Hi everyone,
Pello here from Moonland. As an Airtable Gold Partner, we've developed some highly advanced tools in Airtable, including comprehensive ERPs and other intricate systems. While Airtable has provided us with a robust platform, there's one enhancement that could significantly elevate the user experience: leveraging bulk selection within Airtable interfaces for automations.
What is the proposed idea/solution?
The idea is to enable the use of bulk selections, made after applying filters in Airtable interfaces, to trigger automations. Currently, bulk selection in interfaces is limited to native functions like deleting rows. Extending this capability to automations would allow for more seamless and efficient workflows.
How does it solve user problems?
This enhancement would greatly improve the user experience by eliminating the need for cumbersome workarounds, such as using additional checkboxes, which complicate the UI/UX. With this feature, users could quickly select filtered records and apply automations directly, streamlining processes and saving valuable time.
How was this validated?
The limitation of the current workaround has been consistently noted by users who require more intuitive and efficient ways to manage bulk data operations. The existing process can be cumbersome and detracts from the overall user experience. By enabling bulk selection for automations, Airtable could offer a much more refined and user-friendly interface.
Who is the target audience?
This feature would be especially beneficial for users managing large datasets or complex workflows, such as people working in logistics or manufacturing (who use Airtable as an ERP).
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this idea. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to create more effective tools. Thanks for taking the time to read this post!
Pello
