User reviews

Users find the Airtable web clipper very useful and essential for streamlining their workflows by clipping web content directly into Airtable. However, multiple reviews mention issues such as occasional bugs, limited auto-field creation, and the requirement of a paid Airtable Pro subscription, limiting access for free users. There is also criticism concerning unclear communication about the paid nature of the clipper and occasional visual glitches caused by interactions with other apps like Gmail. Overall, while highly promising and valued, the extension would benefit from fixes and clearer pricing policies.

Pros

Very practical and essential for daily work involving Airtable.
Allows easy clipping and adding of online content to Airtable databases.
CSS selectors make the extension especially useful and customizable.
Highly appreciated by users as it significantly improves their workflow compared to spreadsheets.
Promising functionality with potential to be a key selling point for Airtable users.

Cons

Extension can be buggy and break when updating settings or adding new clips.
Limited functionality with inability to auto-create single and multiple select fields within the clipper.
Requires a paid Airtable Pro subscription ($20/month) to use the web clipper, excluding free or Plus users.
Discontinuation of free access or unclear communication about paid access is a poor business practice causing user dissatisfaction.
Issues with the extension disappearing visually due to conflicts like Gmail's conversation mode, causing usability problems.

Bonjour, Merci pour cette extension très pratique. Petite question, quand j'ouvre des pièces jointes mon extension disparaît visuellement mais quand j'inspecte la page, l'extension est toujours présente... Comment la rendre visible à nouveau sans perdre les données déjà remplie svp ? Edit : C'était le mode conversation de Gmail qui posait problème. Le widget était toujours présent mais disparaissait sous le message. Solution : désactiver le mode conversation de Gmail ou presser la commande "Escape" sur le clavier pour retrouver l'extension ! Bonne journée !

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

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Airtable web clipper requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Injects scripts into web pages, which may alter or extract site contents, resulting in a substantial risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Airtable web clipper has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
