I would love to see a detailed change log by Airtable where everything that is added or changed gets documented. Everything. Things get changed, added and improved constantly. Often small and helpful things (that I need) which go unnoticed for quite some time because they are not communicated. I would consult such a change log page every morning before I start my work to see what exactly is new. It could be an improved version of the existing "What's new" page but with every detail, not only three changes per month often published way after the fact. That page is already fed by an Airtable app. So it would be extremely low effort to plug every development team into that tool to communicate changes as soon as they are rolled out. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? It would be great to have more options for notifications instead of just Email and Mobile on/off. Right now, we have to turn on the ability to be notified for all comments instead of just mentions for EACH record. It would be nice to have the option to turn all comment notifications on for ALL records!! How does is solve the user problems? It would help users not have to remember to turn it on, allowing them to not miss any important comments. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? ...Create a way to watch comments for multiple items / all items by selecting a box, and watch comments for all.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Provide an option to opt out of the new user onboarding flow. Stop forcing the flow to pop up every time we navigate to a new page. How does is solve the user problems? It prevents users (like me) being extremely irritated when trying to just get on with doing what I need to do. I've used Airtable before, like many others.  How was this validated? I personally have designed and implemented similar new user onboarding flows. It's also just a poor UX, because it doesn't provide users with the agency to navigate and use the product according to their needs - it forces users to complete flows according to Airtable's unvalidated needs. In fact, how did Airtable validate the need to persist the flow, rather than providing an opt-out? Who is the target audience? Every single new user. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Summary count of record comments should appear on record lines in a grid in an interface (just like it does when viewing a grid in the base).  How does this solve the user problem? When viewing a grid on an interface, you will know which records have comments. How was this validated? See screenshot.  Who is the target audience? All interface users ... View more

Current problem: When submitting a new record, the Microsoft Teams automation generates a message to a specified channel, but there is no ability to include "@ general" to notify the team assigned to the channel. Proposed solution: I would like the ability to include an @ mention in the automated Microsoft Teams channel message when a record is submitted. I would also like the ability to generate a direct message to a user rather than a post to a channel. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? To be able to turn off notifications for all records within a database besides when you are @ mentioned How does is solve the user problems? As an administrator I create 100's of records and and constantly bombarded with emails everytime there is a comment or change. How was this validated? This would make the program more user friendly as previous systems we have used such as Monday.com have this feature Who is the target audience? Everyone ... View more

What I would personally like is the ability to add a comment to any given field for any given record (akin to the cell-level comments that appear as red triangles in the corner of cells in Excel). There are times when I want to add additional or qualifying comments/notes at a field-level in records without cluttering up the view. Excel examples: Add comment Comment indicator On-hover Edit comment I merely want what could be considered a comment mode/layer that could be applied to any given cell in any given field in any given table. Excel, Google Sheets, and many other spreadsheet-based applications provide this functionality. The purpose is to be able to collaborate or add additional notes or comments in context without affecting the data in the cells themselves. This essentially requesting the same functionality that is currently available for adding field descriptions to field headers, but also allowing this at an individual cell level. There are limitless use cases for this functionality: Carrying out a collaborative conversation Providing an editor’s note for a publicly shared table Adding a comment about an outlier result in a data table Adding notes about a set of images. Adding a disclaimer ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? As a user I want to be able to quickly share images, often screenshots, in the comments on a specific record. How does is solve the user problems? The user today needs to visit an external website to see the image I provide in an image link. Who is the target audience? Everyone who is collaborating in airtable ... View more
