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.

My issue is my Notification window shows notifications for issues and errors with automation across entire workspace. If there are multiple clones of the same base, it is impossible to tell which notification is for which base. I have to click on the notification and it takes me to the base. That’s OK if I have time to deal with all, but if all is want I want to focus on the issues for a specific base, I can’t tell which is which. Yes, sure, I can change the name of the automation but it won’t help once I copy clone the base, I will need to rename all the automations. It would be nice if there was name of the base under the date/time of the notification.

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!

Custom workspace announcements that can be pushed to all bases and/or visible at the workspace level. This would be handy in a distributed team / enterprise environment where each team operates in their own base within a single workspace. Implementation ideas: either in a form of a custom notification event, a popup banner inside the base or workspace, or an Airtable made announcements app (we have third party apps disabled in our environment for security reasons).

We have multiple editors who help build bases for clients, and it would be extremely useful to have the option to receive notifications (via email, Slack, etc.) whenever someone makes a structural change to a base, e.g. adds/renames/deletes a tab, adds/renames/deletes a field, modifies a single-select field value list, creates or changes a shared view, etc. It would also be very useful in the common scenario where we build a base for a client and they have one user who is an editor; very often, they end up making changes (sometimes intentionally and sometimes not) that impact the structure of the base that we don’t know about. Not being able to keep track of editor-level changes makes keeping the bases stable and well-documented extremely difficult!

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.

On the topic of Automation Run errors, the automatic emails Airtable sends are far too cryptic. When you actually click from the email back into the product, you don’t take me to the exact execution that caused an error (instead, I’m left to “doom scroll forever” to find it). So… crazy idea here… what if the Error emails Airtable sends ACTUALLY INCLUDES more details about the error that was encountered? Like maybe a copy of the execution log? Or something like that? Please? (I really don’t want to waste my time dealing with bad UX while trying to fix automation issues.)

Is there anyway we can get notifications to be more customized. For example, i want notifications for when I am tagged in a comment but I do not want them when there is just a general note. Currently the only way to do this is if we mark each data entry as “not watching”. While this is possible it is meticulous and repetitive Thanks Ron

It would be great to have an option to view comments you’ve made so you can easily track what comments you are waiting for a response on. It would also be great to have the option to flag or save important comments for later. This would be particularly helpful for my team as we have naturally moved away from email and towards using Airtable commenting features.

I added a collaborator field to my table so I could assign records to collaborators. But I then backfilled the field, only to discover that each individual record sent out a notification. Is there a way to have the records summarized in a digest, instead of sent individually?
