Hi all,

I try to run this script :

"when a button is clicked in an interface this script is running. It's pointing to another automation triggered by this webhooks to create a new record in a table.

 

 

const URL_AIRTABLE_WEBHOOK = 'https://hooks.airtable.com/workflows/v1/genericWebhook/XXXXXXXXXX/YYYYYYYYYYY/ZZZZZZZZZZZ' let config = input.config() let response = await fetch(URL_AIRTABLE_WEBHOOK, { method: 'POST', body: JSON.stringify({'dossier_record_id':config.dossier_record_id}), headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', }, }); console.log(await response.json());

 

 

But It returns :

ERROR

There was an unexpected error while executing your script.

I'm tired and I don't see my error... After all I want is to create a new record in a table when a button is clicked... is there another to do that ?

Thanks !

I think the script is fine.
Is your input.config set up correctly?

And does it need to be a webhook to create a record with a button?
Do you create the record in an external Airtable? Normally a webhook is created with "Create record".

You're not authenticating the API call. Try this

//schema.bases:write scope required in https://airtable.com/create/tokens let TOKEN = 'YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN' try { let response = await fetch(API_URL, { method: 'POST', body: JSON.stringify({ dossier_record_id: config.dossier_record_id }), headers: { 'Content-type': 'application/json', Authorization: `Bearer ${TOKEN}`, }, }); console.log(await response.json()); } catch (err) { console.log(err); }

 Also, if you're trying to activate an Airtable automation from an interface button, Airtable has a built in trigger for this.

Did I need to process an access token for Webhook?
In my environment, it works fine without an access token.

In fact, it was Airtable the problem... the server was down....

Wow, seems like an AWS problem😂
