Beyond my proposal here: Automatic Follower-Count for Instagram, Twitter and Facebook Links I think there’s HUGE potential for “Live” Fields, enabled via corporate partnerships. Imagine a Tracking Number field that live-updates via native sync with FedEx, UPS, DHL, USPS, etc. Or a Stock Price/BI field that’s synced to Bloomberg, NASDAQ, etc. Or a partnership with Salesforce… Google Analytics… Etc. ...

Just a quick suggestion: I use webhooks in my buttons to start and top timers in my timesheet tracking service: however, I would really like to be able to click on a webhook without having to immediately close the tab. I could set-up a macro to close a tab automatically after a time interval, but I thought I would pop in here and suggest that we have that added layer of control in terms of what pops up as we click a button. In another use case, sometimes I want to run a script to perform background tasks, and I don’t need to see the console. I would love the script to be able to run in the background without necessarily loading the dashboard - and I realize there is probably a limitation here, regarding only being able to use a block if it’s fully loaded on the screen. In any event, these are my two cents! I am really enjoying the Button field, it really helps Airtable perform more like an application than a spreadsheet - there have been so many great updates recently, I’m excited to see how Airtable will evolve over the years. ...

I’ve seen requests to have specify a color for linked records, but I’d like to request a feature where the linked item actually gets its color from the linked table. Example: I have tasks with a “completed” field in one table. I created a nice color coding in that table to see at a glance, what’s in progress or done. I then link to these tasks from another table. But there, I only see a long list of grey boxes that don’t give me any information other than their name. To see which of these linked tasks are actually finished, I need to click every one of them and open the detail window. Imagine I could specify that the boxes should inherit the color from a view of that linked table. In the column config dialog, I pick the view the color should come from and voila. At a glance, I see what tasks are done, in progress, not started, without changing tables or clicking into every one. ... View more

I would like to have the ability to set a default font for the Page Designer block in our Airtable settings or in the table settings somewhere so we don’t have to change it from Roboto every time 🙂 ... View more

It would be great if there were a way for a formula to differentiate between blank and 0 in a number field. Currently, cellname = "" and cellname = 0 both return true, whether the value is "" or 0 . I understand why this would be the default. It’s like truthy operators in JS ( false == 0 ). But it would be useful if there were an option to circumvent that default behavior, and do a more strict comparison in a particular formula. Potentially cell = BLANK() would return true for a blank value, but not for a zero value. Currently, equality comparison with BLANK() also returns true for 0 . Alternatively, it could be done with a new function - something like STRICTEQUALS(a, b) . ... View more

When viewing Airtable case studies at Airtable Universe (Airtable Universe), I was struck by the sidebar featuring a list of custom views, and how useful it a feature it would be in the main Airtable app – it provides a helpful list of views at a glance, and switching between views is a single click, versus the two it takes now with the dropdown. ...

It would be really helpful for me to be able to ‘Copy Filters as Formula’. Often I switch from using View Filters to an IF(AND()) type formula when filters get more complicated, or I want to re-use the logic across multiple tables with lookups. In these scenarios, I end up having to reverse-engineer the filters myself which is time consuming, prone to error and hard to test! It would be great it Airtable would supply the formula - it would also help new users understand how the connection between the two. ... View more
