Welcome

I am excited to share that as of today you will notice some improvements to our mobile experience so that it’s faster than ever to update your data on the go. You can now edit individual cells in the grid view and make changes inline, without opening the entire record. This means you’re now just a tap or two away from updating text, selecting from a list of options, and more! You can expect to see even more improvements to Airtable’s mobile experience over the coming year :partying_face: , so please drop your thoughts and feedback below! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/q5Vv4AgpVaTXfFs1CpqOm0ODI-lZ-IJpRiNO6Qi8TWNJkhwnbeTzm7g4ok9nmamJpnhllqA5OyzI6N-KyJGWg5ZO8WnyJI7tppC3xUHUWC6HlbkJfQzghbYt-3DBxqnZWH97

Hi all! I am excited to announce that Airtable recently rolled out powerful new features that let you sync data from outside sources and streamline even the most complex workflows. We’ve added sync integrations with Jira Server and Jira Data Center, Zendesk, Github Issues, Google Drive, and Box. What does this mean? Teams working on projects with mu

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. Here you can find all the details for the first 3 streams, submit questions in advance, or add the events to your calendar. If you’re able to join us live (or just catch the recordings), please don’t hesitate to share your feedback here after the event - we want these streams to be as valuable to the community as possible. Thank you for the support and we hope to see you online.

Views let you visualize a base’s data in unique ways, often leading to quick insights. This year, we’ve released a variety of features that we’re going to dig into below so that users can organize and curate their views (yes, personal views too!) however they’d like - so keep reading, and let us know your thoughts below! 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:

Hello Airtable Community! We wanted to gather all of July’s product updates in one place, to make sure we keep you in the loop. Here is a list of changes, big and small, that we introduced in July!

A feature just launched today that will help you import entire Google Sheets as either a new base, or as tables within an existing base. This feature is similar to our recently launched Excel importer with much of the same functionality. You can learn more about importing your Sheets into Airtable in this support article. Let us know how it’s working for you and how we improve!

Happy Friday community! I wanted to let everyone know about a handy update to the 3 current email actions available in our Automations feature: Send an email Outlook email: Send email Gmail: Send email You can now preview an email that you are crafting, before testing any of these actions! This means no more multiple email tests before getting the formatting of the email the way you want it to look. Here’s an example using the “Gmail: Send email” actio

Happy Friday Community! Here at Airtable, we are always looking for new ways to unblock people, and help them find the answers they need to build to their heart’s content. With that in mind, we are happy to announce the release of a new Community category named: Featured Resources. The Featured Resources category contains collections of resources created by both Community users and Airtable. We believe this will help to organize and present answers to common questions, provide use case examples, and showcase awesome workflows. We have launched this category with a starting set of collections, but we will continually add to these existing collections, and soon plan to create new collections dedicated to other Airtable features.

Hello Airtable Community! We wanted to gather all of June’s product updates in one place, to make sure we keep you in the loop. Here is a list of changes, big and small, that we introduced in June!

Hello Airtable Community! We wanted to gather all of May’s product updates in one place, to make sure we keep you in the loop.

When rendering records in an email we now fully support: backslashes in a record’s content list and grid column names that include underscores

You can now toggle “Find Records” actions between searching by views and by conditions. Previously, this automation action was only able to find records based upon conditions. As noted in this new support article section, there are many cases where you may have already taken the time and effort to set up conditions in a view that you’ve set up, so rather than recreating the same conditions in the find records automation action, you can simply choose to find records in that view. Additionally, when rendering these records in an action step that follows the “Find records” action such as a “Send email” action, you can choose to include a link to your view at the bottom of the rendered record output.

Today we are officially launching the Gantt view. Previously a dedicated app, the new Gantt view brings a better UI and additional, more powerful features (such as milestones, “hide weekends” and nested grouping) to Airtable’s current Gantt offering. Gantt view enables you to visualize a schedule of related activities over time—like tasks, projects, or events—on a Gantt chart. You can use it for project management, production timelines, or resource management. What are the differences between the Gantt view and the (old) app? The new Gantt view has a number of differences and improvements over the prior app version, including the ability to: Create and navigate to Gantt views directly from the view sidebar. Make use of the full screen real estate without needing to access the apps dashboard / full screen mode.

Hello community! We’re happy to announce that invoice details such as an address, VAT/Tax ID number, and/or additional notes can be added to your Airtable invoices. A walkthrough of where to find this feature and add invoice details can be found in this section of our help center article. It’s worth noting: The invoice details you add will not show up until the next invoice has been issued. In other words, changes made to invoice details are not retroactive. Invoice details are on the workspace level. If you have multiple workspaces, then you will need to add details for each one from the workspace settings page.
