Hi,

We're currently using the "Scripting" extension on our Airtable base and we have several different scripts that need to be run on occasion. From what I can see, the "Scripting" extension is just a panel where you write or copy/paste scripts.

My question would be: is there a way to save/store your custom scripts somewhere in Airtable? (maybe by using a different extension) - as opposed to saving them locally or somewhere else.

 

Thank you,

Cris

In addition to writing scripts in Scripting Extension, you can run scripts from Scripting Extension. The other place where you can run scripts is in a Scripting action in an automation.

A script is just plain text. You could store them in a long text field if you wanted, but you could not run a script from a long text field.

For simple scripts, I save them only where they are run -- either in Scripting Extension or the Automation Scripting Action. For more complex scripts, I manually copy/paste to a git repository.

If you want to see the history of different versions of an automation script, the automation history now shows revision history.
