Automations

I've built a Slack automation that posts notifications to a channel when user requests are fulfilled. I would love it if it would "@" mention the requester to notify them when it's posted, but in testing I found that while it would show the display name (e.g. "@Anna"), it isn't activated and doesn't trigger a normal Slack notification. Has anyone found a way to make this work?

Hey, I am a complete Java noob and I'm currently trying to write a script that looks up a record (atOrgID) fetched from a previous search step, and first checks if a specific field is already filled. If so, I want it to add an additional value to the already existing ones in that field, if not, I just want the script to update the field with the provided value. This value is also taken from a previous search step (productId) With the help of chatGTP I created this script but it doesn't perform any updates:  let table = base.getTable("Org2") let field = table.getField("Product IDs") let inputConfig = input.config(); const atOrgID = inputConfig.atOrgID; const productId = inputConfig.productId; function addProductIDToRecord(atOrgID, productId) { // Holt schon existierende Einträge in dem Feld "Produkt ID" table .selectRecordsAsync({ fields: [field], recordIds: [atOrgID], }) .then((queryResult) => {

Hi,I'd like to know how I can move specific rows of data to another table. I have already created an auto move using the extensions however I'm not 100% sure if this will move all data or if I can select what gets moved.Thanks.

Hello,i am authenticating to one of our integration using Oauth mechanism as prescribed in airtable docs,after granting access in the airtable, the accessToken is generated in only few cases but not all the time. There is no change in the flow and code. But the successful authentication is intermittent. The "/authorize" is working fine all the time. but the "/oauth2/v1/token" fails sometimes.The request have the following params: code, redirct_uri, grant_type, code_verifier. The integration has client_secret, so client_id is not part of the request.When the request fails, i get the Response as:  '{"error":"invalid_grant","error_description":"Unrecognized grant code"}' . 

We use automation to combine records from more than one field and find that they remain in the automation field when a record is deleted from one of the original fields. Is there a way to remove these linked records from the automation field when they are removed from the trigger field? We don’t want to clear all the linked records, just the removed ones.  

I need to run the  same automation  in  multiple bases.  Is there way to share the code across basis?  Are  there any 3rd  party extensions that do that?  Thank you

Used Case Scenario:Table Set Up:I have a Requests Table, a Designers Table and the North America Availability Table.Requests come into the Requests Table but based on the requested roles, there are automations set to create a linked record in the NA Availability table for each of the requested roles. (i.e. if a request comes in with a request for a coordinator, program manager and a director, 3 new records will be created in the NA Availability table)The Designers Table is also linked to the North America Availablity Table so that any requested roles and any designers who are considered for these roles are linked via the Designers Table.  A new request for a coordinator has been submitted (this record will have an "Open Need" tag) - see image 1I originally add "Lisa Bauer" as a potential option (under the Being Considered field) - see image 1An automation will create a new record in the same ta

Hello everyone,I am trying to create a button automation in the interface designer that will change the status of a customer from "Lead" to "Customer". I've set up the automation, created the button and added it to the interface. Manually the process would look like this: Everytime an employee successfully turns a lead into a paying customer, they log a record called "Outreach Log" in the Outreach Table. Employee information is linked to Outreach log since there could be multiple outreach attempts to one Lead. The employee information includes name, email, etc. etc.Currently, our colleagues would have to manually add new records via interface forms: link to Lead ID, type of outreach, date of outreach, and outcome. I also have the "Log Submitted By" data field that pulls who submitted the form via their Airtable Login.Now that I want to automate this process, everything works except the "Log Submitted By". Is there any way around this? It se

i'm trying to automate the following workflow:A colleague fills in a form and it is submitted to create a single row in A sheet. This includes multiple dates associated with a new project. Example:Sheet 1 single row: project title: uncover | project start date: 12/23/2023 | project end date: 12/23/2024 | Milestone 1: 1/1/2024 | Milestone 2: 3/1/202mOn submission of the form, the dates from the new entry/project are used to create activities/new rows in another sheet. This allows me to populate a Gaant automatically:Sheet 24 rows created:Project duration | Project title: Uncover | Start: 12/23/2023 | End: 12/23/2024 Milestone 1 | Project title: Uncover | Start: 11/1/2024 | End: Milestone 2 | Project title: Uncover | Start: 3/1/202m | End:  I've tried a few times to do this and get various errors. I think I am probably approaching the proble

Hi,I'm trying to automate one task in Airtable.To give you a bit of context, I have a database in Notion containing Website articles. I'm sending the records to Airtable using a 3rd-party software. The data is sync in real time.I would like each new record that comes in Airtable database to be sent to a new database where the data is not sync. The other records that was sync up in the past shouldn't be updated.Any idea how to achieve this in Airtable?

Hi there,I have a database with form entries, and I want to create a view which shows just one entry per email address. I want to show whichever one has the most recent submission time and hide the other from this particular view, but not delete it entirely. Everything seem to suggest the dedupe extension, however, this just deletes the record rather than hide it.Thanks!

Hello !I'm sure it's very simple but I need some help because I'm trying several ways to do this without success at all...I'm trying to do that :I'm in the same base but I've 2 tables, one for customer list and one for machines list. Both are sync from another base.- In table 1, when I pass the customer's statute to "completed", I would like, in table 2, all the statuses of the client's machines to change to "completed" too.For example, when I pass the X customer to "completed" in table 1, all the X customer's machines in table 2 pass to "completed". Most of errors that I had was "record doesn't exist" or "invalid input"...Thanks a lot !

I am suddenly having many separate automations fail. they all involve sending an email. in some cases, the automation involves sending more than one email, and it will send 2 emails and then fail on the 3rd (all within the same automation). In other cases, it fails on the first email. i am getting two different errors. Microsoft reported an error while processing this action:Microsoft may be experiencing issues with their API | Message draft was unable to be deleted.Microsoft reported an error while processing this action:An unknown error occurred.In each case, the automation is using the Outlook Email- Send Email action. And they are connected with my outlook. the automations have worked without issue for a year and i used them last week without issue. i tried restarting my computer. this did not solve the issue. any other suggestions as to what is go

All fields are filled and permission for automation to be used are on, but when I run the test I get the error message “Hootsuite reported an error while processing this action: This social profile type is not supported by our API at this time” Is there a way to fix this? Is it a known bug?

I currently have an automation set up that when a new row is created in Google Sheets, it creates a new record in Airtable. Is it possible to set up an automation that if that row is updated in Google Sheets, it updates in Airtable? I don't want to use a 3rd party service to do this. Thank you!

I am working on a massive update to my table 250+ records. Each record has a "terpene profile" field that can contain anywhere from 1-9 terpenes, each with their own associated "effect" , "flavor and aroma profile" and "helps with" fields that all need their associated selectable added to their already existing fields. I know that my best bet is to run a script, but I am not very good at writing scripts yet. Any ideas on a framework for how I might format a script like this?

Hi, I need to iterate and create multiple linked records in table2 from table1 (without selecting them). But when I run my code I get the following error: “Can’t create records: invalid cell value for field ‘Property’. Cell value has invalid format: .0.0 must be an object. Linked records field value must be an array of objects with property ‘id’ corresponding to linked record id.” I assume I have to put the linked record id in the createRecordAsync function, but I don’t know how the syntax for that should be. Here is the full code. Thank you! let importTable = base.getTable('Master List'); let importView = importTable.getView('Active View'); let importQuery = await importView.selectRecordsAsync(); let secondTable = base.getTable('Table2'); for (let record of importQuery.records) { let fullName = record.getCellValue('Name'); await peopleTable.createRecordAsync({ "Person": fullName }) output.text(`N

Hi, I have been trying to figure out how to increment a number upon adding a new line. For example, Line 1 = A0001 Line 2 = A0002 Line 3 = A0003 I understand that the function of auto-number helps but i would like the characters in the front and wanted to see if there was a more efficient way than manually inputting this every line. Thank you.

Hello !I am encountering a problem when creating an automation script for one of my tables. I set up a trigger to occur when the user creates a record. I then wrote a script to be run as an action of the trigger. This script contains a 'fetch' call to a local Flask server where we will do all the process ensuing this trigger activation.Unfortunately, whenever I test my script, it always indicates :  TypeError: Requests to '10.110.90.204' are not permitted at main on line 1 Here is the script I am using : let response = await fetch('https://10.110.90.204:8050/process'); Can you help me with this, please ?
