Hello Airtable Community!

My name is Akshar Patel (AP) and I am a Delivery Consultant here at Airtable. We are thrilled to announce a powerful new feature that will revolutionize the way you manage and import data into your Airtable bases: CSV Import in Interfaces.

What is CSV Import in Interfaces?

With this new feature, end users can seamlessly upload CSV files directly through the interface, making it easier than ever to add data to your Airtable base. Say goodbye to manual data entry and hello to efficiency!

We’ve heard from customers that supporting the ability to import CSVs in Interfaces can help unlock use cases like data entry for marketing teams, inventory management, and project planning. Interfaces can be a great fit for teams where not everyone needs access to the full underlying data, and with this launch, teams can still add in a lot of data without having to give data access to everyone.

Key Configuration Options:

  • Field Customization: Builders can choose which fields to enable for import.
  • Select Options: Builders have the flexibility to allow the creation of new select options.
  • Filter Integration: End users can only import rows from the CSV that meet the configured filters on the page.

Important Notes:

  • Linked Record Fields: Writing to Linked Record fields is not currently supported.
  • Updating Existing Records: The feature does not support updating existing records at this time.
  • File Size Limit: CSV files up to 5MB are supported.
  • Availability: This feature will be accessible on Business and Enterprise plans.

We can't wait for you to explore this exciting new addition to Airtable. Stay tuned for more updates and enhancements as we continue to refine and improve your user experience.

As always, your feedback is invaluable to us. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or suggestions. 

Thank you for being a part of our community!

A great new feature! Thank you! 😃 Regarding your notes, my top 2 wishes are (1) that this becomes available on team plans, and (2) that we could import into linked record fields as well.

Would be a cool feature, but very disappointing it's only available on business and enterprise. Not for me I suppose.

This is disappointing that this CSV Import tool is not available for Teams - especially since in the old Airtable Professional plan I could synchronization my CSV files via the integration that was taken away from the downgraded Teams plan.

Edit: Looking at the feature roadmap, this feature is stated to be available to everyone? Could you please clarify @Akshar_Patel ?

Edit 2:
I find the button to test it out, but it's not working in Teams plan. 😞
