Automations

Hello everybody,For my personal knowledge, I want to create an automation to send emails in mass to the interlocutors but one email per person. I mean : 1) How do we automate to send an email to each of the freelancers? So in “To”, there will only be the freelancer concerned?In the Find Record, I wrote (See screenshot 1):Where freelance is not emptyand Status is "A rédiger"and date-publication is todayWhat I understood in human language: "Hey Airtable, you will do something when the Freelance field is not empty, so when there is someone to identify and the status is "A rédiger" and that 'in addition the publication date is for today'.Then I configured the email by saying (See screenshot 2):To: List of "freelance" and "List of Name".Human language: Send to the list of email addresses identified in the freelance field.Messages: "blablabla"...Grid of records: “post_idee” and “freelance”

Hi,I'd like to ask how many emails i can send through automation triggered send mail action.I've read other posts and threads but i am still confused with the wording of Airtable.it says I can send any number of emails to collaborators with verified emails.and also i can send email to 100 unique non-collaborator email address per day.In scenario, I send task notification email to "A" non-collaborator email address, and then sends task assigned email to "B", when "A" completes and changes the status, and if it sends completion email to both "A", and "B" then would it still count as 2 unique collaborator, and i still have 98 more unique non-collaborator email address room left?Just want to clear up this before i start mailing stuff through the automation.Thanks

Hello, I have a DB ~15,000 records. I wrote a script to merge and delete records. It compares three data fields for duplications and combines the duplicate records. It also will merge data from two other fields if the fields are not empty. I tested my script on a 500 record DB and it works fine. When I test on a 2,500 record DB it times out. Can someone make any suggestions on how I can cut the execution time on my script ? I've seen posts about using a hash index, but I don't think that would work for what I want to do. Because I need to iterate through all records to find duplicates. If I'm wrong I'd appreciate insight.   var table = base.getTable('Testing_Dupes'); var query = await table.selectRecordsAsync(); //find records with a duplicate (first name, last name, residence) let dupli = query.records.filter((record) =>{ return query.records.find((potDupe)=>{ return record.ge

Hello,I would like to ask whether is possible to copy linked connection between two tables with automation?I have three tables:1. Summary - here I would like to collect prices from Payment and VAT from Invoices2. Invoices - here are list of invoices, each has at least one connected Payment.3. Payment - list of payments with specific pricesIn Payment table I manually connect each payment to specific Summary.What I would like to do is automatically create/update Summary field in Invoices table with same linked connection as I do with Payment, so in Summary table VAT can be calculated. I tried it with automation, but probably I have mistake somewhere in the action..Hope I explain it clearly, here is link to my sample base - https://airtable.com/apphUNbqkv8pD

Hi everyone,I'm new to Airtable and I'm trying to automate the process of updating fields in a primary table based on records filled out in a secondary table. Both tables share the same ID for each record. The primary table serves as my master record, while the secondary table contains five fields that will be completed via a form. I'm pre-populating the ID in the form to ensure consistency across tables. However, I'm struggling to find a way to automatically reflect the updates from the secondary table in the master record table as soon as a new record is created. I feel like there should be a simple solution, but I haven't managed to figure it out yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

When an interface button is used to trigger an automation, does it leave any kind of trail in terms of date clicked?I am making an interface for a staff member to generate a draft contract, but she needs to do it only once. Since the button is so easy to click, I am afraid of it being generated multiple times. I thought I could somehow put a field showing below it of the date the automation ran. Thanks!

Generally, I've been very happy with Airtable's documentation and what's available in the community.  Not so much with this issue.  I see posts ALL OVER the community about people needing to query a table or view and filter their results (like a typical WHERE clause in SQL).  This is one of the most common questions/issues I see, and yet the support from Airtable staff on providing very clear example code for accomplishing this is between abysmal to non-existent.  I'm no genius, but I'm fairly bright.  Trying to figure out the exact syntax for accomplishing this from the info available is way to difficult!  Come on, Airtable!  Help us out!I'd like to see a new section that supplies plenty of specific script code samples for the most common query filtering, such as...1) A basic string field "where FIELD = 'Some value'"2) When multiple fields need to be included . "where FIELD1 = 'value' AND FIELD2 = 'somevalue'"3) When yo

I have setup an automation to create a new event in Google Calendar. I need it to be an All Day event however, the automation does not create it as such. Instead it is adding an arbitrary time to the event, in this case 12pm.I am using the same Date field from my table as my Start and End times and the date format in the table does not include time. I am also including the same Date field in the All Day Event option when configuring the automation.Does anyone know how to create an All Day event in Google Calendar through an automation?(I do not want to make the Start Time 12:00am and End Time 11:59pm, it does not create the same type of formatting that an All Day event has on GCal.)

Hi hi.I'm stumped. I set up a ridiculously basic automation for a client to send an email at a scheduled time. It's set up as follows:Trigger: at 9:00am on the 15th of the monthAction 1: Find Records that match a condition (billingStatus = Bill By Month)Action 2: Using the records that were found in Action 1, send one email per record. Each email has my client's email address as both the bcc: and the Reply To email. The Run History shows that earlier today, the automation ran once and 4 emails were sent. But my client got 6 emails! 2 were correct and only were sent once = yay; 2 were sent to the same email address twice - one with the right information and one with the wrong information = boo. So it's not happening every time to every email.The attached multipleEmails picture tries to tell the story of what my client sent me using yellow and blue arrows. The emailExample picture shows a redacted view of the automation run history: each cl

Hi. Sorry, but I'm struggling to know how to do this. After my automation sequence, I want to update a date field with todays date to show when the automation ran. I've searched hard here, but I cannot find a way to do this. I've tried a formula in the chosen field to update, but formulas don't seem to be accepted in the 'update record' module.

Hello, I am trying to set up an automation that is sending out all our Purchase orders as an email via a shared distribution list.I can link my account, but I do not have the option to choose the "send as" Example: me@test.com  is my account and I also have access to the procurement@test.com distribution list. I log into my account in the "send email via gmail" automation, but after that it is linked to my private email. I can choose the distribution list as a sender via Zapier, but I would like to cut that out. Thanks for any help and advice

Hi Everybody! since start of the year I've noticed a change in the behaviour of one automation, that is causing me a lot of trouble.In a table I've a formula field that generates the ID necessary to link the record to another one in another table. The automation copy this formula field in the link field and the association is done. The link field as the selection limited to a specific view. Up until recent, this automation as worked very well, but now is not selecting the linked record only in the specific view, but outside of it.Sadly in the table that need to be associated, there some ID that are identical, so the association is not correct anymore. For this reason the selection on the link field on the first table was limited to a specific view, and it worked just fine, but now is not the case anymore.I know that the better solution would be to change the formula that generates the ID of the second table, so that they are unique, but this h

Hello! I have 2 tables in my database:'Employee Directory' with fields: Name, Seniority, Department, and Email.'Equipment Requests' with fields: Request, Employee (linked), Department (lookup), Email (lookup), and Status.I would like to create an automation where, upon the creation of a request (trigger), an email is sent (action) to the manager of the same department where the employee works.After setting up the trigger ('when a record is created'), I attempted to configure an action ('find records') that operates on the 'Employee Directory' table, finding records based on a condition. The condition should be 'where Department is' some dynamic condition. However, I am unable to select a dynamic item for the Department; it appears grayed out and states "Cannot assign list of string to string".Could you please assist me with this issue?

I am using Airtable's "Project Tracker" template which has two tables: 📝 Tasks, timelines, and assignees and 👀 Overview.I adapted the template to my team's needs. I want to accomplish the following,I want my team to update the status column in the 📝 Tasks, timelines, and assignees table.This table is organized so your tasks are grouped by project. There will be multiple tasks per project.In the Overview table, you can see the projects.The 👀 Overview table has a status column (or field) that should automatically update to COMPLETE, when all tasks under the project in the  📝 Tasks, timelines, and assignees have a status marked to COMPLETE.

For the automation above, I kept getting an error OR inaccurate output. When I would test it out and submit a 90% score, it keeps creating a record as if the score was less 89.99

Hi,I've created an inventory and order system using airtable but I'm being held back from having airtable calculate my order cost using a roll up. We sell some products with a special offer, for example, a hoodie normally costs £30 but if you buy two it costs £50. Another example, a pin badge costs £4 but you can buy three for £10. I thought this would be really simple to implement but can't seem to work out a way around it and I'm not clued up on writing formulas.Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

How to remove the v5.airtableusercontent.com when automating posting on Facebook using Make from Airtable

I made an automation to create reminders in my Google Cal. They’re all-day events, which by default don’t show you as busy, but when they’re made through Airtable they’re ticked to show as busy. I couldn’t find a field to change this in my automation. Can I make it so my all-day events made from automation don’t show as busy?

I have read a ton of guides and I cannot figure this out! I'm trying to add a button to an email automation that links to an external URL.I created a Button form field (with URL) to table data and added it to the email automation. But when I generate a preview, the button isn't there it's just the label! (See screenshots)What am I doing wrong? (Please and THANK YOU)

I'm running into race conditions some report summaries automations, and am wondering if anyone has come up with a better solution than I have in placeI have a table that is automatically updated when a user adds values from a csv report. I need to summarize that report with an automation. I have a multi-step automation that does the followingTriggers when a record enters a viewChecks to see if the date of the report is already listed in my summary table with a "Find Records" stepIf "Find Records" length is 0, it runs a few scripts to do math on the raw data enteredHowever, I've found that the automation runs for all records in the view simultaneously, rather than one at a time, so I'm running into race conditions where multiple lines are created for the same report. I know there are other solutions such as running the automation from a button click or at a scheduled time, but those are not options for me at this point. Any advice?

Is there a way to share a script between a record-create automation and a record-update automation?
