Hi, I have a requirement that needed to be solve by using (as if a) store procedure. I going through list of app available and didn’t find any, the closes one is scripting but I aware the script only can be run manually. I need something like scripting but can be trigger by front end.
Any suggestion will be really helpful, thanks in advance.

@Nur_Baizura Can you clarify what type of trigger in the front end you want?
Airtable can run scripts in two ways: scripting app and automation scripting actions.
With Scripting app, the script can only be run from a button: either the button in the Scripting app itself, or a button field in a table.
With Automation Scripting actions, the script is run in reaction to a trigger. The trigger can be the result of a data change made in the UI, such as changing the value of a field. An automation can also be triggered when the filter conditions for a view change. The trigger cannot be the result of most UI interaction that do not change data, such as selecting or unselecting a record or viewing a different table.
With a custom app, there are many more possibilities, including changes to the selected record or table. However, custom apps development is a major undertaking, much more complex than script writing.
Untrue. Scripts can execute based on things that happen in the UI - example - a record moves into a view.

Thank you for your further explanation,

This explained my requirement would needed more complex development.
