Hello, I am trying to debug why a certain script I wrote for automations failed because it takes more than the allowed 30 seconds. It seems that Airtable JavaScript environment doesn't support parallel execution of asynchronous tasks. Is that correct ? What can I don if I want to perform this kind of code: await Promise.all([ updateRemoteDB(), updateRemoteDB() ])
So just update each remote DB in it's own script step. when I wrote about 'output.set', I supposed you are querying some data from Airtable in the script, like let query=await selectRecordAsync... since script variables (like 'query') will be inavailable in other steps, to avoid querying many times, you can pass your data as output variable
Hi, Once I tried to make a script with complex evaluation that continues to run while program awaiting for some user input and finally I had to refactor it, as it seems like Airtable has some limitations with asynchronous threads. On your place, I would break the task into several steps. You can pass json-stringified data with 'output.set'
Indeed sounds like an Airtable limitation. Can you please elaborate on your suggestion on breaking it down to tasks, using output.set? I am not sure I understand what do you mean.
