What is the proposed idea/solution? A built in extension that provides the ability to bulk download attachments. Filtering which records include and also renaming files based on any column of the table. How does is solve the user problems? Sometimes we need to export the contents of an attachment column. Doing this one by one it’s not efficient at all. Downloading data in csv it’s not enough. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? ...

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.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Enable integration with Sharepoint spaces and OneDrive folders/documents How does is solve the user problems? Some of us don't use Google docs/sheets/form/etc. but Microsoft Sharepoint and OneDrive docs and it's very hard to extract value from Airtable without those essential integration with our everyday workflows. How was this validated? I am project manager and program lead who designs Airtable for wider org to adopt. Who is the target audience? All Sharepoint or MS Office users (all of Walmart employees to start with!)

It would be great if there was an option to allow for CSV imports within interfaces. 2 potential use cases are: The ability to upload CSV's in a list view that adds new records to the list The ability to upload CSV's in a Record Detail View that would automatically add child records to a list/linked record field I'm sure there are plenty more scenarios but these are the 2 I'm currently facing.

If you do a lot of importing/exporting of CSV or Excel data with Airtable, you know that invisible leading or trailing whitespace can wreak havoc on your work, especially when you try to use text data from outside Airtable to match existing single-/multi-select fields or link fields. I’ve spent many hours tracking down these kinds of errors with imported data. While you can use TRIM formulas and the like outside of Airtable to clean the data beforehand, that’s not always convenient if you don’t control the source of the data (or that data changes frequently). What about an option on single line text fields in Airtable to automatically trim leading/trailing whitespace characters once the user is done editing the field? Seems like it would save a lot of headaches and would be easy to implement.

Would be a great feature to auto populate certain graphical information like logo’s and head shots alla FullContact. Example paste email in email field for a contact and then have it auto populate linkedin URL and photo from Linked in the the same contact. Full contact doesn’t do this for Logo’s only head shots. But I think pulling logo’s from a companies linked in page would also be interesting.

It seems that there is no way to get photos attached to records to export. I use a lot of photos - images are a key reason that I turned to AirTable. But it is frustrating that I can’t back the photo aspects of my work to my hard drive. Photo exports could also help AirTable work better in a contact database capacity.

Hello! I have searched… but I have not found an option to print/export pdf one by one, with a dynamic pdf name. It’s possible with zappier + pdf filer, but I wanted to stay on Airtable for the whole process 🙂
My issue: I made a page layout with dynamic fields, and when I print them, I have only one big pdf called “BDDname_ BDDtable - Airtable.pdf”. Is it possible in the future to export record one by one in pdf, with a dynamic name for the pdf, for exemple : FirstName-LastName.pdf for each one.
Thanks! Eric

This isn’t super high priority, because I know that we can accomplish this using Airtable’s API or the scripting block or great tools like this one, but it would be super cool if we could do this upon importing a CSV file into Airtable: If a CSV file has a column of URL’s that each represent a publicly-accessible image somewhere, it would be cool to be able to directly import that CSV file into Airtable, and be able to map that column of URL’s directly into an Attachment field. Then, upon importing the URL’s, Airtable could download the images at those URL’s into the Attachment field. Alternatively, it would be equally cool if we could import the URL’s on the CSV file into a URL field in Airtable, and then upon converting the URL field to an Attachment field, Airtable would download the images at those URL’s.

When doing a new CSV import, you can add records, modify existing ones, but you can’t delete records from your old table that aren’t in the new dataset. It would be good to have this as an option, or at least highlight the records that are from a previous import which weren’t present in a new csv import.
