I'm using an Automation to create records for Parent Contract data to be pumped out of Airtable using Zapier. Tables with source data:
- Family Registrations - contains parent data (names, addresses, etc.)
- Enrolled Students - student data, including lookup to Classes in which students are enrolled
- Contracts - data for Zapier to access when creating a contract (sending to DocuSign).
Relationships:
- Each Family has one or more Enrolled Students.
- Each Enrolled Student has one or more Classes
- Each Family gets one contract with all student enrollment data, including classes
I have an automation successfully running for cases where the family has 1 student enrolled in 1 class - the family, student and class data is successfully written into the Contracts table. I use Find Records to generate a list of Classes - when the Length = 1 all's good. Trying to figure out how to handle multiple classes per student (Length > 1), and eventually multiple students per family (each of who may have > 1 class). The Contracts table has separate fields for all data up to 4 classes (e.g., class name, teacher name, tuition, etc.) and so the list data needs to be written to the correct field (e.g., List item #1 goes to the set of fields labeled Class1; List item #2 goes to the set of fields labeled Class2, etc.)
There is no Automation Action for Parse Data, so I guess the solution is to use a Script (which I'm not really familiar with, but could pick up quickly) - OR to use Zaper to parse the data and update the record back in Airtable - which I'd rather not do and keep all data manipulation within Airtable - but not a requirement.
Can anyone help? Thanks.
