In the "New " Interface layout, it would be great to "Add elements" like you are able to in the "older" interface layout. It is very helpful when needed to add a list or grid from a different table. It also helps with tasks list or being able to see all the linked records.  ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Provide an option to opt out of the new user onboarding flow. Stop forcing the flow to pop up every time we navigate to a new page. How does is solve the user problems? It prevents users (like me) being extremely irritated when trying to just get on with doing what I need to do. I've used Airtable before, like many others.  How was this validated? I personally have designed and implemented similar new user onboarding flows. It's also just a poor UX, because it doesn't provide users with the agency to navigate and use the product according to their needs - it forces users to complete flows according to Airtable's unvalidated needs. In fact, how did Airtable validate the need to persist the flow, rather than providing an opt-out? Who is the target audience? Every single new user. ... View more

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. ...

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? With the recent updates to the Airtable API being more featureful with Record Comments - it makes sense to also give some love to no-code Automation Actions, allowing an Automation to post to the Record Comments, either as an Automation or upon behalf of a specified user. How does is solve the user problems? Currently, for example, an Automation can use conditional logic to email an Airtable operator of an issue with a record. It would be useful if we had other options too, such as the Automation posting to the records comment detailing the problem with that record. Who is the target audience? Any firm using Record Comments will find a benefit from an Automation no-code Action that can also write to a records comments. ... View more

I understand from this post that I can hover over the header of revisions (but not comments, it seems) to see the exact date it was posted. However it would be much more useful to be able to see the specific dates and times at a glance, for both revisions and comments. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? The "Editable" and "View only" button on Interface is very handy when limiting actions on an Interface; however, it would be much more convenient and better security/workflow-wise to limit specific fields/columns (especially on List and Grid) as "View only" or "Editable" directly rather than having all fields editable because it can be accidentally edited. How does this solve the user problems? Lesser human error when accidentally editing stuff on incorrect fields. Who is the target audience? Interface users. ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? The ability to add tool tips to the top of List, Grid, etc Interface pages and/or to tabs on the Interface page. This is a very easy addition from a development perspective I would assume but would certainly help livability for users. How does is solve the user problems? This would allow Creators & Editors to provide additional context to the users about how the data is being filtered, colored, etc. This is a very easy addition from a development perspective I would assume but would certainly help livability for users. ...

What is the proposed idea/solution? A text search bar that filters the list of automations in any given base. Search by automation name, name of modules within automations and automation descriptions. How does is solve the user problems? Allows for faster searching of automations when a base has a large number of them. How was this validated? ... Who is the target audience?   ... View more
