We’re excited to announce that App Sandbox is now generally available in Airtable! App Sandbox is the best way to build, test, and deploy AI and other changes to your Airtable apps without disrupting your team’s workflows. With App Sandbox, you can:- Experiment with new automations, AI features, interface pages, and app logic in a dedicated sandbox environment.- Safely test changes with a copy of your real data, previewing exactly how they’ll work before rolling them out to your team.- Confidently deploy complex updates to your live base, knowing you’ve already validated everything in a safe space. Key benefits:- No accidental disruptions: Your team keeps working with live data in the main app while you iterate in the sandbox.- Faster innovation: Try out new ideas, integrations, and AI-powered workflows without risk.- Built-in filters: Only deploy what’s ready to go out- Seamless deployment: When you’re ready, publish some or all of your changes directly from the sandbox to production.

Welcome to Change Makers, our series highlighting customer stories and builders making an incredible impact with Airtable. Today’s Change Maker is a co-leader of the Airtable EDUser Group! Meet Blessing, Director of Data Operations and Administration at Teachers College, Columbia University 📖 If you weren’t in your current role, what would you be doing?I’d probably be living somewhere remote—not too remote, because I need WiFi and easy access to boba—but remote enough to be able to sit in front of a computer and write all day. Just cranking out pages upon pages of epic Elden Ring and Foundation-esque SFF novels and feature-length film scripts that feature rich, complex, galaxy-spanning worlds that feel uncanny—somehow both eerily familiar and bizarrely foreign.My dream? To write a Denis Villeneuve-directed, female-led, grounded sci-fi spy thriller that’s a gut-punch of emotions and smooth fight choreography—think The Bourne Identity meets Arrival.🦸🏻‍♀️ What’s your superpower at work

Welcome to Change Makers, our series highlighting customer stories and builders making an incredible impact with Airtable. Today’s Change Maker is a co-leader of the Airtable EDUser Group! Meet Paris, Assistant Director at Ascend WV 👀 What’s a fun fact most people (or your coworkers) don’t know about you?When I was a student at West Virginia University, I was the rock climber featured on top of Seneca Rocks for the school’s “Let’s Go” marketing campaign. If you look hard enough, you can still find TV ads and banners of me waving a WVU flag while perched on a precarious rocky ledge. Honestly, I probably spent more time doing things like performing, competing in Mountaineer Idol, playing in my band, than I did studying. Not sure if I majored in Marketing or in extracurriculars — but both have served me well so far!🤝 If you weren’t in your current role, what would you be doing?I’d be back in Southeast Asia, where I spent years working in the global humanitarian aid sector. There’s somet

Since the release of Airtable’s Omni and Field Agents, I have been uncovering even more use cases for AI, designing systems that not only work for everyone today but can also evolve and get smarter over time. 🌱 What’s a small change that’s had a big impact on your workflow?Building “decision-ready” views in Airtable. Instead of showing stakeholders everything, I curate it so the view answers one question or drives one decision. It saves hours of back-and-forth and basically removes the “I didn’t have the info”

I've been trying to mix in some decaf but it's tough. 🕹️ If you weren’t in your current role, what would you be doing?Making video games or music, or both. But I'd probably still be tracking it all in Airtable. 🧑🏻‍💻 What’s the most surprising use case you’ve seen (or built) in Airtable?Gotta go with the OG W Vann Hall's community post where he created conditional linked records... before they even existed in Airtable natively.

Welcome to Change Makers, our series highlighting customer stories and builders making an incredible impact with Airtable. Today’s Change Maker was one of the winners of our MVP AI Build Contest, showcasing innovative use of Airtable AI.  Meet Dominique, Data and Operations Director at HearstLab 🦸🏻‍♀️What’s your superpower at work?I’m surrounded by people who make it easy to do great work. I’ve had leadership that genuinely supports innovation, and I get to build for (and with) exceptionally brilliant people. I’ve also been lucky to work with companies I believe in, which is a huge motivator.Helping people do their best work feels meaningful and selfishly, building for great brains makes me better. It pushes me to think differently, stretch how I approach systems, and co-create tools I never would’ve reached alone. Especially now, as we bring AI into more of what we do, it’s an exciting time to be a builder and a translator.🗯️ What advice would you give to someone just getting start
