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

Welcome to the Airtable community!

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!
