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? 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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.
