Hey folks! I just launched ETL++ on the Airtable’s Marketplace, it pulls data from your APIs into Airtable and keeps it fresh with automatic schedules (Starter & Pro). I’m also building custom features for early users, so if you need special mappings/endpoints, tell me!Would love your feedback to make it better.Start here: airtable.com/marketplace/blk6dxkSH2iFsjPDm/etl-plus-plus· Quick start: Welcome | Docs· Support: requests@autometasolutions.com

Put together a video tutorial on how to build a mini invoice generator app with Interfaces.Might be useful for people who want to allow team members to run specific automations, without giving them full access to the base.  Disclaimer: In the video I use DocuPotion to generate PDFs (via an Airtable automation). DocuPotion is a paid third party tool (although you do get a free trial).

Hello there!There's been a lot of talk about AI agent and MCP servers lately.  I decided to cut through the buzz and figure out what if it can do something useful for my work with Airtable. I decided to spend a weekend researching this and honestly got frustrated with how not user friendly it all was. Make introduced MCP servers - but it was not very useful. Zapier was pretty good, but did not have ability to create tables and fields.There were 2 code projects for Airtable MCP servers (project 1, project 2). I can code but most of my clients or my channel viewers at first mention of installing coding environment locally will just check out. After some more digging I found a way how to set up remote MCP server that can be connected to a chat client (with Claude.ai being the most user friendly now) . This simple proof of concept that you can actually play with right now is here: https://airtable-mcp.business-automated.com/ This is obviously just a proof of concept to let people test thin

 This topic has been discussed a ton on this forum and people still have trouble with generating PDFs in Airtable. So this guide shows the different ways I generate clean PDFs from Airtable: Printing from Grid / Gallery / List / Calendar views Printing from Interfaces Page Designer (and where it breaks) Google Docs templating via Make Google Sheets templating for variable line items An HTML method. If you’ve ever struggled with invoice PDFs, long line items, or getting clean printable layouts out of Airtable, this might help.That last method is very powerful. I've printed 400 page compendiums with multiple nested tables and complex uniquely formatted reports using HTML.Formatting reference for Google Docs/Sheets exports (margins, page size params):https://vikasvimal.com/resources/8-formatting-gdrive-pdf-exportsHappy to answer questions if useful.

I’ve not been this excited about a product since 2019, when I first discovered Airtable. Fillout’s Zite merges two things: no-code building, and vibe coding. This means we can build apps on top of Airtable’s fine backend faster and with much better UI than Softr or Bubble or other alternatives.Here’s an Asana-like app I built in under 4 hours. Backend is Airtable. Asana-like interface for Airtable.Comes with drag and drop, planning, and task grouping. Zite is new, but if this is what I could build in 4 hours, think what could be built if the budget was a year’s worth of Asana subscription for a 15 person team!! Try out the Task manager app (you could log in using Google account and just use it. It is linked to a throwaway backend): App: https://taskflow.zite.so/Airtable backend: https://airtable.com/app5L3DQEHnDIFxIq/shrNzcuDHp3fJ7cFW I made a video showcasing a few tools I built over a week or so:  Top link is an affiliate link — you get extra AI credits, I might get a coffee.Check ou

Here’s a quick guide on how to create an automation that deletes records automatically!  (Needs a paid plan for access to the Run a Script automation action)Possible use cases include:Records over a year old to be cleared out automatically Deleting flagged duplicates Resetting daily / weekly logs for reporting, etc I’ve put together an example base where everything’s set up for reference, and here’s a gif of the automation running.  First, we’ll create an automation that triggers when the ‘Delete’ checkbox is ticked, and add a Run a Script action to it: We’ll then paste in the following code:let {recordId, tableId} = input.config()await base.getTable(tableId).deleteRecordAsync(recordId)The code uses `recordId` and `tableId`, so we’ll define those as input variables by clicking ‘Add input variable’ on the left:You can see how we typed in ‘recordId’ and ‘tableId’ manually, then selected the appropriate option via the dropdown menu For ‘recordId’, we select the record ID of the triggering

Hello :wave: Over the years I’ve discovered you can do all sorts of amazing things with Webhooks. …and with Airtable introducing their native Webhooks feature, it just removed a bunch of “hoop jumping” pain that was required for me to get my data into Airtable :star_struck: With this post I wanted to do a quick walk through of how I use the new Airtable Webhooks feature with native Webflow forms. Now, I can submit my Webflow forms directly into Airtable without using services like Make, Integromat, or Zapier :exploding_head: Let’s build! Setup Airtable Standard stuff here. New Airtable base with a “name” column in it. Automations Flip over to the “Automations” tab. The Magic Here’s the magic :star_struck: Our new Webhook trigger. I copy the new Webhook URL to my clipboard. Webflow Form I create a generic Webflow form. Nothing special here. With the default form block I get a name and email field. For this quickie run through, I blow them away and just leave the forms submi

Have you ever wished it was easier to get new contacts into Airtable from various web forms? Or send marketing emails to people in your tables without manually exporting-importing data? Now you can! We at Outfunnel have added an Airtable integration , that makes it super easy to connect Airtable to email marketing tools like Mailchimp or ActiveCampaign, or web forms like Wix Forms, Elementor, Contact Form 7 and Facebook Lead Forms. So that the next time you send out a newsletter, you can skip the export csv-import csv bit. We’ll continuously be adding marketing tools you can create connections with (at least 2-3 more coming before the end of the year eg. Calendly). How is this better or different than tools like Zapier, you may ask. Generic app integration tools are great for creating basic connections between Airtable and other apps. But deeper marketing use cases can get complex and pricey very quickly. We’re a team of marketing and sales pros and we’ve poured our hearts into making

Pick the source table / field and the destination table / field and the script handles the rest!Unfortunately, automation scripting doesn’t have the ability to update option colors and so the Scripting Extension is our only option for now! Let me know if you face any issues and I’ll do what I can to help!---Scripts (installation instructions below)Duplicating to the same table: let settings = input.config({ title: `Copy select field options to the same table`, items: [ input.config.table("table", { label: `Table` }), input.config.field("copyField", { parentTable: `table`, label: `Select field to copy options from` }), input.config.field("pasteField", { parentTable: `table`, label: `Select field to paste options into` }), ],});let { table, copyField,pasteField } = settings;const options = copyField.options const cleaned = options.choices.map(({ id, ...rest }) => rest);await pasteField.updateOptionsAsync({choices: cleaned}) Duplicating to another table:le

Hey everyone! I’m Becky and I’m on the Customer Success team at Airtable. I’m currently collecting Airtable users’ favorite tips and tricks so I wanted to reach out and hear directly from our awesome community here! What are some Airtable tips and tricks that you can’t live without? Are there any formulas that you wish you knew about earlier? Are there any Blocks that are game changers for you? What about Zapier integrations that are automating your workflow? One of our favorite tricks? Using the DATEADD formula to automatically return dates after a specified time or date interval. It’s perfect for building out a timeline or schedule for your workflow. For example, let’s say you’re using Airtable to manage a content production cycle where the first draft is due 14 days before the publication date, and the final draft is due 5 days before the publication date. To set this up, you can add the following fields: Publication Date (date field): Select your publication date First Draft (form

Here's a quick guide on how to use a Make Webhook to trigger updates in Airtable!  Here's a link to the base where it's set up, and I've also included the JSON for the scenario at the end of this post in case anyone would like to just import the scenario directly into their Make account instead!One thing to keep in mind with this method is that it will open a new tab for the user, so it's important to close these tabs once they've been used. I've seen a rare case where webhook tabs opened on an iPad weren't closed right away. A week later, closing these tabs refreshed the page and unexpectedly triggered the webhooks again; that was...interesting to troubleshoot Here we append the webhook URL with "?record_id=" to indicate that we're passing a value named "record_id" to Make, allowing us to use it in the Make Scenario:  https://hook.us1.make.com/38jqh9w2gh123ava12y44hfp37o9c1m?record_id=" & RECORD_ID()  After this, we click the button to load up the URL once

Hi community, In the past months I’ve been running a new service that can watch your Airtable schema - or even data - and react in real time. It started alongside my Stripe invoicing product, and now also includes a changelog for fields and tables. This is especially useful in larger bases where several people change tables and the overall structure can shift without anyone noticing. The schema changelog works simply: it reacts to field and table changes right away and can either send events to your webhook or log them in a dedicated Schema Changes table. If you use the table approach, you can review the history yourself and keep track of what your colleagues or clients have modified. You can also ask Airtable Omni to summarize recent changes automatically - it works nicely with this dataset. And since these are just Airtable records, you can discuss key changes directly in comments, like clarifying why a new field was added. The service connects to Airtable with permission to read the

Hey Airtable users 👋I've been working with clients as an Airtable consultant for the past few years (mostly in the European market) and this is a very common request I get.Therefore I built the following 3 "plugins" for my platform AirPluginsBackup base as XLSX - receive a full base backup as xlsx daily via email or webhookExport table or view as XLSX - gives you a link to click (& store somewhere) so you can export data anytimeExport linked records as XLSX - gives a link that allows to export linked records as xlsxThere are also other Airtable plugins available.Feel free to PM me if you have any question, suggestion or request on these plugins.Florian

I was inspired by Studio Source Yearbooks’ case study on building forms for Airtable that would let customers see live pricing, calculate totals automatically, and apply discounts for returning clients. They tested several form solutions for Airtable before deciding on Plumsail Forms with JavaScript.   Adding JavaScript opened up possibilities that other form builders couldn’t easily handle. Instead of being limited to static formulas or one-way logic, they built a fully interactive order form that could run calculations, validate data against their backend system for schools, and keep everything consistent.  What the order form does now:  Show live pricing and totals The form calculates license costs based on quantity. If a customer is returning, it automatically applies a loyalty discount.    Check if a customer already exists When a returning client enters their email, the form calls the backend API to look up their details. If a match is found, it pre-fills company information and

Hi everyone.As part of my job, I have to send a form to my customers, so that they can provide me with production data. iToday, this transfer is done via an Excel file.Tomorrow I'd like to digitize the method.I'm looking to create a form template, which will be sent to my customers, so that they can provide me with the information.The form filled in by the customer must be unique (unique url).The customer would also need to be able to consult and modify the form at any time.At certain times, he can't collect the information all at once.It would also be interesting if the unique form were password-protected.The data will be stored in a dedicated table.Do you have any ideas on how to go about this?Thank you very much!
