Expiration Dates for Automations

Nathan_Heironim · ‎Jan 05, 2024

What is the proposed idea/solution? It would be great to have the ability to set expirations dates on Automations. Past a designated date, the automation would turn "OFF", or become archived/deleted. How does is solve the user problems? If a user wants to setup an automation for, say, an attendance/signup email reminder to go out daily (to a list of emails records in a view that have not yet signed up for an event) until the day of the event. This would solve mismanagement of automations, as well as unnecessary/irrelevant messages being sent to anyone using messaging action integrations (email, outlook, slack, gmail, etc). How was this validated? Not sure what this prompt means(...?). I discovered the need for this feature as I came up with the need to "kill" an automated message prompt for users to sign up for an event—without having to "remember" to go turn it off. Who is the target audience? ...Anyone who needs to turn off an automation on a specific date, automatically.

We use Confluence regularly and can embed AT views into our pages. However, we would like to do the same with our interfaces as it makes digesting content easier. Do you think this can be a feature in 2024?

I manage one base with two interfaces for my company. One is the Team interface everyone has access to and the other is a Management interface where only management has access to. The Team interface undergoes the most evolution and it's nearly impossible for me to keep open record panels consistent across both interfaces. Frankly, I find it ridiculous you can't copy open record panels from another interface that shares the same base but that's another point entirely. Ideally, I would like consolidate both interfaces into the Team interface and the Management pages have a password protection feature that prompts you to fill in a password (one singular password specified in the interface editor - no need for separate user passwords) before permitting access to the page. The current system makes it difficult to scale and retain consistency across multiple interfaces and I feel like this would be a simple solution with a big impact on permissions.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Currently when you send an email from Airtable, it automatically defaults it "Airtable Automations" as the sender. It would be great for this to be customizable. How does is solve the user problems? Clients likely will not recognize an email from my business if it is under Airtable's name How was this validated? I noticed during testing all the emails I was getting were from "Airtable Automations". Connected with chat support and it simply said "changing it is not available at this time" Who is the target audience? General

What is the proposed idea/solution? I want to be able to add a color based on a formula. For example I have a bunch of subtasks under a parent task. I want to color the records where due date is greater than the parent task end date because this is a task I need to be flagged since the whole task should be done before it is currently planned. Ideally the formula would be, IF({parent task end date} - {due date} < 0) and then I can set the color to yellow.

What is the proposed idea/solution? The add the ability to group pages on the left nav panel without needing to stick them into different interfaces. How does is solve the user problems? Once an interface has beyond 8 pages, it is too large on the left nav bar and pages need to be grouped. Grouping pages allows users to create a much better an organized user experience. Note that this grouping is currently possible by putting pages into separate interfaces, however this causes other problems since record details pages cannot be shared between interfaces (and cannot be deleted), making it extremely difficult to manage syncing record details pages between interfaces. Who is the target audience? Interface users.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Allow the same "record detail page" to be used across multiple interfaces How does is solve the user problems? Currently a designed "record detail page" is restricted to ONE interface. However, since we can incorporate multiple interfaces across one app (via the left nav bar navigation in interfaces), it is common to need to access the same record from a different interface. Currently you have to rebuild the the record detail page for every interface that it's data is used in. (We currently have 4 interfaces, so we have to duplicate 4 times). Not only that, every time we make a change we have to change it in 4 places. ALTERNATE SOLUTION The add the ability to group pages on the left nav panel without needing to stick them into different interfaces. How was this validated? At my company we've probably wasted 200 hours trying to keep our record details pages in sync, Who is the target audience? Interface app builders

What is the proposed idea/solution? Enable integration with Sharepoint spaces and OneDrive folders/documents How does is solve the user problems? Some of us don't use Google docs/sheets/form/etc. but Microsoft Sharepoint and OneDrive docs and it's very hard to extract value from Airtable without those essential integration with our everyday workflows. How was this validated? I am project manager and program lead who designs Airtable for wider org to adopt. Who is the target audience? All Sharepoint or MS Office users (all of Walmart employees to start with!)

What is the proposed idea/solution? Allow us to select a timezone for datetime fields that only show a date. How does this solve the user problems? There is currenly a disconnect between Interface date filters (ie. filter Where {Date Field} is Today) which will filter based on a local timezone, but inside the base, the date-only field is GMT. So, the interface will filter based on local timezone, but records in the base will be GMT-based dates, and will be filtered out, even if the date is the same as the local timezone. How was this validated? By beating my head into the brick-wall that is Date-based filters Who is the target audience? Anyone who uses the filter based on 'Today'.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Permit an integration with Google Drive for Cloud Storage or any other platform as such for attachments because when there are attachments included within in a Form, the database cannot handle the capacity which airtable provides. How does is solve the user problems? The user can now view critical documents through Google Drive from the airtable once the user clicks on any cell which has an attachment, or you could use an API to Pull that data and show it in some interface within airtable itself to make it easier for the user to visualise, but the data is stored in GDrive. How was this validated? After I tried showcasing Airtable to the Senior Management who had already invested in Microsoft Suite, they found it ridiculously expensive for only having 1GB of cloud storage for attachments when you could simply connect to your Google Drive or Dropbox and avail extra storage which is not an available feature. Who is the target audience? Anyone who requires additional storage for attachments.
