I built directly in Airtable a way to let users schedule an automation run at a certain time with unlimited time options, e.g. "run a send an email automation on X day at Y time" where that datetime is infinitely dynamic (great for situations where the regular "scheduled an automation" doesn't work).Typically this use case is when you need some kind of "job queue" or "message queue" system that is handled in most traditional software development with cron jobs and message or event streaming queues like Sequin, Kafka, QStash, RabbitMQ, etc (or in the Airtable community, with Make.com automations). But I wanted to build this natively in Airtable with no dependencies on external tools to keep it really simple. Airtable's fastest "cron job" is 15 minute intervals so that doesn't work by itself. Being a set interval, it's also not relative to the scheduled time so theoretically it could create up to a 14 min 59 second delay.So below I'm sharing my firs

Hey all,we've just added a Mailchimp connector to https://syncgrip.com, our integration platform that connects Airtable with other apps. It will allow you to manage your Mailchimp audiences straight from Airtable via real-time, two-way data syncing.Here's a short demo taken from BuiltOnAir podcast last week, where we showcased Syncgrip.It takes <5 mins to get started and we're still in free Beta, so give it a try!

Hi there!I am thrilled to officially announce the release of Air WP Sync for WooCommerce, the ultimate plugin for seamless WooCommerce management and synchronization with Airtable.Discover it now!Building upon our legacy of innovative solutions like Air WP Sync – Airtable to WordPress, WP connect is evolving to offer a powerful tool for E-commerce business. This new plugin is not just an addition to our suite; it’s a leap forward, offering a more sophisticated, feature-rich platform for online store management.

I need to pull some data from a computed field (actually a filtered lookup field) in Airtable to prefill a form in Jotform. It should be easy as Jotform have introduced the feature (bizarrely under the publish menu) but despite several ways of trying, it will not map to computed fields.My inteded workaround is to map it to a long text field which an automation would update with the value from the lookup field, triggered if the lookup field is not empty. On mapping the fields in the automation, Airtable greys out the lookup field {Instruments} reporting the same issue as occurred whilst trying to mp directly from Jotform, that the field cannot be used because it's computed.I've spent a whole week on this. I've tried converting to text, using a string, an array, and concatenating, but of course, they all need computed fields to hold and reference them.  Anyone know a workaround? 

 Hi guys, Overwhelmed with all the invoices, payments and accounting entries you've got to do manually? Then this is for you! This 👉 new demo video 👈 is a sequel to a first video I had recorded on the topic of invoice management automations. This one will more specifically show you:the integration between Airtable and an accounting software (Pennylane)payment links sent through Stripe and automatic payment updatesSlack notifications when a teammate comments on an invoice This set of automations had my client save 5 to 7 hours a week (yay!). If you have improvements to suggest, I'm all ears. Take care.

Wasn't really sure what I was trying to ask here, so hopefully someone understands what I am trying to achieve1We are building a custom CRM for a Financial Planning Business - probably 80% of the way there, just working out the last bits.Where I am getting unstuck - we have client attached to a client group (thing husband and wife) and we have their investment accounts linked to them. Some providers have a unique Client ID and then can have multiple underlying accounts linked to that Client ID.Currently we have a Client Group Table, Client table (for the individual members), Platform Client ID Table (to link the members to their unique ID with any providers), and a Platform account table (where individual accounts are linked back to the unique Client IDs).This all works great, until we have an account that is owned jointly between members, and we end up with a double up (and the value is counted twice).

Hello,A few weeks ago, I created an interface by a layout where I could display all my datasets from Table (1) as a Record List on the left side. On the right side, I could flexibly arrange the data from the table as well as insert data from another Table (2) that is linked to the records of Table (1). (See screenshot)Recently, I can no longer find this layout configuration. Either I select Record Review but then I can only insert the data from Table (1) and only the direct linkage from Table (2), and that too can only be arranged in groups.OrI select Blank Layout, and here I can only insert a Record Picker but no Record List on the left side.Was there an update to interfaces and this layout is no longer possible, or how can I now create an interface that is set up exactly like the one in the screenshot I attached?

I wanted to share a free little browser extension I built to solve a personal workflow issue, and I thought it might be helpful for others here too!The tool lets you save and quickly access several of your most used forms, and quickly fill those out directly from your browser's side panel. It saves time by removing the need to switch tabs, you can keep forms handy while working on something else. It works with Airtable forms and other form platforms like Fillout, Typeform, Jotform, etc.My use case was to quickly create tasks into Airtable from data in my email. I also shared it with a client of mine who wanted the ability to create contacts and tasks into Airtable, from their CRM tool. This doesn't access their CRM, but allows quick data entr

Hi all, I wanted to share with you the new (paid) extension that I created :slightly_smiling_face: This extension will help you batch rename attachments based on the record filed values, I created it because there wasn’t a simple way to do it in Airtable already. The extension supports custom and advanced names, for example, you can automatically name the files with a “file count” of the attachment, e.g. “file_1_of_2”. Really hope with would be handy for someone here in the future ZekTec - Airtable Extensions

Is it possible to add multiple spreadsheets at once?I have around 250 spreadsheets that we need to import for analysis. Can this be done using native functionality in Airtable, or will I need to use extensions?Knowing this information is crucial for our decision regarding the Airtable subscription purchase. If this functionality is not available, we will not proceed with Airtable.I look forward to your prompt response. Thank you!

Hey Airtable community! 👋I'm excited to share something I've been working on that's made my life so much easier with Airtable, especially when dealing with multiple tables.Like many of you, I manage dozens of tables (about 100 in my case), and finding the right table to add a record quickly has always been a pain point.

Hey everyone!I've been learning to code and working on developing some apps. For my first, I decided to solve my own problem.It seems there's no easy way to download all the tables from an Airtable at once (you have to export them one by one).So I built 👉 exportmybase.comHope it's useful to someone. Feedback welcome 🙂

I noticed that your site features businesses in our industry, such as SurveySparrow and Zonka Feedback. We’d love to have our business, [SurveySensum], included as well.Since I couldn’t find an option to add our industry, could you let me know how we might be able to get featured on your site?

I'm trying to add a heading / subheading in my Airtable form to separate the different sets of questions. On the Airtable "how to create a form" page, there is this image containing a "subheading" field:The circled "sub-heading" option doesn't seem to exist anywhere when I'm creating new fields. Am I missing something or did they make a mistake on the Support page?

On a recent task I reached my limit for the annoying and time-consuming implementation of a PDF document generation process for Airtable. I just had to find a way to eliminate lots of steps. Lacking the use of integrated tool sets the likes of which @kuovonne and On to Air has created, most of mine have embraced a process like this. As you can see in the list, the workflow involves a lot of steps that are dependent on services all working perfectly as expected. Not to mention that there is a significant amount of processing time involved with all of these steps combined. Airtable → Automation → Script → Webhook → Google Apps Script → Airtable API → Google Document (template) → Google Drive → Google Apps Script → Airtable API → Airtable I really want this: Airtable → Scrip
