Airtable Release Notes

Built with Omni

We’re excited to launch Built with Omni, a new showcase designed to inspire, educate, and accelerate how you build AI apps on Airtable.

Explore the showcase: https://airtable.com/built-with-omni

• Browse a growing library of ready-to-use elements from Airtable and the builder community
• Remix examples directly into your own bases to jumpstart new projects
• Submit your own creations for the community to learn from
• Learn effective prompting and development techniques by inspecting real-world code and configurations

And of course, the showcase itself is built as a custom public interface!

Alongside the new showcase, we’re also rolling out improvements to the custom elements experience:

• Inspect and edit code directly: Dive into the code behind any element and make changes directly.
• Tool selection no longer required: Omni will now recognize when you’re asking for a custom interface and come up with a plan, even if you don’t manually choose the tool.
• Public interface support: Custom elements can now power public interfaces (as demonstrated by the showcase itself!)
• Multi-developer support: SDK-built elements can now be developed and maintained by multiple collaborators.

What are some examples of what you can build?

Build fully custom interface elements to visualize, edit, and interact with your data in ways that go beyond standard Airtable components. Rapidly generate custom elements using natural language through Omni, or develop your own with code through our SDK, supporting a wide range of technical needs and skill levels.

• Product portfolio management: create custom elements to plan different scenarios for how resources are allocated against objectives, allowing executives to make faster decisions about competing investments
• Capacity planning and resource allocation: create custom elements to ensure projects stay on track and teams aren’t overloaded
• Marketing dashboards: pull in data from multiple sources to understand campaign performance

How to get started with Omni (AI Labs)

AI-generated interface elements are available in AI Labs. Workspace admins can enable AI Labs from Account > Workspace Settings, while Enterprise admins can enable AI Labs from the Admin Panel. Once enabled, select “Tools” and then “Generate an Interface element” in Omni and describe the element you want to build. Reference the kinds of data (e.g. projects, tasks and teams) that you want to use in your element and Omni will help connect the element to the right tables.

How to get started with the Blocks SDK (Teams, Business and Enterprise Scale plans)

If you haven’t created custom elements with the Blocks SDK before, follow the tutorial here and your first custom element will support multi-table instantly.

If you have created a custom element and want to upgrade an existing project to use multi-table:

• Update your Blocks SDK with the terminal command:

  npm install @airtable/blocks@interface-alpha
  

• Update your Blocks CLI tool with the terminal command:

  npm install -g @airtable/blocks-cli@latest
  

• (If you’re using Cursor) Replace the file in your project found at

  .cursor/rules/interface-extensions.mdc
  

  with the contents of the file you can find here
• Take a look at the updated documentation for reading and writing data from custom elements

Important details

• Generating custom interface elements with Omni does not consume credits
• Custom elements can also open Record Detail pages for all tables they’re connected to, and support a new “table” type of custom property that allows you to configure the tables they should connect to directly in Interface Designer
• This feature is in Labs/Beta and under active development—your feedback will directly shape improvements.
• Early access is available now for all AI Labs participants.

We can’t wait to see the unique interfaces you’ll create!

App Sandbox is now generally available

We’re excited to announce that App Sandbox is now generally available in Airtable! App Sandbox is the best way to build, test, and deploy AI and other changes to your Airtable apps without disrupting your team’s workflows.

App Sandbox Now Generally Available Video

With App Sandbox, you can:

• Experiment with new automations, AI features, interface pages, and app logic in a dedicated sandbox environment.
• Safely test changes with a copy of your real data, previewing exactly how they’ll work before rolling them out to your team.
• Confidently deploy complex updates to your live base, knowing you’ve already validated everything in a safe space.

Key benefits

• No accidental disruptions: Your team keeps working with live data in the main app while you iterate in the sandbox.
• Faster innovation: Try out new ideas, integrations, and AI-powered workflows without risk.
• Built-in filters: Only deploy what’s ready to go out
• Seamless deployment: When you’re ready, publish some or all of your changes directly from the sandbox to production.

How to get started

• Open your Airtable app and look for the new “Sandbox” option in the app menu.
• Create a sandbox to start building and testing changes.
• When you’re ready, deploy your updates to your live app with a single click.

App Sandbox is available to all Airtable users on Business and Enterprise Scale plans. For more details, check out our support article or reach out to our team with feedback!
