We do a lot of tagging others here at our company to comment on records. It would be nice to be able to have a super loud chime when someone tags you in a record. It’s hard to read 20-30 notifications and find the ones i’m tagged in rather than just “bill commented on…” when it doesn’t pertain to me anymore. I’m talking for the PC. I know that you can set it up for ios. Just maybe some better all around push notifications for PC?

What is the proposed idea/solution? I propose adding a reminder functionality into commenting that integrates with Airtable's Notifications function. Exact implementation could vary, but the ability to tag a user (or yourself) and select a length of time or an exact date when you'll receive an Airtable notification directing you back to the record. How does is solve the user problems? While date/time fields, calculations, and email automations can be utilized to create reminders for users in a record's data, that then becomes an integral part of a records data. Often I see a temporary change need to be enacted and returned to a month or two later, and being able to simply comment a reminder to re-visit the record would be invaluable. Instead of setting multiple fields and automations, integrating with the comments section provides a side space to set a "Hey! Come back to this!" reminder which fits the use cases of comments. Who is the target audience? All users, but particularly those managing ongoing data sets rather than discrete projects. In my particular case, we re-check our data records every 6 months, but occasionally there are scheduled changes (a location we document is closed until X date) which need to be expressed and then re-evaluated off schedule.

In order to enforce standardised user management and permission policies on admin panel or through Enterprise API it would be great to be able to disable invite/share notifications. E.g. when changing from workspace permissions to equal base permissions users are notified. This causes users to get huge amount of email notifications and some might flag those as spam.

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.

When assigning a collaborator to a User field, it would be nice if we could direct users to a specific URL via the notification they receive. Currently clicking the email link or the notification sends users to the expanded record in the view where the collaborator assignment happened, but this is less useful in various cases. For example, in a table I'm creating, I have the access to assign a collaborator to the "Assignee" field from multiple grid views and interface pages, but I'd like for anyone that receives the notification to be directed to a different interface page where that can see their assigned records.

What is the proposed idea/solution? It would be great to have the ability to set expirations dates on Automations. Past a designated date, the automation would turn "OFF", or become archived/deleted. How does is solve the user problems? If a user wants to setup an automation for, say, an attendance/signup email reminder to go out daily (to a list of emails records in a view that have not yet signed up for an event) until the day of the event. This would solve mismanagement of automations, as well as unnecessary/irrelevant messages being sent to anyone using messaging action integrations (email, outlook, slack, gmail, etc). How was this validated? Not sure what this prompt means(...?). I discovered the need for this feature as I came up with the need to "kill" an automated message prompt for users to sign up for an event—without having to "remember" to go turn it off. Who is the target audience? ...Anyone who needs to turn off an automation on a specific date, automatically.

Please extend the comments feature so that it is broader than the limited focus of per record comments. Enhanced Collaborative Communication: By allowing comments at different levels, team members can have more context-specific discussions. This feature would enable users to leave comments on a specific base, table, or view, fostering clearer, more organized communication. It would essentially turn Airtable into a more collaborative workspace, where team members can easily discuss broader strategies at the base level, specific data sets at the table level, and particular views or filters. Improved Workflow Management: This feature would be a game changer for project management. Teams could streamline their workflow by discussing and tracking changes directly within Airtable, reducing the need for external communication tools. This centralized communication would lead to fewer misunderstandings and a more cohesive workflow, especially in remote or hybrid work environments. User-Friendly Experience: Embedding comments at different levels would make Airtable more intuitive and user-friendly. Users could easily navigate to relevant discussions without having to sift through unrelated comments at the record level. This is particularly beneficial for new team members who need to quickly understand the context and history of a project. Comments at the view level strike me as being the most useful - views are where most work is taking place and being able to have focused discussions at that level next to the data would be incredibly useful.

I tend to review my customers Automation History in batches. Once I review the run history, fix any errors or bugs and apply any Automation and Script enhancements, I'd then like the ability to "clear" the history. Not necessarily delete the history, but just hide or archive the history. This is the history of just one Automation, but I manage dozens, and having an ability to hide previously executed runs would be very useful.

Is there a way to send an email with the forms answers to a specific email address when a form submission is made, just like Google Forms does?
