We have recently migrated our client database from Trello to Airtable in order to keep track of their details and new business opportunities. One helpful integration that we frequently utilised in Trello was sending all comments to Slack so that our entire team was notified. We were wondering if there is any possible way to currently implement this into our Airtable setup? What we are requesting is the ability to send the comments of a record through to Slack via an integration. Currently we are overwriting a comment field in each record to that it is sent to Slack before adding it into the comments section as well. If this feature is currently unavailable, could we request that this be a new feature to be added to Airtable soon? ... View more

I have a project management base that our team is building out at the moment and while it is going to be amazing, there are certain aspects of it that are starting to be overwhelming, such as the very long list of views in each table. I think it would be amazing (and I imagine, relatively easy) to have folders to clean up and organize views. This would be ideal for when team members have created their own views of the data or to organize project type. Thanks for your consideration! ... View more

Giving dedicated real estate to notifications would send a clear signal that the platform is intended for collaboration. Each individual record has an ‘Activity’ sidebar which allows for viewing not only record history but also comments. Notifications are capturing the same thing, but are hidden in a drop-down. This makes them difficult to see do to the limited amount of items displayed and the badge count disappearing once the drop-down is clicked rather than when the notification is read. What I request is embedding a base-wide (or potentially table limited) activity view similar to that on each record summary. This would allow for glancing at table and base changes more easily and could also be a place for table/base related comments that don’t apply to specific records. ... View more

While Airtable is basically like a Swiss Army Knife that allows users to create almost anything they like, this does cause some issues for folks who would like to use Airtable to replace CRMs and Task Management software. For example, there are not Task or Location/Address field types, as these would essentially need to be “grouped fields” that have more than one value (a task field would need a Task Name, Assignees, Due Date, dependencies, perhaps a priority, etc.). While one could build a separate linked table called Tasks with all this information, Locations are more difficult to handle (e.g., many duplicate city names, no conditional selection logic). So, the ability to create something aking to a grouped/super field that could be customized to house multiple sub-values within the same object could be very useful. Just spitballing here, but here’s a few examples off the top of my head: Name/Contact (First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, Full Name, Title) Location (Address 1, Address 2, City, State, Country, precise GPS location) Task (Task Name, Due Date, Assignee, Dependencies) ...

Recently I started my project to pull all my notes together from various areas of life. Since it is a bunch of text I used a lot of text formatting. When pulling the data together I loose all that so it would be a great feature to add the option to keep the rich text formatting when using formulas and rollups. ... View more

I have an auto updating field “Last modified time” that watches another field, and updates when that field changes. However, I just changed that field type from “Single line of text” to “Long Text” + Rich Text Formatting, and now the auto-updating field shows that every field has now been updated. This somewhat ruins the integrity of the metadata on the actual field content. I am requesting an option on the Auto-Updating field types to “Ignore Field Type Changes” so that such changes to format/style but not the actual content, are not tracked as changes. The particular use case of Single Line Text → Multi-Line Text seems especially important, but I’m sure other use cases apply. Thanks! ... View more

Another user asked for this same feature, but I would like to second the ask. Please add a capability to adjust the quarters on the Year display in the Gantt chart to accommodate for fiscal year/fiscal quarter. It will be very confusing for our roadmaps to show October - December as Q4 when for us it is FY22 Q1. Thank you ... View more

I was replying to a question in the Community forum and used the Zapier integration as a way to do this but I think this could be something built into Airtable as it’s effectively an AirTable to Airtable integration. So by having a new record added to one (or more bases) would automatically create a new entry into another table (perhaps in another base) with some prep-populated fields. ... View more

Hi - I’d like to be able to create a calculated multi-line field. My use case is turning 4 separate (Non-US) address fields into an address block for export. I’d like users to be able to copy and paste a multi-line address block for one-off letters etc (ie without export and merge). I have created a calculated field with the formula: ((IF({Address 1} = “”, “”,{Address 1} & ", ") & IF({Address 2} = “”, “”,{Address 2} & ", ")) & IF({Address 3} = “”, “”,{Address 3} & ", ")) & Postcode …but I’d like to be able to replace the comma and space with a New Line or New Paragraph mark. Any suggestions gratefully received. ... View more
