I love AirTable, one of my usecase is bookmarking URL in order to build Newsletter, relevant content, etc …
The unoficial Chrome Extension is great but lack of sync and UI
The WebClipper is good but a little bit young
I think there is some good ideas with Memex:
GitHub
WorldBrain/Memex
Browser Extension to full-text search your browsing history & bookmarks. - WorldBrain/Memex
It could be interesting to have a bridge between both services or implementation in WebClipper
Indexing bookmarks and all pages is really cool
Putting notes/tags on page area is awesome

I love the time tracking block. It is incredibly powerful, and made even better by the fact that you can run multiples of them. I spent a lot of time toggling back and forth between airtable dev on the structures and stuff, and data entry and wanted to track each individually so I had 2 that i was pausing and starting/ stopping as needed. It would be amazing if the block allowed you to show/ hide the entry name or title so you know which one you are working on. see attached screenshot and envision that the title of row 2 is at the header of the top tracker, and the title of row 3 is displayed as the header of the bottom tracker, wont let me include an image :frowning:

There are a couple of posts that are similar, but not specific to these suggestions– Issue: When I click on the Start Tracking button the list of records comes up for me to choose one. Great. But it cannot be filtered or sorted. With (potentially) hundreds of records to scroll through to find the correct one, the chance of selecting an incorrect record is high, and it is a severe disincentive to use the Time Tracker Block. Solution: Have the Time Tracker Block display the records as they are viewed, not as they are entered in the table. In other words, the record selection list in Time Tracker should display the current view of the primary field. Issue: Rounding of recorded time. One must build a separate function within the table to provide any rounding of the time recorded. This adds work, possible errors, and complexity to the table. Most people I know want to round to the nearest 1/4, 1/2, or whole hour, either up or down. And while I understand there may be people who need to track time by the minute, a significant application of the Time Tracker is for the purpose of calculating charges for clients or pay for employees. I’ve never met anyone who charges or pays by the minute. Solution: Provide some functionality to the Time Tracker Block that will automatically apply certain default rounding, such as “Nearest 1/4 hour”, “Nearest 1/2 hour”, “Nearest hour” with another selection of “Round Up” or “Round Down”. Thanks

Probably a lot can be borrowed from the maps API implementation in Blocks. Would be super awesome to enter an address and have the Base then ‘know’ the timezone of that record! Cheers.

Since calculated fields cannot be merged, why have them appear in the dedupe block’s merge interface? If you have a lot of calculated fields it’s a lot of clutter with no purpose.

It would be great to see an option to add sections to the page builder. This could really increase the flexibility of the visual data on the page by having option of when to display that data if particular fields are empty. For example, you have a linked record that may not always get completed dependant on the task, but currently if you want to print that data you would have to set it up in the page builder anyway and print blank fields. By creating a section, you could drop a group of fields in there and select which ones need to be complete before this section will show. This would also work really well with larger invoices, rather than guess the number of lines you may need, the sections would push the lower order section down the page. Hopefully this makes some sense because it would be awesome to use… in my opinion 😄

Hi there, I‘m searching for a way to detect duplicate entries in a table. My table contains event names, currated by me. I have a form that anyone can use, to suggest new events. When someone submits an event, I‘d like the table to warn me that an event with a similar name already exists. Any idea how to do this? Thanks

I am using Airtable for our Cattle Trading Marketplace and also for the Animal Feed business I’m involved in. I want to use Page Designer to mail first the deal information and secondly the contracts for each deal. It will save me hours of time because from the records, the dealsheet and contract get populated with data, and if I can just email it as a PDF it will be super. In the mean time thanks for a great effort with Airtable. Never heard of it since a few months ago, but it is awesome and a real lifesaver. Kind regards,Drikus EKsteen

I used this workflow. 1.scan an existing barcode on a third party list to create barcode number on an item using iPhone and adding number directly to a barcode field 2. Set up print list using blocks page designer 3. Added barcode field to list to be printed by clicking to add. No change in dimensions of field thereby added 4. Printed and tried to scan printed barcode with iPhone in the relevant table and view 5. Fails as barcode will not scan Further test show barcode MUST be printed at 100% ( which it was) AND (this is much worse) stretched to a larger size in order to scan. Result is a barcode printed output twice the size as the original barcode used to input into Airtable

I’d like the ability to create and save multiple drafts within the SendGrid block. We use it to send a handful of basically “evergreen” transactional emails. At the moment, we create drafts in a shared Google doc that include {field data} to personalize the messages. This isn’t too cumbersome, but occasionally we make improvements to the draft within SendGrid after reviewing the Preview – in these cases, if we don’t then remember to update the draft in the Google doc atferwards, we lose all our work. And that’s a bummer. thank you
