It would be very helpful to have the ability to set up some kind of notification for changes to the base structure (adding/removing/renaming columns or tables). Not having this ability results in having to manually review our bases for changes when something breaks. :grimacing: ... View more

I’d like to suggest adding a feature where we can quickly acknowledge comments or activity of other users in the “Activity” sections of projects. Generally this is something like a thumbs up button where somebody can click on it as a way of simply letting the person who made a comment or any kind of post in the activity center know that they have seen their submission without needing to take the time to type out a comment informing them they have seen it. Thanks! ... View more

19 July 2022 Please, I love Airtable but the simple notifications are not cutting it for a busy team. We need much more control: an integration of notifications for Comments and @mention, notification control in automations, notifications in Interfaces (we are stuck using Interfaces until this happens) have a goal of notifications serving teams IN AIRTABLE without sending email or Slack or whatever, simply being able to isolate records with outstanding notifications of any kind for the current user in a search would be bliss, and more. I’m sure you get it already but this is as important for team collaboration as being able to do the things Airtable does well: shape the data, make effective interfaces, etc, etc. ... View more

EDITED - What I really meant is the comments section on an individual record. I have found that the notes section works really well to keep tabs on what is going on with a task because it date stamps them, and I can quickly scroll back through if I get confused or need reminding on something, and sometimes I want to clue in other people about something, so I @ them, but then it automatically marks them as “watching” that record. And I don’t want them to get continuous notifications every time I make a note if it doesn’t relate to them. I could ask them to “unwatch” the record, but that just adds in another annoying step that I wish I could take care of my end as the main owner of the bases for my projects/team, and then I might want to direct another comment at them, in which case they would be marked as “watching” the record again. If they are getting continuous notifications that don’t relate to them, it will make it into a “boy who cried wolf” type of situation. They will be less likely to pass attention to them, and might miss a note that really is important for them to read and follow up on. ... View more

We have many views that records pass through as certain criteria is met. Eg. The “photo is ready for loading view”. Currently a user must open a view to see if there is a record (or more) in it that needs attention. Would be great if on a view we could switch on “notification” which would then show a red button on the view title in the left view menu with the number of records in the view showing inside the red the button. Just like messaging on your phone. Then at a glance we can see what needs to be done. ... View more

I would really love a feature to mass unfollow records. Some things I am automatically following from when I worked on them 2 iterations ago and I’m still receiving notifications about them. It’s just a burden to go through everything and unfollow it one by one. ... View more

It would be easier to sift through notifications if notifications were shown for the base you are in only. ... View more

It can be really difficult to troubleshoot broken formulas in Airtable, because the error message only tells us that something went wrong — but it doesn’t tell us WHERE something went wrong. In most other programming languages, the error handling will either: Highlight the part of the formula that is broken. Or tell the user the exact line number & character number of where the formula is broken. Either one of these scenarios would be fine! 🙂 This product suggestion was inspired by this thread: Help with basic IF statement Formulas No, this is not true. For example: IF( 3 > 0, "yes", "no" ) will evaluate just fine. But IF ( 3 > 0, "yes", "no" ) will result in an error. I have never before worked with a single programming language that would get hung up on that extra space there! However, this is where things gets really strange. Because Airtable got hung up on that extra space up above, you would think that it would get hung up on an extra carriage return — but it doesn’t. For example, this function evaluates ju… ...

Giving dedicated real estate to notifications would send a clear signal that the platform is intended for collaboration. Each individual record has an ‘Activity’ sidebar which allows for viewing not only record history but also comments. Notifications are capturing the same thing, but are hidden in a drop-down. This makes them difficult to see do to the limited amount of items displayed and the badge count disappearing once the drop-down is clicked rather than when the notification is read. What I request is embedding a base-wide (or potentially table limited) activity view similar to that on each record summary. This would allow for glancing at table and base changes more easily and could also be a place for table/base related comments that don’t apply to specific records. ... View more
