Ever since Airtable changed their Attachment URL expiry window to 2 hours, I had to setup automations using Make to upload files to S3.This worked great, but I recently build a custom extension to get this to work without using Make.So, I started building an Airtable extension to bridge this gap. The goal is to keep it all inside the Airtable UI (see the screenshot of what I have so far): You select your attachment field. The extension mirrors the file to a permanent bucket in the background. It writes the non-expiring CDN URL back to a field of your choice. I’m still polishing this, but I wanted to see if anyone else would actually find this useful compared to the current Zapier/Make methods.Is "reduced friction" enough of a reason to switch, or are most of you happy with your current S3 setups? If there's enough interest, I'll keep pushing to get this ready for a public release.

I tested out Superagent today and this is what it created as a Super Report based on the prompt below. https://superagent.com/website/f383953b-b7e7-40c9-b247-6db19cd35539_stored_entitiesVery Cool! The interactive graphics are interesting.  Prompt: I'm interested in creating a skateboarding video series on YouTube. I've gotten pretty good at mini-ramp combos and I want to make a series where I complete a difficult trick and add graphic overlays that match the styles of popular video games. Then the audience can guess which game the style is from to create engagement. I'm interested in research about creators who make similar content. What can I bring to to the table to make this creative unique? 

I faced this problem as we had to track daily metrics for each employee, which ended up generating dozens of records a day.  This became a problem pretty quickly for obvious reasonsAs a workaround, I ended up setting up a system to archive the old data while leaving the original base alone, and the steps are pretty much:Create a new base for archiving purposes Create a synced view and sync it to the new base In the sync settings, toggle on ‘Leave records when they are deleted or hidden in the source’ Create a heartbeat in the destination base This is important as syncs only happen on bases that have activity on them Set up an automation in the main base to delete the old records---1. Create a new base for archiving purposesI’m pretty sure everyone knows how to do this one, so I’m just going to skip it heh 2. Create a synced view and sync it to the new baseClick ‘Share and sync’ Click ‘Sync data to another base’ Toggle on ‘Allow data in this view to be synced to other bases’ Optional

Hi everyone! I’ve been testing out Superagent to see how it can streamline our operations at Nicat, and the results are game-changing.The Use Case: As a co-founder, I often need to synthesize data from multiple tables—linking project milestones, resource allocation, and budget burn rates. Traditionally, this required complex rollups or manual formula building. I wanted to see if Superagent could act as a "Virtual COO" to give me instant health reports.The Prompt I used:"Analyze the 'Project Milestones' and 'Budget' tables. Identify any projects that are currently over 70% through their timeline but have utilized less than 30% of their allocated budget. Provide a summary of potential bottlenecks and suggest an updated resource allocation plan to ensure we hit our Q1 targets."The Result: Superagent didn't just pull the numbers; it identified a specific project at Nicat that was stalled due to a pending documentation phase. It suggested reallocating two engineers to a secondary high-prior

I’ve made no secret of my scepticism regarding AI reliability. But this week, SuperAgent might have officially changed my mind. 🤯I’ve been back in the "vibe coding" lane within Airtable; the Omni upgrades of late are producing some stunning interface results. Now it was time to test out SuperAgent. I fed it a dataset I know inside out: the Product Ops Confidential Product Operations 2025 Salary Survey. I asked for a comprehensive report focusing on location, role grade, experience, and company size. The prompt was not much more than that (I did ask it to refine 3 items after the first run: Add in cautions on segments with low responses, make a GBP version as well as the USD version, and correct where one of the role types stood in the hierarchy). The results? I’m "SuperImpressed." 😅🫡 Depth & Logic: It handled nuanced prompts, like flagging where low response counts might skew conclusions.📈 Statistical Rigour: It surfaced insights I hadn't even spotted in my own dashboards.⏩ Spe

Problem:If you’ve ever tried connecting Airtable with DocuSign through Make.com, you’ve probably realized how little documentation there is—especially about the nuances of how the DocuSign module actually works. It took me a lot of trial and error to figure out how to get everything syncing smoothly.Solution:In this tutorial, I show how to build a full document automation between Airtable, Google Docs, and DocuSign using Make.com—step by step. You’ll learn how to generate a document template from Google Docs, send it for signature via DocuSign, and track everything back in Airtable automatically.⚙️ What You’ll Learn:How to generate document templates in Google Docs from Airtable records How to send those documents through DocuSign using Make.com How to sync signed documents and signature statuses back into Airtable How to handle tricky module settings and webhook responses in Make.com Lessons learned from testing and debugging real-world workflows👉 Watch the full tutorial here.

Really impressed by an initial test use case! From a basic prompt on a very broad topic - Changes Over Time in the UK Pay TV Market - the AI generated sections and market analysis were on point and factually accurate in nearly every area - a vast improvement on other common AI tools.More impressive still was the quality of the final report - the interactive visualizations are way ahead of anything else I’ve trialled to date. It’s useful to see the sub agent tasks and reasoning, data sources etc.I managed to make a couple of corrections to reports with further prompts, although even a simple text change seemed to take a few minutes (I’d be curious how many credits a simple change like this would take). An ability to make manual changes to the reports to quickly tweak would be great - perhaps this is do-able via the download option but as yet I’ve been unable to get the .json files to recreate the web based report (probably due to my own lack of knowledge in this area, but a “how to” gui

Hi everyone,Many of you generate documents from Airtable (contracts, invoices, NDAs) and need signatures. The typical workflow looks like:Generate doc with TypeFlow (our core product is to automate the document generation with Airtable data). Zapier/Make sends to your favorite e-signature tool Signature collected Zapier brings it back to AirtableIt means 3 software (and subscription) to handle the whole document generation + signature flow. TypeFlow now handles the full loop by adding the e-signature featureAutomate your document from Airtable with TypeFlow Send for legally binding signature (ESIGN, UETA, eIDAS compliant) in TypeFlow Signed PDF automatically back in your base No Zapier, no e-signature needed, no fee per signature.Every signature includes:Audit trail (IP, timestamp, device) SHA-256 document hash Certificate of completionour website: https://www.typeflow.us/e-signatureIf you have any question feel free to reach out to me

Hi everyone, I wanted to share something we’ve been working on that might help people connecting Airtable with their sales & marketing workflows.We’ve recently (re)launched an Outfunnel integration for Airtable that lets you: Sync contacts from Airtable to your marketing automation tool or CRM. You can segment who gets synced by Table and View.  Changes made in Airtable get synced over 24/7.  We started out syncing traditional CRM (e.g. Pipedrive, HubSpot) with marketing platforms and built the Airtable integration because we saw a growing number of businesses use Airtable as their main CRM. The integration is currently one-way only (from Airtable to the marketing tool or CRM) but we’re planning to make this 2-way soon. Currently supported tools: Pipedrive, HubSpot, Copper, Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Brevo, GetResponse, Salesforce, MailerLite, ActiveCampaign, Constant Contact.  I’d love to hear what you think — happy to share more screenshots if helpful.  

 Put together this detailed video tutorial on how you can generate PDFs from your Airtable data using DocuPotion:Video linkWe start off with a basic 'Meeting Notes' example where we go through:Designing a meeting notes PDF template in DocuPotion Building the Airtable automation that calls generates a PDF of the templateAll data at this stage is from a single tableUsing the repeating element component to bring in data from a linked record Triggering the Airtable automation that generates the PDF based on a checkboxWe then move onto a more complex invoice example, where we pull in data from multiple different linked records. Hope it’s useful and any questions let me know!Alex

Hello! This is a repost from the AI Incubator I was a part of at the end of 2025.I just wanted to follow up on the AI Plays webinar, quite a few people were interested in the custom interfaces but were not entirely sure what they were capable of and how to generate them. Now I can’t find exact prompts, when I’ve been testing I’ve kind of just given a vague explanation of what I’ve wanted the interface to do and then iterated and fine tuned with specific prompts to make changes to the interface. From my understanding, Custom Interfaces use React UI Component which is essentially JavaScript and then uses a Tailwind CSS to control styling and layout. That is the extent of my code knowledge at the moment but its pretty powerful and can make some really pretty interfaces, and aesthetics are my favourite thing to play with 😂. I apologise if this reads as a tutorial, but I thought it was the best way to show how to do it. Once you’ve got the data - I find it best to use actual data in your t

Hi folks, I thought I’d take a moment to share what we’ve built with Airtable. We call our product InspectorPrime. It is a business suite for home and commercial property inspectors. Our clients can purchase the system one time for a lifetime company license. This provides them with both a capable CRM/office management system and a report writing system. Overall, it allows these companies to own/customize (to an extent) their business software while saving them quite literally tens of thousands of dollars over current proprietary inspection software. I hope by sharing this others can see just how deep they can get into creating custom solutions for specific industries. Happy to answer any questions here or at jon@inspectorprime.com.

Set up your automation triggerTo start with, we’ll create a checkbox field that we’ll use to trigger the automation: Note: How the automation triggers depends on how your data gets created‘When record updated’ pointed at the text field is going to end up triggering for every character you type into a text field so that won’t work hereAs a workaround, we can use a checkbox

I’ve been working on AirTable for a few years now, and I’ve developed a decent set of tooling for inspecting and documenting particularly complex AirTable bases. I’ve put that functionality into a free web app where you can load and AirTable schema via API Key or via JSON upload, which will unlock functionality related to dependency mapping, formula evaluation, and client side libraries.https://blog.scsllc.pro/airtable-powertools/

Hello Airtable community, 3 years ago we published the first version of Pro Backup for Airtable (see original post). Since a lot has changed since our launch I thought I'd give on update and tell what has been improved in the last year. What has been improved since the launch? Our integration is now available as an official integration on the Airtable app marketplaceThe User interface has been redesigned and rebuilt from scratch making the experience more intuitive & faster.You can now manage the backups of multiple SaaS apps within one Pro Backup account.The Backups page now allows to easily compare versions for reach record / data type: For example you can easily compare the versions of each of your tables, comments & field configurations.Improved restore capabilities: It is now possible to restore entire tables but also to perform more granular restore requests such as restoring a specific field or comment back to the existing table. Improved click-t

Ranks your data in descending order based on a field you select, and updates a field you select with the ranking number. Here’s a link to an example base which you can copy and try for yourself: https://airtable.com/shr1Ymp6Z39jsN1Pq //This script will grab the rows from the chosen table, rank them, and then update the chosen column output.text("This code will let you pick a field you want your rows ranked by, and then rank it in descending order."); //Allow the user to choose the table they want to manipulate let table = await input.tableAsync('Select the table'); //You can replace the above line with the following if you know what table you're going to be using //let table = base.getTable("[TABLE NAME]") //For the purposes of this example base, it would be: //let table = base.getTable("Sales"); //Allow the user to choose the field they want to rank let fieldToRank = await input.fieldAsync("Select the field you want to rank by. Please pick a number, percent, or currency field.",

Hi all 👋🏼Really quick post to showcase a plugin I created on my tool AirPlugins. It lets you autocomplete and prefill an address right from Airtable — even if you only have a vague, messy starting point.Type something like:attorney st 2 (no city, no formatting)…and it instantly turns it into a perfectly formatted address. 👇🏼 Here is how it works step-by-step: (demo video here) You type your “raw” query (like : “attorney st 2”) and press a button (from your grid or interface). A popup opens up with a list of matching addresses (using Google Maps API) You pick the address that matches your query It updates your record (with clean & separate fields : street, number, city, postal, state, latitude, longitude, ...)🌱 Some use-cases that really benefited from this plugin:Real estate (property managers, agents, brokers, ...) Field service technicians (making sure you get the right address) CRMsYou can give it a try for free here : https://airplugins.com/plugins/address_autocompleteFlor

Over the last year, we’ve been working with SMBs and mid-market teams that want to scale operations using Airtable and AI — but often struggle with fragmented workflows, unclear ownership, and automations that break as they grow.We’ve seen that tools alone aren’t the solution. What actually works is designing a clear operational strategy first, then using Airtable (with OMNI and AI) as the backbone for well-structured workflows.A simple way to visualize this is Santa’s Workshop:inventory, production, locations, and delivery all work because the system is designed end to end — not because of a single tool.We’re hosting a webinar where we’ll walk through:– real workflow rebuilds– common red flags we see in growing teams– how we structure operational architecture in Airtable for scale– how AI fits after workflows are stableIf you’re interested in practical examples and real implementations (not theory), you can check out the webinar details here:👉 https://airtableevents.com/airtableenter
