Hi, I’m writing a program in Node.js using Airtable api that reads from my Airtable table and send the content to students on WhatsApp. I have a table with following columns.



Name | Number | Unit 1 Text | Unit 1 File | Unit 2 Text | Unit 2 File and so on



What I’m trying to achieve is at every NEXT button click I have to send a new unit. For eg:





Send Unit 1


Next button click


Send Unit 2


Next button click


Send Unit 3





and so on…



I need help with the method that move through columns of a particular row?



Any advice or solution is appreciated !


Thank you

Hi @RSk


base.getTable() will return an array of fields ordered left to right.

Hi @RSk

Are you referring to Scripting, the REST API, or the Metadata API?



If you are referring to Scripting, I think you mean table.fields. However, it sounds like RSk is using the REST API, and you cannot get a list of fields that is guaranteed to be complete from the REST API.



In any case, the array of fields is not necessarily in the order that appears in a particular view. I believe that the order is the order in which the fields were created, and they could have been re-arranged since then, as different views can show different fields in different orders.
