Inspiration
Pivot Chart Block: In our company airtable base, I wanted to get the prices for each products for the past 2 months in order to be able to tell our sales team estimates for the pricing so that they can answer our customers directly by phone or on chat, without telling them to wait for the prices from our vendors
Airtable Block Webhook: Another custom block I made is airtable block webhook which opens the possibility for anyone to use their custom webhooks and send specific records fields to do whatever they want here's the github link: https://github.com/mahmouds12/airtable-blocks-webhook
What it does
Pivot Chart Block: Getting statistical data (minimum, maximum, mean, median, sum) for specific numerical field (y-axis) grouped by specific field (x-axis) and show them combined on a bar chart to better visualize your data
Airtable Block Webhook: Enables airtable user to connect to their custom webhooks to do whatever they want with the data sent. examples: press a button to send sms/whatsapp/email to a contact (by selecting the records) to remind him of the next action using your favorite service provider send data from selected records for analysis and get back the results on another field
How I built it
Using react and js
Challenges I ran into
Thinking of idea that is simple but beneficial from the business point of view was a challenging one. I wanted to build something that we can make use of in our business airtable base, not just for the contest
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Time to learn, practice, and apply was limited for me as I knew about the contest late. But I am glad that I was able to learn and apply in this limited time.
What I learned
I learned a lot from airtable custom block creation process thanks to the documentation and examples... it's a very important feature and will make us more hooked to airtable.
What's next for Pivot Chart Block
improving it to contain a lot of advanced chart features Airtable Block Webhook: Making it more customizable to different needs, and handling responses for general purposes
