and it said that it wouldn't work. But it seems to have synced anyway but may just not be updating. Please let me know if this is a viable option, or would there be an automation to automatically push any changes made to the Synced non-Teams Workspaces.&nbsp

Hi all - I’m trying to run an automation using a 3rd party Webhook. When a new Post is sent live, or updated, in my WordPress site I want to send various bits of info about that Post to AirTable. Everything works fine when I use ‘Create Record’ (so I know the webhook works) but obviously if I update the Post at any point it just adds it as a duplicate. So what I want to do is use Update Record instead (I think?). When a new Post is created, add it to AT, if that post is updated, update the record in AT. However - my understanding from this post Update record action failing (error: received invalid inputs.) - #3 by Brian_Nana-Sinkam, given what @Kamille_Parks says, is that I can’t use a Record ID from my Webhook e.g. Post_GUID. I need to use the AT Record ID. Which I don’t have available it seems. Is the only way around this to run the script that Kamille posted or am I missing something? Seems like a weird ‘feature’ if AT designed things this way, so I’m hoping I’m misunderstanding so

I'm not sure if I'm looking for a formula or if what I'm wanting is even possible, so this is just a general question about utilizing the progress functionality for percent fields.What I'm hoping to accomplish is a percent field, set to view as progress, that updates based on the progress between two date fields. So for example, if date 1 (0%) is January 1st, 2024 and date 2 (100%) is December 31st, 2024, I'm wanting the percent progress to update as the year progresses to show as it gets closer to date 2.The progress function is great but if it were able to automatically update for tasks that have start/end dates that would make it all the more powerful. Is this possible?

Hello - I need to calculate a date, in certain circumstances, that is 75 days out from another date in my table. I’m using this formula:SWITCH({S/N}, 'no', DATEADD(DOB, 75, 'days'), 'NOW',DATEADD(DOB, 75, 'days'),'NA')which calculates correctly, but includes a time stamp in the results (2024-07-24T00:00:00.000Z). What do I need to do to my formula to get the date only, in mm-dd-yyyy format? My apologies if this is covered somewhere else. I’m not finding exactly what I need in the guides or past posts to this forum.Thanks,Susan

I have a field that has a ton of linked records and I'm trying to format that into a nice list for use in the Pages extension.  It's generally coming through with commas and quotation marks separating it.  I found this formula in another thread, which seems to remove the opening quote marks, but not subsequent. IF(LEFT({Marketing Tactic - Detail}, 1) = '"',SUBSTITUTE(MID({Marketing Tactic - Detail}, 2, LEN({Marketing Tactic - Detail}) - 2),'""','"'),{Marketing Tactic - Detail}) I'm trying to format something like this:"Digital Signage (BOH) - TVs installed to reach branch salespeople in lunch rooms, warehouses and other strategic locations.

Hi!Two formula questions - I have (4) different date fields with timestamps and need to identify the latest date across the four fields. When doing a Max value, it does not bring in the timestamp or makes it 12:00a as a standard. I also have (2) date fields that I need to calculate the datediff in hours and leaving the field blank if the second date field is empty instead of the NaN.Please help! Thank you 🙂

When mapping a WordPress CF7 with airtable, Airtable allows Contact Form 7 to write into the field Email if it's an "Email" field-type, but not if i convert it to a linked table.I would like that the field "Email" inside of the table Messages links to a table named Email, where Email is the PK. Like this we'll be able to see all related messages.Unfortunately CF7 outputs an error with this setup. Is it there a workaround? Or should be build an airtable automation that reads the contact form user input that goes into the (unlinked) Email field and updates another field named LinkedEmail?So, either CF7 links messages to the Emails table, or we will have to auto-link using an automation.What's your opinion on that?

I have a somewhat complicated formula I wish to create, and as a formula n00b, I don't know where to start. Here's the problem I'm trying to solve:1. I have a series of tags I enter into a single text field, where each tag is separated by a comma. I have two conditions to meet before I list a product with the tags, otherwise, the Make.com automation won't work, and I'll have to spend a fair amount of time deleting a partially created listing and re-editing the record in Airtable. These conditions are 1) I can't have more than 13 CSV tags in the field, and 2) I can't have any duplicate tags.2) I would like to create a formula that displays an ❌ in the formula field if the tags CSV field has more than 13 tags AND/OR duplicate tags. If both conditions are met, display a ✅.Thanks in advance to all the formula wizards out there willing to help! 

I'm trying to use the options from a single select field as an 'input' selection in my script. I'm not sure if Airtable allows this. So far I have: let selectTable = base.getTable("Courses"); let selectField = selectTable.getField('School Year'); let schoolYears = selectField.options.choices; console.log(schoolYears) Which provides Then I make an array from just the names: let yearNames = schoolYears.map(record => ({name: record.name})) console.log(yearNames) Which gives:I'd like to then use those choices as an input: let selectYear = await input.buttonsAsync('Pick a year', [yearNames]); But this gives an error that you need a string. Would this be possible to use? It seems to want a full object literal list and not a variable like this. 

Hi all--We are a publishing company and we sometimes publish the same content multiple times throughout the year. We have a field set up "Publish Date" that shows all of the dates. The problem is when I try to have these feed into our general publishing calendar view, I can either only choose between the Minimum date (the first date) or the Maximum date (the last one), I can't figure out how to show both dates on the calendar (without having it span across the entire time in between the two dates). Is there possibly a way to separate the dates into separate entries and enter them into the calendar that way? Thanks in advance!

So Im pretty new to Airtable and not sure if I am going about this the right way and wonder if someone can point me in the right direction if not. Basically I am trying to use a multi select option to calculate the Extra costs involved in a job with solar installations which I have a field named Extras. So lets just say I have an option of installing on a tile roof which costs an extra 50 which I have added using the formulas below in a separate field called Extras Total.  IF(FIND('Tile Roof', Extras),50) +IF(FIND('3 phase', Extras),200) +IF(FIND('Solar Hot Water Removal', Extras),800) +IF(FIND('Optimiser', Extras),100) +IF(FIND('Panel Removal', Extras),20)  Where I am having trouble is with panel removal and optimisers there may be more than 1 panel or optimiser so is there a way that I can add multiple amounts to these particular options. My only thought would be to add multi options for each one e.g 1 panel removal, 2 panel removal, 3 panel removal etc. But this way w

Hello! Apologies if this is already solved or discuss or I am just missing something obvious. I am trying to create a button on an interface that does the following: Run an automation that has a custom script, create a new record in a different table, and then navigate the user to different section of the Interface. I don't see any automation actions that would navigate the user. I do see that a button can be used on its own to navigate the user to a different section of the interface, but I don't see any way to combine these methods into one swift action. Is something like this possible? Thank you in advance for your help! James 

I use the found records automation to create my report and the date is in the correct format, her DoB is 10th JulyBut when I add this as a grid of records to the Send an Email automation, the DoB shows as 7/10/1953 i.e. 7th October.and this is what arrives in the recipient's email.   

I am trying to add an AND statement to this formula:IF(     {Date Received} = "",     "Unsure of due date",     IF(        DATETIME_FORMAT({Date Received}, 'MM/DD') = DATETIME_FORMAT(DATEADD(NOW(), -14, 'day'), 'MM/DD'),        "TRUE",        "No match"   ))The AND statement I want to be if a cell does not equal a certain value from a dropdown. So I think on its own, the and statement should be something like:{Status} != "MoveOn"I just can't figure out where to put each piece and how to close the parentheses. The screenshot is my table without the AND part of the formula.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey all! Im currently using the Project Management template airtable has provided to track our engineering projects. Id like to remain using this template as it has some functions built in to show progress of each project, and using the predefined fields they display nicely in Gantt view. This is done by linking records from the Tasks table (each record is a task).The template has a table for Projects, and a secondary table with all the Tasks.In our case, every engineering project has the exact same set of tasks, so it wouldn't make sense to keep adding redundant tasks over and over to the Tasks table in order to set up the differing deadlines. I would rather create a new table listing all the tasks for one project, and duplicate the said table and rename for other projects.  The problem with this is that in the Projects table, I can only link to records from one other table, hence the connected formula fields can only show progress of one project. Im not sure how I

I have a set of Businesses on Table A and a Form that will create a new User for Table B. I want a User to search through the Businesses using an Interface, click on a button from a specific Business record, and then be able to fill out a form that will create a new User record on Table B that is linked to a Business on Table A. (Does that makes sense?)Is there a way to do this in one step? I see where I can "Go to external URL" to launch the New User form, but is there a way to simultaneously copy the Business record information as I launch the new User form? Is there a better way to think about this?Automations make the most sense because I can only select one button Action, but is there a way to launch a Form via Automations?

Hi, I have problem that synced table missing data. I have one Master base and second base where is synced data from Master base. Today I found that one specific record missing value from Master base (not sure right now If I have more records that are missing data, because I have almost 4k records and 20+tables in Airtable Master base and many many linked to another records fields 🙄I already created a bug ticket to support but no answer so far (time difference etc)Is anyone having the same issue with linked to another record field? I found that in January some users had the same problem.It is must be feature for our company because the data should end up on Wordpress eventually (like prices etc)picture in attachment

Hello everyone, In Germany, there is a regulation in the Occupational Health and Safety Act that states workers who work between 11 PM and 6 AM receive an additional allowance on their salary. This involves a complex formula, which even ChatGPT struggles with. Maybe there is someone here who is smarter than AI.My table includes a date field including time field named {Start} and a date field including time field named {End}. I want a formula that calculates the hours/minutes that fall within the period from 11 PM to 6 AM.Example: Max starts his shift at 8 PM and works until 4 AM. The formula should now calculate 5 hours.Can someone help me?

Hello,I have weird behavior when sending a webhook.For this project, I am working on a free airtable space. So I can't use scripts.This is a table in which I have large images. I want to reduce them (basically, go from 3-4 MB to 150 KB).I have a Make scenario which is fine except that it receives the duplicate webhook and therefore triggers twice.In Airtable, I have an automation that will copy a webhook into an attachment field to launch the webhookthe trigger: when the “Image” field is updatedthe webhook: a formula = WH Make & record ID Airtable & a timestamp of the modified las (without the timestamp, the WH is always identical and Airtable only triggers it the first time)When I modify the image, the autom airtable only fires once, but Make receives 2 webhooksAnyone have any idea why? (and a solution)
