recordId does not exist for my automation script to work

Hi there, I’m trying to create an airtable automation script whereby it takes in the Full name of a record and changes only the first letter into uppercase (upper caps). This is my code, I can’t seem to get it to work, can anyone help me with this? let table = base.getTable("Training Masterlist"); // Use the correct field name that maps to the automation's Record IDlet recordId = input.config().AirtableRecordID; // Correct this if it's named differently // Ensure that the recordId exists, if not, log an errorif (!recordId) { throw new Error("Record ID is undefined.");} // Field namelet fullNameField = "Full Name (As in NRIC)"; // Fetch the record that triggered the automationlet record = await table.selectRecordAsync(recordId); // Get the current value of the "Full Name (As in NRIC)" fieldlet fullName = record.getCellValue(fullNameField); if (fullName) { // Convert the full name to the desired format let formattedName = fullName .split(" ") // Split the name into words

Need to automate sending an email identifying a unique record

I’m trying to identify where a record has an expiration date and send an email identifying that record.I can automate an email that recognizes the expired date but can’t find a way to attach/send the identity of that record. I have a log (record from a table) and the entries have a field “expiration date”. My automation finds that record and sends an email that a record has expired. I need a way for it to not only do that but identify what record that expired (separate field). Is there a way to do that?

Teammembers with interface access are not able to run Airtable automations through a button all of a sudden.

Hello Community,since this morning our teammembers, who only have access to our interfaces, are not able to run Airtable automations through buttons anymore. The buttons are greyed out and they get a warning saying "Not connected to an automation".However, when logged in through our administrator account (with full data access) the buttons and Airtable automations work as intended.We did not make any changes to the interface, database structure or fields, automations, or the users permissions and capabilities. No changes to anything recently. Overnight things just stopped working.Yesterday everything was working fine, today no automation can be triggered through a button unless it is the administrator account with full access to the data. What happened? What could that be?We need URGENT help here. 🙄

Copy and paste statuses across list view records

Hi! I might just be silly, but is there not a way to copy and paste a status across several records in list view? In grid view it’s easy, just copy a cell and paste. Is there not an easy and quick way to do this in list view?

Lookup field in end-user interface?

Hi All – I have a large base which essentially functions as a CRM. The first field in the base is “partner name” and the subsequent fields are information about the partner - location, bio, Linkedin profile, etc. We use the base to track engagement and other touchpoints with the partners. I want to build an end-user interface while allows my executive director to input the name of an individual from the base and then have it return a few specified fields. For example, the ED has an end-user interface and is instructed to input a partner name. After inputting the name, the interface returns Linkedin profile, bio, and last-emailed (all fields that we collect and keep up-to-date). I know it’s possible to just make my ED an editor and give access to the entire base but we have 50+ fields and I want an more user-friendly experience. Privacy is not the concern here, rather my ED doesn’t need to see all the fields and details in the base. Is this kind of build possible with an interfa

Built a tool that archives Airtable bases into ZIPs locally (no data leaves browser)

I ran into Airtable’s row limits and pricing walls, so I built a free browser-based tool that lets you export full bases — including tables, links, and attachments — into a clean ZIP file.No data ever leaves your browser.No account required.You can try it here if you're curious: https://ar.konanx.comWould love any feedback or ideas for what to add next — especially if you’ve had similar Airtable pains.

Pretty Print Link

What happened to the Pretty Print link? It no longer works, but there are so many references to it for formulas.

Calendar updated via form

I am on the free plan. A few Co-workers can add an event to the calendar by submitting a shared form. The Airtable calendar is then updated. That works well. But say they need to delete an event. How can that be done using the same form, or do I need to make a new shared form?

Sending a single email for multiple records that fit conditions

We have a variety of projects and ask teams to log their cumulative monthly hours worked for each project. We have an "Hours" table where each row is associated with a project, a month, and a year. Then the team goes into the table to enter # of hours worked for each project. I have the table grouped by month. For example, the grouped field for January 2023 group has a list of 8 projects:TeamMonthYearProject# Hours WorkedOperationsJanuary2023Project A OperationsJanuary2023Project B OperationsJanuary2023Project C OperationsJanuary2023Project D OperationsJanuary2023Project E OperationsJanuary2023Project F OperationsJanuary2023Project G Teams are asked to enter their hours by the first Monday of each month. I want to create an automation that sends an email to teams that haven't entered in their hours yet. However, I do not want it to send a separate email for every single record that is empty - I want it to be one email that says the team has

Link to interface page with specific filter - understanding airtable's filter parameter values

I am trying to set up specific filters after a user clicks a button to visit an interface page. It seems that there is no native way to do this given the options airtable gives you,. It also seems like there is no way to add url parameters to an http address but I thought it might be possible to just do this using url parameters and a http page.Maybe there is a way to do this with a script? I’d have to figure out what the parameter values for the filter are, and then also have some way to redirect to a new page which might not be possible in the airtable scripting environment.

Where is Airtable Sales?

I received some interesting info about the new portals feature and have filled out the stupid sales form (because I have an enterprise account) but no one seems to want to help me. Sad that I’m having to go these lengths given that I THINK the feature might actually be valuable enough for me to waste my time trying to track down a person. Hoping some will route this to someone. Thanks.

Receving error 302 'Moved Temporarily' when using fetch method on apps script

I'm trying to use a web app deployed via Google Apps Script inside Airtable Extensions and Automations by selecting "Run a script." However, I'm encountering the following error:Response status was 302 'Moved Temporarily' but redirect mode was set to 'error'Despite this error, the action triggered by the request is actually executed successfully.I tested the same request using Thunderclient and did not encounter the error — everything worked as expected.Searching the community, I found a workaround suggesting the creation of a webhook to handle the requests. I implemented this through Zapier, and using the webhook, the requests now run successfully within Airtable (both in Extensions and Automations).However, this setup isn't ideal for me because it adds an unnecessary (and paid) middle step just to retrieve a simple success response from my Apps Script API.My questions: Is there a way to configure Airtable to prevent or handle this 302 error directly? Or, is there a better solution
