I think it is time for Airtable to add recursive capabilities to data inside a table. I know it is challenging to implement, but the workaround users have been doing are truly not delivering the intentions and expected experience. It just feels limited not to be able to create subtasks, goals and subgoals, accounting systems, etc. There are so many ideas that would be finally unlocked and it would definitely take Airtable to a whole new level! ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? A text search bar that filters the list of automations in any given base. Search by automation name, name of modules within automations and automation descriptions. How does is solve the user problems? Allows for faster searching of automations when a base has a large number of them. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience?   ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Delete records using Automation. I want to move data from Table A > Table B. Currently there's no way without scripting to be able to do such a simple operation. Given that you can right click to delete a record, I'm shocked that this basic functionality is missing. How does is solve the user problems? Avoids major workarounds for what I would consider in a data management tool, to be core functionality. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? Everyone ... View more

      It would be helpful to be able to increase the right-hand width of the Automation List Panel Window. I am currently using a Mac laptop and a Chrome Browser and this is as far as I can move the right-hand panel boundary to the right.   The inability to increase the Automation List Panel window interfers with my ability to view a complete list of all the Automation Names & Descriptions at one time and makes organizing and using my automations much more complicated and time consuming than it should be.   Instead of just looking down a complete list of my automations with their whole names visible, I have to tap on the individual automation so the complete name appears in the middle Automations Build Panel.       I have the option to turn off the Automation List panel while I am working on the Automation Build (which is nice, but frankly unnecessary most of the time).   It is, however, necessary for me to see my complete list of automations for each base. This helps me better gauge which automations may no longer be needed, and how often an automation runs. The ability to look at my Automation List at one time completely helps me build more efficient workflows.   It would also be nice to have a total list of automations created summary line at top, and how many total automations my base as left as part of its plan.   Thank you for your consideration. ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? Add more imported data from each email imported from Outlook via Automations. Specifically I'm missing "Conversation ID" that could be very useful to automatically group emails that are part of a longer conversation. If possible, also being able to get at least PDF attachments would be amazing. How does is solve the user problems? I have to rely on one or more services to get these features today (Power Automate (has more data from each email) to Google Sheets, then using automations to import from Google sheets. As you already have a Outlook integration, adding a few more data points should be easy. How was this validated? Other services provide much more data points for Outlook emails. Who is the target audience? People that use Outlook and Automations to import emails from their inbox to Airtable. ... View more

Frustratingly, we can't create Grouped Logic, with AND and OR operators within Conditional Automation Actions. The above screenshot shows this limitation, where all conditions are locked into either AND or OR. I'd like to see this work identically to other areas within Airtable, where we can apply grouped logic nested within AND and OR operators. The above screenshot shows the grouping within a Grid View filter. I'd like to see the same mechanism for Conditional Logic within Automations. ... View more

PLEASE add the ability to use PDF export from page designer in automation! Or at least add the PDF as an attachment field in the record. The only way to get use out of the page designer is to manually download each record, would to use for creating static documentation of what a record looks like at a given time or send to client for review, etc. ...

Maybe Zapier has spoiled me, but it would be really nice to get a little more granular detail on our automation runs within our bases/workspaces. Right now, the only way to see any form of metadata re: automations is to go to individual automation’s run history, or to have admin privileges and see how many runs are left in your quota for that exact live billing period/month. I know it’s probably out of scope for this product to offer as granular of detail on these things as Zapier, but being able to look at run quantities from previous months/billing periods, or being able to see which automations are using most of the runs we have allocated would be really really nice from an operational standpoint! ...

I would find it very useful if there was an embed block that would be kind of similar to the page designer except that instead of printing it would be for embedding it into a website. The use case would be showing records from Airtable in a more customized way that would feel and look more just like a part of the webpage. Say I wanted to show a table with all our employees. Right now it would be via an embed view (which is great) but if I could design it to look and feel just like our website it would be very useful ... View more
