Hi friends of Airtable,DocsAutomator has been growing quite a lot recently and we have many Airtable users automating their documents with it already 🎉The goal for DocsAutomator was to create the easiest solution to turn Airtable data into documents after having built Airtable solutions for clients for 2 years. It uses Google Docs as its templating tool, so creating templates is super easy. On top of that, it supports line items (also multiple line item tables), currency and date formatting for most regions, you can select to add to or overwrite attachment fields and lots more!Would love if you would check it out and let me know what you think! I'm constantly improving the platform and look forward to your feedback (via this community forum, email, in-app chat, Twitter, ...)https://docsautomator.co/Cheers,Rupert

I've created a script that creates child records in a child table linked to parent records in a parent table through a linked field. It creates a set number of child records per parent record, if a set field in the parent record meets the conditions, depending on the number of records in a "count table" with a non-empty value in a designated "count field". It also supports populating a designated "category" field in the child table with the value of the "count field" in the "count table".I originally created this for the translation of texts. The parent table hosts the English text, and when the workflow (designated by a single select field) moves to "Translate", the script checks a table listing the languages to be translated into, and creates a number of child records equal to the number of languages, and categorises the child-records based on the language.It can be used for other systems where a set number of linked records need to be created automatically in a separate table based

(this headline was generated by the Airtable AI Prompt Builder Itself.)Hi, this is Matt.I used Airtable Interface and added some automation to integrate it with Make and OpenAI API to create the "Airtable AI Prompt Builder".  And packaged it and published it for free with all the prompts content on the Airtable Universe.  Please check it out (links below), let me know what you think, I am already working on improving the solution based on some initial findings and feedback that I have received from one of my client,  but would love to get some of your feedback if you look at it! Thanks.  OUTPUT SAMPLE (Generated from my solution)Automation made easy!

Hey all! I made a quick test with OpenAI GPT-3 to summarize text and add the TL;DR to another field. I find it kinda cool, and it was super quick to make, so sharing the example if someone finds it useful. You’ll need to sign up to OpenAI and generate your own API key there. Add a scripting app, and here’s the code (remember to edit your own table and field names, and add your own API key): // Change this to the name of a table in your base let table = base.getTable('Documents'); let openaiUrl = "https://api.openai.com/v1/engines/text-davinci-002/completions"; // Prompt the user to pick a record // If this script is run from a button field, this will use the button's record instead. let record = await input.recordAsync('Select a record to use', table); if (record) { // Construct the body // Change the field name to match yours. let body = { "prompt": record.getCellValue("Text") + "\n\nTl;dr", "temperature": 0.7, "max_tokens": 60, "top_p"

I am thrilled to share that I have successfully streamlined my data management process by using Formaloo forms in conjunction with Airtable.  😀 By integrating my Formaloo forms directly into my Airtable base, I have been able to collect and manage all of my data in one central location. This has not only saved me time and effort but has also helped me to maintain accuracy and consistency across all of my data. 😊And here is the article that I want to share with you about how it works:How to create Formaloo forms on Airtable base

Hi, I would like to ask if this is possible. So we have an airtable view that contains all the schools in the Dallas metro area. Under Dallas, there are 58 schools. But we want to get the top 20 schools base on their School score. Is there a way to get the top 20 schools with the biggest "School Score" via the formula field or scripting? Though we can use the "Sort" but we want to have a field that will be updated into "Yes" or maybe "To be uploaded" when their school score is included in the top 20 biggest school scores.   

I want to add/update an existing table with a new CSV file.I used this article: https://support.airtable.com/docs/csv-import-extensionIt was perfect till the point that I had to choose only one field under "Merge with existing records".How can I merge based on two or more fields? 

hello, I have a small but may complicated issue. I have a data table, that lists several items to view over a website. the form for the table works well to populate the fields and add items. what is needed is another "contact form" that a visitor can use, to send inquiry, where the subject field is "prefilled" with the specific item number that the visitor "clicked-on" and expanded. like adding a button field, that will open that form, with the prefilled value from that exact column-row intersection. any ideas?

If you're looking for a formula field that translates an employee's start date or birthdate into the current year (for notifications or action items), here's a formula that does that for you.Requirements:Add a date field called DOB (You can change this later if you don't like it)Add a formula field and input the formula below:DATETIME_PARSE(DATETIME_FORMAT(DOB, 'MM') &"/" &DATETIME_FORMAT(DOB, 'DD') &"/" & IF(MONTH(NOW()) = DATETIME_FORMAT(DOB, 'MM'),IF(DAY(NOW()) <= DATETIME_FORMAT(DOB, 'DD'), YEAR(NOW()), YEAR(NOW())+1),IF(MONTH(NOW()) < DATETIME_FORMAT(DOB, 'MM'), YEAR(NOW()), YEAR(NOW())+1))) Now you can change the name of the DOB field if you want. Happy Airtabling!*Note: visit airtable.com/formulas for more info about formulas in Airtable 

I've been using Airtable for a while now, and while it's a fantastic platform for managing and organizing data, I've noticed that the lookup functionality can be quite limited at times. Specifically, I've experienced issues with having to create multiple lookup fields just to perform simple calculations or data lookups across different tables. So, I've started working on a new tool that aims to solve these lookup issues and enhance Airtable's functionality. With this tool, you'll be able to quickly reference data from other tables without having to create linked fields or complex formulas, and easily perform calculations across multiple tables . I'm curious to know if anyone else has experienced these lookup issues and would be interested in trying out my tool. It's still a work in progress, but I'm hoping to release it soon and make it available to the Airtable community. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, let me know in the comments below. And if you

Hello, Is there a way to make a custom share link for my airtable form? The default one is quite convoluted, consisting of a string of random letters and numbers. Too hard to remember for my end users. D 

Hi everyone!Around two weeks ago I released an Airtable extension that helps you save emails to Airtable. A lot of you were so kind to have tried it out and gave me many valuable feedback, thank you!I started working on snippets and blocks that can be set up in your Airtable base to log emails and act as an CRM like Salesforce does. I wrote an article here to show you some cool features and views you could create with Airtable and emails to use your base as a CRM.I am also in the process of creating a generalised Airtable CRM template and will make it available for free so more people can get started using Airtable as a CRM quickly. I thought that CRM systems are best customised to be most useful, but if you are interested in helping me by giving me some feedback, leave a response here. 

When I open the calendar workspace on mobile (android) and on days that I have an appointment and a blue dot it does not show the record. I have a message that says "this date has no record" if I click Done and re-open it the appointments are there. This is really frustrating - and happens EVERY SINGLE time on every day.Please help!

 Okay I believe I have finally solved this problem. Using a bunch of nested formulas and heaps of hints from these forums I managed to take the start date(/time) of an event in my table, and calculate the correct payroll date. If you've ever tried this before you may have come across several complications which generally come back to Airtable performing all calculations on a date field without considering the timezone that the displayed date field is in - it sometimes assumes date fields need to be translated back into GMT, and at others it just assumes they are already in GMT when they aren't... etc. Formulas like WEEKNUM() and SET_TIMEZONE() don't seem to work well together... etc.Anyway, I have tested this formula with a bunch of tricky dates around the start/end of a year and the start/end of a pay period and haven't come across any errors in the calculations yet. So my fingers are crossed that this formula is the solution that works for you too. Or, you know, someone better t

This code is used in a “Duration” formula field in an Activity tracking database. The formula calculates the hours and minutes of a duration of time (for an activity), and maintains a two digit display for minutes (H:MM) when the minutes portion of a duration is between 1 & 9 minutes. Without this code, a duration with a value for minutes between 1 & 9, for example a duration of 1 hour and 3 minutes, would display incorrectly as “1:3”, instead of correctly as “1:03”. THE FIELDS IN THE CODE OF THE FORMULA ARE: Date & Time: A date field. The user enters the starting date and time of an activity. End Time: A date field. The user enters the ending date and time of an activity. Duration: The formula field. The the code of the formula will calculate the duration of the activity. The duration will be displayed in the format H:MM. If the duration is less than an hour, the H will display a zero. If the minutes are less than 10 (but greater than zero), the minutes ten’s place will d

Hey everyone!My name is Minas and I run a map-making website, where you click on a map, add your legend, and download it as an image.A few months ago, one of my users, who is also using Airtable every day, suggested creating an Airtable extension with similar functionality:So, I am excited to announce that MapChart for Airtable is now available on the Marketplace: https://airtable.com/marketplace/blkmypAlv8OyL9Wd3/mapchart  With MapChart, you can: 🗺️️ Create your own custom map from your base's data.📜 Display it next to your Airtable or download it as an image.📊 Use a variety of field types as the source of your map.  Save time and use the MapChart extension to:💰 Track sales statistics by state.🌎 Visualize your company's worldwide presence.🗳️ Show election results by county.✈️ Make your own visited countries world map.🏢 Display your organization's activities across a re

This may be a little tricky to describe, and I'm a little excited after discovering this feature, so I'll do my best! My post is about the Interface Record Picker element, but the Airtable Help doesn't discuss this functionality.Today, whilst I was creating a new Time/Task tracker to keep a tabs on my time, along with what tasks and projects that I'm working on - I've always had the complaint that as each of my tables links in deeper to one another, when viewing via an Interface it becomes a bit of a click-scroll-click-scroll to get to the data that I'm needing to update, then a click-back-click-back to get back to my main interface - repeat ad nauseum - and I start to wonder if Interfaces are really worth investing the time in building, knowing that data is obfuscated by several clicks and it's really just easier to edit directly within the base... or so I thought.As I was finishing up today's efforts on my new personal use interface (and again, frustrated by the way users need t

TLDR: keeping track of automations that live outside airtable is hard. I made a chrome extension that tells you what Make scenarios are connected to the base you are in.Hey all- I’ve been doing consulting work on airtable since I left back in October. One of the biggest pains making that transition was in working with automation tools like zap and make and understanding what bases they were connected to and documentation of what happens to hand off to customers.I developed www.baseinspector.com to address this issue through a chrome extension. For now it’s quite simple but plan to extend it to documentation, field flagging etcWould love anyone that’s Interested to try the beta when in launched at the end of the month and would be super grateful for feedback thoughts etcyou can watch a video and sign up for the beta at www.baseinspector.com
