Airtable experts are trained to help:

Session limitations to consider

Automations

  • Troubleshoot existing automations.

  • Create new automations.

  • Talk through the structure (logic and sequencing) of automations within your workflow.

Ensure you understand how your automation is supposed to work and what it is expected to accomplish.

Formulas

  • Customize a reusable formula to help meet your needs.

  • Support building out simple formulas.

  • Get started on complex formulas. Start building the logic, structure, and outline of complex formula

A clear understanding of the formula output, logic, and the fields that impact the formula.


We can help you write the formula, but we will lean on you to provide the necessary logic, equation, and requirements and complete the configuration.

Interfaces

  • Start creating a scalable interface for use on an existing data structure.

  • Learn new interface features that make building easier and more efficient.

  • Configure interface elements.

  • Validate or provide input on what you’ve built or are planning to build.

Your data structure may limit what's possible in interfaces, and some data restructuring may be required before creating an interface.

Airtable base syncs

  • Connect bases through one-way, two-way, and/or multi-source syncs.

  • Activate workflows in your destination base once the sync is set up (e.g. an automation or formulas that relate to the synced data).

  • Consolidate tables to create a high-level view of your data for reporting

Syncing tables to bases requires creator access to all relevant bases. Before your session, ensure that you have at least one of the following:

  • Creator level access to both the source and destination bases.

  • A sync enabled share view link provided by a creator from the source base.

  • Colleague with creator-level access to the source and destination bases.

Native integrations (Syncs +

Automations)

  • Configure a sync from a supported third-

  • party platform.

  • Configure and test automations using native integrations.

  • Create automations using native integrations.

Ensure you have the necessary login credentials and that the integration you're using is approved by your IT team and enabled by your admin.

Airtable AI

  • Learn how to set up Airtable AI features in your base, including in fields, formulas, and automations.
