Automations

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!

Hello, my goal is create an automation that update all record meet record update.see atached filewhen I change the value of record indicated from 99 to 1, I want all others records of same finish and same date chage to 1 too.ThanksSylvain

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've made the primary field an autonumber for a unique identifier.I've created an automation that does the following:Trigger: When a record enters the view (meaning the a form has been submitted)Find Reco

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 ?

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})

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

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 th

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 form
