Hi, I’d like to delete a record when a checkbox is selected. I’ve set up the automation but have zero knowledge of scripts. What is missing here?



let table = base.getTable("Room Reservations");

let inputConfig = input.config();

let recordId = inputConfign'recordId']

await table.deleteRecordAsync(recordId);```



Thanks so much

Have you set up recordId as the input variable for the script?



Have you setup the trigger for the automation?


@kuovonne Thank you!


I set up the input variable and it worked like magic, thanks.


hi - i have this and i keep getting an error:



let table = base.getTable(“Vibe Stages”);


let inputConfig = input.config(recordId);


let recordId = inputConfign‘recordId’]


await table.deleteRecordAsync(recordId);



ReferenceError: Cannot access ‘recordId’ before initialization


at main on line 2

You have copied the script incorrectly. Look at the second line of the script.


You want …



let table = base.getTable("Vibe Stages");

let inputConfig = input.config();

let recordId = inputConfig 'recordId']

await table.deleteRecordAsync(recordId);

Did you create your input variable?


Did you create your input variable?


how do i do that? i thought the record id was the variable


You have to setup the input variable in the left section of the script editor. There is a link in that section to more documentation if you need more help.


that did it! thanks!
