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.

What is the proposed idea/solution? There are two actions: Create and Update. Add a third option: Delete. How does is solve the user problems? When my client enters a follow-up date and the event_id doesn't exist, an outlook calendar event is created. Changing the date, updates the calendar event. Now the kicker, surely clearing the date field should delete the calendar event. It's natural to remove calendar entries. I know Make.com has the module but that means having to open an account, building the scenario, etc, etc. How was this validated? It's not there 🙂 Who is the target audience? Anyone using the Outlook Calendar actions.

I think a key missing feature is the ability to embed items into an interface. I think this could take one of two (or both) forms. 1. A field that functions kind of like a "document" field. You insert an embed link. When viewed in a base, or in a grid/list view, it just shows as a preview - But when viewed in a record details pane - it translates to a custom sizable-embedded page. Each record's embedded view is based on the link in the field - just like the Button field type. 2. A "hard-coded" form - kind of like the difference between the "button field type" and the buttons you can set up in an interface. In the from-scratch interface builder - there would be a new element type called "Embed" where you could manual populate to with whatever embedded link needed. For example a google doc - or a news feed, etc. This by itself would accomplish half of the ideas that users have been putting forward for new automation triggers and integrations.

There greatly needs to be a filter in an interfaces Revision History. It should show as a pill next to the word Revision History, just like the filter pill shows on the new Record List interface. Or it could be next to the bell icon for changing the watching comments option. This way if you are viewing revision history you can narrow in on a specific field(s) to see only those revisions.

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 +++

What is the proposed idea/solution? True emailing and calling functionality. The ability to send and receive emails and make and receive calls within airtable and have them log to the record or even multiple records. Preferably the user would be able to choose from popular third party email and phone providers that would integrate in. How does is solve the user problems? To my mind, with this feature, airtable now becomes a real alternative to CRM systems, helpdesk/ticketing systems, etc. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? Really anyone using airtable. The most popular CRMs and other systems are starting to feel old and tired. People WANT to use airtable for more and more things, but until there are true communication features built in, it's hard to do so.

Currently the automation actions are quite limited, in most of my automations I have to resort to scripts. This poses some challenges: - often I have to use apikeys in the script to integrate with other services, these apikeys are now exposed to every user - If I want to re-use a script, it's now located in multiple automations and changing it / version control becomes cumbersome I would love to have the option as an owner to create custom script templates that the users (in my workspace) can use. See it as my custom automation action based on an automation script. This way I can hide the apikeys and easily re-use scripts across automations.

I am using Airtable and Softr to create a webpage for my nonprofit. One feature that is essential for this app is for the users to be able to edit and view data that is grouped by a particular value (an article's name, in my case). I find it very frustrating that Airtable only allows for views to be embedded, which do not allow inline editing, although they offer interface design which does allow for inline editing, but is not supported to embed. Having flipped through Airtable and Softr community platforms, there have been many requests dating back to over 3 years ago now, with no update. One use said "they don't seem to care". If that is the case, I need to find a new platform because this is an essential feature for the functionality of my page. @dashler78 Can you please provide the community with an expected timeline for this feature, or for an explanation of why it is not offered? Thank you.

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.)
