It would be amazing if we had a “global values” block that could store global values for all of our users — which we could then utilize in our Airtable formulas. Please note that this “global values” block would be of absolutely no use to us if we couldn’t pull in the values from the block into our formulas in our base. Just seeing the values in the block serves no purpose to us. We need the ability to pull data from the block into the base. Thank you! ... View more

Loving the embed block! But I would love it more if I could customise the URL to be loaded based on a field in my table… My usecase - I’m building custom URLs from data collected in forms. The URLs include complex payload data. Want to be able to load those custom URLs dynamically into the embed block so my users can see the record and the embedded web page simultaneously. Seems that embed only supports static URLs for now? Any plans to allow dynamic population of the embed URL from a field in a base? ... View more

It would be really great to be able to embed the views with the option to alter them. I know you could build your whole custom front-end through the API with all the functionality you can think of, but the basic layout of the embedded iframe views are already so functional that it can quickly be overkill to entirely build your own front-end. I’m thinking of javascript plugin to embed your view with much more settings (than given with the iframe embed) and also events and callbacks so you can alter the embed through custom coded javascript, while starting off from the standard embedded front-end. Are there any plans in doing such a thing? Or am I missing something and is there already an other option besides embedding via iframe or using the API? ... View more

The DateTime column type is fantastic for calendar view, and calendar view is great for exporting to other calendars. One main feature in most calendars on, for example, the iCal format, is the ability to create events that don’t have a specific time. These are usually marked as “all day” events. Or they could be useful for things when you know what the date is, but you haven’t figured out the time yet. At the moment, the workaround appears to be let the field default to the time of midnight. It’s workable, but I’d love to see the datatype be able to handle something like “null” for time. ... View more

Even though it is such a small thing it is extremely annoying to work with. I would really appreciate it if it would be possible to have the option to start every calendar view on Monday. Ideally, it would be not only for the browser but also for the mobile and desktop app. (Changing the browser time zone does not work) ... View more

As we ramp up this product for our team, it’s becoming increasingly evident that a better messaging/commenting tool would make Airtable MUCH more useful. The current commenting system (which is oddly mashed together with the revision history) is too hard to get to… and sometimes a conversation isn’t specifically related to just one record. The ability to “send record” via email is just too cumbersome for repeated conversations with fellow collaborators, especially since the recipient has to be manually entered every single time. And though products like Slack can help, it’s just not as seamless as we’d like. I’d love it if there were just a Block or something that allowed collaborators to @mention each other AND tag/link specific tables, records, and fields. ... View more

It would usefull to get the list of views on a specific table. My client application would be much more dynamic if I had this feature in the APIs. Something like GET https://api.airtable.com/v0/BASEID/TABLEID/views Thanks a lot for this fantastic solution ! ... View more

First off, I really love Airtable and am rooting for this company to progress and be able to serve up a more finished product. But I am starting to get worried with the lack up updates and lack of progress on important feature requests we all want. Most of all, I am concerned with the lack of feedback from Airtable staff on what is happening. They used to comment in this forum all the time and provided great feedback. What happened? There are a lot of examples where tech companies, I’m calling you out Microsoft and Google, provide a great new product idea. But they end up leaving it 80% complete and eventually abandon the product altogether. I would love to use Airtable for literally everything, personal and professional, but I am reluctant to put more into Airtable until I see that Airtable is committed to providing a finished product and listening to user feedback. Specifically, what I am waiting for are the following: Better back up options that let us automatically back up to Dropbox. The ability to fine tune user controls. The ability to link to other bases. Until I get these things I will use other services like excel, smart sheets, and Trello. Please note Airtable, right now I am using the product for free and I see no reason to pay anything for it because your pricing tiers don’t offer me anything I am interested in. If you finished the above features I would gladly start paying for Airtable. ... View more
