Automations

Hi All, I’m trying to automate a trigger that emails a form the day after the date that has been entered in a specific record/field (which I guess you could think of as a “cell” in Excel).So for example, say 1/26 is entered as a date in a specific field. The day after, I'd like to have an automated form sent out via email. How do I do that? Is there a way I can identify a specific "cell?" Can I automate a formula using if {today ()+1} or something like that?Can anyone give me a tip? Thanks!

I have a table with 1000 rows containing films information. I have a field called provider, which lists Netflix amazon prime etc. The issue is when a title is on both amazon and Netflix I end up with 2 rows. The provider field has their respective provider names in and the field itself is a multi-select type. What I want is one record but with the provider, field to contain both. Like "Netflix, amazon" How do I go about this? It needs to be a dynamic automation. as when Netflix removes it from their library I want to retain the record but remove just that category. I have views set up filtering by the value of this provider field too. I added the dedupe extension but don't see how to get what I need from it. Thanks 

Hi!I'm trying to create an automation that is applied when a particular field contains today's date.  However, when I apply this condition, it can no longer find any relevant records.  All other conditions are working correctly, my specified field does indeed contain today's date when I check my table, and my Airtable calendar is correctly synched.  Any suggestions out there?Cheers!!John

Hi,I'm trying to test a Patch request in Postman but getting an error.  I cannot find the semantics error.  Anyone see what's wrong?  I'm fairly positive my headers are correct because they work on all my other Postman tests for Airtable.  This is my json body: {    "typecast":true,    "records": [        {            "fields": {                "Closing Date": "2022-05-09",   &nbs

I had a script configured to generate a task list  on a button trigger based on the one in the Airtable Marketplace that had the settings input. I have moved everyone out of the base and into Interfaces, so the button won't work.I tried to write a new script (and I know nothing about writing code) to run on a status change trigger automation. It runs with no errors, and recognizes the input.config from the input variables I set up in the automation but doesn't actually create the new records. I had a developer friend look at it, but he's not familiar with Airtable, and the suggestions he did make were way over my head. Anyone see where the error is? let parentTable = base.getTable("Pipeline");let typeTable = base.getTable ("

Hello, I'm trying to create a "create record" automation when a new record is added to table A (Seeds); a new linked record is created in table B (Web Archiving_QA). The input data in table A (Seeds) to create the new record is a website URL.The automation is formatted: After successful testing, and turning the automation on. When I input a new URL to create a new record in Table A (seeds), I only get a blank new record in Table B (Web Archiving_QA) But if run the automation with the Test Step section > "Run as configured" I get the correct automation results, meaning the inputed URL in table A shows up as a new record in table B. 

i am using a step in an automation that i’m hoping will allow me to add a related record to a field that already has related records in it. the prior steps in the automation are picking out which record i want the script done to. i am brand new to scripting, so i’m guessing it’s something obvious. i got this from the documentation here: Airtable Scripting table.updateRecordAsync(record, { ‘Which trainings?’: [ …record.getCellValue(‘Which trainings?’), { id: newTraining }] }); when i test the step, it says the field “Which trainings?” can’t accept the provided value & when i ask it to show me what it got from the step above, it shows me an empty set. the newTraining value is the record id of the related record i want to add to the field. any help is appreciated!!

I'm working an automation where I need to compare a numerical value(s) within the same column.  When data is imported to Airtable, it is dumped and appended to the base already created.  I need to create an automation that compares all the duplicates, replaces totals(money) and deletes the old data ALL while sending an email notification at the end when this is complete.  Good luck and I could use all the help I can get.

 Hi, warning!  I'm new to Airtable and using the basic tier.I'm trying to create a website that will show different lists depending on the answers submitted in a form. I have created the website in Softr and a Form in Tally. The website connects to the form which now populates a table in Airtable.Users have to answer two questions, each with two options. Eg Answer A or B and then answer C or D.  This gives me four groups: AC AD BC and BD. My Base in Airtable now has a table where the primary field shows the time of submission (I have not collected emails or names) and then what their choices are in two single-select fields.   I want to  post/send/display one of four different possible responses on the website dependent on their answers.   I have tried to create an automation using 4 sets of conditions but have not been able to get the logic correct.  I have selected automations from the source table an

 Hello,I have been using Airtable for a long time - but am new to the community. Nice to be here! 🙂I would like to copy a value in a cell to another record when a condition is met.(The image as an example)If a product (e.g. product 1 in group A) gets a value in attribute B (checkbox), the value in attribute A should be copied from product 1 to all other products in the group.Is this possible through automation?Best regardsPhilipp

Hi All,. I am relatively new to Airtable and am hoping for guidance regarding an issue I have encountered. I have a table of riders which I use to record day to day notes and injury information. It is reviewed daily by our Doctor who then decides depending on the injury if the rider should take a break from competing or if they can be cleared immediately to continue . When the Doctor decides that the rider can be cleared I would like to have a button that she clicks which clears the relevant fields but also automatically creates a new record in another table to retain a copy of this information for reporting purposes at the end of the year. The relevant fields are 1) a linked record from another table showing venue incident took place 2) checkbox 3) a single select 4) long text 5) attachmentthanks

Hi, I have created an automation with a 'when condition met' trigger and then update the record. I have a few as the lead's details change. So when they appear in the flow i want to fill some new columns, then when they become a lead, i fill an extra column and then when they're a qualified lead - another column is filled using the automations.Like I said they're all running successfully, within the actual details of the automation, it shows it has filled the new columns correctly but in the actual table the colums are sometimes empty.Any ideas? 

One event takes too much of space on the calendar. How do I make the Subscription events to be of 30 mins ? 

I have an automation in a client's base that is triggered by updating the value of a specific field. A few days ago, hundreds of records (but not all of them) had the automation trigger, and it caused some data chaos. Looking at the record history, I can see that no one changed the value of that field. The automation triggered for seemingly no reason. Has this ever happened to you? I have a ticket for support already submitted. Example of a record that was not updated manually, and randomly triggered the automation.  

Hello! Is there a way to use the "When a form is submitted" automation trigger but send different emails based on different responses to the form? We have a single select option and we are looking to send different emails based on which option was chosen. I would just choose the "when a record matches conditions" option but we sometimes change the single select option and I dont want emails sent when that happens, just when the form is submitted. Im happy to use a workaround but dont know exactly what that might look like. Thank you!

I need to create an automation that works between three tables.Whenever a record from table B is linked to a record in table A, I need to create a record in table C that references those two records. If I link multiple records in at the same time, I need to create a new record for each that are linked.So basically, I need to create a record in table C that is [Table B Value]-[Table A Value.]My problem right now is that if I use the "when record updated" condition, it just won't work.If I link multiple records at once I can't pull out the Table B values individually. It ends up just creating one record of all the values.And if I there are multiple values in the table, it pulls them all.If I link[Table B Value]-[Table A Value 1] and [Tab

Hi, all! Can anyone point me in the right direction for how to convert a script (made for me by someone else - I am not a programmer) to run in an automation? It is currently programmed to run via a button click in my base, but I would really like to be able to make it run when a record enters a view. I'm not sure if this modification is a simple one, or something that is going to involve reworking the entire script. Any advice, tips, or direction would be greatly appreciated! 😊Here is the original script:  let twoLettersToNumber = { "ah": 5, "ch": 8, "wh": 16, "tz": 18, "sh": 21, "ta": 22, "th": 22, }; let lastLetterToNumber = { "m": 12, "p": 12, }; let letterToNumber = { "a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 11, "d": 4, "e": 5, "f": 18, "g": 3, "h": 5, "i": 10, "j": 10, "k": 19, "l": 12, "m": 13, "n": 14, "o": 6, "p"

Hello everyoneI have a problem with the history of deleted attachments.I have 2 fields "Attachments" (images): Field A and Field BI have a Make scenario that generates the attachment of field B if the attachment of field A is filled in Airtable. The Field B attachment generated by Make is the same image as the Field A attachment to which the Make scenario adds a watermark and formats the name.>> No problemI have an Airtable automation that if the Field A attachment is deleted, then airtable deletes the Field B attachment.>> No problem eitherIf I delete the existing attachment in field A and put a new attachment in field A (a new image), then first Airtable deletes the attachment in field B (thanks to the Airtable automation) but then in field B instead of having the new image corresponding to the new attachment in field A (sent by Make), Airtable puts the old image in field B.In Make, I can see perfectly that the image s

This is basically a leave tracker. Table 1: Employee DetailsThis table contains the start date of the employee and a column that computes the available leave credits they have accumulated.Column LEAVES is linked to Table 2 and should look up the duration of the leave request applied for while another field computes the remaining leave creditsTable 2: Leave RequestsThis table computes the duration of the leave applied for using the FROM and TO DATE.

I'm using a script in an automation to try and add a new option to a single select field. As far as I can tell, everything seems setup correctly. Permissions on the field is also fine too.Here's the script: let config = input.config(); let subtaskId = config.subtaskId; let name = config.name[0]; let color = config.color[0]; let subtasksTable = base.getTable("Subtasks"); const singleSelect = subtasksTable.getField("mySingleSelectField"); await singleSelect.updateOptionsAsync({ choices: [...singleSelect.options.choices, {name: name, color: color}] }); When I run it, I get this error: Error: Cannot update field config from scripting automation at main on line 10 `name` and `color` are input variables that are looking correct. The table and field the script is referencing do exist. From that error message it sounds like this isn't possible from automation, or what exactly am I missing

Hi everyone,I have Table A with a list of suppliers, Table B with a list of generic products (linked to multiple suppliers from Table A), and Table C with a list of specific products linked to a specific generic product from Table B and a specific supplier from Table A.I would like from Table B that when I add a new supplier to a generic product (in the supplier field linked to multiple suppliers), it automatically creates a new record in Table C, with the specific supplier associated to the generic product.Any help on this would be much appreciated ?
