Hi all,I have written a guide showcasing a quick and easy way to have a chat with a GPT chat bot (Perplexity) about live Airtable data. Check it out!https://www.csvgetter.com/blog/enable-airtable-ai-analysis-with-perplexityLet me know what you think.

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner, but Airtable is a perfect platform if you want to set up a simple message board for a team of people. I built this interface to do just that.You can post messages, reply to conversations and edit your own messages. One automation and a few tweaks to the settings and you can allow users to edit or delete their own messages, but only reply to those posted by others. Conversations are added to an ongoing "log" with each message so you can easily keep up with any discussions.

Hi there! If you love to keep track of your plants, landscaping, or gardening, this database might help you out! This base includes all the plants we used to landscape around our home. It includes a gorgeous Gallery view of all your flowers and shrubs. ​I took a picture after each flower and plant was in the ground. The best part was I did it all on my phone using the app. ​Fields included are: Plant Name Season Type Plant Type Plant Picture Area Planted Instructions Image Sun Watering Notes Date Planted Record Created Date Plant Status ​ I’ll be adding more info in blog posts soon.

Hello all,I have 2 different bases one for Employees and one for Equipment.  I have synced the Employee table to the Equipment table to assign Employees to different pieces of equipment linked to the sync data.  I see the new fields in the synced table in the Equipment base, but I don't see the Equipment showing up on the Employee base.How do I get it to sync back to the original base? and show in other tables that based is synced to.Thank you in advance for all your help.

Hello, In my Airtable's "PEOPLE" Table, we stored many people's name records—more than 15,500 records. I aimed to identify those name records whose spelling is the same as any particular person's name. I developed the following scripting codes using the Scripting Extension in Airtable. When I tested it with another table with a small number of name records, less than 10, it worked well. However, when testing the code with a table with many people's names, the script's running was not complete. This issue could be related to the large number of records in the Table. Please note the following regarding my "PEOPLE" Table: 1) Table name: PEOPLE, 2. Primary field name: English Name, and 3. "Duplicate Name" is a checkbox field, which means if a tick is created for any name, that name has more than one record. Please see my scripting codes below://Read our tablevar table = base.getTable('PEOPLE');var query = await table.selectRecordsAsync();//Identify

Posting this in case this can help anyone solve an issue or in case there is anyone who can think of how to do it better. I was asked to create a corporate event calendar that housed all 5 corporate event calendars in a single base and included 3 specific items:Enforce all event times have a time zone of PSTAllow easy All Day or Continuous All Day MeetingsCreate recurring events that can be created daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Additionally there was a caveat that one calendar type needed to include weekends while the others did notTo solve for this I created a single table called Internal Calendars and included the following fields:Event Occurrence - Single Select that allows the user to pick the type of scheduling for their event(s): All Day, Continuous All Day, Conference Event, Recurring Event and HolidayStart Day - Date field used to select the date an event will start.

Good day Airtable Community,Are we expecting any maintenance issues / downtime during the Christmas season? So that I can set my expectations on what will happen for next week? Thanks

Hey there Community, happy December! If you're anything like me, you love a good resource. Anything from my favorite recipe, "how-tos" for my home or tips for my yoga and meditation practice, I love to bookmark and squirrel things away in folders for when I'll need them in the future.  This is especially true for work. I'm constantly saving bookmarks in my browser, categorized into folders according to the platform, app, strategy, etc. And I refer back to them time and time again. This got me thinking... you all probably have Airtable Community threads that you refer back to, and I'd like to open up this space for you all to share! Whether its a solution that you personally sought out by posting a question of your own, or you stumbled upon a discussion from a year ago that helped solve your use case, comment directly to this thread to share it with others! This can also be an

On the 5th, I’ll be leading a workshop for leaders of international schools. The focus is on developing in-house applications, particularly using platforms like Airtable and Softr, to enhance school operations. I’m reaching out to gather insights on best practices from outside the education sector.Could you share any resources or case studies of companies that have successfully utilized Airtable and Softr to streamline their operations? Examples where these tools have enabled organizations to concentrate more effectively on crucial aspects of their mission, rather than being bogged down by operational inefficiencies, would be extremely valuable. Insights into how these platforms have been adapted to meet specific operational needs, rather than relying on generic, ill-fitting solutions, would be particularly beneficial for my presentation.Your contributions would be greatly appreciated and incredibly helpful in enriching the workshop. Thank you!

We have a grid view generated, which shows us the percentage per column (it is a room occupancy rate).We would like to get a total occupancy rate per time period calculated. But we have no idea, how to approach it.Does anyone has an idea how to do it?   

Hello, i'my trying to compare efficiency of real-time project durations to theoric template durations. Projects are linked to tasks and tasks templates ;-> total duration of a project = sum of the duration of each task-> duration objective (efficiency) of a project = sum of the task duration objectivesIn each project, Im trying to lookup the tasks theoric duration and sum it up to compare it to the actual project duration. I'm doing this this way : - I link projects to tasks- Each task is linked to a ''task template''- I look up the ''theoric duration'' of each task and Sum it up in rollupThe problem is that the sumup calculation is incorrect : see screenshot ->- the first row, lookup values for theoric durations per project are as follow : 10, 10, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8,

Hello 🙂I am creating a scenario in Make(Integromat) to resize images, and compress if they exceed 5MB in size.Bellow is the screenshot of the scenario I have created, but it is not working as expected.   I use HTTP to check the resized image size in MB  From here on, I am no longer sure what I did wrong, but Get multiple variables does not give me the resizes and compressed image. If the scenario received two images, one being resized and other compressed, I get two same compressed images.

It manages the data, automates each step, and integrates the handful of other services involved.We'd love for members of the Airtable community to be among the first to try it. 

Hello,As a beginner on Airtable, I would like to create a database with 2 tables (at least I think so) in n:n raltion.I have an EMPLOYEES table with several items, made unique by a personnel number.I'd like to create a "training courses attended" table, knowing that :Unique criteria must be validatedEach criterion is uniquely linked to a skillEach skill is uniquely linked to a themeThe aim is to obtain a view on which I can sort the results by employee (validated criteria)or by theme or skill (list of employees who have validated an entire theme or a list of skills).The EMPLOYEE table is easy to create, but I'm stuck on the SKILLS table because of the dependencies between themes, skills and criteria.But also on the method of links to be created with the EMPLOYES table.Or am I making a mistake and needing 3 tables: THEMATICS, SKILLS and CRITERIA?Thanks for your help !Thierry

I’ve setup a number of bases where external people can use forms to submit things like updated contact information by submitting a form as many times as they like, selecting their sponsor company record name as a link field in the form each time. This creates a series of attached entries to their sponsor record. I then setup the sponsor records as a series of Rollup fields on things like “email” etc that rolls up all submitted form entries. However I only want to show people the most up-to-date entries submitted, so I made the following formula that only returns the last linked entry . This is building off this post below:

URLs generated with CSV Getter work great with exporting data straight from an Interface UI. Now, if you add ?show_wait_page=true to the end of your URL and select “Open in new tab”, your download will work like shown in the GIF.This is great for User experience if your download takes slightly longer.Find out about handy URL parameters here. 

The way airtable works with base titles is by default it will take the first few letters of your title and use this as the base icon if you haven't selected one of their native icons. In this case it will use the emoji instead if it is the first item in the title.How to do this?1. Go to the "Base Title"2. Go to the beginning of the title3. On Windows: Press Window Key + Full Stop (Win+.) to open the emoji menu.On Mac: crtl+cmd+space4. Type the first few letter of the emoji you want to find.5. Click the emoji to add it to the front of the base title.

Hello there,Recently a client approach me to build a solution that would help to reply to customer emails. The idea was to utilize the internal knowledge they had from past customer questions as well as general product knowledge specific to his business.His idea was to use https://www.pinecone.io/  as the vector database storing the embeddings for internal knowledge base. I have recently built a proof of project like that, but using a full on code approach. I have used Supabase Postgress with pg-vector extension and some custom parsing tools to text/markdown sources.Overall approach above while feasible and fun, involved a lot of code meaning the budget for implementation was also way above what my customer was able to pay. 3 weeks OpenAI releases Assistants API with data retrieval and all of sudden all complexity

Hi Guys, Was frustrated with the lack of integration that is there currently with Airtable to Wix databases for a client. So made a solution which can be tested and checked out. I’ve used the integration features provided by Integromat, but there are certain “rules” to be followed for the integration to work. They’re all listed on the page and airtable sheet given. Let me know if the solution works for you all.

hi thereI am relatively new to Airtable. So far I used one base, basically like a spreadsheet. So I started a class. However my starting screen looks nothing like this. I cannot add a base, only create one. Then Airtable jumps straight into the base. It never shows the different steps as suggested by the Start from Scratch wizard. Could someone please adviseRafael  

Hi,I am looking for a way to customize to local language names of months and weekdays in Timeline view, located on the top of the graph. This is also applicable for names of buttons used to pick the time slot of visible part of the timeline. As database designer I am using English as preferable language in the setting of my account but users of Interfaces should see calendar's names in local language. 

Hi! How can I delete all my empty rows at once?I mean I have 8,200 rows but half of them are empty (due to my import format). I don't want to click manually to each of the 4,100 empty rows and click to delete.Do you have a trick to do it faster? With automatisation ? Don't want to use a filter, I really want to remove it. Thanks in advance.
