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?

Hi everyone — @kev here from Airtable! For those I haven’t yet met, I lead the teams responsible for Airtable Academy and Airtable Community. As we say goodbye to Airtable’s Q3, I wanted to offer a quick roundup of all of the helpful educational content that we launched in the Academy in this past quarter.

Powersave 3.0 is now available. It introduces custom matching, allowing you to set multiple rules to find the right Airtable record while browsing, even when the URL isn’t enough, such as in LinkedIn or Twitter DMs. Easily configure these matching rules without needing specific support for each platform. This feature is useful for CRM, content management, auditing, research, and tracking website changes. The idea is that as you browse, not matter where you are, relevant records should pop up for updates, effecticely making you use Airtable more.Feel free to reach out with any feedback and questions 🙌https://powersave.pro 

@AasiaWhen a form is submitted from he/she.  I want that Airtable to send a confirmation email for successfully submitting the form. 

Hi Airtable Community,I wanted to share Typeflow — a tool I built after seeing a common challenge among my Airtable consulting clients: quickly generating clean, formatted PDFs from Airtable data. Many of them needed a straightforward solution, and existing options required complicated setups or workarounds.What Typeflow OffersAutomated PDF generation from Airtable records without needing any code.Custom Google Docs templates for clear, professional documents.A more efficient approach to document generation that addresses a recurring issue for Airtable users.If this sounds familiar, check out Typeflow.us. Also, we’re currently offering a lifetime plan option, which could be a good fit if you’re looking to solve this need long-term. Happy to answer any questions or hear about your experie

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

Ever needed to get the initials of a name that had more than first and last name plus some weird dashes and what not?Try this formula, which can also be used to get the firstname and lastname with a workaround of find() and search() which only returns the position of the first space in the stringLEFT({Name},1) & LEFT(REGEX_EXTRACT(Name,"\\s(\\S+)$"),1) I hope this helps!

Ok, so first up i love airtable and think it is possible the greatest app ever made, i respect airtable and greatly appreciate the free version that they have given to us, it is AWESOME. I am not trying to abuse this generosity and i am not personally using this “Hack” as for reasons that will become obvious, the “Catch” makes it unusable for commercial use / the wider public. But works for personal uses as long as you are logged into the airtable account that has the videos uploaded. Same works for images and files i imagine. The Process Step 1: Upload video into airtable attachment field Step 2: Open this video so that you can see it playing Step 3: Right Click on the video and select “inspect” this opens up the coding for the website Step 4: Locate the web link for the uploaded video file, should be close to where the inspect element has taken you (Or Ctrl + F and enter a distinct word from the video name)

There has been quite a lot of interest here about sending PDF documents from you base automatically. Integromat recently introduced a PDF ‘app’ which converts HTML into a PDF and I thought I would see what could be achieved in a real world type scenario. I’ve written this up in a blog post which you can see here: Database Resources Sending a PDF document from your database with Integromat | Learn more about...

Hey everyone!We’re excited to announce that last week we released an Airtable integration for our static forms on Static.app.What does this mean for you?Now, you can easily collect form data by adding a simple code snippet to your static pages:<form static-form>...</form>Once that’s in place, all you need to do is connect Airtable, and you’ll start receiving your form submissions directly in your Airtable account.For a step-by-step guide, check out this article.We hope this makes your workflow even smoother!Let

Here're a few 'Run a Script' Action automations for integrating with MailChimp (create contact, tag contact, archive contact). In all examples, be sure to add your own values for mailchimpAPIKey and audianceId constants and add your own input variables e.g. email, firstName, lastName, organisation, tag etc.Note: these automations send the actual email address across to MailChimp instead of using an MD5 hash of it, as is recommended by MailChimp. Whilst these scripts are not necessarily insecure, the transport is still TLS encrypted (HTTPS), sending an MD5 hash is still a more secure method. CREATE A MAILCHIMP CONTACT// API Key a

Hello everyone 👋Powersave, my chrome extension to quickly save to Airtable right from the browser has just been updated.It now provides custom autofill configurations. You can configure different strategies to map values from websites to your fields:Pre-configured exact valuesExtracting meta values from the page's headUsing CSS selectors to pull values from the page bodyContextual reading via AIIf one strategy doesn’t work, you can set up a fallback. Powersave will try one strategy after another until a value is found.The other functionality such as bulk saving and updating records right from the browser has been improved.Big thanks to anyone giving it a try 🙌 Feel free to reach out to discuss any saving workflow!Martin

Hello,My team uses the Page Designer extension to export pdf files for our customers. Until recently, the urls were active when exporting PDF files, but now the urls no longer work. We absolutely need them. Could you please help us? Thank you in advance,

Hello Airtable Community!I'm excited to share a project that's been around since 2020, but I realized we hadn't directly shared it on this forum yet. It's called BaseQL, and it's a tool that I think could be really useful for Airtable users who are looking to build more complex applications or integrate Airtable data into their existing systems. Essentially, BaseQL provides a GraphQL API for Airtable to simplify the process of building custom applications and integrations using Airtable as your database.For those unfamiliar with GraphQL, it's a query language for APIs that allows you to request exactly the data you need, nothing more and nothing less. This can be particularly powerful when working with complex data structures like those we often create in Airtable.Here are some key features of BaseQL:Automatic schema generation: BaseQL creates a GraphQL schema based on your Airtable base structureSeamless integration: Allows you to leverage

Hi, How can I make that when a new user signs up he gets a unique ID in the Accounts table and every time he adds a new record in other tables his ID shows in the column?

Hello!When I open the extension Page Designer, I cannot edit the preferences, i cannot do anything but close it.Any ideas?

So, forms just got the option “Collect respondent email addresses automatically (sign-in required)”. When this option is checked and people open the form URL, they will be prompted to sign in with Airtable or make an account. After that, they can fill in the form and the email address they used to sign in or to create a new account with, will be stored in a auto created “created by” field in your table. This opens up the possibility to let people change their data, using their email address as a unique identifier. When a record, let’s say a client record, contains an email address, you can crosscheck this with the auto filled in email address in the “created by” field mentioned above, by prefilling and hiding it in an email field in the form. Via automations you can access the underlying email address from the “created by” field and check it against the one in the

Posting this here for anyone else who might find it helpful. While there are some great extensions for geocoding, I needed to simply convert an address into latitude and longitude and had a hard time finding a script to do it in Airtable + Google Maps API. I found this awesome script but had to modify it to only run on a particular view so that it didn't hit the automation / script limits. Here's my version for anyone looking for a way to geocode the record once it hits a particular view: Create number fields called Lat and Lng, get a Google Maps API key, create a view of records that have Address, but not Lat that can trigger an automation. let table = base.getTable('<TABLE NAME GOES HERE>');let view = table.getView('<VIEW NAME GOES HERE>');let result = await view.selectRecordsAsync({sorts: [{ field: 'Lat',

 One of my clients, an American production company, was spending a lot of time on invoices to the detriment of their high-value work – the production of corporate videos and ads. Consequently, to help them refocus on their core mission, I created for them a set of automations that streamline their invoice management system: data entry for inbound invoices, document generation and sending for outbound invoices. Those automations helped them reclaim around 10 hours of work per week. You can see what I built in 👉 this Loom

Hi! I am brand new to Airtable (and admittedly, brand new to the tech world in general), so I wanted to share my first project and get some feedback/suggestions. Some background on the project: My dad’s company is built almost entirely out of google drive and he is wanting to start transitioning over to Airtable to automate some processes that are currently being done tediously by his HR team. One of these tasks is keeping employees’ contact info updated regularly. Right now, this is being done by HR reaching out to employees individually to see if their info has changed and then manually updating in google sheets. Current Project: Import current employee info into new Airtable base and set up a form to be emailed quarterly to all employees which will allow them to change any information and update their record automatically once this form has been submitted. Step 1: I imported data straight from google sheets i

Hi everyone! For those of you that were in attendance for Airtable’s New Feature spotlight last week, you may have heard Howie’s announcement that Airtable Academy, our e-learning and certification program, will be universally available and rolled out to EVERYONE this October.  As Howie stated in the webinar: "Our goal is to make this the go-to resource to understand how to build an app—the data modeling concepts, the automation and logic concepts, the interfaces—and to further our mission of empowering a whole new generation of builders to create really useful apps that ultimately transform their operations and create awesome impact for their businesses." If you are a member of one of the 1,000+ Enterprises who’ve registered for the A

This article shows how to generate a PDF based on one of the DynamicDocs JSON to PDF templates from Airtable. PDF generation is done by setting up a script which can be prompted with a button. The script creates a JSON with underlying data from Airtable and uses DynamicDocs API to generate the PDF. The PDF is then downloaded and put into the Airtable attachment field. What is DynamicDocs API?DynamicDocs API is JSON to PDF API based on LaTeX that allows users to generate dynamic PDF documents i
