Airtable for our organizer database
We are just starting to use Airtable, but already it seems like it's going to add a lot of value over our current solution (Google Sheets). It will be used by a very small team of coordinators, who manage a lot of the operations and metrics.
For us, Airtable is going to be really useful in tracking contacts and attributes about contacts, and maintaining the connections between various tables in a more rigorous way than Google Sheets. Our data is currently rather dirty and not well-connected because of the lack of enforcing joins between tables (in Google Sheets), so Airtable will allow us to have the full functionality of a database with the ease of use of a spreadsheet, which is perfect for us!
- Having the capabilities of a database with the ease of use of a spreadsheet is really great for us. Particularly, the ability to join tables, require matches between primary / foreign keys, and executing queries are all important.
- The blocks are also a nice touch, where we can add graphs and summary numbers for quick access.
- Finally, the table views have been incredibly important to us so far.
- First, it appears that some of the querying functionality could be extended. Specifically, there have been some things I've wanted to do (such as creating various calculations or tables on the fly, and storing values from those calculations in other sheets) that I haven't been able to find the solution to.
- Second, and this might already exist, but an introductory walk-through to all the column types (especially the not-so-obvious ones) would be great. For instance, it took me a little while to identify that some functionality I needed was identified by the "rollup" field type.
- Third, I think that work can still be done on efficiently guiding the user through to specifically what they need, without having too many things displayed at once and overwhelming them. For instance, on various pages (like the Airtable Universe page), there are a lot of choices and it can feel rather overwhelming. I would love to see everything at a bit of a higher level, and then zoom into whatever I need.

Airtable is Amazing!
Airtable has streamlined the way I track my sub-awards, contracts and all of the information I gather from all of our contacts. We are a small organization so I am the only one entering data at this point and our other employees are viewing the information that I have gathered. It has made it much easier for all of our program managers to see the information they need right away.
- Airtable makes it very easier to filter data by one particular field.
- Airtable makes it easy to switch views for example from calendar to spreadsheet.
- Airtable makes it very easy to share the gathered data with all of our staff.
- I would like Airtable to have an address field that is exportable into a mass mailer.
- I would also like to be able to search for duplicate entries.
We are a tiny not-for-profit (2 social workers) obviously without a full tech department to support us. When we decided to upgrade from MS Access, we knew that we needed something simple to use, bug-free, dynamic, able to be used across a variety of devices and platforms and providing all of the necessary data on the people we serve, the organizations we collaborate with, and our own volunteers in a clean, concise, easily navigable, easily editable format. Airtable has proven perfect for all of these needs. And to be able to edit in real time with people viewing the same screen from different locations is an added bonus. The only downside--it is so good we entered so much information that we had to upgrade pretty quickly! But our experience of using it this far leaves us convinced that the added cost will be worth it.
- very intuitive and simple to use
- bug-free
- we are able to formulate it for our needs instead of fitting into someone else's idea of what we need
- usable across multiple platforms and devices--desktops, laptops, iphones.
- editing in real time, and several viewers viewing screens from remote locations
- entering a single record seems to have to be done across several screens. Perhaps just the way we did it, but would be easier if it were all done on one screen
- can't figure out how to "hide" a record once one of the people we are visiting dies. We don't want to delete the record, just hide it from the primary view.
- eventually, it would be great to be able to integrate into Gmail--eg to hit the email address and have that transfer to an email...but perhaps not possible without permission from google...
Currently, we are using AirTable within the Marketing department with the hopes of using it across the organization. For us, AirTable helps us centralize information that is typically hidden within multiple spreadsheets.
- I love how AirTable can place all of my marketing deadlines and run dates on one calendar which can be easily color-coded.
- I love how AirTable can link records between tables so that nested information on one event is easily accessible with a few clicks of the mouse.
- I love how AirTable allows me to share a password-protected form with others in the organization so that they can add information to the database.
- It would be extremely helpful to link tables between bases. This would allow for better segmentation of content and performance within a table that can quickly get overblown.
- While the new blocks feature is interesting, it would be nice to have a better page manager so that records can easily be set up for print.
- It would be great to have print options when printing out any calendar view.

We're using Airtable for knowledge, process, and records management as our research center grows to include more proposals, projects, people, publications, and presentations. A relational database management system allows us to keep track of the relationships between each of these with up-to-date records. University and funding agency guidelines expect us to retain records for reporting and we had been doing this in Google Drive, particularly Google Sheets. As we scaled up, records in Google Sheets became less manageable as new records were added that weren't properly linked. Airtable allows us to structure fields and relationships but is as easy to use or easier to use than Google Sheets.
- Great user experience and minimal learning curve. It wasn't until I became aware of Airtable that we found a solution that allows us to implement the best features of a collaborative RDBMS with our staff who don't have any training. I had previously used Zoho Creator and found that it was difficult to onboard new users because of a steeper learning curve.
- Easy to share views and invite contributions via forms.
- Blocks add significant functionality that would be hard to custom build.
- I'd really like to be able to link records or a view between bases within my workspace.
- The form designer is not as featured as we're used to with Google Forms.
- I'm using the Airtable Importer by Railsware to bring Airtable data into Google Sheets. Import from Google sheets would be a great feature.

A Must Have!
We use this to help organize artists and their entries for our art exhibitions. This is used across the whole organization since most of our work is centered around the exhibition and special events around the exhibition. The form view is a tremendous help in capturing the images of the artwork along with the artist information. This saves us the trouble of viewing the actual image instead of the image URL alone.
- The speed of downloading files/attachments into the base is outstanding.
- Very easy to train my staff - quite user-friendly. Straightforward instructions right there when you need it.
- Love the fact that you can quickly and easily switch between view (i.e., form, grid, etc.).
- To be able to download in CSV is great, but when one wants to download bases which include the image views themselves, now that would be crazy helpful.

Airtable helps make our team a well oiled machine
Our organization is using Airtable throughout our whole organization to track leads, donations, programs, volunteers, instructors and financials.
- Incredibly user friendly and intuitive
- Customizable, easy-to-read reporting
- Amazing integrations with other apps we use
- I would love to see linking between bases
April 30, 2018
Powerful, Smart, To infinity and beyond
Airtable allows me to manage the different types of warm, dry and safe household repairs our homeowners need help with resolving.
- Collaboration - Multiuser with multiple views allows us to see the information we want to see making it very useful for sorting types of information needed.
- Linking fields - Not just your normal spreadsheet. It feels like a super smart spreadsheet
- Online forms - So intuitive and relatable, and I love how interactive it is.
- I think a basic level of printing would be nice.
- It took me a while to realize it was a tool primarily for computers that could access info from the iPhone. I thought it was an app first and foremost - I realized I was missing the BIG strengths of the product.
April 30, 2018
Love Airtable! It's a dream user-experience!
My regional organization has implemented Airtable as our go-to project, event and CRM management tool. It has been incredibly easy to use and implement.
- Categories within columns
- Sorting
- Organizing Data (customizable)
- User Design and Experience
- I'd like to see something for task management. It could be that I am unaware of the potential functionality but I couldn't find any templates for this.

Airtable is a necessity for organization
We switched to using Airtable from another product as it offered us more options in carrying over our event checklists year-over-year. It has a great deal of flexibility, including the opportunity to view your data in varying formats. The calendar view is a huge plus for managing our content calendars.
- Multiple options for viewing your data
- Ease of replication and linking between records
- Simplicity of use
- Greater flexibility in terms of user restrictions are needed. It would be useful to have options for guests to access minor editing features without having to pay for a whole user (i.e. a light user). The previous product we had allowed for this, but Airtable does not.
- Workspaces are great for organizing teams, however, if you're using premium features, you have to upgrade every workspace, which can get pricey.
- An option to expand the height of fields would be nice so that in areas with longer text, you would be able to view more content.
- More colour and icon options for base customization, or the ability to add your own.

Review of AirTable
Our research and development team use AirTable to organize all sort of information: schools, teachers, collaborators, studies meta information, etc. This helps us keep records of past studies and implementations and keep track of upcoming events and see who are assigned to coordinate which schools and teachers. Everything is in one place.
- Linked records are very helpful. For example, we have multiple teachers from the same school. Previously, school information is part of the teachers' information and that creates a lot of duplicate information. Now schools' info are on a separate table linked to the teachers' info table.
- Need more analytic tools such as graphs and pivot tables.

My two cents on Airtable
We are currently using Airtable to manage our Radio Woodstock Cares foundations project and our live events/concerts marketing. Airtable allows us to keep everything in the same place and be really organized. It is a great tool to collaborate with our co-workers and stay on top of tasks that need to be done.
- Manage Calendars
- Keep our to do list up to date
- Great way to keep graphics
- More calendar features
- More color coded functions
- More ways to collaborate
Our growing department needed a tool that made our content planning, organizing, and storing more streamlined and easily accessible. Airtable allows us to tackle all of these issues in one fell swoop. Its tagging system, custom color schemes, and multiple views are invaluable to get an at-a-glance or a more detailed view of all of the content we have on our schedule, past and present.
- Multiple and custom field opportunities
- Multiple views for database organization (list, calendar, etc.)
- Historic database updates
- Exporting options

Airtable Makes Everything Easier.
I initially started using Airtable to assist clients as they worked through a certification process. The flexibility of the platform allowing clients to track progress toward meeting requirements and the integration with Slack enabled me to receive real-time alerts when a client made changes to their Base. Airtable proved to be so useful that we ended up using it for a variety of other purposes within my organization. We continue to find new uses for it, in fact.
- The fact that Airtable is cloud-based is key to its utility. If you've ever dealt with the chaos that ensues when there are multiple versions of a document floating around your organization, you'll understand why we love Airtable -- its cloud-based nature means that everyone is always up-to-date.
- Airtable is also incredibly intuitive and user-friendly. Anyone who can handle the most basic functions of Microsoft Excel can handle Airtable. We have used Airtable Bases to collaborate with a variety of clients and have found that most are quick to grasp the basics of Airtable with little or no training required.
- Airtable integrates with a variety of other applications, including Slack and Zapier, which opens up vast opportunities for customization and incorporation into existing workflows. Airtable recently rolled out a new feature called "Blocks," which are modular apps available that make customization even simpler.
- One feature that Airtable is unfortunately lacking is HIPAA compliance. I have seen a lot of enthusiasm among health care professionals about Airtable, but I have watched that enthusiasm evaporates upon learning that Airtable is not HIPAA-compliant. I think there is a large market that Airtable is missing as a result of this shortcoming.

Airtable is helping our small nonprofit grow
DEF is using Airtable to keep track of several things: Sales pipeline, event management, donor contributions, and program management. I use and manage Airtable and provide reports to staff as necessary.
- The ease of the relational database capabilities are key for keeping tracking of how our contacts, partners, donors, and event attendees are all related.
- The map block feature is great for when we're on the road visiting partners.
- The custom views are extremely helpful for viewing the most important information quickly.
- As a nonprofit, the reduced prices are also greatly appreciated so we can put more funds towards the youth we serve rather than into infrastructure.
- Of HUGE importance is the care and feeding I've received from customer support. I ask a question and get a response within 24 hours and the response is personalized and makes sense. The conversation with a single representative is such a relief and makes it so much easier for me to be productive.
- I suspect that the technology integrations with other apps, using Zapier or otherwise, will become more and more important to us - we're working on getting PayPal payment completions to populate our event attendee lists right now!
- I can't actually think of any road blocks or insufficiencies yet!

Love is in the Airtable
I use Airtable at Learning Shift for user surveys, research and feedback. It allows me to have everything in one place rather than different documents. It has great flexibility for modifying the bases and I love the templates. I am also managing a program for a non-profit and Airtable has helped me with the tracking of the volunteers in this program. The fact that it allows viewers to see the information has contributed to include more people in this tool.
- It's a very flexible tool. You can adapt to very specific cases.
- It provides templates in case you don't know how to start.
- Blocks of Airtable allow you to add a lot more than any tool I've seen.
- The learning curve is a little steep. The tutorials are good but I think they could improve.

Airtable for All Your Records
When my organization first looked into using Airtable, it was as a means of keeping better records of the NonProfit Organizations that OUR NonProfit supported, or wanted to support in the future. As we got to know the tool more we started realizing its potential for solutions across all departments of our organization. Airtable is now not only part of our workflow in operations, sales, recruiting, and outreach - but serves as a default front-end for internal tools we're developing.
- Data Management and Collection.
- Gone are days of collecting information from users, clients, partners, or employees and then having to re-enter that data elsewhere. The same tool you use to manage the data has the tools for collecting them.
- Robust API for Scalable Individualized Solutions.
- No software is going to be able to be everything for every organization, but the things that Airtable doesn't already provide ( and Airtable already provides solutions for many, many more things than you'd expect ) your company can build solutions for with an API that auto-publishes for every "Base" you create.
- Re-contextualizing and Displaying Data.
- Chances are your company already HAS data that would provide meaningful insight, but processing that data in a way that provides the clarity you're looking for can be a bit of a challenge. Between its basic features and "Blocks" Airtable takes most of the challenge out of presenting and contextualizing your data to provide clarity on all aspects of your business.
- Airtable's Freemium Pricing Model is fair - but the first paid tier doesn't offer much for what amounts to half the cost of the next tier up. That could perhaps be better balanced.
- Some data at your organization applies to all projects, so it's disappointing to find that there isn't a way to have a "Base" with data that is available to all other "Bases". That said, I've already been told they're working on implementing this, and in the meantime, it was very easy for us to use the Airtable API to produce the same result ourselves.

Airtable
Our non-profit is using Airtable with our Youth program to track their time for work sessions they attend. We also track their flight training sessions and any scholarship money they get. Airtable allows us to keep all of this together in a nice readable format so we can share the information with our youth. Airtable has done a good job of giving the end user a simple interface with which to enter information and view information.
- Allows us to link records to the main information on each youth in the program
- Displays the info in an easily readable format.
- I haven't been able to easily find some answers as I've worked with my Airtable.
April 17, 2018
Airtable for Non-Profits
We are a small scale international non-profit with individual donors supporting individual scholars through multiple partner organizations. We use Airtable to organize everything from our donor contact lists and associated donations to our student rosters and associated academic performance to our school affiliations and their respective staffs. Airtable has brought what used to require no less than different platforms (Salesforce, Google Documents, Drive, etc.) all under one relational database.
- A robust database functionality with ease of use that we can teach even our middle school students
- Rapid to input data from multiple sources
- Easy to integrate other apps through the API
- Honestly, we love the product so far. One thing that would be nice is if different bases could refer to one another. We circumvent this by having everything in one base but it results in a lot of tables.

We have just finished testing Airtable and are now rolling it out across the whole organization. This tool seems like a major game changer. It's VERY easy for anyone to use, but has extreme functionality built into it. Sometimes, you see a powerful tool that is too difficult for people to use, so you never get the full power. But with Airtable, it seems as applicable and approachable as Excel, but with outrageously deeper functionality. We are using it in everything from managing donor leads and project planning to detailing needs assessments done at African hospitals and sequence development actions.
- Extremely easy for low tech people to pick up and use. It feels intuitive and there are lots of examples that make it easy to learn.
- The blocks make some pretty sophisticated stuff possible, even for people who lack a tech or database background.
- Its a replacement for lead/case management, project management, and file storage - all in one!
- The trial period should be a bit longer. I wanted to test it before I rolled it out to my team. Just after I felt comfortable and started to share, the trial period ended.
- Shorter videos. I think there are great resources available and I really think that is a strength, but if I had to suggest something, it would be to make more short videos to give technical how-tos.

Airtable - We're converted 100%
We are using Airtable across the whole organisation, everything from applicant tracking to project management. We've found it to be incredibly versatile due to the ability to filter, group and work with records.
Every time someone mentions using Excel for something that isn't a financial report we point them towards Airtable and they see how much better it is.
Every time someone mentions using Excel for something that isn't a financial report we point them towards Airtable and they see how much better it is.
- Slice and dice data - it's much easier than other tools to group records and create insights
- Generate reports - they've recently released a functionality called 'Blocks'. We are using this tool to automatically generate dashboards and reports from data.
- Fit different work styles - You're not limited to viewing the data in a spreadsheet. You can view it on a calendar, Kanban, or in a card style view.
- The new Block functionality is relatively new and could be extended to provide more layout design/flexibility
- Currently, there is no way to link between spaces. This fact means you have to put all related information in the same 'base'. This limitation can lead to data permission problems and bases that have loads of tabs

Bluegrass Festival production using Airtable
Our initial use of Airtable will be to help us produce a Bluegrass Festival which is run as a fundraiser for my nonprofit organization. We also intend to incorporate it into the management of the actual organization itself. Its ease of use is something that directly appealed to us about the program.
- Table construction, design, and layout are the major factor in our deciding to go with Airtable.
- The intuitive nature of the program is very self-evident when starting out with Airtable .
- The ability to share information with multiple users and devices is a distinct plus for us.
- While we are just starting out with Airtable, I would say that it would helpful if there was a greater ability to design and produce printed reports.
Airtable is currently being used by our Operations Team as our CRM. As a small non-profit with a matching small budget, we quickly realized the limitations of what was available to us with CRM options. Off the shelf products didn't offer the customization we needed. The customizable bigger solutions were just that, too big for our needs, and often with a big price tag. We'd resorted to using Excel spreadsheets; not a bad solution for us, but a very limited one. Then came Airtable! After watching a few video tutorials, exploring the available templates, and getting inspired by what other users were sharing in the "Airtable Universe" we were quick to realize it would be a very viable solution to our CRM needs. We started with a seamless export of our Excel data into Airtable and started building everything we needed in a system from there. We were impressively up and running a CRM and rolling it out to the Operations Team in a couple of days.
- Airtable is easy to use. It has an intuitive interface and plenty of video/help support for what is not.
- It makes not only organizing your data efficient, but connects that data to everyone on your team in one centralized database. I love that multiple people can be editing the same records at the same time, and Airtable captures it all in real time!
- Easy to link data between tables. This makes a lot of information available to users with just a few keystrokes - which makes the frustration of hunting down information a thing of the past.
- Really appreciate being able to use Zapier to connect Airtable to several of our other systems that house data - MailChimp, SurveyMonkey, Quickbooks to name a few.
- Being able to change the data views is one of the bigger fan favorites on our team, whether it is in Grid, Gallery, or Kanban, to grouping and sorting by Field Type. There is something for everyone's needs there.
- I can see where being able to connect several bases together within one workspace would be beneficial. Currently, we've created a lot of tables within one CRM base, and in doing so has made it a bit overwhelming (visually) for some of our users. Limits flexibility a bit.
- The app for the iPhone is solid. The Android app needs some work/an update.
- The formula functionality between cells is a bit limited (not the depth of say, MSExcel) and not intuitive for all of our user base.
- The ability to create charts through the "Blocks" options is a great idea, but very limited in it's initial debut. Looking for more features (pie charts, series labels, dual axes, etc.) to be able to create more dynamic charts in the future.
- I've gotten a browser warning or two about Airtable being "resource heavy." Time will tell if that becomes an issue.

Airtable changed my life
We use Airtable to manage an Australia-wide pilot program. Through Airtable we manage the students and schools participating in the pilot, as well as robot assets, media and publicity, and our tasks. It also allows us to keep track of qualitative data that is important for monitoring and evaluation.
Airtable's dynamic database functionality allows us to rapidly update and adapt our information. We are able to manage multiple things in one place - assets, participants, tasks, media opportunities - and interlink records. This means that we have a complete, up to date data set in one place. The flexibility of being able to add and adjust fields as you go is excellent. Our Airtable workspace has evolved with us and with the emerging needs of our pilot program.

- Links between different tables. This is one of the best features if you're managing things that are linked to other things, which nearly everything is!
- You can add fields, change fields, remove fields, whenever you want. It's an adaptable, dynamic database. You don't get stuck with a structure that doesn't work for you-you just change it.
- You can view records in different views e.g. as a grid, form, calendar. This is so handy. When I'm collecting data about a new participant in our program I open up a new record as a form and fill it out like that. At other times I need to see them all as a list or group of different criteria and I can do all of that with the click of a button.
- You can send out forms and the data goes straight back into your Airtable workspace. So handy and makes data collection and management easy.
- Grouping, filtering. This is so handy for viewing where tasks or participants are up to in the process.
- We are relatively new to Airtable and are still exploring its functionality. We've also just been using a free account which has some limits but paid plans have features that could be handy. So far, we're just thrilled at how it's streamlined our workflow and information management.

I use Airtable every day in my organization. We are a company which manages danse company's communications and development. We work for a lot of different clients so we needed a device that gathers all of these data (clients details, social media calendars...). Airtable is simultaneously easy to use, complete (a lot of different operations can be taken care of) and professional. We are so satisfied with this product that we could not go back to another database than this one.
- Airtable can link different pages to each other very easily which allows us to build a complete database.
- Our organization notably likes the fact that we can share sheets to clients even if they don't have an account.
- Can be used on the app, online as well as on smartphones.
- The interface is very modern and professional.
- The smartphone app's design could be improved.
- The app on the computer should be usable offline.
- We would like some services that are provided in the most expensive version could be used as well in the other packs because it is a bit expensive for small organizations.
