What is the proposed idea/solution? Automation monitoring dashboard. It would be wonderful to have a way to see all automations currently in progress (sometimes they can get backed up and you need to click through each one to see if there are any that are jammed up / in-progress), as well as list things like the average speed of each automation, automation runs that have failed, etc, and centrally manage logs and alerts related to automations. How does is solve the user problems? Right now this data is scattered, and it is incredibly cumbersome to manage bases that have more than a few automations. Additionally, error messages are only sent to the last user to edit an automation, making troubleshooting a difficult and opaque process. Who is the target audience? Primarily, Airtable enterprise customers or others who rely extensively on Airtable automations to support powerful workflows. ... View more

Hi Airtable Community, I hope this message finds you well. I have a suggestion for enhancing the user experience when dealing with automation errors. Idea: More User-Friendly Way to Display Automation Errors Overview: Currently, when an automation fails, the error is logged in the automation’s history, which is helpful for administrators and developers. However, for end-users who trigger these automations by inserting data, the error feedback is not as immediate or intuitive. Suggestion: I propose implementing a feature where automation errors can be displayed directly to the user who triggered the automation. This could be in the form of a bubble or pop-up notification. The notification would briefly explain the error and potentially offer guidance on how to resolve it. This immediate feedback would greatly enhance the user experience and streamline the troubleshooting process. Benefits: Immediate Feedback: Users get instant notifications of issues, reducing confusion and preventing repeated errors. Improved User Experience: Users can understand and address errors without needing to dive into the automation logs. Efficiency: Reduces the time spent by administrators and support teams on troubleshooting and resolving issues. Example Scenario: Imagine a user enters data into a form that triggers an automation to update records in another table. If the automation encounters an error (e.g., due to a missing required field or a data type mismatch), the user would see a bubble notification like, "Error: Missing required field 'Email'. Please fill it out and try again." I believe this feature would make Airtable even more user-friendly and efficient for everyone. Thank you for considering this suggestion. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback. Best regards, Nemanja Vukmirovic ... View more

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.   ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? ... The new Rescheduling Logic is a great, and very welcomed addition. To further improve it's use, it would be very helpful to have a 'Hybrid" that would operate as it does with Flexible Logic when you have overlaps, but if a Overlap would not be created, operate as it does with the Fixed Logic.  In additional, the Ability to "Pin" a record to a date that is immoveable would be very handy. How does is solve the user problems? ... Currently, the scheduling is inefficient when Using Flexible if a predecessor finishes early, all of my successors do not adjust to show that they can start earlier - it leaves large gaps.  If I use Fixed Logic, and a Middle of the chain task needs to move Later, it will adjust the predecessor, because of the buffer setting.   How was this validated? ... I can show you.  It's a simple base setup. Who is the target audience? ...Project manager and Producers ... View more

It appears that interface dashboard charts now allow you to put additional y-axis data (side by side bar charts), however, if you add a second data, the ability to 'show record count on charts' goes away as an option.  I would like to keep this option even when using the multiple data on y-axis.   It would also be great to have record counts for 'breakdown' data.  See attached for example.  ...

I understand from this post that I can hover over the header of revisions (but not comments, it seems) to see the exact date it was posted. However it would be much more useful to be able to see the specific dates and times at a glance, for both revisions and comments. ... View more

Hi there! Am I right in thinking that the "last changed" field type shows the timestamp when all or specific fields were last changed and if a change operation on such a field is UNDONE (by pressing Ctrl+Z) this will not get reflected. I find this unfortunate as it introduces wrong information, because like that, the time of last change provided by the last changed field will be wrong... ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? A text search bar that filters the list of automations in any given base. Search by automation name, name of modules within automations and automation descriptions. How does is solve the user problems? Allows for faster searching of automations when a base has a large number of them. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience?   ... View more
