Automations

Hello Everyone, i built a script for automating creating tasks for our team for the new leads you can found it on (Automate Task Creation in projects via a script). Now i tried to update linked records and other fields but faced below error:"Error: Field "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" cannot accept the provided value.below is the table that should be updated based on the script that I'm trying to create:and here's the script:let lead = input.config(); // Find template action items let templateActionItemsTable = base.getTable("[HIDE] Action Items"); let allTemplateActionItems = await templateActionItemsTable.selectRecordsAsync({fields: templateActionItemsTable.fields}); let templateActionItems = allTemplateActionItems.records.filter(templateActionItem => { // check wether action items matching request return templateActionItem.getCellValueAsString("Stages") === lead.stageName; }) // create template action items in work items table let actionItems = templateActionItems.map(templat

HiI have a problem I cannot solve. There are three tables.Table 1: Roles in a teamTable 2: Team members, who can have different roles (more than one per member)Table 3: Team projects where different roles are needed (multiple roles per project)Table 2 and Table 3 are Linked to Table 1. Now when a new Project (with different roles) is added, I want to send an Email to all members who are able to work im this particular role.My Idea: I can see all roles that the projects needs in Table 1 as each record (role) has a Link to the project if the projects needs this role. In the same row I can see all members that have this role. I want to use the "Find records" action to get all Email addresses from the members that have the same role as the project. And I want to have every email address only once. Any help is appreciated Thank you! 

Hello!I am trying to set up an automation where when a record is updated, the email column in the same row as that record receives an email with the information in the updated record.For example, I have 3 columns: Name, Email and Unique URL. I want to be able to put in a URL for that Name and have that URL be sent in an automated email to the same email address associated with the name.I have the email column and the unique url on the left hand side but when I go to test it, it gives me an error/shows up empty with the fields, saying I do not have an email and it doesn't show the URL I have put in the grid. Screenshots attached. What am I doing wrong here? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! So I’m pretty new to Airtable but it seems awesome and I’ve achieved a lot, mostly through help found in this forum. This is the first time I’ve actually had to ask something because I’m really stuck. And I’m not sure what I’m trying to do is even possible, but be good to know either way! So my setup is all based around events, and I have the following key tables: Speakers Sessions A session has multiple speakers, and speakers can be associated to multiple sessions. All pretty simple so far. But here’s where the complication comes in. For big virtual events, commonly each speaker will be in their own Zoom room, which is then combined into a single stream (I won’t bore you too much with the tech). So normally we’ll have x10 Zoom URLs to be used for the whole event, with speakers assigned to a room for a session. e.g. 10-11am - Speaker XYZ - Zoom Room 3 It’s worth considering that a speaker may be in one room for one session, and a different room for another (just to make things di

I'm trying/hoping I can do this. I have an extension added to a table (SyncWith) but that needs to be manually triggered to run/update the sync. Ideally I'd like to create an automation to run once a day and trigger that extension, maybe with a custom script or something that can interact with it.Is such a thing possible with scripting? I'm still new to Airtable.

I have about 30 measurement fields, 15 in Imperial, and 15 in metric.I am trying to make it so that individuals can enter EITHER imperial OR metric, and an automation would magically convert and update other field.Is there a way to do this in a single automation?

I have a Base with below:Table A = CollectionsTable B = ProjectsTable C = Dept 1 Sub TasksTable D = Dept 2 Sub TasksTable E = Dept 3 Sub TasksTable F = Dept 4 Sub TasksWe create Projects and Collections, with Linked Records.When a Project is added, it then links to all the different table sub tasks. These are very different based on departmental needs, hence the different tables.I need to have a direct link between each sub task and their respective collections so that I can run High level meetings accessing each departments status/info in an Interface with ability to change data. This means an interface run from Table A with grid views inserted for each table A, B, C, D, E, FRight now it works if I use a Collection lookup field on each subtask table to monitor for changes, and then an automation that then updates a sub task to a new linked record field connecting to the collection any time there is changes. However as my base grows, and automations grow, I am concerned that there

Hello,I am in automation and have selected a google account.  But when it comes to selecting google sheet, it wouldn't allow me to get to the login page.  I am stuck in the page shown.  I see a separate browser popup but closing immediately.  I have the pop up blocker off, also have allowed access to airtable for this google account.  Any tips would be appreciated. 

I'm in over my head.  I got ChatGPT to create this script for me, so ... I don't know if I've activated SkyNet or not.So I'm creating an automation, and I noticed that sometimes there are duplicate records, because the Webhook comes in and runs when a record is created and updated (so it creates a record for both).  I'm trying to create something to minimize this.Screenshot of automation: https://tinyurl.com/2q5a57jeWhen I try to update the record, I can't choose the record that the script outputs.

Hi all, I'd appreciate a bit of help.I am trying to make a two product comparison page. I have all product specifications in one table like this: And I want to pull the specs data on this other "compare pages" table depending on which two products are picked:So if Product 1 is "iPhone 11" then it would pull the specs into this "Product 1 Specs HTML"from the first table. Same for product 2. Hopefully it makes sense.Is there an automation or formula that I can use to achieve this? Much appreciated! 

I have a task table with start date, due date, and completion date.  Each task is marked open, attempted, or done via a single select.  Working to create an automation that creates a copy of a task marked as "Attempted."  here's the flow of my automation: Trigger:  Record meets condition / condition is Status field is NOT open (aka, either Done or Attempted) Action:  Insert the value of a formula field into the completion date field.  The formula field is simply NOW(), so it will change every day and as we complete tasks, the completion date will change to the current date. Conditional Action:  If Status field equals "Attempted" Action:  Create new record with the following dynamically inserted fields: Task Description New Start Date New Due Date Assignee To calculate the new start and end dates, I have created two columns in the Task table with very similar formulas like this: DATEADD({Completed On}, 2, 'day') The new due date field adds 4 day

When the automation send an e-mail, the "From name" field sometimes doesn´t work. Anytimes the from is correct in the received e-mail and sometimes the from field is noreply+automations@airtableemail.com The problem is very important because the recipiente doesn't know the sender. Thanks

Why am I no longer able to email customers automatically? This automation was working just fine before I had to update Zapier.  

Hello! Not sure what is happening, but I had automation that was working when a record was created. It was working just fine, but I had some Zapiere issues (I needed to update my plan). Updated my plan the zaps came through, but now the automation is no longer working. I even deleted the automation and rebuilt it. Still no dice. Does anyone know what gives? Cheers!

I have a script that takes the records in a table called "Runs" and creates a separate entry in a table called "Breakout" for each linked entry in the "Runners" field.  However, this script is currently only able to run manually, and if it's run multiple times, it creates duplicate entries.I'm looking to modify this script so it either runs automatically each time a record is inserted, or when it's run manually, it doesn't create duplicate entries.Here is the script:const sourcetable = base.getTable('Runs'); const desttable = base.getTable('Breakout'); const query=await sourcetable.selectRecordsAsync({fields:['Game','Runners']}); const converse=rec=>rec.getCellValue('Runners').map(x=>[rec.getCellValue('Game'),{id:x.id}]) const create=(el)=>({fields:{'Run':el[0], 'Participant':[el[1]]}}) const crt=query.records.flatMap(converse).map(create) while (crt.length) await desttable.createRecordsAsync(crt.splice(0,50)) Any assistance would be appreciated!  Thanks

Hi, I am trying to create an automation where every Monday morning at 6am, all my multi select tags set as ‘Followed up on content’ are changed to ‘Need to follow up’, but without removing the other tags that are already set. I also need to create a button I can manually use that changes all ‘Need to follow up’ to ‘Followed up on content’, also without removing the other tags that are already set. Pretty new to airtable, so thanks for anyone that can help!

I'm running into a formatting issue when I try to update a text field by populating it with form responses.I have a form that collects a user's name, a text field for "Troubleshooting Notes," and a timestamp for when the form is submitted. An automation sends these results to a text field on another table. The automation has conditional actions to see if the destination text field is empty or not. If the field isn't empty, then it preserves the existing text, and just adds the new data below. I've attached screenshots of the automation actions.The automation works...mostly. However, if the destination text field is empty to begin with, then the automation adds three line breaks before pasting the form results. So, the text field looks empty unless you expand it and see the text hidden at the bottom. Does anyone know what is causing this formatting issue? It doesn't seem to happen if I remove the conditional statements, but those are necessary parts of my automation.

Hi everyone. I need help with some automations. I want to replicate my ClickUp Workflow in Airtable. New to airtable. Thanks!PS...Check the image attached

I have written the following script which attempts to check if a field has the value "Definition" and if so make selection on specific single selection fields on a random basis. The reason for this is that the values will be used in a series of image mockups.I am completely new to both airtable and scripting so have absolutely no idea why this script doesn't do anything, but also doesn't throw any errors. I also don't understand (despite being on the pro trial) why I can't seem to add scripting as an extension - it just says 0/10 added. However, when I go to the automation tab in the table, I can see the script I added (along with another one that works). base.getTable("Pre Mock Prod (YP-PP)"); let query = await table.selectRecordsAsync(); let records = query.records; for (let i = 0; i < records.length; i++) { let currentRecord = records[i]; let posterType = currentRecord.getCellValue("Poster Type"); if (posterType.name === "Definition") { let options = ["_p_d

I am at a loss. This seems like it should be the easiest thing in the world. I am trying to write the TableID using a script to a field called "TableID". I have the variable value:var id = base.getTable("Target Activity").id;This returns the correct value. However, I can't figure out how to set the value to the field. Am I missing something?

I have a client who has submissions to an AT base via jotform that populate into a master 'customer' database. With the business, there are different approvals that occasionally happen that need to be noted. There are multiple events throughout the year, and the client is asking if there is a way to timestamp when they were approved, so that when they are approved, it updates the master database. Furthermore, they would like to be able to search the main database, and when they search for that customer, it will automatically show the approval, and the date of that approval.They would also like to be able to see all events that they have participated in. Now, to throw a wrench in it, they only have 2 events open each registration period, which uses a different jotform for each event, but they all currently populate to the main database. So, there are duplicate customer records with the same name, if they've registered for multiple events (in the main database). We would like to find a s
