Show and Tell

Hey! Some weeks ago I built a super simple, yet very very powerful automation, for helping a friend parse invoices, and thought it would be helpful for others to post a basic guide (and open the discussion for improvements) here. Proof of Concept: By uploading an Invoice to Airtable. An automation would use AI to extract, Invoice Line Item Descriptions, Quantity and Totals. Then the automation would create the corresponding records with precise information. Therefore my friend can now get all insights from the invoices his company receives (how much they’re spending, what they’re spending on, and a clear picture of overall finances).  Needs:Airtable paid plan for scripting and AI

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 th

Not sure how relevant to this audience this is, or if there are other Playstation <> Airtable nerds out there, but I made a public interface page for collecting and gathering user feedback for free PSN avatar codes that usually are floating out there in the ether. Since it’s gained some traction I figured I’d post here just to share ~ Check it out and submit any avatar codes you find out there, if you’d like! Free PSN Avatar Codes Gallery: https://airtable.com/appAjCCssSxTixJcb/shr82pwqYJCSegpFJ  

Hi Airtable community,My first extention is now available.Link Record Helper - Marketplace - AirtableIt is a simple function to copy and paste multiple selected records into one Link to other table field.Just copy, paste, click, and paste. Simple design, no settings needed.For example by displaying only the primary fields in the Grid View, you can freely select records using check boxes. Also, it is possible to convert a single Link to other table list to multiple records. (To tell the truth, I can't think of a use case for this one)I would be grateful if you could report bugs and reviews.Thanks.

Hey everyone,I'm a developer exploring a new SaaS tool specifically for agencies and consultants who build on Airtable, and I'd be grateful for your expert feedback.From my research, a recurring pain point seems to be managing multiple client bases at scale. The manual process of updating formulas or adding fields across 15+ duplicated bases sounds like a maintenance nightmare, and Airtable's native sync has its limits.The solution I'm building is a simple utility called BaseFoundry. The concept is a dashboard where you can define a "master" base and then push structural updates (like a new field or a changed formula) to all your client "instances" in one click without us touching any of your unique data.For the agency owners and ultimate users here: Does this solve a real problem for you? Is this a "nice to have," or a "give it to me now" kind of tool? Am I missing a key feature that wou

Sharing here because obviously the team I’m working for can’t appreciate it as much as you all will!! And the Airtable community is amazing!! Took me a hot minute and it’s a bit convoluted with lots of helper fields (if you have a better/cleaner way, please share!!), but I finally figured out how to get a linked field into a nice list with comma separators and an “and” just before the last item. I use this in a template email. I may do a Loom video if anyone wants it, just let me know in the comments. Requirements: 2 tables linked :slightly_smiling_face: In table 1: First Name Field First Name Length Field - This is essentially a character count of the length of the first names. If your scenario may have more than 99 characters you’ll need to add two zeros in front of the numbers less than 10, and other formulas later may need to change. Thanks to Airtable forum for this formula: IF( LEN( {First Name} )<10, ‘0’ )&LEN( {

Early this year I wrote a script1 to help a user organize some sequential events, where one event would start when the previous event ended. Rather than continue to post updates to that original thread, I felt it would be best to start a new one. This script lets you go from this: …to this: Change durations and re-run the script to re-calculate the relevant start and end times (no need to clear fields first!) Choose as many fixed start times as you wish, and those times will remain untouched while the others calculate based on the end time of the previous record Tip: use record colorin

Recently I tried out a few experiments using AI to do SEO analysis on competitor websites and formulate a strategy that can be used to beat them. This performed really well for most internal SEO teams as they got new and insightful strategies based on current data All you need is a keyword and a backend workflow scraps all the pages ranking for that keyword. The content and site structure is analysed by AI and a strategy on how to go about the strategy is providedThe next step is creating a new blog based on a combination of different strategies from the above steps to generate a unique high-quality blog postIf you would like to test it or have a custom AI integration feel free to PM or email me at zacharia@effibotics.com

This a product I build on airtable, and automated the backed using n8n to create powerful SEO manager that can automate basically all your SEO tasks from keyword research, competitor research, write AI blogs and publish to wordpress.I liked Airtable as its much easier to use and manage with the free tier, and can be easily automated to create complex systemsYou can access the template here 

Hello everyone,I've built a document generation for Airtable, using Google Docs for templating. Today, this product, Typeflow.us, is available as an Airtable extension.Thanks to it, you can bulk generate PDFs directly in Airtable in a few clicks. I built this extension, because many of you struggle to generate PDFs automatically with Airtable Page Designer.It's also possible to generate PDFs using:Airtable Automation our API to generate PDFs with Make / Zapier just to generate PDFs directly with a button in Airtable.We have many features to cover your use case:line items => perfect for invoices, quotes, reports. nested line items => perfect for

 I need many subscriptions for my operations, and I need to collect the invoices every monthSo I have accurate reporting, and for my accountant of course.So I built this system to solve my own problem - hope it’s useful to others too! Download link to all material used is in the video description.

TL;DR:I’m a non-technical cartoonist who built a fully chat-controlled editorial system using Airtable’s API and OpenAI Actions (via ChatGPT Teams). I can manage my entire cartoon workflow—images, captions, submissions, rights, and tagging—just by talking to it. No middleware, no third-party tools. It handles flexible inputs, reads image fields, and edits any table or field naturally. Happy to share details if anyone’s doing something similar.Why I built it:I draw single-panel, black-and-white gag cartoons (like what you’d find in The New Yorker). I needed a way to track and submit work, manage captions, analyze themes, and stay organized across multiple stages of a cartoon’s life. I had no editor or agent—so I built one.What it does:Reads and analyzes cartoon images alongside their captions Tags tone, subjectivity, and humor style Edits any field across multiple linked tables (submissions, rights, cooldowns, etc.) W

We’ve been using Airtable as a backend for lightweight apps — like a project dashboard for clients, or a form submission portal that touches multiple tables.Interfaces help a bit, but they don’t quite support login, user-based permissions, or multi-table forms. We ended up building a role-aware portal layer that connects to Airtable and lets users view, edit, or create records based on their role — it’s now ClientlyBase, but it started as a personal workaround. Just curious if others here are building similar “mini apps” on Airtable. What tools are you using — Interfaces, Softr, Glide, or something else?

TL;DR version: Airtable’s recently added capability to limit linked-record selection to a specific view allows users to incorporate, to a degree, conditional logic. The specifics: ‘Conditional logic’ can mean a lot of things: Any use of an IF() or SWITCH() statement is a form of conditional logic. Here, I’m using it in what’s become an increasingly common manner: to mean the limiting of available options based on an earlier choice. For example, take a look at the following diagram. The user selects one of five categories. Based on that selection, he or she is allowed to choose from a subset of five subcategories, taken from an overall population of 25 subcategories. Thi

Hey everyone! We recently shipped two features for BaseQL that I’m really excited about.For those that don’t know, BaseQL provides a GraphQL API for Airtable that makes it easier to build custom apps with your Airtable data.These new features came directly from user feedback about workflow pain points.TL;DR: You can now query Airtable views directly and have full control over filtering/sorting related records in a single API call.Querying Airtable ViewsBaseQL now supports querying specific Airtable views using the new _view argument. This feature leverages Airtable’s powerful ability to create custom views with specific sorting, filtering, and grouping configurations.Why this mattersMany BaseQL users were manually implementing sorting through rank columns or creating complex filter combinations to match what they had already config

Just returned from Asia's largest Apple ecosystem expo where we showcased AirKit for Airtable. What an amazing experience connecting with so many passionate Airtable users across Asia! The energy was incredible as visitors from China, Korea and beyond stopped by our booth. We were genuinely surprised by how many people are using Airtable for everything from personal projects to enterprise solutions.  Many users shared their frustrations with the slowness and navigation complexity. It was validating to demonstrate how our AirKit app solves these exact pain points by enabling quick record additions and table access through Siri commands and Spotlight search. The conversations were enlightening - we learned so much about how people are using Airtable in different contexts and cultures. Several visitors even showed us their unique Airtable setups! I've created this vlog to

Using chatGPT in an Airtable automation. In my use case, the automation triggers on when an Airtable record matches conditions,then follows with 2 actions, run script and update record. Adjust the first part of the promptwith your own use case. Tip: Use chatGPT to help you write a prompt for chatGPT (!) let inputConfig = input.config(); text = `${inputConfig.text}`; var key = "openai-api-key"; var url = "https://api.openai.com/v1/completions"; prompt = "Reword this text to grade 9 reading level: " + text; var gpt = { model : "text-davinci-003", prompt : prompt, temperature : 0, max_tokens : 1024 }; response = await fetch(url, { method: 'POST', body: JSON.stringify(gpt), headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + key, } }); answer= await response.json(); data=answer.choices[0].text; output.set('your-airtable-field',data); 

A custom script that helps you integrate Airtable with the OpenAI API without using any 3rd party tools like Zapier or Make - possible even with the free Airtable account. Just copy-paste the "script" and start getting responses from gpt-4/3.5, immediately.What can you do with the “script”?You can bring the power of OpenAI language models (GPT-4 and GPT-3.5) to your Airtable base and utilize them to create content for 1000s of rows at once.For example:Generate product descriptions based on several data pointsCreate personalized emails for 1000s of guests based on available dataDo programmatic SEO by creating super-optimized AI contentGenerate content for anything and everything that follo

Hey community !We just redesigned and relaunched Data Fetcher, and I wanted to share it for anyone who might find it useful. What is Data Fetcher? It’s a no-code Airtable extension that pulls data from APIs directly into your bases. Think of it as connecting Airtable to your external data sources without the complexity of coding or leaving Airtable. Why we built it: We kept hitting the same wall: Airtable is great for organizing data, but getting external data in (and keeping it updated) was always a hassle. What it does:Import from any REST/GraphQL API Schedule automatic updates (up to every 5 minutes) Chain requests together into sequences for complex workflows Handle authentication & pagination Transform data as it’s imported

My client just spent 5 minutes raving about how a small fix genuinely improved the quality of life for their staff. So thought to share.They run a medical services biz. For managing charts, appointments, etc., they use "Jane," which is super HIPAA compliant (so no API, of course). For the extra workflows Jane can't do, they export PHI-stripped data to Airtable weekly and also use Asana for patient-specific tasks.The problem? Practitioners in Jane needing to see Asana tasks for a patient had this annoying little dance: copy PatientUID from Jane URL, tab over to Asana, paste, search, pray. Took barely a minute, sure, but multiply that by X times a day... and it becomes a real point of friction in their workflow!So, I figured there had to be a no-code way. Whipped up a super basic Chrome extension using Windsurf (one of those AI builder things – I wanted to explore these AI builders anyway, so good excuse!).It's not going to win any innovati

Hi everyone! 👋I’m excited to finally share that I completed my Airtable certification back in February (https://verify.skilljar.com/c/7k9pzk4zucj9), and I'm now looking to integrate Airtable into my freelance services.I'm Shuaib, a business process automation freelancer with a background in Computer Science and I work with automation platforms like make.com.Earlier this year, I earned my Airtable Certification, and while I quietly celebrated it in February, I'm now ready to make it part of my public tech stack and service offerings.🔗 Here’s a look at my work: My PortfolioI'd love to hear from others in the automation space:

(So, since I’m a “New” user even though I’ve used airtable for years, I can only post 5 images per post, so I’m breaking this up into multiple responses. ) Hi guys! I encountered a need to have this solved, and the nature of the problem just doesn’t mesh well with creating a formula to fix it. Here’s a topic that was looking for a good answer on this, and one that gives an answer that I think can be improved upon: Rolling Customer Number Based On Year
