If you’ve ever wanted to create an approval workflow using Airtable that includes electronig signatures and automatic creation of PDF files, you could always piece together different tools to make that happen.For example, you could piece together a solution that combines DocuMint or PDFFiller, along with DocuSign and Make. Or, you could combine eSignatures.io with 

May 2023 Update: AirToWoo is now Connect for WooCommerce. We have a demo Airtable base here which you can copy, and you can sign up here.Hi fellow Airtabler’s (and Woocommerce lovers!).I’m excited to share a brand new integration between Airtable and Woocommerce, which allows you to manage all your products, categories, tags, orders (and more) for Woocommece from within Airtable.We’ve shared it with a few of our contacts, and the average speed saving has been 10x. If you’ve ever used Woocommerce, you’ll know how slow it can be to go through and edit products one by one, so it was a no-brainer to tap into t

I’ve been at my company for about two years and our content team’s workflow has changed pretty drastically in that time. We decided we needed a new Airtable base and to switch to an Interface for ease of tracking projects with multiple components across multiple teams. We finally have the visibility we’ve been lacking for full team transparency. Whereas before each team has its own tab in the data layer that were linked but didn’t really talk to each other, all deliverables now live in one tab and each content piece (based on an Updates tab from the Content Calendar template) lives in a second tab and is automatically created based on content type. There is also (based on the template) a separate area for when external stakeholders request content so that we can vet it for all required information before pulling it into the team workflow. Using interfaces has also allowed us to better share calendars and status updates with external stakeholders,

I wrote a Tampermonkey script to allow us to customize the colors of the field headers!(Tampermonkey lets you install scripts in your browser to customize and add functionality to a site, in this case, Airtable! https://www.tampermonkey.net/)To use it, you'll need to set up the exact field IDs and colors that you want those fields to be in this bit:const colorMap = { "fldI5EIoOG25a85F7": { r: 255, g: 224, b: 204 }, "fldxj4ka7M2FwkJAP": { r: 207, g: 245, b: 209 }, "fldAPHkUW98PsaZV3": { r: 255, g: 234, b: 182 }}; For the colors, just google 'Color Picker' and a bunch of options will show up (when I did this Google actually popped up its

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.

I’d love to see an integration or extension for Airtable that enables automated image generation using data from records. Many teams—especially in marketing, eCommerce, and sales—often need to create social media posts, banners, product visuals, or branded creatives. Doing this manually is time-consuming, especially when the content changes frequently.Use Case Examples: Marketing Teams – Automatically generate social media graphics or ad creatives based on campaign details in Airtable. E-commerce Businesses – Create product banners that update dynamically with new prices, SKUs, or images from Airtable records. Sales Teams – Generate personalized outreach banners using client-specific fields (like name, company, or offer). HR & Internal Comms – Design recruitment creatives, event posters, or announcemen

I saw this post from the r/Airtable subreddit and was interested to get our Community’s thoughts on Airtable as a solution to the goal identified by the user.From the Reddit post: Hey guys, I have been using Notion for well over 6 years and I have toted its amazingness for all of those years. However, it has come to the point that I simply need to be able to print a Gantt chart or timeline view straight from the software and it just does not do that. I have asked Notion support 15+ times over those 6 years and I get the same response every time.I have 10 users and we manage around 30 projects in the construction industry at any given time. In Notion I have a database of our projects with properties for information regarding those projects as well as a separate database for just task tracking. Th

Hey Y'all! My name is Louis Piotti from Philadelphia. I work as the CEO of the nonprofit AfterShock Fam (aftershockfam.org) and the CTO & Co-Founder for Polaris Pathways (polarispathways.com) and I also do custom builds for businesses from large manufacturers, festivals, workshops, and schools.I just spend hours banging my head against a wall trying to find how to merge records similar to the De-Dupe Extension but would just do it automatically and just built it.I shared the template for everyone to use along with all the code / prompt history in hopes that less people have to goes through 1000 records 1 by 1 on the De-Dupe extension haha AIRTABLE TEMPLATE: https://airtable.com/appdymmnNJo098vJG/shrssRCuFQcrla1Rc FINAL SCRIPT:

This blog post by Airtable recommends using Airtable as a DAM (digital asset management) tool.My company uses Airtable as a DAM, and when I was a consultant, I worked on projects involving using Airtable as a DAM. Airtable's blog article leaves out a few concepts that you should consider if you want to use Airtable as a DAM.- Most DAMs also provide CDN (content delivery network) services. Airtable has stated that it is not designed to be a CDN. The loss of permanent attachment URLs matches the idea of Airtable not being a CDN. If you want to use Airtable as a DAM, make sure that you don't also need it to be a CDN.- Most of the systems that I have built for using Airtable as a DAM involved at least one third-party service, and some use multipl

Hi friends we have just launched an iOS app named AirKit on App Store which is just made for Airtable user. The problem it solves is straightforward: it takes so many steps to create a single record in the current Airtable iOS app, why not we let Siri to do it? Just say “Hi Siri, AirKit add Tasks” (e.g. Tasks is one of your table name), you could light fast save important data to your base, check it out on App Store if you’re interested! Download link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/airkit/id6737947295A detailed introduction of why you will need AirKit:The traditional Airtable mobile experience can be frustrating. Navigating through multiple databases and tables takes time, and adding new records feels like a chore. AirKit solves these pain points with two powerful features that transform how you interact with your Airtable data.

*Original post has been updated to include a few more notes and screenshots*If you prefer working in the Airtable desktop app and wish you could create shortcuts that opened a base or interface in the desktop app instead of a browser window... I have somewhat of a workaround.The desktop app is essentially a web app. You'll be creating your own web app(s) using Safari 17 or higher. This method will require a Mac running Sonoma or Sequoia. Log into Airtable on Safari and navigate to the desired base or interface page that you want your web app to open to. (You'll be creating as many of these as you need, each opening to a specific base & table view or interface page)Copy the full URL in the address barIn the menu bar, navigate to File>Add to Dock... 

Here's something I created using automations with a script to allow me to get quick totals on any table view for specific values. I have 2 cases listed below and have found it to be a great way of collecting totals without having to create other linked records, rollups etc. Of course I have to hit the recalculate checkbox to get my total for each row, so it's not live, but I can live with that.  Also, you have to make sure your references are correctly spelled (Source Table, Source View, etc).  I hope others find it useful. I've attached the javascript below.let inputConfig = input.config(); let record_id = inputConfig['SummaryRecID']; // Reference the "Summary Table" let summaryTable = base.getTable("Summary Table"); // Fetch the specific record in

Hi Airtable Community,I urgently need clarification on the best Airtable plan for selling templates. I recently had a video call with the Airtable team, but my main concern wasn’t fully addressed, and I need to make a decision ASAP since I’m actively selling a product.My situation:I’m creating and selling Airtable templates that my clients should be able to fully edit—entering data, modifying records, updating menus, etc. Essentially, they need to use the template independently within their own workspace.I know that the Teams plan does not provide this level of flexibility, so I need to determine whether the Business or Enterprise plan is the right fit. While I have pricing details for the Business plan, I still don’t know the monthly cost of the Enterprise plan.My question:Which plan allows me to sell templates where my clients can fully edit and use th

Hello! Powersave - a chrome extension that allows to save to Airtable right from the browser, should now display a rich text editor for all text fields which have rich text formatting enabled.You can use markdown shortcuts in the editor and all Airtable markdown subset features are supported - bold text, italics, links, lists, headers, even checklists.Powersave can also update records as you browse so this can effectively be used for content management... I'm using it to manage content for my website as I click around now. But you can also use it for content audit, for example checking checkboxes on different pages.Happy to hear any feedback on this!

Hi everyone,I’ve been working on an overengineered but functional solution to send SMS reminders for my school’s classes. It’s a little unconventional, but it works for now! I’d love to hear any feedback or suggestions for optimising it further, especially from anyone with experience automating communications through Airtable.The Problem:We have hundreds of students across dozens of classes every day, and sending SMS reminders manually is no longer feasible. Hiring a communications manager isn’t in the budget yet, and solutions like Twilio are not cost-effective for us in New Zealand.The Current Workflow:Airtable as the Data Hub:Airtable stores all our class schedules, student rosters, and contact info.An automation sends an email 8 hours before each class, containing:The subject line: Key details like the class time, group name, and

Hi, After spending 20 years in the Salesforce community, I have moved on and have become enamored with Airtable. I am getting started in being an active part of this community and am sharing my efforts at scotthemmeter.com. I wanted to share my latest blog post which provides a workable example for obtaining Crypto prices from the Coinbase Pro API and populating it into Airtable. See the link below. https://scotthemmeter.com/2021/09/28/get-crypto-prices-with-airtable-scripts/ Hope you like it! Scott

I'm building a database for students in college. So the main table has Student ID, Name, Course 1, Course 2, Course 3, and so on, up to the highest number of courses a student is taking. I then want to create individual tables for each row in the main table in which I could report on student's progress in their respective courses each semester. Eventually, I want a reporting table with progress updates from all students that I can sort using semesters to report on students' progress in different semesters.I thought this should be the easiest thing to do but I have not been able to accomplish it. Can anyone point me to a guide or explain the main steps to do so. What are the limitations to this approach and is there a better way to do so?
