I have a new app on the Airtable Marketplace! Have you ever wanted to prefill a form will data that already exists in your base, but found building the url to be difficult? My new marketplace app, Prefilled Forms, creates a formula that calculates a prefilled url for a form for each record in a table. You don’t have to write any code–just point, click, copy, and paste. Use case 1: Create prefilled links for clients You already have a table of client information, and you have an onboarding form, questionnaire, evaluation survey or other form for them to fill out. You want a to email each client a link to the form prefilled with the client’s name and other details. Use the Prefilled Forms app to build the formula to for each client. Use case 2: Click a button to create records with defaults New records tend to have sev

Heyo! Aron here. I’m on the education team at Airtable but in my spare time (even before joining Airtable), I would stream no-code workflows on Airtable on my Automate All the Things Youtube channel. I stream every week on Wednesday at 1PM EST. Tomorrow, I’ll be streaming how to use the Page designer app to auto create invoices, scripts, its limitations and workarounds (and much more :slightly_smiling_face: ). All details are here. If you’ve got ideas for what I should cover next, let me know!

Hi Airtable! I was wondering if anyone has an example of an Airtable base embedded into a website. I wanted to see how it works in a website. Thank you, Mary

Hey Everyone, If you’ve thought of building a client portal for your business, check out or new article that explains the benefits of a client portal and in which cases it’s applicable as well as how it’s possible to build one using Airtable. Cheers, Narek

The other day a friend of mine watched as I imported 7,000 support tickets from Jira into Airtable and then auto-tagged them in less than a minute. He was amazed; I was yawning. I suppose it’s a pretty cool thing, but we often get good at something(s) and forget about how much time they save and possibly how much more useful the data becomes when we attend to the seemingly little things like consistent keyword tagging through automation. I use my Airdrop framework to do this - it’s a simple script management system that allows me to use ordinary javascript functions in Google Apps Script (or in Airtable) to perform acrobatics on Airtable data and all without setting up a new API app every time I need a new API process. But I think you can also do this through Zapier, Integromat and your own API code of course. Airdrop allows me to frame an API process in a

Hey Everyone, The Airtable community is among the most dynamic and fast-growing communities in the no-code space, and there are many members producing and sharing educational content, tips, or news on Airtable or just offering related services.

Hi Everyone, The no-code community (and the Airtable community in particular) is evolving fast, and there are already a lot of established experts writing on no-code trends, technologies, news, etc. Therefore, we thought it would be useful to compile a list of the most interesting (in our opinion) experts in the area that are worth following on social media: 100+ Top No-Code Experts You Should Be Following Should be helpful if you’re just getting into the no-code space or if you’re simply looking for new sources of inspiration and expertise. Cheers, Narek

There’s a ton of excellent tools for turning data in Airtable into websites. But how about the reverse - scraping data from websites into Airtable? After some good community feedback I’ve launched a direct Airtable integration on Simplescraper to help you do that. Choose a website to scrape, enter the details of the base and table where you want the data to appear, click run, and your data instantly appears in Airtable. Here’s a tutorial that scrapes jobs listings directly from Indeed into a base and it should work similarly on almost every website. I know

There’s probably an easier way to do this, but I was quite pleased with the solution I came up with. I’d be interested to hear what you think… I’m building an auditing tool composed of a large number of questions that can be answered Yes, No, or N/A. This needs to give an overall “score” as the final output, as a percentage, where questions for which “N/A” is selected aren’t counted towards the overall score, i.e. the score is calculated by the total number of questions answered “Yes”, divided by the total number of applicable questions. I set up a test version of this tool and filled in some results here. The “Score” field is worked out as follows: {Yes} IF({Q1}="Yes", "1", "") & IF({Q2}="Yes", "1", "") & IF({Q3}="Yes", "1", "") & IF({Q4}="Yes", "1", "") & IF({Q5}="Yes", "1", "") {Yes or no}

Hey Everyone, As an active member of the no-code community, we at Softr always closely follow the developments within the no-code movement. Therefore, we’ve started a series of articles on no-code to share our thoughts and observations on different aspects of the no-code universe. The first one explores the evolution of no-code, its current developments, and future perspectives: The Past, Present, and Future of No-Code Let me know if it’s helpful and if you’d be interested in reading more similar content. Cheers, Narek

My new app “Ready-Made Formulas” is now available on the Airtable marketplace. This app includes over a dozen “ready-to-use” formulas for common tasks such as formatting numbers and dates as text strings to include in reports generating urls for prefilled forms and prefiltered shared views extracting attachment filenames and urls manipulating dates consolidating data from multiple fields into JSON format Simply choose your formula, pick your table and fields, and select your options. Then, copy and paste the formula into your formula field. Most formulas require a premium license.

After working with all sorts of Airtable users to get their bases connected to PowerBI, I wanted to provide a quick tutorial to the community in case you might be looking to connect Airtable to PowerBI as well. There are two ways to connect Airtable to PowerBI The Airtable REST API Using a service like the one I’m helping with → Sync Inc I’ll cover both here briefly: REST API These instructions pull together information across several posts here and here. Thanks to @Oscar_Diaz for getting this started - hope pulling this into one place can help.

Hi! So I recently noticed that if I am creating records in a filtered view that all NEW records added in that view will automatically get the same values that are required by that filter. This is pretty AWESOME! Ive been itching to get new records to auto-fill and this helps me get toward that goal. Feature request… If you could attach a form view to create records in a specific view, that would ROCK! However, I do also use the ‘prefill’ in the URL option to do that.
