How would I create an automation that whenever a record is created it should generate a PDF from my page designer extension, and place it in an attachment field - in that record.

Hey guys!!Just figured out this is new and super cool (see screenshot below).

Was this released some days ago and I didn’t realize? Mike, Consultant @ Automatic Nation YouTube Channel

Hi all! I am wondering how one might create fully dynamic filtering of linked records in a single field in a conditional form in Softr.My boss had designed a database for a client with separate fields for different linked records for different user attributes. For example, we had a user attributes table that spanned age range, income, demographics, etc. To make each option in these categories show up only for specific fields, he disaggregated them into their own fields on a user, allowing an individual to use Softr and make selections exclusive to the attribute type. For example, salary ranges would only show up in the income field, racial information on demographics, etc.Now, we want to move all the attributes into one field and filter by the attribute type, so have all the options in one field and have it look into the linked record to filter by category. 30-40k (category: income level) next to Asian American (category: demographics) next to Works in service category: job experience)

Hi everyone,I’m currently working with a group of teachers in Mexico who use the fone morelos to access their monthly payslips. We’re exploring ways to use Airtable to better organize and manage this payroll information in a clean and automated format.Has anyone here built a workflow in Airtable to upload, categorize, and summarize recurring PDF documents like payslips? Ideally, we’d like to extract key details (dates, amounts, etc.) and display summaries by month or year.Any tips, templates, or automation tools that might help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I’m on a team plan and have exhausted my AI Credits, weirdly they seemed to reset ahead of the end of month which is unfortunate, but separate from that when I go to buy a pack of credits it won’t let me. I’m now stuck with work I was trying to get done and am left unable to continue the analysis because it won’t let me upgrade. Can someone advise as to why my credits reset at a random time and how I can go about adding more.

Hey Airtable fam,I'm trying to build a deal flow CRM in Airtable, and I'm looking for a way to automatically pull investor data from Pitchbook into my base. I'm currently doing it manually but it drains my time.I'm wondering if anyone has found a good way to automate this process. I've been looking at a tool called the Pitchbook Investors Scraper on Apify, which seems like it could work, but I'm curious if there are any other solutions out there.I'd love to hear how you're using Airtable to manage your deal flow and any tips you have for automating the data entry process. Thanks!

Hello all,I'm working on an automation that was working prior. Now when i changed fields on other tables (added lookups and notes that are not in automation) that were affecting it stopped working.I was working on a backup and I restored it back to normal and still not working.After running some test I see that the first step that is create record its not populating, therefore when I link back to that record it doesn't recognize it. None of those fields were changed but I did add lookups to that table and deleted a few fields that weren't necessary.I went back to revision history to see if I'm missing something but everything seems to be the same and now I cant link records. don't know what to do.Also the webpage asked me to refresh several times.The testing was working on the main CRM and when it stopped working on the backup it stopped working on the main as well (where I wasn't working at the moment)Please help me!This project is really important to me since this will be the backbon

After extensive searching, I’ve confirmed that rollup functions do not support finding the mode of the values in the rollup field. I can’t be the only person who has come across this need, so I’d love to know what methods are available without using a 3rd party app. I’m not opposed to an automation, but would rather it be as simple and without the need for scripting if possible.

Should i sort it in  notion?] 

I would love to sync Airtable and ChatGPT w/ the new integration but I can’t find any details on security for this and how data is used. Any one able to give insight?

Ok, so last year I posted this Airtable Crhistmas Whishlist: Guess what... It seems Airtable did hear me out (in part)!!!!❌ Parent/Child Forms: We still cannot create records in multiple tables, and have them linked together, through Airtable Native forms. ✅ Smarter Automations: Conditional logic AND loopis in a single automation has been silently released some days ago. ❌ Nested Loops (repeating groups) in automations: Not yet. We can only have one repeating group per automation (however, nested conditional logic was actually released!) ✅ Higher Automation Limits: Even if not self-served, Airtable was kind enough to increase the automation limit for a few of my Clients (enterprise accounts)What is THE feature that would really make your year in 2026?On my side, I’m still pushing for Parent/Child forms.Record count increase (+500k on enterprise accounts) will for sure be on my list as well.Happy holidays for everybody in this great Community 🎅🎅🎅🎅 :D​@ScottWorld ​@Erica_Pascual ​@Di

My team recently inherited responsibly for the admin of an 850 seat Airtable enterprise license.We’re not an IT team; we’re just enthusiastic end users of Airtable, so we’re new to being admins.My question: is it possible to determine who gave out an editor license?When I go into the admin panel and hover over someone who was just upgraded, I get messages like:“[user name] was Editor on base [base name] on [date]” “[user name] was Creator on base [base name] on [date]” “[user name] made edits to workspace [workspace name] on [date]Is this telling me their last activity in Airtable?Is there a way to figure out who gave out the editor license they’re using?Thanks

I have 3 tabs. Tabs 1 and 2 are two batches of records. How do I select records from tab 1 and 2 where status is x, to populate tab 3. Then when I update a record in tab 3, I want the original record fields in tab 1 or 2 updated with status or other field updates and comments in the record in tab 3.

Team, subscribed to Airtable a month back. Created a workspace called “Rohit”, created two bases - “Sales Pipeline” and “Open item tracker”. Now Sales Pipeline base is completely gone. Can’t find anything. Was working on other things like importing data, building AI etc for a large excel database i have. But pls advise how can i retrieve my base “Sales Pipeline”

Was adding leads to a dbase and chugging along. Next thing I know, AirTable stops accepting any inputs. Checked my wifi, logged out and back in. Anyone have a similar issue? Any suggestions, tips or hints would be welcomed.  

Hi everyone!I just tried Day 3 of the 12 Days of AI Plays, focusing on AI-powered app generation with Omni. I picked Educational Toys as my category, and Omni suggested a complete new Airtable app/base with tables for Materials, Production Steps, Inventory, and Quality Checks, plus smart relationships between them.The suggested automations for stock tracking and notifications were a game-changer compared to our existing Toy Workshop setup. I also loved the example records — they made it super easy to visualize the workflow.It’s amazing to see how AI can help draft data models, prototype workflows, and improve existing bases so quickly.I’d love to hear how others approached their toy category and what clever automations or relationships Omni suggested. Let’s share ideas and inspiration!

I’m working on an interface that is all connected to Property Projects through the Record Picker. I’m trying to create elements that pull data from the subject property through the Record Picker. For example, I’m creating a Comps element. However, I need the comps to pull only from the Property selected in the Record Picker. It’s prompting me to create a condition, however, I don’t have the Record Picker as an option. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance! 

Hi, I’m new to Airtable and have been working on this for 24 hours straight. I tried hard to find a Discord server for it, but sadly, there isn’t one.The main point is: I want to display a single piece of data alongside a bar chart in the interface. I keep getting confused about how to do it. Even ChatGPT misunderstands the issue as something related to login and doesn’t provide exact guidance. So, could someone kindly help me with this?

Hello everyone,Does anybody know a good resource or place where I can find examples of professionally built Airtables across various industries, preferably ones that I can interact with and explore?I feel like seeing examples of what other people have done will help me become a better builder and guide my own future designs. Thanks!
