Here is Airtable's official solution:
So sorry about the trouble you are encountering with Page Designer! Our new attachment functionality unfortunately will result in the attachment URL expiring after time when used as a static image. To workaround this change, you can use an Attachment Field instead of a static image URL. Here is what this workflow would look like:
- Create another table called Static Image Templates, and have it include an Attachment field
- Add a record into that table, and upload the desired image onto the record
- In the original table where you are using the Page Designer extension, create:
- 3a: A new Linked Record field referencing “Static Image Templates”
- 3b: A new Lookup field referencing that “Attachment” field. Let’s call this “Reference Image Template” for example
4. Set the result of step 2 into the field from step 3a in. every row into the original table. (Essentially, linking records from the newly created Static Image Templates table to your original table)
5. Finally, back in the Page Designer app, change that image from using a raw URL, to instead use the “Reference Image Template” field from 3b.
In short, the workflow above is using the image field within Page Designer instead of the image URL that now expires.
