Automations

We’re having to maintain data records in two tables, rather than one, because forms only create new records, not updates.Here’s the scenario:New Assets are created in the Assets table:ASSETSAsset NameAsset LocationModule NameAppleapple.comTruckBananabanana.comTruck; PlaneGrapegrape.comBoatThe Module Name column is Linked to the Modules table:MODULESModule NameModule LocationModule TypeTruckapple.comCourseBoatbanana.comCoursePlanegrape.comVideoThere’s no problem creating the Assets records, either through a form, or directly in the tables, by those of us with those permissions.(Note that the Banana asset is associated with two Modules: Truck and Plane.)When we want to update an Asset record, we can only do so by working directly in the table.Some team members can only update records through a form. When they do so, a new record is created, but we do not want to add more records to the Assets table since we expect each Asset record to be unique. We would prefer not to see two Apple recor

I am receiving an error when testing a twitter automation. Trigger: record is created Action 1: find a record with conditions (character count=good, status =approved) Action 2: post tweet of only that record Error on action 2 test that twitter is missing the status parameter. I got a twitter automation to work the other day using similar steps, except that it was tweeting ALL records instead of just the most recent one. (Secondary issue) Question: how do i fix the status error? I’m a beginner. Please speak beginner language. Thanks!

Hi guys. Having some issues integrating airtable with Twitter. I know there is already something set up in Airtable to post Tweets but I don’t want to be limited with the attachment file sizes that are imposed. Can anyone shed some light on why this fetch call can’t authenticate please. var myHeaders = new Headers(); myHeaders.append(“Accept”, “/”); myHeaders.append(“Connection”, “close”); myHeaders.append(“Cookie”, “guest_id=v1%3A163524415819855112; personalization_id=“v1_enOaDCeivWtb8VsMrM7chg==”; lang=en”); myHeaders.append(“User-Agent”, “OAuth gem v0.4.4”); myHeaders.append(“Content-Type”, “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”); myHeaders.append(“Authorization”, myStr); var requestOptions = { method: ‘POST’, headers: myHeaders, }; fetch(“https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json?status=Hello%20Ladies%20%2B%20Gentlemen%2C%20a%20signed%20OAuth%20request!”, requestOptions) .then(response => response.json()) .then(responseBody =>{ console.log(responseBody); }) .catch(

I would like to automate posts to Twitter so that they send out both when “Ready to Publish” (status field) and at a specific date and time (date field with time). I note that in the triggers, it allows for date but the most specific it gets is “today” and does not include the specific time. Will it still post at the correct time if the automation is running or is this not possible in Airtable yet?

Hello! Since Airtable has discontinued their native Twitter integration, I have been wrestling with trying to get a script to work within my automation that directly works with the V2 API from Twitter to post tweets within their limited free tier. Most examples on how to approach it with javascript seems to involved a couple of dependencies we can't use within the Scripting action, so I am curious if anyone has found a way to write a script that will work with the latest spec of the Twitter API V2?

Hi there,I am aware of the 100 unique email limit per day on AT, and I am trying to find a solution. Is there a limit to how many emails you can send on the SendGrid extension? I can't seem to find this info in the documentation.Thanks

I need the date to be captured when certain statuses get selected via automation. This will help me how long the particular record is been sitting on that status

Hi all! I'm hoping someone may be able to help me! I'm trying to create calendar events in our Outlook 365 calendars from an automation on our base that include links and the ability to Markdown.But, hyperlinking is not working the way it works when you're just "sending an email" through automations and neither is any of the markdowns. Is there a work around for this? Or has anyone else been able to figure it out?  

Are they any new AI automation tools that we could use in the business of real estate brokerage?Improve on pictures? Create descriptions automatically? Thank you!

 I want any record in the "Student ID" field to be copied into the linked "Student Names" field so that the student's name is pulled anytime an ID is entered. My automation works when I test it but nothing happens when I enter new records.  

I have a field of long text, and I set an automation that could help me send a notification Email to my collaborators after I update that field. However, the trigger would be fired several times, when I was still typing(no matter using when the record updated or when record matches conditions)Is there any way to make the trigger only be fired after I finish typing? (for example click else where and leave that filed)Thanks a lot!

Goal: Sync data from Google Cloud Platform with AirTable every 5 minutes.Problem: Some of the data syncs but not all the data. In other words, what is reflected in AirTable does not always match what is in Google Cloud Platform. The problem does not happen all the time which makes it difficult to troubleshoot.Any clues or links to figure out how to fix this issue are greatly appreciated. If you know of any consultants with expertise in AirTable API and synchronization with Google Cloud Platform are greatly appreciated.Thank you!

Hello ‌👋‌We are trying to publish new blog post articles from Airtable to Webflow using Make (Integromat).The table for the new articles is set up identically for the fields in the Webflow CMS collection. There are quite a few fields to map, some of which are single-select and multi-select fields. (Example below)https://ibb.co/Kyp5xQ7These single-select and multi-select fields are Webflow collections for category and topic tags used in the articles and are multi-reference fields in the Webflow CMS. The single-select and multi-select items are set up in the same base as separate tables to the articles table. The articles table uses a link to another record field to add these to the article record.https://ibb.co/Yjqvr2Dhttps://ibb.co/02Ys3x9https://ibb.co/df7dfrBWe have added the Collection ID and Item ID in each linked record table. This is not essential at this stage, but adding new items to these linked records/collections from Airtable may be necessary. We suspect this w

Is there a limit on sending a number of emails to collaborators and non-collaborators? Is see there is a 100 email limit in the Pro plan and wanted to find details for the Enterprise plan. I appreciate your help.

Hi Airtable and Airtable Community! Huge fan of your product and work. Is there a limit on the number of emails that can go out in a given period of time using the Send an email action? Thank you, Brea

Attached Screenshots. Issue 1: View - Slack-Send Tomorrow's ScheduleThis view will send tomorrows(Friday) employee schedule to a Slack channel at 7pm every night. I'd like this view to automatically change to Saturday's Schedule, on Friday Morning. Issue 2: View - Working Schedule_Current Week + View: Working Schedule_Next WeekI'd like these Views to Auto Populate as many fields as possible, except Employee Names. Main fields would be the date with start and end times. 7 Lines for Summer Camp 10am-3pm, 3 Lines for Summer Camp 8:15am-3pm, 3 Lines for Open Level Fly 4pm-6pm, ect. Then on Sunday at set time_Current Week removes last week and populates new week, then the Next Week Schedule View pulls in. Appreciate the help!   

I'm generating HTML emails and sending them using the Gmail automation.  They work great, except when a user puts a return character in the form used to generate the email (i.e. hits return on the keyboard inside the field (type=long text, rich text NOT enabled).  When there's a return character, even though the HTML looks solid, and is passed directly to the gmail automation, when the email is received on the client, where the return character was a bunch of closed HTML tags are inserted ( </p> </td></table> </div> etc) which totally breaks the HTML code and makes the rendering awful.Anyone else dealt with this?

Hi there, I have an email automation that is set to send an email 1 day prior to an appointment date. The date conditions are simply based off of date, not time. Do you know what time the email should expect to trigger?Thanks!

Hi. I'm wondering whether there's a way to search a table or interface using text that's passed through in the URL itself. Like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=test which searches Google for "test." I think no because the search uses Javascript, but maybe there's a way that I'm overlooking. Bonus question: What's your preferred method for quickly getting to a table or interface and drilling to a specific record quickly? Thanks,David  

Hello guys,I have created an automation that is being executed when a new record is created, what I wanna do is to get that specific new record in the script, the last one, how can I do that? 

Several of my automations send emails, inevitably I get some bad email addresses and will get a notification in AirTable of a bad email address. Is there a way to incorporate these notification into my automations to alert the person entering information of the bad email?My use case:Hosts are entering Guest information, I want to send an email to the Host that they entered a bad email address automatically.Thanks,Tommy 

Hello,Could someone please help point me in the right direction?I have an automation which is triggered by clicking a button in an interface. I want the automation to send an email (containing a grid summary of some records) and then update the status of the same records to indicate that those records were sent in the email.However, the updating of the record status is not working.This is how the non-functioning step is configured.Once the email is sent, I need the status to change from 'required' to 'ordered'.This is how the conditional logic is configured.This is the error message. I have gone through the 'how to fix common issues' steps.The ultimate goal is prevent someone from placing an order twice and confusing our suppliers so any method to prevent the same records from be emailed more than once would be great.Thanks in advance! 

Hello,I have set up a zapier automation that, when an email in my gmail gets a particular label, will create a record in Airtable. Zapier will pass along the "to" email address(es) into one of the fields.  If there are multiple recipients on the email, the info is passed along as email1@test.com,email2@test.com with a comma separating the addresses. Here is my issue -- is there any way for me to set up an Airtable automation that will read those as two separate emails and then link this record with two contact records I have in Airtable?  I can make the Airtable automation work if the email was sent to a single recipient, but it cannot seem to recognize the comma as a separator in order to match/link multiple email addresses with multiple contacts.Thanks for any suggestionsAlex
