Hey everyone! I’m pretty handy with Airtable and have set up our company’s CRM backend and interfaces. But I’m wondering if I’m missing out on some cool features. I’ve mainly used it as a place to store info, not so much for managing workflows. Anyone care to share how they’re using Airtable in their work? I’d love to hear about different ways to make the most of it. Maybe you’ve found some clever tricks or use it for something totally unexpected? Let me know your experiences!
I’ve found Airtable to be incredibly versatile beyond just CRM. In our marketing department, we use it to manage our entire content calendar. We’ve set up automations that notify team members when tasks are due, and we use the Calendar view to visualize our publishing schedule.
One unexpected use we’ve discovered is for event planning. We created a base that tracks vendors, attendees, logistics, and budgets all in one place. The ability to link records between tables has been a game-changer for keeping everything connected.
Another cool trick we’ve implemented is using Airtable forms for internal requests. Our design team now receives project briefs through a custom form, which automatically populates a table and triggers notifications. It’s streamlined our workflow significantly.
If you’re not already using it, I’d highly recommend exploring the Automations feature. It’s opened up a whole new world of possibilities for us in terms of process efficiency.
yo, we’ve been usin airtable for project management and its been a game changer! we set up kanban boards for each project, linked to task lists and timelines. the automations are clutch for sendin reminders and updatin project status. defintely check out the gant view for schedulin, its pretty slick
I’ve found Airtable to be invaluable for inventory management in our small business. We’ve set up a comprehensive system that tracks stock levels, reorder points, and supplier information. The ability to create custom views has been particularly useful for different team members to focus on their specific areas of responsibility.
One feature we’ve leveraged extensively is the ability to create custom scripts. We’ve automated several processes, including generating purchase orders and sending low stock alerts. This has significantly reduced manual data entry and potential errors.
Additionally, we use Airtable for employee onboarding. We’ve created a base that houses all necessary documentation, training modules, and progress tracking. It’s streamlined our HR processes considerably.
I’d recommend exploring the API capabilities if you haven’t already. We’ve integrated Airtable with other tools in our tech stack, creating a more cohesive workflow across the organization.
