Automations

Hey guys,I have a script that I pulled from this post. I want to use it in automations, but when I post it into "run a script" it doesn't work.How do I convert the script so that it works in automations?Here is the script: /** * Airtable Field Split Script * * For each record in a given Airtable Base, read the value of one cell, * interpret that value as a space-separated list (e.g. the value "a b c" * becomes "a", "b", and "c"), and store each value in a corresponding * destination cell. * * How to adapt this script * * 1. Replace the value assigned to the `tableName` constant with the name of *   &nbs

I will be SO grateful to whoever can help me out with this:Context:I have a two FREE workspaces (legacy and non-legacy). Both accounts show this message: On your billing plan, you may only email collaborators with verified emails. See more plans.In my non-legacy free workspace, I have set up automations to send out reminders and notifications to ~20 emails (users). These users do not need collaborator access or read-only as they do not need to view the collected form data (and I'd prefer they did not have access to view for one form). However, I am willing to invite them to "read-only access" if it will ensure they will receive the notifications/reminders I have set up.I am wondering if I need to transfer the base into the legacy workspace or if I can keep it in the free non-legacy workspace (I have seen that there may be a limit of 5 collaborators/read only access users). Additionally, I am wondering if all that matters is that they click the link on the invite to verify the

Hello, I have a huge airtable base, with multiples photos in single cells. I am using make to retrieve thoses photo, however I only get the first the first photo, after this it goes to the next record. How do I get every elements before going on?

Hello! One of my bases on Airtable is a lesson scheduler where the lessons are rows which include lesson details such as the date & time, boat and two linked fields - one for the instructor and another for the students which both are listed in their own tables. I set up an automation to email students the day before their lesson to remind them/confirm they are set for the lesson and that has been working really well. Over the weekend I have put together an automation that emails the instructors with a weekly rundown of lessons they will be teaching, and while it works I am having a small issue, the html grids in the email display the records in a seemingly random order (not chronologically). The way I have it set right now is: The instructor email automation is triggered at a specific time and day and then does three things: finds records where instructor is ‘Instructor X’ and date/time is within the next week finds records where instructor is empty and date/time is within the

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) => { let record = queryResult.reco

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 table for Lisa Bauer (with a "Being Considered" tag) - see image 2The next day, I dec

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 seems that I can't pull that data since thi

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 problem incorrectly 

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!

I am trying to have the checkbox (Status) marked check when OPT2 has all of OPT1 values.OPT1 is fixed value, while OPT2 is user's input.What is wrong with my automation here? am I using the "has all of" operator incorrectly?

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 adding Mastodon as an end point for my social needs.I would like to replicate my Twitter automations and post to Mastodon. Does anyone have any idea how to create a webhook to do that?

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 going on and how to fix it?

I’m trying to set up the new hootsuite automation that is in beta. 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 need help creating an automation that runs when a form is submitted. This automation script needs to take field inputs from the form and pass them along to Zoho to create a calendar event. The important values are the title, creation date, user, and description. Any help is appreciated!

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?
