We really need a Zapier trigger for when an Airtable record is UPDATED. Currently, the only option that Airtable has given us in Zapier is a trigger called “New Record In View”. However, “New Record In View” IS NOT A SOLUTION. The problem with the “New Record In View” option is that it only triggers the very first time a record appears in a view . If the record falls off the view, and then comes back onto the view later, the trigger is never triggered again. Therefore, the “New Record in View” option is not really usable for the vast majority of use cases. What we really need is an “Updated Record” trigger in Zapier. This is one of our Top 10 Feature Requests for Airtable. Luckily, in the meantime, we’ve got OpenSide’s On2Air Actions to help us with this. It costs $50 per month (or $500 per year) to use On2Air Actions, but for businesses that can afford it & can truly benefit from it, the cost is well worth it. I’ve never used Integromat’s Airtable integrations, but it looks like they do a similar thing to On2Air Actions — where they will scan records for updates and then trigger some sort of an action based on an updated record. We absolutely love supporting these 3rd-party companies that have stepped up to the plate to deliver us wonderful solutions! However, it’s always easier & better for the platform when the 1st-party company (Airtable) natively integrates necessary functionality like this into their platform. Thanks!

For the rich text field, it would be nice to maintain its formatting when you export it as a CSV. On a similar note, if you integrate airtable with Zapier, it would be great if these rich text fields maintained their formatting when sent to another application, such as Google Docs.

I notice the way that Slack notifications are formatted changes, based on the order in which data is entered into Airtable. I’d like my slack notifications to have a consistent format.
Can you please implement two changes to the Slack notifications options:
Add an optional delay (say 15 minutes) - to ensure all data has been entered before the notification is fired
Allow the fields in the notification to be selected and ordered by the user

I had an idea for an airtable integration that I think would be super useful. I have an airtable with multiple different tables and for each of those I have a view that pulls up the specific records that require action from myself or other team members.
I’d love to see a dashboard with various metrics that are each red/yellow/green depending on whether they need attention or not.
[Was going to attach a screenshot of a concept but discourse won’t let me]
I know that Airtable has a block for metrics which is kind of okay but doesn’t quite work the way I need it to. The other thing that would be super useful is to be able to click on the metric and be taken directly into that view.
Thoughts?

Our tasks have end dates that help our team know when tasks are due. Is there a way to integrate the Chime block to notify a team member when a due date is approaching?
Also, is there a way to modify the notifications such as 7 days, 2 weeks, or 1 month?

I would like to request the use of additional barcode scanners, other than the one on our phones. I work in a school and this would be immensely helpful in integrating student ID barcodes into many things we are building in airtable right now. P.S. Airtable has been a game changer for us. Thank you!

Either via api for top email verification service providers like neverbounce, email listverify,zero bounce so that we can clean email addresses inside airtable only.

The problem with zapier is that it will always zap a record only once (even if it reappears in the same view). Therefore, updating an external record (say a job post) using zapier is currently not possible (without a complicated workaround*) because Airtable does not give you the option to feed zapier a modification time stamp instead of the record ID. Would it be possible to update your zapier integration so that by default zapier sorts the records by the record ID but that you’re able to choose another field to sort by instead (like a modification timestamp)? Many thanks, Gaudenz The workaround I am currently using is that after zapping a record, a new, identical record in Airtable is created (using zapier) and the old one marked for deletion. Thus with a new record ID, I am able to update it - but it’s cumbersome and does not work in all use cases.

This plugin works great, but why isn’t there a feature to randomize the content? I’ve created a base with thumbnail images, and using the plugin, the images populate the elements always in the same order. Randomizing seems like a very basic, but very helpful feature.

I love the Airtable <> Jotform integration, but would love it more if airtable’s linked fields could connect to jotform fields.
