Frequently Asked Questions
How can you use Airtable?
View details on the solutions Airtable can provide by main focus.
Can I just view if I don't need to work in an Airtable document?
Yes; you may request View Only access if you need to see data provided from Airtable that is not set to public, or if you are curious about potential use cases and layouts.
I need to do something complex with Airtable. How do I receive support?
Generally, extensive support is available on Airtable Community forums for any specific need. If the need goes beyond what resources the community can provide, you can request Airtable Support via Airtable Troubleshooting - Service Request in TDX. This support is greatly restricted to a small number of hours per year, so the issue should be major, and proper justification is needed to request it.
