Updating Record Based on Python Function

[Tiberius]

How can I execute a Python function based on variables from Airtable fields and then update the record based on the function’s result?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Tiberius - have a look at this post. It has some example Python scripts for reading data from AT, then updating fields after some processing (in this case, translating text). In this example, I run the Python in a Zapier component, but, if course, it would work equally well as a Python script run from a server.

Add "any" functionality to Airtable using Zapier Webhooks

I was thinking about how to add some functionality to a base and, for the base user, how they would trigger this. In most web apps functionality will be invoked by the click of a button - save edits, delete a record and so on - but this button functionality isn’t available in Airtable. But…Zapier provides a webhook component that can be invoked to kick off a Zap. I frequently use Zaps in my bases and they are mostly triggered by the standard Airtable triggers - new record or new record in a vie…

Hope this helps.
