Hey there! I am a true beginner to automations and coding in general. I’m hoping this community can help me with this.
Applications: Airtable (Pro plan), Google Cal, Gmail (if needed: Zapier, Integromat)
I have a team of multiple people who are assigned to certain events. They are in a multiple select Field “Onsite Team” with options like: Judy (lead), Judy (asst), Ben (lead), Ben (asst), etc… where each person can be 1 of 2 roles and we have at least 2 ppl assigned for an event. Ex) EVENT X has Judy (lead) and Ben (asst).
What I want to automate:
What I’ve tried:
I’ve started using the Airtable automations feature but I haven’t been able to update events, just create them. I’ve also read multiple info docs, mostly on formulas, but it’s all Greek to me and I need a bit more help/explanation.
Thank you!

Welcome to the community, @SarBet!
There is no way to accomplish #3 using Airtable’s native automations.
You would need to either write your own custom Javascripts to handle that, or use an external automation tool.
You also couldn’t do a “Find Records” without writing a script (or external automation) as well, although you could potentially trigger #1 in a different way.
You mentioned both Zapier and my personal favorite automation tool Integromat — I would advise against using Zapier because it is more expensive but less powerful & less customizable than Integromat.
What you want to do would likely take several hours to setup — If you have a budget for your project and you’d like to hire an expert Airtable consultant & Integromat Expert+ Partner to help you create this, please feel free to contact me through my website:
