Google Sheets has a formula called Hyperlink. HYPERLINK(url, [link_label]) Example HYPERLINK(“http://www.google.com/”, “Google”) Where url is The full URL of the link location enclosed in quotation marks, or a reference to a cell containing such a URL. and link_label - [optional] is the text to display in the cell as the link, enclosed in quotation marks, or a reference to a cell containing such a label. It would be helpful if airtable could do this too. My use case: Zapier finds new google docs in a special folder and adds records to an airtable which includes TITLE and URL. I have a view of that table that is embedded on my internal google site so that all new content in that folder (medical protocols) are available to my staff. It would be quite nice to have one field (a clickable link) rather than two - the title and an ugly url. Please like this post to help it raise to the top! ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? There is currently no way to add an action after a repeat group in an automation, if i'm correct. This would however be very helpful. How does is solve the user problems? Currently i need to put in place workarounds to launch a step 2 automation after the step 1 has been completed, using delayed automations based on now() function etc. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? does anyone know if this was already submitted ? and how to check the community interest in it ? Thanks ... View more

I know this has been posted many times before, but we need a real solution to allow for grouping by multi-select fields in a way that makes all records associated with at least that value shown in the value grouping.  Yes, this might result in one record appearing multiple times in a grid view. Yes, that is desirable.  Notion users know that this is much more intuitive and user-friendly than the way Airtable handles this behavior.  --- Here's a real example for us: We do project planning in Airtable across quarters. Projects may span multiple quarters (multi-select field). There is no way to view all projects grouped by quarter where all Q1 projects are collected in a single group!  As a designer, it boggles my mind that it behaves this way...   ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? ...Create a way to watch comments for multiple items / all items by selecting a box, and watch comments for all.

I've been organizing my lessons on airtable. Multiple picture attachments and comments for explanation. I just realized that there's no way to search for a particular comment. I'm lost here after a couple of months into the project. Idea: Search should include comments Critical to collaboration & finding the right attachment.   ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? On Interfaces, I would love for a user to be able to hover over an element and see the set of conditions/filters that are acting on the element.  How does is solve the user problems? I often create dashboards that summarize data for my colleagues. My colleagues are not comfortable going into edit mode to see how an element was configured. Nonetheless, they may be interested in understanding what data a number element, for example, is drawing from. This would allow them to learn that without having to enter edit mode.    How was this validated? Haven't validated it at scale, but I see this as a hurdle for my team regularly. The person who constructed the interface dashboard is the only one who really understands what the various elements mean Who is the target audience? Users of interfaces ... ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? When inputting a form on Airtable, allow for progress to be saved on that form so that various users can contribute to one same form. How does it solve the user problems? When having forms filled in that requires info from multiple parties, it means multiple forms do not have to be filled in. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience? Everyone ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Create an endpoint to list all automations created under a base. How does is solve the user problems? This would assist drastically with auditing what automations are enabled, where they are, and what they speak to externally (if scripts have been implemented to send data to external webhooks). Currently there is no way to get this information without going into each base individually and auditing each automation. How was this validated? No publicly-accessible endpoint exists to facilitate this functionality. Who is the target audience? Admins interested in keeping track of what exactly is happening in their environment. ...

Webhooks for records would be really useful. I’m heavily caching Airtable data on my own server via the API, and if Airtable could notify my server when a record is updated, created, or destroyed, that would help me invalidate the cached data and re-request it. Ultimately that would mean less calls from my server to the Airtable API, which I imagine would please Airtable. Are webhooks on the roadmap at all? ... View more
