Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!   We're launching our first ever Question of the Week.

Look forward to reading through your responses.    Let us know, and have a great week! Airtable Community

Hi all - I hope the week is going well. I’m excited to be able to share the next wave of Interface Designer updates targeted at making interfaces even more powerful and easier to use. Button Element: Allows you to add a button - and configure some actions - in your interface. This will allow you to quickly approve/reject requests and gives flexibility to making status changes like assigned or complete. You’ll be able to configure buttons to update a field or multiple fields of a single record with a single click. You may also choose to move to the next record. You’ll be able to edit the color from 4 different options. Below are the color options and their labels. These labels are meant to be guiding principles of when to use these colors, not what they do. Blue = “Primary” Red = “Warning” Green = “Success” Gray = “Secondary” Calendar Element: offers the same functionality as the calendar view in an Interface. It includes the ability to customize the initial view that visitors

Hi everyone! I am excited to share with all of you that as of today conditional automations are now available in Airtable for all users. Conditional logic lets you trigger groups of automation actions only when certain conditions have been met, ensuring your automations are primed to do exactly what you want. Once you’ve set up conditional logic, Airtable will check the first conditional group you’ve set—if the conditions for a group have been met, the actions in that group will run. A few common questions: Do conditional actions count towards the total number of 25 actions allowed per automation?Yes, conditional actions do count toward the total number of actions allowed for each automation. Can I nest conditions in automations?We do not currently allow for nesting conditional ​​groups in automations at this time. Additional resources: Conditional groups of automations actions Automations overview :zap: New Airtable Feature: Conditional Actions Table Talk: Conditional automations

The Airtable Community Change Maker Spotlights are a new ongoing series where we will be highlighting inspirational creators across the Airtable Community. We are thrilled to highlight Kuovonne Vorderbruggen!   LM: How long have you been using Airtable? KV: I discovered Airtable about five years ago in 2018 as part of a search for a low cost, cloud-based, cross-platform database system for personal projects, and every year since then has been a new adventure. Initially I forced my Airtable builds on bewildered friends and family who didn’t understand why a database could be better than a spreadsheet, but in 2019 I found that people would pay me to create Airtable bases. So, in 2020, I decided to re-enter the workforce full-time, focusing on Airtable consulting. The following year, 2021, I started selling Airtable scripts and premium licenses for my extensions. Then, in 2022, I decided that I would rather be an employee than run a business when one of my clients mad

Hi all - I hope everyone is having a great week! 💫 Some may remember, that back in 2018, Airtable released “Blocks”— which let you build your own tools and added additional functionality to Airtable. Then, in 2020, Airtable released the Apps Marketplace, which added even more functionality, and led to the renaming of blocks to apps because, well, they’re applications that work within Airtable. But that was never as clear as we hoped, especially in an era where Apps can refer to everything from Miro to Angry Birds to the application your team builds with Airtable. So as we look forward, we wanted to choose a name that reflects the way our customers can—and will—use these powerful tools. Our goal is to extend the functionality of Airtable, so we wanted to choose a name that reflects that future. “Extensions” was a natural choice. The Future of Extensions Extensions will retain all their same, great functionality. In the future we’re building toward, Extensions won’t just be somet

Hi everyone, I hope you’ve been well! I’m Jade, a Product Manager here at Airtable. We’ve got an exciting new feature that is live in Airtable today - you can now deep-link to a specific cell! Prior to this feature being released, users were only able to copy & share the record URL - this wasn’t ideal for bases with a high volume of fields per record. Imagine you want to share a single field with your colleague, but your only option was to copy an entire record with every field! Now with our new feature, you will be able to copy and share links to a specific cell. This simplifies the link sharing experience, as well as make it easier to navigate in a base. Using this feature is simple - right click on the cell you want to share, and click “Copy cell URL”. Now when you navigate to the base using that link, you’ll be brought directly to that specific cell. This feature works in the grid view, as well as the expanded record. Here it is in the expanded record: And here is the grid vie

The best part of this Community is the endless exchange of innovative ideas and helpful solutions between our 50,000 members.

This could be a hat, perhaps a pair of socks, newly branded T-shirt. Looking forward to the notable Airtable unlocks and learnings from each of you that will inspire others!

We are excited to announce that as of today, the Interface Designer beta is open to everyone, which means you will now be able to create interfaces right from your bases, no code required. What is Interface Designer exactly? Interface Designer lets you build visual and interactive interfaces using your base’s underlying data.
