Hi everyone!

I’ve just launched a new Airtable extension called Text Cleanup Tools on the marketplace, and I’d love to get some feedback from the community.

It’s designed to make bulk text manipulation simple - things like:

  • Capitalisation / title case

  • Find + replace

  • Adding prefixes/suffixes

  • Whitespace cleanup

  • URL slug generation + URL encoding …plus a bunch of other handy utilities.

A couple of nice quality-of-life features I’m proud of:

  • Full undo/redo support

  • Live preview before you commit changes

We’ve been using it internally for a while and it’s already saved us a heap of time, but I’d really appreciate feedback from other real world users. Things we might be missing, workflows we haven’t thought of, or edge cases we should support.

You can find it here:
https://airtable.com/marketplace/blkhN5rtH7lR6D7q6/text-cleanup-tools

There’s a generous free tier (I hope!), but as a thanks for any feedback in advance, here’s a coupon that unlocks the pro features for free: IWMJM1NA (currently for the first 5 redeemers).

Would love to hear what you think!

Phil.

          This does look phenomenal, but I hesitate with giving the developer access to my data.  Any way around that?

          Wow it is a great tool, I do not need to “export → cleanup → import” anymore..

           

          ​@dmagyears Just create a new base/table, ask Omni to fill it with random data that might include problematic strings (like the ones in your original base/data), install this extension on that base, and try it.

            Thanks, will do to verify it's functionality. 

            But I see the message when installing that I would be agreeing developer access to potentially all the data in a base, which I'm uncomfortable with. 

            I wonder if there's some way the extension would ringfence access to just the bits I ask it to modify.

            I hear you...

            Airtable extensions are add-ons that run on top of your base to give you extra functionality. They :

            - Connect directly to your base’s data via Airtable’s internal API
            - Run inside Airtable’s UI (in the Extensions panel)
            - Update in real time as your data changes

            They usually don’t copy your data somewhere else, you can verify it by opening the developer panel in your browser and looking at the Network tab.

              Hey everyone! Glad you like it!

               

              ​@dmagyears - I just want to confirm for you that I have absolutely no access to your data when you install this extension. All of the processing happens in your own browser - nothing gets sent to a server anywhere.

              As part of the extension release process, airtable does a full audit of the code, so please rest easy that your data is safe!
