Product area:

Airtable experts are trained to help with:

Automations

  • Create new automations.

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

Formulas

  • Customize a reusable formula to help meet your needs.

  • Support building out simple formulas.

  • Get started on complex formulas by building their logic, structure, and outline.

  • Customer to provide 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 an interface efficient.

  • Configure interface elements.

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

Airtable base sync

  • 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.

Special Considerations: Syncing tables to bases requires creator access to all relevant bases. Builder participants should have the following permissions:

  • 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.

Special Considerations: Prior to the session, you should ensure you have the necessary login credentials, IT approval to use the integration and that it has been enabled by an Airtable admin.

Airtable AI

  • Setting up Airtable AI features in a base, including in fields, formulas, and automations.

  • Guidance on writing simple personalized AI prompts.

Special Considerations: AI must be enabled in your workspace.
