Extension summary

Clip text, links, images, and more directly from the web to Airtable with just a few clicks. Customize your web clipper to meet your needs and get the information that matters most to you: if you want to save screenshots, pull images directly from a page, label content with custom tags, or assign clips to team members, you can do it all—without leaving your current browser window. Best of all, every clip you make is automatically stored in a flexible database that you can filter and sort in seconds.

The Airtable web clipper is part of Airtable Extensions, a Teams plan feature. Extensions let you extend the functionality of your bases: you can use extensions to bring new information into Airtable, visualize and summarize your records in colorful ways, and even directly integrate your Airtable bases with your favorite apps.

To use this extension, you need to have at least one web clipper extension added to one of your Airtable bases. Learn more here: https://support.airtable.com/docs/using-the-web-clipper-browser-extension

This extension is essential to my daily work, and I rely on it to record changes in the accounts I manage. However, I have been unable to use it effectively because the clipper now automatically attempts to close, often while I am still typing notes and details. Just now, I had to attempt recording via the web clipper three times. This is because the pop-up indicating unsaved information appears while I am typing, and any keystroke essentially accepts that I have unsaved items and proceeds without saving. I should not have to repeat this process multiple times, risking accidental acceptance of closing without saving. To resolve this issue, I request that the pop-up indicating the need to close the web clipper be removed. Alternatively, extending the time before the pop-up appears by 25 times would also be helpful. EDIT: It seems to be fixed now. Thank you so much!

Nice extension! 🌟 🌟 The only miss is it can't be used on my iPhone📲, I made a product to make up the gap: http://shortcuts.sequentialroutine.com The benefits are: * Can be used on iPhone, iPad, collect Safari web page * You don't need to buy a paid Airtable team plan

Offer the content clipper download for free, then tell you -after installing it - that only paid accounts can use it. Not cool. Very poor business practice. How to lose customers 101
