Hello - I have a event data table ( nested in a event base) where I have list of potential events where my clients could participate. One of the column in the table is year column where I have a added a field agent to check the year the event is happening by routing the field agent to the event website cell. 

 

So the field agent goes to the event website and check the year of the event and outputs that in the year column. I want the field agent to go back to the event website on a regular basis to keep checking for the year. Because the year column is connected to a secondary trigger automation where multiple field agents goes to the event website and collates the details about the event (Description, Target audience, topics discussed and others)

 

For the year, when the field agent checks the website today, it might be still 2025 but tomorrow the website might have been to the subsequent year which is 2026. 

 

So the question is is there a way to automate the regular event website checks. 

Hmm, maybe an automation that runs once a day with a repeating group and an AI step?

 

Airtable doesn't seem to support website scraping natively. You might need an external tool like Make.com, Zapier with Browserless, or a custom script that could check websites and update your base. Once updated, your existing automation should still trigger for the detailed data collection.

Thank you Adam. Think the solution which you have suggested might solve the problem. Fine tuning few errors. Thank you
