Hello Community!

I have run into a perplexing issue when trying to automate attachment field updates or use script extensions to convert a url to an image asset.

In my automation script I follow these steps:

- make call to external api to get order data

- pass that data to a function

- the function preps the data and creates an object that holds the table field names as keys and the response data as values.

 

 

// values come from parsing the api response data and assigning that data to variables // ex. let recordName = data.name let myObj = { "Order #": recordName, "Part Name": part_name, "Order QTY": quantity, "Image Url": image, "Image": [{url: image}], }

 

 

 
- The object is then passed as an argument to createRecordAsync():

 

table.createRecordAsync(myObj)​


All the values populate correctly except for the image. I get a placeholder image and when I click into it, it displays a broken image link icon.





 

 

If I hard code a url in the automation script everything works as expected. 

If I manually click "add attachment" in the Image field then copy and paste in the value of the Image Url field as a Link(url) everything also works as expected. 

What am I missing?

Please let me know if you need more details
Thanks in advance.

 

Hi @mcordier ,

Is there an "await" for asynchronous processing as follows?

let recordId = await table.createRecordAsync({ "Date": "Hello world!", });

Hi Sho,

Yes, the createRecordAsync has the "await" keyword in front of it. It's wrapped in a try/catch. I'm passing the object that was created from the external api response 

... let myObj = { "Order #": recordName, "Part Name": part_name, "Order QTY": quantity, "Image Url": image, "Image": [{url: image}], } try { await table.createRecordAsync(myObj) } catch (error) { console.error("CREATE RECORD ERROR: ", error); }
