Automations

I can do so much...but this one just has me stumped. (I have "Business" tier, Zapier, Make, etc. fwiw. I prefer to use Zapier over Make, but will do whatever I need to.)I get an email sent to me each day that has an attachment. It's an XLSX file that has the day's clock-ins on the first tab, and then each employee has a tab after that with each day's hours. I used Zapier to get it to automatically upload into a folder in my Google Drive called "clockins".I want to automatically upload that new file. -When i sync with Google Drive, it just wants to pull in the name of that file, basically. I'd still have to do the actual importing. I want the file (and all the data) to be imported.-I can't alter how the Google Sheet is formatted. Some employees have the same first or last name, so I don't have unique values in any field (and i can't add one, at least before it lands in my Google Drive.)-Ideally, I'd like all of the tabs to be import

When I try to use the form submitted automation trigger, none of my forms appear in the dropdown selector. It's very frustrating , because they are published and can enter data normally.What might be causing this?

We have a couple of columns populated with emails and names, the rest of the AirTable base will be empty (I've attached a screenshot). What we'd need is to trigger the workflow in Make based on specific time trigger automation and I just don't know how to tell the workflow to start as the specific trigger time automation in AirTable doesn't allow me to use the recordID field. Would you be able to direct me to a solution if there's any or tell me how you'd accomplish that feat?

Dear Airtable Community,im working on an automization to assign volunteers to specific working shifts according to their preferences. The volunteers can name socalled Besties to work with, so the code has to first assign matching volunteers into Bestie Groups and afterwards assign the whole group to a preferred shift. The code worked until I started "optimizing" the runtime of the code and creating a volunteerMap at the beginning of the code to have it set and not need to map it during the analyzation of the volunteers besties. (Hope that is understandable until here)After implementing my async function refreshVolunteerMap the following error occured:Error: Failed to refresh volunteer map: Request processing is disabled due to earlier failed request at refreshVolunteerMap on line 83 at async main on line 837(I already saw the post regarding a similar issue, but it didnt he

Hi everyone,I’m working on building a workflow in Airtable to manage workshop details, attendance, and evaluations. I’d love to confirm if the following features are possible within Airtable and get tips on how to set them up:Workshop Details Integration:Each workshop has its own linked records with two tabs: an Attendance Sheet and an Evaluation Sheet.In the Attendance and Evaluation tabs, I want a dropdown column labeled "Workshop" where I can select the specific workshop. Selecting a workshop here should link it directly to its associated records.Participant Records:When I click on a participant's record, I want to see:The workshops they’ve attended.Their survey responses for each workshop, automatically populated into the corresponding questions in the Evaluation Sheet

Is it possible to update a value in automations to update an entire table uniformly?For now I'm doing it in a script but it can run on 50 rows each time, so I made a loop but it takes over a minute each time

So I'm trying to import images in an attachment field.  I tried connected my Dropbox account but unfortunately it's not showing all the folders in my Dropbox account.  It's only showing the first folder.  Is there something I'm missing with permissions maybe? 

Emails sent via automations replace underscores with nothing, thereby corrupting the URLs, and other values, that contain underscores. I've read the many posts about this and still can't figure out the syntax to use to make this happen.Here's an example screenshot:What syntax would I use to ensure the Asset Location (URL) field values will retain any underscores?I've tried single-quotes with parentheses, and/or brackets but am not having success.Thoughts?   

I have read previous posts on this topic (syncing with Google Sheets) but a lot of these posts are from 2019, 2020 or even earlier. I would like to sync up my Google Sheets data with Airtable so my tables in Airtable update as Google Sheets updates. I am unable to use zzzBot because of privacy restrictions (?) and a lot of changes have been made to different integrations. Does anyone know whether it is possible to sync Google Sheets data with Airtable?

Hey guys, I am trying to automate my content posting through AirTable and Make and everything works fine until Instagram has to access the video file/URL from AirTable, then it fails and gives me errors. It's because my table is not publicly accessible so how can I change that so Instagram can access the Video URL without being blocked?

Hello,I am celebrating my automation is now working, however, whenever it seems that Airtable is sending me an automatic email titled, "Something went wrong with an automation...". I've pasted the email and error screen below.Can you help me understand if there's actually a problem, and how I can get the emails to stop?TIA,ML   

Good morning.We are experiencing issues with email sending from automations. We have detected a change in behavior with email dispatches when several emails are entered in the "TO", "CC", "BCC" fields.When the action is triggered, it appears that Airtable sends multiple independent emails instead of a single email. For example: If "Email_1" is entered in "TO" and "Email_2" in "BCC", then "Email_1" receives the message, but "Email_2" does not receive a copy. Instead, "Email_2" receives a direct email, as if "Email_2" had been set up as "TO".The expected behavior would be: "Email_2" receives the same message that was sent to "Email_1".We have observed this change in behavior today, 2024-03-07.##### Message edited to detail the case ####.To detail our case I have conducted a simple test, easy to replicate; creating a basic automation where I have only added a time-based trigger and the action Send an email,

Hi All Through automations you can: Create an outlook meeting Update an outlook meeting But I can’t find a way to cancel a meeting? Is it impossible? Thanks in advance Matt

In my account, on both the free and paid workspaces, I have the option to update a record's date field with "A specific time" -> "Actual Run Time" in an Automation.  However, in a clients account, they only see When a Record is created (or Form is submitted, or conditions are met, etc., for the trigger) and Base Structure. They do not have the option for "A specific time."Is this something that's only just now being rolled out and not every account has it yet? Like I said, I can see it in both paid and free workspaces that I have, so I don't understand why they wouldn't see the same option for their Automation to update a date field with the date/time that the automation is run. 

Hello,I'm looking for help on Airtable Automations. I'm trying to Find a record to update based on Table:Sessions field matching Table:SignUps field. Both fields are "formula" fields that make a text number because the original Sessions field is a linked record, and the original SignUps field is a Primary Key.I don't know why, but I keep getting the error message below saying, "No valid nested options". It won't let me pick *either* the text field or the original Primary Key for Finding the match, and I have no idea why.I already went through this post explaining how both of the "Find" fields have to be congruent... but as far as I can tell, mine *are* congruent, but I'm still getting the error. How

I created an automation that creates task records when a new project record is created. It finds the matching records from a "task template" table and creates new records in the "task" table. It runs fine except for records that have a user group populated in the "assignee" user field. It won't create those records. Both the "task" and "task template" tables have matching user group fields, so this isn't the problem. In the example below, the automation will create 2 records where the assignee is a single person, but won't create the 3 records where the assignee is a user group.  

Good morning guys,I need help with an automation for my base. I'm not an expert at all, everything that I already did, I figured out very slow and with a lot of help, but I can't figure out how to put this automation..... 🙂So, I have a base for my company. We are exporting different products to other countries. Therefore I have an order and sales table, as well as business expenses.

Hello friends,I am looking for an automation/script that does the following.1. When the field 'Start date' is updated in a record in the table called 'Projects'... I would like...this new 'Start Date' to replace the current date on a field called 'Deadline' in a record which is always called 'Project Start Date' in a linked record field of the triggering record called 'Tasks'.If it helps at all:- the linked record field 'Tasks' is linked to the table called 'Tasks'- The record which I want to change called 'Project Start Date' sits under a field called 'Task', in the 'Tasks' table I have no experience in scripting, Gemini provided me with the following, but it doesn't appear to be workingNote: My trigger is When a record is updated - "Start date" - on the "Projects" table:async function updateLinkedRecordDeadline(record) {const linkedRecords = record.getCellValue('Tasks');// Ite

Hi all, So this automation was working and I don't seem to know what happened. Now when I test an unchanged record, everything is fine, but then when i change something, it doesn't update google and gives me the screen shot alert. I have permissions in the google calendar to change, modify, manage (I'm the owner). I tried reconnecting the accounts and it didn't help. Any thoughts?

Hello, I have a question regarding Gmail automations in Airtable.I'm starting a business and am new to the world of marketing. I have extensive experience using Airtable automations, as I've been using it for years for other purposes, but I have many questions about email marketing tools and the limitations related to email contacts, spam, etc.My goal is to collect interested leads through a form. After receiving a form submission, I want to automate sending an email via Gmail with details about the services I offer. I also plan to create follow-up automations to re-engage the lead if they don't convert within 1–2 days of filling out the form.In addition, I want to send other emails periodically to offer new services—but not in bulk on the same day. For example, instead of sending a service offer to everyone in my contact base at once, I’d automate it so that an email is sent only when a lead completes 15 days in the database. In this way, there would never be l

Hi all, I have a long text field where I have numbered some text like below for example: Example text Example text Example text However, when sending this field in an email it always ends up looking like the below screenshot. I have tried turning ‘Enable rich text formatting’ on & off, I’ve tried adding it as a ‘list’ and ‘grid’ in the email but it always ends up like this. I just want it not to be indented at all, like I have typed the example above. I can’t figure out a way around this, does anyone have any ideas? For clarity, here is the field as it is written in Airtable, before being emailed:

Hi - I'm trying to create an Airtable for my team's weekly meetings. In one of the tables, we are adding action items from the meeting and designating the person working on it. However, we'd like to add an automation where these action items would then be created as tasks in Google. Is this automation possible?
