What is the proposed idea/solution? Add more imported data from each email imported from Outlook via Automations. Specifically I'm missing "Conversation ID" that could be very useful to automatically group emails that are part of a longer conversation. If possible, also being able to get at least PDF attachments would be amazing. How does is solve the user problems? I have to rely on one or more services to get these features today (Power Automate (has more data from each email) to Google Sheets, then using automations to import from Google sheets. As you already have a Outlook integration, adding a few more data points should be easy. How was this validated? Other services provide much more data points for Outlook emails. Who is the target audience? People that use Outlook and Automations to import emails from their inbox to Airtable.

Far as I can tell, you can only link to specific files in Google Drive with the Attachment field type. While I could choose all the files individually, I would much rather just link to the directory because often times we share that directory with a client who will over time continue to add files to it during the lifetime of the project. So only attaching files would become outdated pretty quickly. Right now I’m just using the URL field type but it’s one more step for me to open drive in another tab and go find the directory and get the share URL. Just slows **bleep** down and isn’t very dynamic. I’ve seen this functionality in Samepage.io so I imagine it’s in the Google Drive API somewhere. Not to mention from within Gmail, you can attach a directory right there also to an email. Thanks

Ability to create instance a table of another base into Another base. That instance will just mirror the actual table form from other base. This will solve all the cross-base feature requests and issues 🙂

Just a Feature Request: I use synced tables a TON and I wish there was a readily available “Sync Now” Lightning bolt instead of having to click the drop-down on the Table tab. Or even a key command could be cool. Instead of ⌘+V to paste, it could be ⌘+S to sync. Something where I don’t have to constantly remember where the “Sync Now” button is located would be awesome for the bases that are synced.

What is the proposed idea/solution? I would like linked records to be synced between tables in both directions. For example, I have one base that contains campaigns and another one that contains products. Products are linked to campaigns in the products base and while I can also link them in the synced product table in the campaigns base, I cannot make edits in the campaigns base on them. How does is solve the user problems? Allow edits on linked records between two-way synced tables. How was this validated? It's a big use case within our company to facilitate collaboration and increase workspeed while maintaining proper rights distribution. Who is the target audience? Everyone working with synced tables.

What is the proposed idea/solution? ...For a Table with one or more Synced Tables, allow the User to Add Records. Options include Adding Records to the Current Table OR selecting a Synced Table to Add Records (must pick one table). How does is solve the user problems? ...In order to Add Records to one or more Synced Tables, the User must navigate away from the current Base to the Synced Table to add the Record, then navigate back to the Synced Table. This is information is hard to find in the User Interface since it is burred in the Table Drop Down > Update Sync Configuration Dialogue Box. Who is the target audience? ...All Users of Synced Tables that would like to add New Records.

What is the proposed idea/solution? ...Allow the User to "Add Records From" a Table within the current base. How does is solve the user problems? ...In order to bring together data from multiple Tables, they each need to exist in separate Base outside of the current Base. Without this feature, the User must create multiple Bases in order to combine multiple Tables into one Table. Who is the target audience? ...Every user who Syncs multiple Tables or wants to combine multiple Tables into one.

In the View pane, the little gear in the search bar (above) grants the option of filtering out everyone's personal views—is there a way an option can be added to show only views that are being synced and/or shared? And maybe even something that gives people the option to exclude synced views from the list. Or maybe include a little indicator (a little pink asterisk or icon to match the "Share and sync" menu in the topbar, perhaps) next to View names? We have a lot of views and having a way to quickly see the views from which data is flowing out would be helpful. Right now I believe this kind of functionality is only available in the Share menu, which to me doesn't feel as intuitive and hampers visibility.

I'm excited to use the external calendar feature (described here) to bring my Airtable data into my other scheduling tools. I understand that each record's primary field will be shown as the event titles, but for this to be really useful, I'd like to be able to specify additional fields to map to the other properties in the iCalendar VEVENT spec (here), such as the location and the description. It would be nice to use a different field for the event title as well, since the primary field is used so heavily elsewhere in Airtable. I realize I might be able to use an Automation to create and update the events in Google Calendar, but keeping everything in sync this way adds a lot of complexity and brittleness.
