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.

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.

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.

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.

The content marketing group is using Airtable to help plan communications projects. I needed a way to track multiple projects that might share some common elements but not all, and the ability to apply different views based on user or reporting needs.

My team is using Airtable for a wide variety of projects: tracking summer camp applications, invoicing and financial tracking, and as a data management tool for logging updates to grants. I am the primary user of Airtable and my team will also use it depending on the project at hand. We needed a flexible and customizable tool that would allow us to manage a couple of different things in a central location.

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.

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.

We use Airtable to keep track of sponsors and deliverables for events. It solves the problem of trying to keep up with various sponsorship levels and materials via email or with an excel spreadsheet and allows me to attach logos, sponsorship forms, invoices and more right to the record. For example, now I can easily see which of our sponsors should have their logo placed a website, if the logo has been received, and if the work has been completed, all in a very easy to read format. I am also planning to implement Airtable as a way to keep up with all of our digital assets and media contacts.

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.

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.

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.

I use Airtable to manage my independent research group as well as a campus-wide Center that I direct. In my research lab, implementing Airtable has transformed how we manage projects, budgets, daily tasks, expectations, and nearly all aspects of project development and communication.

My personal use Airtable to track their brainstorming - from outlining big-picture ideas down to itemizing discrete tasks and it allows us to streamline the process of prioritization and goal-setting.

In the Center, we use Airtable for all of the same project management as we do for the smaller lab, but also integrate all of the client and business information for tracking all meetings, projects, return-on-investment, invoicing, and contact information. This allows us to efficiently manage a large operation with minimal staff, and also makes for quick work when it is time to share our activities with institutional oversight. We love the copy/paste and customization possibilities.

In short, everything that was so painful and error-prone in Excel has now been implemented into a seamless, color-coded, centralized "information depot" that all staff can access in "real time" - and the "grouping" and table-linking features are two of the most valued aspects for our needs. I recommend Airtable to all of my colleagues!

We recently started using Airtable to hold the user needs and insights we discovered during a large research project. It's been a great way to hold all the different aspects of the research in one place, categorise and manage it, then circulate it around the organisation.

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.

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.

We have implemented Airtable as a solution for a specific program we manage within our organization. The program spans all departments with a heavy amount of data to be collected. Prior to Airtable implementation, these were all disparate data sources without a common platform to tie them together.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For Love of the Lake is a non-profit organization whose volunteers support programs to preserve and enhance White Rock Lake Park. We organize regular clean-up activities, tree planting events, and raise money needed to fund improvements to White Rock Lake Park. We use Airtable to manage all of our contacts. That includes staff, donors, volunteers, etc. Airtable allowed us to consolidate multiple spreadsheets that didn't talk to each other into one easy-to-use database. As the IT person, I like that I can show non-technical people what the database looks like with no coding required.
