Automations

I'm using an automation that updates a Google sheet automatically, however it is updating adding the rows twice for each entry. I have no idea why it's doing this. My only thought could be because it's a linked record. If anyone has an idea that would be great! 

Not sure if this is possible but I'm trying to use an automation that updates fields based on something that occured in a linked field. e.g. Table A contains events:Event 1Event 2Event 3Table B contains attendees for each event and are linked together.In table A I'd like to select something from a drop down to trigger the automation "when record is updated" and then it will update a field for each record that it's LINKED to. So far it seems like there's a way to do this since you can select the first table (a) and then do a 'find records' based on the linked field. I can pull the ID of the linked fields but when it comes time to update a field it doesn't look at the linked fields, it looks at the first table's fields since you have to select that table. Ultimately I'm trying to make this as dynamic as possible so that I don't have to create multiple automations where I have to manually

I have a set of records that are connected for our market garden. One is a "Bed history" table that keeps track of all events that happen in a garden bed. One of these events is "transplanting.""Transplanting" is linked to another set of records called "Nursery" - which is a record of the crop, date and how much was sown into the nursery. When the Nursery ID crops are transplanted, the user will submit a form through the Bed Records table, which will record which garden bed Nursery ID was transplanted into.It should also update the Nursery ID record in the Nursery table to have the transplant date and change it's status from "In nursery" to "transplanted". This is where I am coming unstuck. I have tried creating an automation to do this on the "Transplant" for submit, but am having no luck. Where am I going wrong? 

I want to be able to send SMS and emails to a group of attendees of a workshop in bulk via Zapier. It seems that the best way to do it would be to use the "when a record in Airtable is updated" action but I don't want to have to update each record individually to trigger it. I'd like to somehow trigger it from a master record of workshops. e.g.Table A - all workshopsTable B - Attendees of each individual workshopOn Table A I would select something from a single drop down like "ready to send info"  and then that would update a field in EACH individual record thus trigger Zapier. I haven't been able to figure this out using the built in Airtable automations, or linking tables together.Does anyone have a better idea of how to execute this? Worst case scenario I could copy and paste that 'trigger word' into the individual records so that it initiate the Zap but again, trying to do this one single action. Any help would be great, t

Hello, Recently I have got an excel with information about customers and their ordered products and quantities.I have added all the tables and fields in order to turn this information into airtable orders with line items.Is there a way to automate the creation of every ordered item listed in the columns of the 'ordenes' table, into the 'line items' table. What I have done so far with the automation, is to append 'order id' from 'ordenes' table, into the 'line items' table but I dont know how to grab the products and quantities associated with the order and paste them as line items.The column items on the 'ordenes' table are already records on the 'portfolio' table (which holds all the info about each product).Thanx for the  help 

Hello. I'm looking for a script or an automation that I can use in Airtable to automatically upload an attachment to an SFTP/FTP site. I have made it work using Zapier and EasyFTP but I was wondering if there was a script that could do this.

Big Picture: Im trying to accomplish a process to automatically link records between tables. The use case is automating a process where when a user updates their membership in an external system, airtable creates a new membership record and links it to a user account in our airtable database.  Basically our CRM's membership data doesnt talk to AirTable.  So Im using automations to export the data an ingest it into airtable.  Once its ingested, the membership data needs to be linked with a user record in airtable.The steps I think need to be accomplished.1. In table A, we Create a record with a {user account number} from a database not linked to airtable.2. In table B, I want to take the that {user account number} from Table A and match it to a record in Table B.3. Update a linked record field in Table B with the matched record from step 2.Im struggling with step 3 in particular.  Both the external datab

This seems like it should be well documented but I'm having a devil of a time finding a clear example. Goal: When a new Activity is created with a Type of "Posting Closed", I want to update the linked Applications so that it's Status is "Recently Closed".Table structures: ApplicationsActivitiesTitle [text]Type [single select]Status [single select]Date [date]

Hi there,I have a series of quality assurance data for my Online School which has been populated using different google forms and is therefore stored in different google sheets. I am bringing the data into Airtable to use an interface to visualise it better. The tables include:Lessons Videos Graphics Proofing among others.The unique identifiers for all of the records in these tables are the Subject, Grade and Module number. I therefore want to connect these tables based on these fields so I can populate all the data into a single table. I understand that linked records only work using primary fields (in this case, the timestamp), or a script. However, I have not been able to write a script that does not yield an error. Any assistance is greatly appreciated to identify an easier way to do this if possible.Many thanks,Jamie

My task is so easy. When a new email is received, I need to create a new record in Airtable with data from this email. All things go well in Zapier from start to testing. I see all data from the email in the new record in Airtable. Great! When I try to publish a new zap, I see a new window like in the attachment to this message. I can not publish this zap. Thanks in advance for any hint on how to solve this issue.

Is it possible to export a set of automations. I am working across multiple Airtables but require to use similar automations across them all. It would save lots of time if I could export them and import them to different Airtables.

I use Airtable to run a monthly market.Every month I copy a base table and just change the name to May, June, July etc. I use automations to add new stallholder details from my applications table into that month’s table.My issue is that I can’t duplicate the original automation to send the info to the new table. Every month I have to build this automation again. Nothing is changed, all the fields are the same. I am just sending it to a differently named table that is exactly the same as the original one. It’s a bit frustrating. What am I doing wrong?

Hi!, which billing do I need in order for this feature to run?Thank you

Hello,I'm seeing conflicting info floating around and nothing within my account settings that indicates when my automation limit/usage resets.And I hear 50 total unique automations triggers per Base is the limit, but there is a way to purchase/add more to our account?Reset Usage:My billing cycle appears to be on the 22nd and we are currently at 37,000/50,000 which seems unusually high in just a week, so it makes sense that it is the 1st of the month.We are on the PRO planI've seen info saying it resets on the 1st and some on your billing date.Can someone help?I have a 40,000 run I need to do on my data base and am worried about using them all up today (13,000) and then being out of automations until my next billing cycle of 22nd.  That would be a problem, esp since we can't purchase more.Total Unique Automation TriggersI've hit my limit of 50 several timesHad to combine some,

Hi there, My Goal (Image 1)I am trying to automate an email newsletter to send job postings stored in an Airtable base using the SendGrid extension. Context:In a Jobs table I auto generate the HTML for this list item in a field. (Image 2)In a Newsletter table, I lookup the HTML list items, of the jobs that are included in the issue and put it into an unordered list (UL). (Image 3)The Problem: When I parse the UL {listings} into the Sendgrid extension, it only displays the raw HTML. (Image 4+5)When I paste the raw HTML directly into the SendGrid extension, it renders it correctly. (Image 6+7)The same is true when I use this in conjunction with an HTML template from SendGrid. How can I fix this?Many thanksThe problem: When I parse the 

This question summarizes the issue: https://community.airtable.com/t5/automations/find-record-invalid-filter-error/td-p/100768I am running into this issue where the FIND RECORDS step doesnt work. The frustrating part is that it sometimes works... I added a script to delay 20 seconds thinking that was the issue. Email (duplicate) and email in the other table definitely match... there is not multiple matching emails.Totally confused why I'm getting errors. Everything seems to work:    

Hi,I'm struggling a bit with a slack automation. the idea: we have a list where all new customer appointments go in. Every day at a certain time the automation pushes the total number of appointments into a slack message. Now we have customers that make more than one appointment and we would like to also understand the number of customers. It would need something like: length of records unique but I cannot find anything like this.thanks a lot for your support!

I have "table A" that holds clients. "table B" holds items. I want to see if there is a match for a field value. If "value 1A" from table A is < than "value 1B" from table B its considered a match and i like to receive the recordID for both.

Hi, I have a track table and an album table. When an album status changes to “ready for release”, I have an automation that finds tracks that belong to that album, then feeds those IDs to a script. The script should do the following: Based on the track info, populate an “internal number” (works fine) Do another query on those same ids, but sort by this newly added “internal number” and another existing field, then update track numbers in sequence. It appears that the new search does not return results sorted according to what is specified in my script. Any ideas why? I also have this script separately from automations, where I go and pick an album manually, and that one works 100%. I’m not sure why the same thing in automations isn’t behaving correctly. // Sort by: // - album (fieldToRank1), // - the newly added main track number (fiel

I'm stuck on how to create this automation so any help is appreciated! I have two tables:Table 1: Each record corresponds to a purchase, with the following fields:"Transaction Date" for the exact date the purchase was made"Cardholder Name" for the purchaser's name displayed on their credit card.Table 2: Each record corresponds to a purchaser, with the following fields:"Full Name" is the purchasers name (exact same name as the "Cardholder Name" from Table 1)."Status" is a single-select dropdown that has the three options: New, Inactive, Active.I have created a working automation that does the following: When a record matches conditions: "Transaction Date" is on or after one month ago, find records in Table 2 where "Full Name" matches "Cardholder Name" in Table 1 AND update "Status" to Active.

Hi all,  I would like to create an automation that triggers when a new record is created. This record contains a field "date" without time. After the trigger, the action is to create multiple records with a field "date" with time. I would like to use the date from the record in the trigger and add a time afterwards.Exple:- Trigger = new record created with a field Date equal to "22-05-2023"- Action = Create 5 records, taking the date of the trigger, and adding time -> "22-05-2023 14:00" ; "22-05-2023 15:00", etc. I have tried to achieve this using a script in the automation but it doesn't work. Somehow the output in the script testing is correct, but the value displayed in the created records are wrong.. Any idea? Many thanks
