Automations

Hi Everyone,I have two automations that I need to combine into one. Is there anyway to merge the two or move pieces from one to the other without having to rebuild the content? I would have set it up as one automation to start with, but I was new at this and didn't see how to do so at the time. We're bumping up against automation limits, so it's important to combine them.Since they both trigger the sending of emails with a lot of inserted fields, it's a hassle to do it manually as even if I copy and paste, I have to manually re-insert the custom fields.  I tried searching but only got results related to automations that merge records, not anything about merging the automations themselves. Thanks for any insights you can provide! Regards,Anne

Hi all,I'm creating an automation to retrieve data from an endpoint then update a record in Airtable.The api call works, the data is formatted into a string, and correctly passed into the `updateRecord` function.However I'm getting the following error when testing the automation:Error: Request parameters failed validation.Here is the code:  let inputConfig = input.config(); let table = base.getTable('Orders'); let record = inputConfig.recordId; fetch(`https://api.myEndpoint/${record}`, { method: "GET", withCredentials: true, headers: { "Authorization": inputConfig.apiKey, "Content-Type": "application/json" } }).then((response) => { return response.json().then((data) => { updateRecord(data) return data }) }) const updateRecord = async (data) => { let status = data.status await tabl

I have tried to build an automation from instantly to Airtable. I want to make dashboards for campaign data. My problem is:I want the fields in the (Data_Handling) table to update automatically, when data is updated via an API in the Instantly combined table. I have created the record IDs because i thought it would make it like working in excel in a way. But i vant seem to figure out why i cant make the update record function work in the automation. I have attached pictures. Let me know if someone can help solve my problem, and if you need additional information 🙂 Best;Christian

Hi Everyone! On the screenshot, a colleague (who left the company) was able to set up a notif that shows:Number of records updated View of the records updatedBefore leaving, she said it was done via Airtable Automations. Until now, I can't figure it out. Was anyone else successful at doing it? 

Hi,I am trying to create an automation where:If "Adviser 1 ranking" column has been updated as "Outstanding", then the "Adviser 1 rating" column will automatically have 5 stars appearing. Same goes to any update on "Adviser 2 Ranking" will update the "Adviser 2 rating", "Adviser 3 Ranking" with "Adviser 3 rating". In all 3 single select Adviser ranking fields, I have "Outstanding" (i.e. 5 stars), "Very good" (i.e., 4), "Good" (i.e.,3), "Poor" (i.e.,2), "Try Again" (i.e.,1).Could anyone please help out?Thanks! 🙂

Hello everybody,I'm trying to automate sending an individualized email to people in my database who match criteria.ex :trigger when creating a new record (announcement with location A criteria, type of mission 1),I ask this airtable in the face of the action to find records corresponding to the criteria: location 1 and mission 1 (people)then I ask him to send an e-mail and there I get an error message that I can't fix"Invalid email address in the "bcc" field: <span style="display:inline-block;height:1px;width:100%;background-color:#999"> </span><br/><span style ="display:inline-block;height:1px;width:100%;background-color:#999"> </span><br/><span style="display:inline-block;height:1px;width: 100%;background-color:#999"> </span> "Has this ever happened to anyone can you help me?

Hello,I would like to achieve the following.My trigger is "When record is created" and I would like to send a message to my Slack channel once a new record is recorded in my Airtable base. I’m tracking three variables for example Category, Price, Date. I want to be able to see the specific amount of times a specific category was created, for example, if G99 appeared in the Airtable base it would count 1, if G88 appeared it would count 1, if G99 appeared it would now count 2 and so on. However, I want the count to reset daily meaning everything would return to 0 after a 24h period.  I want the Slack display message to look something like this…“A sale was madeCategory: G99Price: 999.00Date: 9/19/2023Sales for current category: XX (with dynamically updating count)” Is it possible to configure a dynamically updating channel message to Slack? I’m also not sure if it’s entirely possible to have dy

Recently, we found that Date field has "Time Zone" option. Therefore, we set the time zone as "Asia/Seoul" of the date field and we got rid of another converted time field since it is not necessary any more. However, the problem occurs when we send an automated email using this date field. In the Airtable field, we put this value: 2023-01-10 10:00 KSTWhen we send an automation, the mail shows this: 2023-01-10 01:00 UTCDo we need to make another field which has the converted time to show correct time in Automation, or is there a way to show a correct time in Automation with the specified time zone in the field?

Context:I've encountered an issue in Airtable where an automation I've set up to group records in one table within a linked field of another table works correctly for records with unique primary field values (the leftmost field). However, for records with the same primary field value, it only groups and links the most recent record while unlinking the preexisting records with the same value. This poses a problem for what I'm trying to achieve.Goal:My goal is for the automation to link all records in one table to the field in other table, as long as they meet the conditions of my automation, regardless of whether or not their primary field value is the same.Path:Triggers:- When an updated cell is detected in Table 1, the following actions occur:Action 1:- It creates a new record in Table 2.- This record contains two fields:- One for the updated cell's value (placed as

Here it goes...I have an email campaign table that I import email lists to from various led gen.I have a client intake table that I use to track when a client submits a proposal request and eventual becomes a client.Email is the unique client identifier across all tables.I need to search my client intake table to see if any of the 'email' field matches an 'email' in my campaign table.If it does I need to grab the 'status' from the client intake table and update the 'status' on my email campaign table.The reason I do not want to link the tables is I have a ton of records that do not need to be brought over from one table to the other. I just need to know if a client engages or status changes after I email them.

Hello everyone!I was curious about how I can go about autopopulating another table when a single select drop down item is selected. For example, I own a roofing company. My tables go from CLIENT to PROPOSALS to JOBS. Client is initial meeting (phone, e-mail, in-person etc.). Proposals are to create then send to said Client. And Jobs is after a job is won.What I would like to do is in my OPPORTUNITY column, when I choose CONTRACT SIGNED in the drop down menu, I would like it to autopopulate my JOBS table. Any help is appreciated!

Hello!  I've been working with Airtable for a year and have built lots of automations and formulas. I'm stuck though and hope someone can point me in the right direction! I've got a base with Table A and Table B. Table A is a list of todos which are linked to clients who are listed in Table B, so each client has multiple todos linked.Table B also has drop-down list of all of the stages that the client goes through.Table B's primary field is their unique client number. Table A therefore has a linked field with that identical number in it. Table A also has another field with the same unique client number.I am trying to write an automation which will do this:- When a record in Table A is marked "done" (or other trigger depending on the type of todo)- The drop down for that client in Table B is updated. This seems like it should be simple...- Create the trigger in Table A's Todo recor

Hello,tldr: does anyone know if there is an article which defines the meaning of all the tokens available for automations? If I had a clearer idea I don't think I would have the following problem.Can anyone give advice on the following please?I have two tables with a many:many relationship (Materials and Storage Locations). I have a third table to document individual relationships between Materials and Storage Locations i.e. material x is stored in 2 different locations and I need to display the info of the quantity of material x in each location.I have an automation which is successful and creates a record in the Table 3. However, if the material is already stored in one location and I need to record that it is now also stored in an

I am using the following script for when a new record is added that will provide a running total. // Hard-coded table and view nameslet tableName = 'Invoices'; let viewName = 'Grid view'; let table = base.getTable(tableName);let view = table.getView(viewName);let result = await view.selectRecordsAsync({ fields: ['Amount'] });let runningTotal = 0;for (let record of result.records) {// Hard-coded field nameslet amount = record.getCellValue('Amount');runningTotal += amount;// Hard-coded field name for updating the recordawait table.updateRecordAsync(record, {'Running Total': runningTotal,});}Runs well and little too well. 😂When I add a record it runs the script before I'm able to add the amount and a new blank must be added for the correct calculation to appear. Is there some sort of delay that I could add or am I taking the wrong approach?

I have an automation that was working.  I turned it off once so it wouldn't trigger an email I didn't want to go out.  When I turned it back on (a minute later), it refreshes and turns back off.  There is a error sign next to the name of the automation, but when I test it or run the automation manually, everything works fine.  Any ideas?  

Has anyone found a solution to have a junction table automatically updated, when new records are created or existing ones deleted? I love the Junction App that is supported by Airtable, but need a solution that triggers it to run. And from what I understand there’s no way to run an app through an automation. So I tried to take the script used in the App and use it in an automation, but can’t get it to work. I’d even hire a programmer to do this, but when I tried to find someone on Fiverr they knew less than I did about scripting … LOL.

First: Is what I am attempting to do possible without custom implementation?Action attempted: To automate sending out calendar invitations to an event after a participant registers using an Airtable form. Issue: When I try to build the automation, I get stuck on the portion that asks me to select the Outlook Event ID. I assume this refers to the actual event on the Outlook Calendar, but when I try to scroll through the options, nothing shows up but existing Airtable fields. Screenshot attached. Am I missing something here?Thanks for any help in advance.

For context, I am building an email automation that is sent every work day (Monday-Friday). The email would display any of the task records that are due on that particular day that the email is sent out. My problem is that Airtable's scheduling timing trigger is limited to posting every single day. I would not like to send out an email on the weekend.I cannot use "When a record is updated" as a trigger as it would send an email for every single task record that is due today, whereas I am trying to send only one email a day. I would appreciate any suggestions, thanks!

Hello, I am making a special CRM. I have customer information (name, phone, address…) and with this information, I would like to fill a google doc (there are variables like {{name}} and they have to be replaced with airtable data ). I am used to javascript but I am a beginner in the API world. I have already tried that: I don’t know how I can tell my script to only use the data from the row where my checkbox is checked (and how to tell Airtable to run my google App script when the checkbox is checked. I wanted to try the Google web app and use webhook but I don’t know if airtable can send webhook or if I have to add it a special code). I would like to

I have some base level automations and table links created, but I am now experiencing difficulty creating further links.Three main tables: StudentsClass ListClass PriceCurrent links: Students to Class Lists. Class Lists table has hours per class. Based on classes students are put in (in Class Lists), it changes their total hours (in Students). On Students table there is a Roll Up that calculates total hours students are in based upon their Class List. Class Price table is connected (vaguely) to Students table, but establishing the correct link to make things

I am trying to build a workflow for email verification for members when they join my database.  The idea that when they complete the signup form it triggers an "email verification" email with a hyperlink. When the new member clicks on the hyperlink it (1) triggers an automation confirming email verification and registering that on the database and (2) send the user to a confirmation page.So I am wondering if there is a way to create a hyperlink that triggers an action/automation in Airtable.  Any help appreciated. 

I have an automation that when a certain field is met, a google calendar event is created spanning a week. The issue that I am running into is that the event is showing up as "busy" in my google calendar, which is preventing calls from getting booked into my calendar for the duration of that week. Is there a way to ensure that the status is set to "free" in the automation when creating this event?

I want to check Checking HTTP Status Code everyday in automation, how can I do that?
