Hello! I am reposting this as the opportunity has arisen to start next week... I have a really exciting opportunity - which could evolve into many other projects for a London based consumer goods merchandising company. Job Spec below: I’m looking for a developer with strong experience designing structured databases (ideally airtable) and rebuilding internal workflow systems for real-world operational teams. This involves consolidating many Excel sheets into a unified schema, designing clean data models, and building practical ingestion + workflow automations (PDF/email/SharePoint → structured records). It involves directly speaking with clients in a professional manner to gather information. This is for a mid-sized consumer goods supplier (private-label style). Timeline: 3 months starting in January 26 - with a view to expand to 9 months for a full time roll out. Would be very hands on / full-time Timezone: Strong overlap with UK hours. Rate: High fee - project based If interested, please send examples only (1-2 min Looms are ideal). Please provide: 1. Loom(s) or screen-share demos of any relevant work e.g.,: - A database or internal tool you architected - Any workflow system (CP engine, operations tracking, etc.) - Any Excel → database migration you’ve done - Any ingestion: emails/PDFs/SharePoint/Drive → structured data (Blur/redact anything sensitive — structure is what matters.) What the Build Involves - Designing a structured, scalable database to replace fragmented spreadsheets (the design is very important as there current structure is very messy) - Migrating/collapsing hundreds of Excel sheets into a single schema - working with the client to understand what each spreadsheet means / entails - Building a workflow layer with milestones, dependencies, statuses, and team visibility - Ingesting briefs and documents (emails, PDFs, SharePoint folders) into structured records using automation (e.g., N8N or Make.com) - Setting foundations for additional modules later (costing engine, concept library, etc.)

Can anyone give a tangible example of how they've connected airtable to other platforms to offset routine tasks? What are some of the most time saving automations people aren't tapping into? My example to help clarify is our Employee Hiring base/interface sending an email with each job application via airtable forms, auto sends an interview request that includes a scripted message and then the time-slots when you list whats open, auto sending an onboarding form when a application request type is set to 'hired', etc.

I've been using airtable for around 3 years now. I was in a certification program and she showed us how she uses it with her team and my brain felt like it exploded. It did everything I wanted my chaotic google sheets to do LOL NOW? I went through that insane certification process and I'm ready to make my interfaces do more and more. I'm looking forward to gleaming info from all of you here. Don't forget, just because something you do with airtable is a no-brainer, doesn't mean everyone has learned it yet.

Super excited to find this group - I use Airtable professionally and personally and love it! Anyone else doing the community challenge? Show me your use cases! https://www.rachell-weiss.live/professional/airtable
