Hi Dan, thank you for your content. Which Airtable templates would you recommend for PhD students in healthcare fields? TIA

[felicityrisk]

Love the product.. is there a way to export a table as a backup please?

[ekbergpeter]

That was good. Can you give a list of your tutorials I should do after this? And in what order to fully understand. Thx, like your calm way to teach.

Hi Dan! Using airtable for the first time for content creation & I am struggling to understand why my automation isn't running. I have followed all of these steps to a "T". It is telling me the preview was generated correctly, the automation is on, & it even tells me it's good to go, but when I go back to the data tab & select "video" for the content type, it isn't automating the tasks like I entered into the automation. Please let me know if you have any insight for me, thanks!

Hello!
Thank you for your video! Although I use Airtable for a while, I still found some new tips :)
Could you, please, tell me if there is any way to change the time when the automation is triggered? I want to automate sending emails, and doing so at 12am isn't that convenient

Thanks Dan! I'm having issues with 'adding new line' within the Automation Fields. A simple 'enter' command is not giving me a new line, which means the tasks don't show up as check boxes. Any insight? Thank you!

[MohaSa]

HI Dan, is there a way to remove ( note assign status fields) each time you create table instead of having to delete manually

[K.ThankYou.Byyeee]

I'M STUCK STARTING 12:20. MY TASK FIELD WON'T SKIP LINES. WHEN I GENERATE A PREVIEW, IT JUST LOOKS SLOPPY. COULD IT BE THE VERSION? OR ARE THERE OTHER WAYS TO SKIP LINES & GET THE CHECK BOXES?

How to undo the 'tasks' once you change the 'content type'? I changed 'content type' to 'blog' post automation, but the tasks are still showing for 'Video'?

I am using a mac, and I was unsuccessful in getting putting a line separation in the task automation. i tried both return and enter key. I am following this video on safari. Is this platform dependent. I have tried it on chrome as well as brave. Is there a key combination that will provide me the line breaks

[IvaHolden]

Hello. Help, please. I am new to Airtable, and I am not able to add any images, not sure what I am doing wrong, but the system is telling me as an alert: "Starting February 6, 2024, Facebook and Web Search will no longer be available as options to upload attachments"
So is this the reason I cannot upload any images, or do I need to first connect Dropbox and connect all images from Dropbox? Only. Thank you

For some reason on the demonstration for automation where you section of this [ ] Write a script then press enter for the next line to be [ ] Create a thumbnail. Whenever I click enter it does move. am I doing something wrong
