Automations

Hi there! I have a big table with business founders, and I’m looking for a method for new records to auto-complete the gender field by searching the same first name in the table and looking up the gender. How can it be done using automation?

Hi all, I'm trying to create an integration between Airtable and Typeform.On typeform, when connecting with Airtable, I can select the base and the table but when I select the table, the matching fields do not appear. (whereas it appears for my other tables).Do you know what can be the issue? Many thanks,

When someone calls through RingCentral and their name, or number match an Airtable record, is there anyway for that record to pop up?

Hello everyone, I work at an NGO and I’m trying to put together a booking system so people from a specific program can set up a meeting with someone from the team through a form. I did everything, but I’m having problems with the Google Calendar automation. It works, but I don’t know why it creates the event two hours later from the time on the date field. I’m guessing this has to do with timezones? but I haven’t been able to figure it out :disappointed_relieved: can someone help me ? Thank you!!

Hi, community! I'm sure you'll be able to give me some ideas to figure out the best way to accomplish what I'm trying to.I have a base with 6 tables: Check-in, Market, Business, Operations, Traction and Finance.Forms with data will arrive in Check-in table. Since is a lot of data for the customer to fill in one time, we had to split fields in 5 forms which collect the real values of customer business and 5 forms collecting projection values.Customer will answer this every month, so we have an Evaluation Month field in every table. Also, and that's one messed up thing, they need customer be able to send data in more than one form. So this would work something like, on first month, customer knows 4 of the 8 questions, he will send a form with these 4 answers; then, when he gets the other 4, he will send another form with the other 4 answers. Please, consider we can't ask our customer to send only one form per month, despite this was the easiest way to solve the pr

Hey everyone. I have a public URL link that I'm trying to use to upload to an airtable attachment field with airtable scripting. This is my code (the URL is obtained from an API call response): "let existingAttachments = recordA.getCellValue('attachmentsA');let updatedAttachments = existingAttachments ?

Hi. I've bumped into an issue when I want to send an automated email based on a field containing an email address. I've got two fields, one lookup that shows me the email address based on a selection from Email-Committee List. Help articles suggest using this formula -->> CONCATENATE({Committee's email (from Email-Committee List 2)}, "") but when putting --Calculation-- field in the --to-- field in the automation it comes back with the message that "The "To" input is empty" and I don't know what I'm doing wrong there.

Hello, this is an airtable newbie question:I have searched here, watched videos, and am completely failing with the following problem:I want to create an automation that sends a mail to ALL mail addresses contained in table 2 when a data record is added to table 1.I have the trigger, it works, it's simple.In the actions, I only have access to the data of table 1 in the To: field (where the mail addresses should go), not table 2.How can I access the data of table 2 at this point?Does anyone have a comprehensible tip for me?Many thanks in advance for your timeBoris

 Hi there, I hope I'll find a smart head here that will help me tackle this issue. I have two automation working on the same basis, we get an import from G Sheet, there are numbers there and we want to make the specific fields into a unified table, to create a 'clear' view with all crucial data in one place.One automation takes the numbers and places them like it's asked, but the second one keeps on screaming at me "Field cannot accept the provided value: Could not parse number." This is really confusing as there are no operations run on both of them, just simple data, and one works, whereas the other is just being difficult. Any idea what can be causing that? I thought that it just can't do numbers but one works so it's not that, both are done the same way and the issue still occurs.

Dear,  I am using the following automation :    It works perfectly fine...but not in every case.Indeed, when the field value contains a space (i.e. "The Demons") or a number within (i.e. The4demons) it doesn't recognize it (even if that of course exactly the same value from a table to another). Does someone have a way to handle this issue? Have a nice day, Arthur

When creating an email automation based upon a record being updated, I want to include the name of the person who updated the record in the email.

Someone is sharing an Airtable with me, not my account, "use this data" available..How can I sync this data to either another table I own or via Zapier to trigger a zap?Or do i need to request they share the table with me another way?Figured someone here would know....

Hello,This is a variant on an earlier topic. I have a base where users input lengthy URLs into several fields, and corresponding display text in separate fields. I've been using the workaround where a formula field does this calculation: CONCATENATE("[",{name},"](",{URL},")") and an automation takes that field and copies it into a rich-text-formatted long text field. It's clunky, and even clunkier when you have a bunch of markdown formula fields in your base. I'd like to do this with just an automation, but when I try to do it exactly the same way, I get text output like  [Airtable](

I am attempting to update multiple records in a single automation in a Synced Table. I am unable to update Synced Records from RunScript as I get 'Error: Edits to synced field "Stories Automation" (fldxxxxxx) are not allowed from this origin'.I know I can use the native update record functions to update a single record, but if I put the items into a list attempt to repeat group I am given the error `Synced fields can only be updated in the last action in an automation. Move this action to the end of the automation, or remove the synced field.`What are the options? I'm considering just using an API call to make the changes directly to the original table but am hoping I can do them locally. 

Hello,I am trying to trigger a script when 'Language' field of given record is empty (record=domain).I want the script to fetch domain's language. I first ask script to convert domain to URL, since the API call works best with exact URL and not domain.But the problem is that script can not properly handle permanent redirects. I 've tried handle permanent redirects by trying to convert the domain to a URL using 'https://www' + domainId + '/', but that does not work. I am getting this error: "Error processing https://viberate.com/: Response status was 301 'Moved Permanently' but redirect mode was set to 'error'" How do I solve this?My script: // Get input variables from previous automation steps let inputConfig = input.config(); let airtableRecordId = inputConfig.AirtableRecordID; let domainId = inputConfig.DomainID; // Set up the tabl

Hello all! I am looking for a way to add images to calendar event automations. Right now we are using outlook’s native calendar application to send out invites to clients and attaching an image of a map to help point them to where they should head during their scheduled appointment. But i figure if we have an automation that can send these invites out at the push of a button, it would save a ton of time. We are already capturing all the information we need to send out these invites in airtable, and all of those translate into the calendar event automation, but we can’t figure out how to include the map images. We tried an tag, but that doesn’t work. What would be the best way to go about it? Can an image be added inline with an calendar event?

Any suggestion is very much appreciated. Thank you!
