We have identified a critical need in the Airtable community for more flexibility when it comes to automation and instance limits. Many users, especially those on the Pro plan, are struggling with these limitations, resulting in bottlenecks and hampering their workflows. We propose an ad-hoc automation and instance limit enhancement to address these concerns. What is the proposed idea/solution? Our proposed idea is to introduce ad-hoc automation and instance limit enhancements for Pro users. This solution would allow users to purchase additional automations and instances as needed, without having to upgrade to the Enterprise plan. Users can maintain their current subscription level while still accessing the increased automation capacity they require for their workflows. How does it solve users' problems? By offering ad-hoc automation and instance limit enhancements, users can: Overcome the 50 automation limit that is currently causing bottlenecks in their workflows. Customize their automation capacity according to their specific needs, providing more flexibility and scalability. Avoid building their own software or switching to other platforms, as they can continue using Airtable with increased automation capabilities. Save costs by not having to upgrade to the Enterprise plan when they only require additional automations and instances. How was this validated? This need was validated through direct user feedback and community discussions, where many users have expressed their struggles with the current automation and instance limits. The demand for increased flexibility in automation capacity is evident, with users on the Pro plan actively seeking creative solutions to bypass these limitations. Who is the target audience? The target audience for this product enhancement includes: Pro users who have reached or are nearing their automation and instance limits and require additional capacity for their workflows. Businesses with unique automation requirements that might not necessarily require the full features of the Enterprise plan. Users who are considering building their own software or switching platforms due to the current automation limitations in Airtable. Conclusion: Introducing ad-hoc automation and instance limit enhancements for Pro users addresses a critical need in the Airtable community. This product idea not only provides increased flexibility and scalability for users but also ensures that they can continue using Airtable without the need to upgrade to a higher subscription tier or seek alternative solutions. ...

The issue We're working with list views that show a lot of numeric data for each record. When scrolling down, the header row moves up along with the records, so it immediately disappears from view and all numbers (which don't have any horizontal separator either) become a big blur of numbers.    What is the proposed idea/solution? It would be great if there would be options to: Enable a sticky header Show a subtle vertical line to separate columns Color or otherwise format columns   How does is solve the user problems? I believe any of the above options would greatly help in keeping (large) list views readable. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? It seems likely that this is already being developed, but I suggest adding a new feature to the Button interface element (see attached screenshot for expected location) that allows users to apply a record template to the current record. This enhancement would help streamline the process of creating sets of sub-tickets and eliminate the need for cumbersome automation currently in place. How does is solve the user problems? Allows for faster, easier deployment of records in an Interface. Simplifies base administration. How was this validated? ? Who is the target audience? People using Interfaces with a concept of 'sub-tickets' -- probably other use cases. ... View more

Right now, it looks the Gantt view only supports Finish-to-Start However, I'd like to be able to track Finish-to-Finish The "workaround" to do this would be to further split by deliverable's final step that is actually dependent on the dependency. However, this generates a lot more data and linkage that makes the everything orders more difficult to both manage and digest Start-to-Start is one I can find some use in, too, but Finish-to-Finish is very common Smartsheets is capable of this and summarizes everything well here: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/765727-enabling-dependencies-using-predecessors  ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? Price per user rather than per Workspace - Or allow better organization, folders, etc within a Workspace.  We pay more per user on a Pro plan than we do for our CRM.  Yet if we want to collaborate with external parties we need to move the base to a free workspace due to the sharing limitations.  We are a small company and purchased pro for everyone - yet it is becoming a mess.  We cannot even segment visibility of bases within the workspace from some users, since everyone needs to be a pro for that workspace.   Enterprise is outlandishly expensive for small organizations.  We are willing to pay for the service, but the limits even on a pro plan are limiting our use and commitment to the product.

What is the proposed idea/solution? For a selected set of records in a table, generate a report showing all the changes made to those records within a given timeframe, split by user, then split by field. How does is solve the user problems? This provides a way for any user to audit the set of changes made to those records in bulk. How was this validated? N/A Who is the target audience? Any user who is trying to audit changes made to records on a periodic basis. ... View more

Occasionally I find the need to be able to add a general comment to an entire table (not base, not record).  Would be great if you can add a function to the table drop-down, like 'add attachments'.  The attachment might be a PowerPoint presentation providing context for the table, and excel file explaining calculations, etc. ...

I have spent too many hours working around problems like: Converting comma-separated strings to unique elements in an array/set SORTING elements in arrays/sets properly Comparing to different arrays/sets in order to determine intersection/difference NONE of the built-in Airtable formulas support these use-cases right now.  Could we PLEASE get new Formula functions like: ARRAYINTERSECT(arr1, arr2, ...) - outputs the subset of values in each array that are uniquely present across all input arrays ARRAYDIFF(arr1, arr2) - outputs the subset of unique values that are in arr1 but NOT in arr2 ARRAYSORT(arr1, sort_type) - sorts the values in the array by specific sort type (e.g., alphanumeric ascending/descending, chronological ascending/descending, integer ascending/descending) ARRAYINSET(arr1, value) - returns TRUE() if value is present in arr1, FALSE() otherwise ...
