Automations

I am trying to assign 4 different users records as the come in.  I found this code const collaborators = [ {name: "Person 1"}, {name: "Person 2"}, {name: "Person 3"}, {name: "Person 4"} ] const chosenOne = collaborators[Math.floor(Math.random() * collaborators.length)]; output.set("collaborators", chosenOne.name) My problem is that it doesn't exhaust the 4 names before repeating.  What do I need to do to this code for it to go through all 4 options and then repeat?

Hi,I am running into issues. I am not a coder at all and I ask GPT to help me. Usually, it does a great job in writing some basic scripts and it has already created nice solutions with scripts. But this time, I am running into issues. I have a huge database and I was asking GPT to write a script to merge duplicates. When I do it one by one, it works. But as soon as I let it search the whole database, it crashes and mentions that it's taking longer than 30 seconds. I was trying to break it down into smaller views, but the problem is that it should check all the data actually, and searching records is also not an option since that's limited to 100 only. Any idea would be awesome.here is what i got from GPTOption 1// Access the table let table = base.getTable("Online Stores"); let query = await table.selectRecordsAsync(); let records = query.records; // Define a map to track duplicates let recordMap = new Map(); // Identi

Hello Airtable Community,I'm encountering an issue with an automation I've set up and would appreciate any insights or advice you can offer.Here's what I'm trying to achieve: I have an automation with two steps. The first step is a "Create Record" action, where a new record is added to a table. The second step is a script that should modify a field in the newly created record.The problem: In the script part of the automation, I'm trying to access the ID of the record created in the first step. However, when I run the script, the variable that should hold the record ID (createdRecordId) is coming up as undefined.Details of my setup:The "Create Record" action seems to work fine, as a new record is indeed created.In the script, I'm using input.config() to access the record ID, like this: let inputCon

Hello! I am trying to automate the following process: when a file is uploaded to a specific Dropbox folder, a new record is created in Airtable with the file attached.

Hello community,I am trying to automate the following problem:I have a stock table "Stock" and a catalogue of products "Catalogue". Not all products from the Catalogue are listed in the Stock and the Stock changes on a regular basis. The availability of products from the catalogue is linked via "Link to another record" field to the stock the value used for this is the "articlenumber" So when the stock changes (e.g. we have a new product) I need to manually select the article number in the linked field for the new product.So I created an automation that runs daily at 8:00 am and runs a script that is supposed to copy values from field "Articlenumber" to field "Articlenumber-linked" in the catalogue if a record with this article number is found in the stock. This is my script:  // Get the current tableconst currentTable = base.getTable

I have a field defined as Currency however when I add that field to the Message section of an email that I am creating from an Automation, the value does not appear as Currency. It does have the decimal point for the cents, and I can easily add “$” as part of the preceding text, but I would really like to see the commas that are part of the defined format on the field. Any ideas?

Hi EveryoneI have been trying to link my airtable base with Make.com via a webhook that then uses a 'get a record' module to view what has gone into the base and can change the fields via chatGPT and place it back into airtable with the 'update a record' module. The webhook is working fine and both of the airtable modules can find my base. my problem is that when I try to run once on make.com the process stops at this 'get a record' module and gives the fault code:BundleValidationErrorValidation failed for 1 parameter(s).Missing value of required parameter 'id'.My current assumption is that it is to do with the 'recordID' variable within airtable and I have tried looking into a lot of other possibilities but I have hit a wall now and don't know what else there is that I can try to change to make it work as it is intended. Any help is greatly appreciated.This is the code that I have used in the Automations section:

Hi, Is there a way for me to automate the following:1. a team member is @mentioned2. The @mention would automatically be placed into the "Mentions/Comments" TableThe reason I am trying to do this, is because I am trying to build an interface/dashboard for each team member where they will see their daily calendar; tasks assigned to them and any comments in which they were @mentioned. Hope this makes sense.

There are a few options to fill in external forms by filling them with the data coming from Airtable. I mentioned earlier Selenium https://www.selenium.dev/ but it has a high learning curve and working with code.There is another more user friendly app Katalon based on Selenium https://katalon.com/ , but still requires working with code and this requires manual loading of CSV.There is Axiom https://axiom.ai/ which is quite good but pricing is quite high to get Make or Zapier integration, although the lower tear works with Google Sheets.And then there is https://browserflow.app/ which works via Google Sheets The main issue I have is how

I saw elsewhere that Airtable-limited markdown is available for Automations (possibly only for emails? - not clear), but I can’t seem to get the markdown to work for Slack message automations. :loudspeaker: : The Accounting base in :airtable: has been updated by  [Record (Step 1: Trigger) | Field values | By | Name] with the following release notes: ‏‎[Record (Step 1: Trigger) | Field values | Description ] So that the message in Slack looks like this: :loudspeaker: : The Accounting base in :airtable: has been updated by frozenforum with the following release notes: Created a new Client Companies table Converted Client Company field to be a link to Clie

I am using an automation that uses a script to append a record to another table's linked field. My code is shown below.This is not working however, as the record.getCellValue('Worksheet: BOM") is returning an array that has the format ("string") instead of the format (id: "String"). Is there any way to fix this?This is my error message:No overload matches this call.The last overload gave the following error.Property 'id' is missing in type 'readonly { id: string; name: string; }[]' but required in type '{ id: string; }'.(2769)env.22.d.ts(5964, 43): 'id' is declared here.env.22.d.ts(5959, 5): The last overload is declared here.

Hello Airtable Community,I’m currently working on improving our Airtable system and could use your expertise. We have a setup where participants sign up for trips, and upon signup, we need to automatically generate a billing record. Here's the challenge I hope you can help me solve:We have a "Trips" table with trips that participants can sign up for, and a "Participants" table with a list of individuals who may sign up for multiple trips over time. When a participant signs up for a trip, we need to:Identify the most recent participant who signed up for a trip.Create a record in a "Billing" table that links the participant, the trip, and the cost associated with that trip to generate a bill.The main obstacle is that the participants are existing records, and their signups do not create a new participant record; they're simply linked to another trip. Here’s what we’re aiming for:A fully automated process: From the moment a pa

Hey all I've created an automation where when a form is submitted - a record is updated. However! Sometimes there isn't a record to update, so it needs to be created first. So I need to create a process like this:WHEN a form is submitted AND record exists UPDATE it. IF record doesn't exist CREATE itBut the automation is getting stuck on the first part and fails to run into the second. I've taken a screen shot to show what I mean. How can I fix this?Thanks!

All members on this Base are part of this Workspace as creators.I want to assign a record to a member of my team based off another field's data.
