We see Airtable horror stories like this one all the time: Restoring a Workspace Formulas Please help! I did the most idiotic thing you could imagine — I deleted my entire workspace! I have one base there that is my entire business. How can I retrieve it? I know that there are snapshots but how can I locate them when the workspace has been deleted? Please help… the tech support could take days to get back to me and I have clients to deal with. Please read that entire thread before responding here. Without reliable & consistent backups built into the Airtable platform that actually backup the entire database & entire workspace on a regularly consistent basis, Airtable really can’t be depended on for mission-critical business operations. Even the snapshot feature isn’t reliable, because it kicks in randomly whenever it chooses to do so. But if you accidentally delete an entire database or workspace, even the (unreliable) snapshot feature is no good. Please read that entire thread before responding here, because I go more into depth in that thread. In summary: Airtable really needs the ability to have full backups of full databases and full workspaces, and those backups need to be consistent, automatic, and reliable.

I’d like to see the history of logs to track possible errors. 🙂

Hi, I like to invite external collaborators on my bases sometimes however I could see complaints from my external collaborators on getting Airtable marketing emails. I hope this option can be added if it is not avaliable. I know they can unsubscribe from the marketing emails themselves, but I rather my collaborators do not even get Airtalbe marketing emails after they accept my invite in the 1st place as they are not that tech savvy

Follow the Slack model and only bill for users who are active. I had to downgrade my account because our number of users increased (and therefore our monthly bill increased), but most of them either only need access for a little while or they’re infrequent users. I’d upgrade my account and be a happier customer if you only charged for active users.

It would be great if we could have more control over collaborator permissions. For example, the big one for us is that we would like collaborators to EDIT records, but NOT DELETE any records.

Are there any plans get FedRAMP certification for Airtable? (There’s pretty much no chance of enterprise adoption in many government or government-contracting organizations without this.)

It would be great if we could query the list of collaborators and the bases for which they have access via the API or download it from the portal. The current UI makes it very tedious to audit the current user base. My current work around is to copy the payload of workspaceSettings.json which arrives when navigating to the airtable.com/wspXXXXXXXXX/workspace/billing. The key billableUserBreakdown appears to have all the data I need. Even just being able to download that file using my API key would be a huge benefit.

I am really afraid of someone deleting my base. It would be great if bases could be password protected or backed up somewhere else.

I searched through and couldn’t find anything since February. Can I see revision history for an entire base versus having to go into each record?

Short of more granular user permissions (by table, not by base), it would be VERY useful to be able to lock certain records… or even certain fields. We have many, VERY complicated records, that we’d like to use as templates. I want to prevent someone from trying to do their job and accidentally altering the master… They don’t even have to be permission locked…just a button you have to push to MAKE SURE you want to delete/alter it, before you do.
