I’ve got a pretty cool thing working, as a result of Airtable’s handy tutorial. In a Slack channel about video games at work, you can type “/gamerec,” followed by either the platform (Switch) or person recommending (Tim), it searches our collaborative Airtable spreadseheet of game recommendations, and then it kicks back 3 of those results to you, inside the Slack channel, all nice and pre-formatted. Yay!
But I want to make it better. I want you to get 3 random results from that search, so that it’s a bit more of a roulette wheel. If Tim has recommended 25 games, you shouldn’t get the same 3 games all the time.
Is there any way to alter the app so that the records returned are random? If not through Airtable’s API, do I have to do that within JavaScript, in the Node.js via Glitch app? Appreciate any help y’all can swing.
