Problem with the automation

[cnc2611032]

I've set automation to create record which get value from a field when a value is entered to that field (use trigger type "when record matches condition"). But the automation is real-time triggered when the typing has not finished yet, so the getted value is incomplete. For example, enter "300" but only get "3". How do I fix it please? Thank you a lot.

Unfortunately, as you’ve discovered, Airtable won’t wait until you exit the text field to trigger the automation.

So you’ll need to trigger your automation differently — such as adding in a checkbox field or a single-select field — as part of the trigger conditions.

There is a good discussion on this topic here:

p.s. For more advanced automations where you might be using Make’s advanced Airtable automations, you’ll want to use a similar trigger, but then send a webhook to Make using a script. I discuss that in this thread: https://air.tableforums.com/t/sending-airtable-data-to-an-external-webhook-such-as-make-com/159

Thank you for the timely and helpful reply. I'll try to change the condition to trigger.
