Automation - Create Record to run a script

[Just_go]

Hi all,

Having a bit of issue with setting up an Automation. I was wondering if someone could help me?

When a new record enters “Tab B”, I want it to link to “Tab A” if the ‘Vehicle Registration’ matches.

“Tab A” will already have all Vehicle Registrations listed, so any new records entering “Tab B” will not be random or different.

At the moment I’m having to manually click on the Linked Fields column in order to add the record from 'Tab B" to “Tab A”.

I have a feeling this might be an easy to do in JS but I’m confusing myself at the moment.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try looking at this answer to another thread:

Airtable Automation- Update Record Ask the community

Your step failed because your test passed “G5ZJCP2” as the value for the Record ID. That is not a Record ID. You need a “Run a script” action step before your “Update record” step to filter your Encryption Log records to {Serial # or Service Tag #} = "G5ZJCP2" For the script to work you’ll need a script input variable, set it up like so: “Input variable name”: tag => “Input variable value”: Record (Step 1: Trigger) ... {Serial # or Service Tag #} Then edit the script to be something like thi…

Hello, @Kamille_Parks.
Can you help with that as well?
I have a main table called Upcoming Events and I have another table called Design Services.
If any field is updated into the main table, I should update the Design Services table.

I couldn’t make using your script.

You can’t pass the record ID from Upcoming Events into PS - Design Services because that record ID only exists in Upcoming Events.

Are you using my script at all? Nothing in that screenshot indicates that you are, as you’re only pulling values from the trigger record.

Hi Kamile,
I am sorry…I am not familiar with scripting
Here is the screenshot

Your Line 1 of the script isn’t supposed to be part of the script itself. In the thread you were following I was describing how to do this with an Automation Script Action, not the Scripting App. You have given a screenshot of the Scripting App.

Correct the spelling of .selectRecordsAsync() (that’s my mistake), move the code into a “Run a script” step of an Automation, and instead of including Line 1 set up an input variable within the Run a Script action (it will be the left side of the screen when editing the code) using that format.

Hi Kamille…
Thanks a lot for your advise.
I understood now.
To run a script action I need to upgrade my airtable account.
I will ask my manager to do so.
Thank you for your help
