Welcome

TL;DR: We’ve improved our sharing flow to make it easier for you to share bases and views with teammates. Hello everyone! My name is Sophie, and I’m a product manager at Airtable focused on helping users sign up and invite their teammates to join Airtable. After looking at our usage data and talking with users, we learned that our base sharing flow was complex and that many people struggled to invite their teammates. The UI was crowded, and users had a hard time understanding what their sharing options were and where they should start. To solve this, we streamlined the base sharing UI while maintaining how everything works so that your sharing options are crystal clear, but you still have all the functionality you need! You can now invite a user to the workspace, base, or a view all within the same dialog. These updates are now avai

Hi everyone! My name is Evan and I’m a product manager at Airtable focused on helping our users build useful connections between their most critical data sources and processes. I’m excited to jump in and introduce our newest integration with Miro! We know that a lot of your work can also happen outside of Airtable, so we want to make it easier for you to connect work happening across tools. With this new integration, you can easily capture freeform ideas from Miro into Airtable and transform them into structured data that can be categorized and analyzed – and then plugged into your workflows. That way, you and your team can always stay aligned with the most up-to-date information and achieve your best work. To get started – Click the “+ Add or import” button inside a base and look for Miro under the sync source options. (You might have to mouse over the “More…” opinion in the menu.) We won’t be formally launching this integration until later this week, bu

You can now add custom filter conditions to lookup, rollup, and count fields to limit which records are included in the results. Here’s how to do it: Create a valid lookup, rollup, or count field (if you don’t already have one in your table, you’ll need to create a valid linked record field first). In the field customization menu, turn on the “Only include records which match certain conditions” toggle. Specify the relevant filters for your use case. This also means that if you have been using helper formula fields as a workaround to achieve this same functionality, you can transition off those fields for a cleaner, clearer base! 🌅 Learn more about this new feature with the

Hi everyone - As you may have noticed yesterday, we’re introducing new visual cues and functionality to help users successfully read, create, and troubleshoot formulas directly in Airtable. Some of these new formula editor capabilities include: Colorful syntax highlighting Parenthesis matching Multiline editing with the ability to fold multiline formulas Surface error when there are unbalanced parenthesis Surface error when there are blank space or miscellaneous characters between a function name and the opening parenthesis Formulas are complex and hard to compose, espe

Hey community! Today we are officially launching several brand new automation features to help you build more robust workflows. Automation trigger: at a scheduled time Automation action: find records Rendering records as a list One of the best applications for these new features is making an email digest, where you can schedule a time to send a list of records that match the conditions you set. To see how all of these features come together to build an email digest, see this support article. Below you’ll find a shorter summary of each new feature. At a scheduled time trigger The “At a scheduled time” trigger

Hi all! We are excited to share that as of today, we’ve made it easier for you - and your team - to expand and edit records in Airtable. We’re making it easier to edit records while in the expanded view. We’ve increased the area around fields (including moving the field label to the left to save vertical space) in the expanded view for each record and made improvements to the activity pane. We’ve also made it clear when a field is editable in expanded view so your collaborators can easily make edits. We’ve added a persistent action bar so that common actions like changing between records, turning on comments, and the record title all stay in the same place, even as you scroll through the details. You can expect these updates to be reflected in your bases in the next two days. We’d love to hear feedback from you about this change, so please leave your feedback below!

Hi all - I’m thrilled to share that with the help of the amazing feedback from the community, the next wave of enhancements to the expand and edit record experience are here. We will be continuing to iterate on this experience, but some of the changes you’ll see include: The return of field icons and input borders Clearer disabled / read-only states Removed placeholder text Miscellaneous visual polish like larger gutters and updated container lengths Additional resources: Support

Hi all - I hope the week is off to a great start. I’m excited to share that we have some exciting additions coming to Interface Designer this week :tada: Gallery Element in interfaces unlocks the ability for collaborators to view multiple resources, images, or other key information at once. The gallery element visually represents thumbnails of the information from a base in an easy to review display. The use cases are endless, but some top examples include: List of resources (for example presentations or PDFs) Team directory (can add a filter element to filter by team) Digital Asset Manager Asset overview for launch Grouping in Record View layout is powerful for triaging through records quickly, but with grouping, we’ve made it even easier. This feature is particularly

You can now edit individual cells in the grid view and make changes inline, without opening the entire record.

Hi all! We’ve got something special planned for the last Table Talk of the year. In this Year In Review episode, we’re going to be speaking with Andrew Ofstad, co-founder of Airtable. We’ll talk about the features we launched in 2021, the thought process behind those features (and the feedback received), and generally how these features fit into the broader vision for Airtable. You can submit your questions for Andrew in advance here. Note: Roadmap questions will not be addressed during this session, but we heard your feedback and want to share that we have plans early next year for an episode to properly highlight some of our plans for 2022. More details to come 🙂

We could not be more excited to announce a new weekly stream about all things Airtable on Youtube, which we have fondly named Table Talks. Each week you will have the opportunity to tune in live to ask all your Airtable questions about a specific topic and connect with like-minded creators. We would love to have you join us for our inaugural stream on Thursday, September 16 at 10 am PDT, where we will be chatting about the power of linked records.

Thank you for the support and we hope to see you online.

There are three view permission types: Collaborative views: This is the default view type for newly created views, unless you have a large base (more on that later). In this view, editors and up can edit the

Hello everyone! We recently launched some exciting new additions to our formula field with three new regex (regular expression) functions: REGEX_MATCH(string, regex) REGEX_EXTRACT(string, regex) REGEX_REPLACE(string, regex, replacement) These functions can be used to match character combinations within text strings. For those interested, Airtable’s REGEX functions are implemented using the RE2 regular expression library. You can learn more about these functions in this article or check out some example use cases shared in the posts below.

We are excited to announce that as of today, advanced filters are available in Airtable! What are advanced filters? Advanced filters allow Airtable users to reflect both ‘AND’ and “OR” conditions in a single filter configuration. This provides more flexibility and customizability to filter the information in your views. You can get started with advanced filters today, we can’t wait to hear what you think! Related resources:
