What is the proposed idea/solution? Offer metadata for automations via the REST API. Helpful values to return would be: [Base ID], [Automation ID], [Folder (If Applicable)], [On or Off] It would also be great to provide an option to obtain the Automation History with query parameters to enable precise tracking and error catching within an organization's workflow. I think that the Make API documentation offers a few great blueprint for each of these two endpoints: [List Scenarios] for Automations [List Scenario Logs] or [Get Execution Log] for Automation History How does is solve the user problems? Provides insights into the current status of automations, and facilitates smoother resolution of automation errors. How was this validated? Many other platforms offer this, and the Airtable Metadata API already exists to provide similar information for other aspects of Airtable. Who is the target audience? Heavy users of the Airtable API.

Currently the Airtable Web API only supports the retrieval of workspace ids with Get enterprise. We would like to get workspace names in order to automatically validate naming conventions. Thanks.

We use a Snowflake integration on an enterprise plan and would really like to have a more frequent automatic refresh time (every 3 hours ideally) other than the 6 hour refresh time. Our data in Snowflake updates roughly every hours so the 6 hour refresh defeats the functionality of getting the data we need quickly throughout the work day. The data sets we pull from are quite large so manually refreshing the data sometimes causes the integration to break if multiple API requests are made at the same time, so I would much rather use the automatic refresh feature than the manual option.

In order to enforce standardised user management and permission policies on admin panel or through Enterprise API it would be great to be able to disable invite/share notifications. E.g. when changing from workspace permissions to equal base permissions users are notified. This causes users to get huge amount of email notifications and some might flag those as spam.

Security, sustainability, traceability and file management headaches would be significantly reduced if a file existed in one place, under a single corporate entity, with a single set of permissions and shared across SAAS integrations. It would be awesome if a file in Box could be published into an Airtable attachment field in an airtable record without copying it into the Airtable tenant and consuming storage. If a Box link were dragged into an Airtable attachment field and dropped, could Airtable interrogate the file permissions in Box to see if it is allowed? If so, present the thumbnail provided by Box as a preview. Click on the link, and it provides the Box preview as it does today and download capability. If the user's Box login could authenticate download, that would be amazing. Allowing the API to establish the link would be essential. Sustainability +++ Security +++ Ease of use +++

My organization has developed an extension using the block APIs to perform repetitive tasks and run analytics on our bases. This has been working great, but the issue is that our workflow involves creating one base per project. With the current block APIs, this requires the developers in our organization to go into each new base, start the extension creation process to retrieve the blockId, then run some command to add the new remote, and finally deploy the extension to the new base. As we expand our usage of Airtable and create new bases, this is quickly becoming unmanageable, as each base requires the developers to run these commands. My idea is to allow extensions to be released at the organization level. Then, when a user creates a new base, they can go over to add an extension, see all the extensions owned by their organization, and add the extension to the new base they have created.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Provide access to API endpoints that users can call to fetch data about their automations in a base. Just adding some GET endpoints for read-only access would be a massive help. How does is solve the user problems? Currently users need to go into each base, then into the automations & navigate everything manually. Access to this data through an API would allow organizations an overview of which automations they have active/inactive across their organization. It would be even more helpful if the payload provided detailed information such as the settings of each step in the automation, error logs, and data about the created by/timestamp, as well as last updated by / timestamp. How was this validated? By dealing with the headache of not having it. We manually update all of our script steps / automations in our repository, very tedious. Automations have broken many times but silly things like a field name that is used in a script step getting removed or renamed. Debugging through Airtables error log is very slow and a terrible UX. Who is the target audience? Admins & developers, any company using multiple base in Airtable

What is the proposed idea/solution? Include the ability to "store" or "save" scripts and processes for reuse in multiple automations. How does it solve the user problems? Instead of having to manage multiple automations using the same script/process, they can be modified/updated in a single place and update all automations that use them once changes are published. Pipedream does a nice job of this. It would save me a lot of time, and reduce the potential for errors. How was this validated? Personal experience managing complex automations Who is the target audience? Airtable power users and consultants

What is the proposed idea/solution? Please make it possible to sync the google drive in an automation or from an API call as an extra option beside just the 5 minute interval or manual click in the airtable><Google Drive table that is currently available. How does is solve the user problems? When you are designing workflows in an airtable interface and the flow is touching on a document that is created and then stored in a google drive, your workflow is automatically interupted now until the sync is completed between airtable and Google drive before you can work with the data from the newly created document. The only way to bypass this lagg currently is by manually going into the table and press the "sync now" button. However, in many use cases (including mine), you dont want the customer to go into the data part of airtable. How was this validated? I have been looking online and the only somewhat relevant info is on how to keep the table "alive" by setting up an automation on an interval. But that doesnt solve the problem as it still requires you to wait a few minutes for the sync to automatically occur. Who is the target audience? Workflow designers who have customers who only get access to interfaces or external access (like softr, make etc.)
