New to the community and to Airtable automations 

After hitting a brick wall all morning - linking the records of '⭐️ Associates'  and '🤝 Clients'  so they update each other when 'Associate' and 'Client' are added to the same row of a field in 'Project ▸ TRACKING'I now realise I have a new issue, automatically deleting records!

i.e. when I delete Client X from Helen the fields remain linked.

The current automation

  • when Associate, and Client are not empty
  • update Associate table ⬇️ 

  note: to make Record ID be valid I had to select Associate/Edit Token/and select ID 🤷‍♂

Now, how do I go about reversing the process? Or is there simple version to this as I build out more relationships between tables with will become more and more complex 😅

In advance thank you 😇

Currently the only way to delete a record in a native Airtable automation is using a script. There are various free scripts that you can find if you search on this forum.
