Show and Tell

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

Filters and their labels also have the standard text and color stylingAlignment and Sizing Fil

Hey everyone.Exporting Airtable manually as CSV and saving to Dropbox can be quite manual for an important systematic process that needs to happen regularly. In addition, enabling it with tools like Make and Zapier can also be fiddly. Here is a way of doing it in one click, all in one platform:https://www.csvgetter.com/blog/export-airtable-to-dropboxLet me know what you think!

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?

I'm trying to use the trigger function in Airtable to determine the webhooks module in Make.com, but it's not working. I'm using the paid versions of both Airtable and Make.com. Interestingly, the same functionality works perfectly on another page in Airtable. I have no idea what the issue could be. What should I check to resolve this problem? Please help me.

The automation currently we are using only works on new records. Is there any way to push the automation to run on existing records in the same table? Right now, when form received, it will create new record. Goal is when form received, it will auto fill out the existing records in the table. Appreciate your help. Thank you!

Hey all!Wanted to share something we built: a plugin for connecting Gravity Forms to Airtable.Gravity Forms is one of the more popular form builders in WordPress, and we (Gravity Wiz) build plugins for Gravity Forms (yes, plugins for plugins, inception). If you build using Gravity Forms, this Airtable connection lets you send Gravity Forms data straight into Airtable and use Airtable's features with that data. We wrote a blog post about the connection here.If have questions, hit me with them. And I'd love to hear if there are any Gravity Forms builders in here. 😄

I'm starting to get really good at the scripting thing and am really having fun with this platform. If you aren't paying for the upgraded plan to be able to use scripting, you should consider it. There are so many things that I have been able to fix or create that I couldn't with the general platform for general tasks.As I am building up a large number of automations, I sometimes have difficulty remembering what I may have done 2 weeks ago, etc. I have a paid ChatGPT account and asked it to document my code and to put it into dokuwiki format so I could host it on our wiki page for other team members to help debug, etc.It's pretty incredible how well it does it.  You can see the output here: https://wiki.chattlab.org/code_breakdown for one of the sample cases.In another case, I asked it to look at the code and make a text based flowchart of it, and it gave me the block below.  It's s

Hey all! A few months ago I posted about the tool I built that lets you customize and embed Airtable data on any website.I've implemented the feedback I got from here (Thanks again!) and am excited to share a new template that lets turn Airtable records into a Logo Slider.This template is a great way to showcase logos from customers.You can:Adjust the speed of the sliderTurn the logos grayscale or colorPause the slider on hover (this can be turned off)Add hyperlinks to the logos >> This is done via the action menu in the sidebarThe template is free to use!All you need to do is, head to www.shareables.aiChoose the Logo Slider template that you can plug your Airtable data into.Use the editor to customize it to fit your needs.

Hey Airtable community! I'm new to Airtable and still learning all the ins and outs. I'd like to create a grid view (for my leadership) that pulls from multiple grids across different bases. Is this possible? If not, is there another way to think about solving for this use case? Appreciate the help!Sarah

A question arose recently that’s come up a few times in the past: is it possible to give form users the ability to either pick an item from a predefined list or add their own “other” option, and have manually-added options actually appear in the list for later form users? For most of Airtable’s existence so far, this wasn’t possible (at least not without delving into the API, and even then I’m not completely sure that was doable). However, it can be done using Airtable’s automation feature. Here are two methods you can use: Method 1: Single Select Field Most of the time this question comes up, the user is probably thinking of using a single select field. While this will work, it comes with a couple caveats that actually make the second method preferable IMO. That said, some of the details that I share here will also be used in the second method, so I still recommend reading through this one. First, define your single select options as you wish, with an option

Summary This setup allows Airtable to automatically number collections of items that may not be in sequential order. Item length can be either fixed or variable, with only minor changes needed to the core system to accommodate the latter. Example To borrow from the thread that inspired this endeavor, say you’re building product codes that have a variant sub-code, and want that sub-code to automatically increment each time an item of a given product code is added in a new record. However, it needs to auto-increment each product’s sub-code separately, even when product codes are added out of order. For example, the first product code is 001, and its initial sub-code is 1, so the full combined code is 001-1. When you add a new variation of product 001, the sub-code bumps up by 1, creating 001-2. Now a new product is introduced with

My company uses Airtable to join multiple tables, calculate statistics, and automate the linking of values between linked fields in different tables using the "Run Script" automation feature. Occasionally, we encountered failures due to the 30-second execution time limit for the "Run Script." However, starting in December, the limit was extended to 60 seconds, which has effectively resolved this issue. We are grateful for Airtable's continuous efforts to improve its performance.
