Overall Satisfaction with Airtable

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.
  • Visual Organization - it presents the information in a way that allows you to see what you need at a glance, instead of analyzing a spreadsheet.
  • Linked files - the ability to link records without retyping information is really helpful.
  • Integrations - I have had great results integrating Airtable with Dropbox. It makes it super easy to upload files.
  • Reporting - I have yet to find a good way to export a visually pleasing report. I have only been able to export to CSV with the basic plan.
  • Explanation/application - while there are a lot of examples in the help material, it basically takes a lot of trial and error to set up your first base.
  • Copying records - I'd like to be able to copy and paste records, but have not yet found a way to do it.
  • Increased efficiency and organization
It's well suited for keeping any type of information that you may have currently spread out in multiple places - for example, contact information, form data, logos, and invoices for a customer, partner, or donor. I have had less luck trying to determine how it can be used efficiently for things like editorial calendars and marketing deadlines. Since Airtable doesn't ping me with reminders, I still have to have all of those things in an Outlook calendar.
