We are currently trying to move our hiring onboarding process to Airtable. In our company, we have a medical team (Nurses & Doctors), a health coaching team, a business/marketing team, and soon to be technology team. In a perfect world this is how I want the onboarding process to work:- First the prospect will fill a form out giving their basic information. (Phone number, address, email, desired job position, etc.)- Once the form is submitted, we can select hire or reject.- Once hired, Airtable will then take that prospect and insert them into the proper Job Specific/employment type onboarding checklist.- Onboarding a medical new hire will be vastly different than onboarding a new health coach as they require different technology and employment forms. Medical staff are typically full time and health coaches are part time. We also need to consider contractors who will fill out a W-9 inst

Inspired by this discussion, I wrote a script for the Scripting block that lets you instantly start and stop a virtual timer on any record, provided that the table is set up to work with this script. Aside from adding the script into a Scripting block, setup only requires three new fields: A single line text field, which will store the script’s timing data (used internally; may be hidden) A duration field, where the script will store the tracked time A button field, which must be set to trigger the Scripting block that contains the script. I suggest labeling this button “Start/Stop,” for reasons that you’ll see below. Use: Click the button once to start the “timer.” Click it again to stop it and see the duration. Need to continue timing on that same record? Click the button again to restart. The next click after that will tally the

Hey all,Having a request from a client I found a way to add image in our signatures for email we send using Gmail action in Airtable. Due to the fact that the image element is not included in Airtable's markdown list we can add it by adding a piece of html code in our action. Below is the code and the explanation of using it. </td><td width=96 valign=top> <div class=t102 style="display:inline-table;text-align:initial;vertical-align:inherit;width:48.97959%;max-width:96px;"> <table role=presentation width=100% cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 class=t104><tr> <td class=t105><div style="font-size:0px;"><img class=t106 style="display:block;border:0;height:auto;width:15%;Margin:0;max-width:25%;" width={image_width} height={image_height} src={image_public_url}></div></td>Comments abou

Hello everyone,I would like to build an automated job board in WP (Job pages > Airtable > WordPress). See attached architecture slide:https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/d9ftp9zanahokjusrp6a9/AutomatedJobBoard_Wordpress.pdf?rlkey=rf0g80txtb8r81y1c0tsvm87f&st=gymto6cf&dl=0 I have tried different plugins and applications like WP Job Manager for the Job board in WP, Make.com or Zapier for the integration Airtable in WP and/or Indeed Integration for the integration of Job page into Airtable. But nothing works fully:The biggest problem is that I can only post/update the variables in bulk for the jobs from Airtable into WP in the WP content section of a page/post.Does anyone have any ideas how to post/update different variables (cells) in Airtable to specific elements or b

Hello Airtable community! Let's talk about integrations. You need them because your business runs on too many different software systems that don't communicate with each other, so people end up working in data silos without a reliable source of truth (except of course, for Airtable). So each team ends up dealing with incomplete data or relying on inefficient and unreliable manual processes.So you're faced with either learning how to automate yourself in limited trigger/action recipes, or outsourcing complex and costly solutions to external consultants. In either case it's a bit like building an IKEA bedroom set without instructions. Or a dining room set, your preference! Anyway, there actually is another solution in the form of a code-free integra

Hi everyone,When using DocsAutomator, you can now group line items similarly to how records can be grouped inside of Airtable. Example for line items are grouped according to status: To learn more, please watch the demo here: https://youtu.be/rqxfuXcZuEw?si=AlN7fh8vyDEYvF3UWould love to hear your feedback and what you think!

I've saved myself countless hours repurposing helper data from other projects; so I've decided to start publishing them.Countries and Timezones in particular are great for adding some helpful context to a list of companies or staff – or just to help you time your email triggers better.I recommend using them as a synced view so that the timezones update through daylight savings.Enjoy!

Background information: We are a 25 person medical clinic. We are using Airtable to manage the business operations which consist of a medical team, health coaching team, marketing team, operations/sales team, and eventually a bigger technology team.As my company is growing, I am constantly looking for ways to structure my Airtable database more efficiently. This leads me to two questions.Should I build interfaces for employees to work out of instead of having them in the backend of Airtable?My next question is what are some tips to make Airtable more efficient in terms of keeping things user friendly and simple? Or things I should avoid?Overall, as we bring more people on the team, I want to limit the amount of confusion and overwhelming emotion that any new hires might experience in Airtable training.

I've been designing my own tabletop role-playing game for some time and have been using Airtable as the backbone for all the information in it.One particular element I've been enjoying is the ability to embed an Airtable into a flipbook. It makes for a very effective delivery of information in a modern way: Arq RPG Core Rules

I am working on a database, where I manage data of clients and their youtube channels. I am trying to develop a Finance report automation but for that facing challenges in setting up fields in my table.Currently I have theses tables:TABLE 1: YouTube Channels Table (attached to client table through client ID)Fields are:- Id (primary key, RECORDID())- Name of the channel- Channel id- Client id (foreign key)TABLE 2: YouTube Channel Earnings- Id (primary key, RECORDID())- Name of Channel (lookup field from YouTube Channels)- Channel id (lookup field from YouTube Channels)- client id (lookup field from YouTube Channels)- Date (Date field)- Month and Year (formula field, getting month and year from date field)- YouTube earnings for particular Month (currency field)- Tax Deduction (currency field)- Net Earnings (formula field, Ear

Hi everyone, I have an issue that randomly just started... Happening.Specifically, I use AT as a task manager for my team. Each team member's personal view is filtered like this:"{Owner is [name X]}OR{Status is Ready for QAAND QA is [name X]}"Both "Owner" and "QA" are user columns. Status is multiple choice.Now, this worked perfectly until last Friday. On Friday, the QA column started automatically populating all new records in the view. This means that as soon as I create a new record, my name is automatically added to the QA field, when I don't want it there. The Owner column works perfectly normally, i.e. not automatically populating with [name X].How do I fix this? It's important to keep the filter so everybody sees all their tasks and we don't miss stuff, and as I said, it worked well until last Friday. 😞 

Hello, all,Sort Stack, your prioritizing first mate, is a task management base that I released a little under a year ago. Since that initial launch, I've added several features to the base, a few of which I'd like to highlight below.Due to the somewhat ad hoc way that this base was developed, I don't have a formal change log, meaning that some of the highlighted features may be ones that you're already aware of, so apologies in advance for highlighting any features you've already heard of.New Feature HighlightsDay-of-the-Month Recurrence: For situations where you'd like a task to recur on a specific day of the month, such as the second-to-last day of the month. I added this feature because I needed support for such tasks when I was a team lead. More specifically, I needed the ability to create a task that repeated the second-to-last working day of each month. To implement this without introducing u

I work for a small non-profit and one of our programs is a homesharing effort. We try to match people with a spare room to rent with people who are looking to rent a room. I was hired about one year ago to "bring us into the 21st century." They had been tracking everything in Google Sheets and Forms and it was a mess.At first, we contemplated purchasing subscriptions to several types of data management companies, including something like Monday.com, a separate database for finances, another one for client/property management, and CRM. We got a tour of another homesharing group using Monday.com and the man who was leading the tour suggested that if he had it to do over again, he would just build his own using AirTable. I had never heard of AT at that point. But as soon as I began to explore it, I knew we'd be using AT for all of those things. In the last year, with a bit of paid help, I've built a base for our homeshare program, one for all of our contacts (that al

We're long user of Airtable, but the iOS application has long loading time, also there is no direct integration between Airtable and ChatGPT.To miss that gap, we made several iOS shortcuts.Save ChatGPT Answer to Airtable - Just start speaking out your question to the ChatGPT, our Shortcuts will send it to ChatGPT, and save both your question and GPT response to the Airtable. You can use it to ask GPT writing long marketing content and all of them will be saved into your base for post-process!Save AI Audio Notes – Our Shortcut will firstly transcribe your audio input, then post-process it with ChatGPT to let AI sort them into a well-formatted notes, both the note and original audio file will be saved to Airtable for your usage.

One of the best features of Airtable is the ability to drag images, files, and even videos (i.e., digital artefacts) right into an attachment field. When you do this, Airtable makes a copy of your image and stores metadata about the image into your base. It also quietly moves the copy of your image to its content delivery network (CDN). The URL to your image has been openly accessible providing a wonderful way to share access to your assets For almost eight years, this has been possible but that’s going to change in significant ways later this fall. Long Time Coming I predicted this would happen in 2019. They warned us then and they are giving you almost a year to make plans. A lot of folks complained
