Using Airtable form inputs to generate payment records. I’m encountering errors with async property calls. Below is a revised code sample:
let totalEntries = input.getNumericValue('Total Payments');
let startDate = input.getDateValue('First Payment Date');
let amountValue = input.getNumericValue('Payment Amount');
for (let count = 0; count < totalEntries; count++) {
recordCreator(count + 1, startDate, amountValue);
}
hey, try using await with recordCreator inside the loop, i had similar issues. the async handling was off sometimes. let me know if that fixes it tho
Based on my experience, I’ve noticed that handling asynchronous operations in Airtable scripts can be tricky. I faced similar issues when trying to create multiple payment records in a loop. I ended up refactoring my code so that the recordCreator function was explicitly an async function returning a promise. Using await in front of recordCreator within the loop helped maintain proper sequence and avoid race conditions. It’s also important to verify that all inputs are correctly formatted when passed to the function, which saved me quite a bit of debugging time.
hey, try wrapping recordCreator in a try-catch to catch any misue of input errors. i noticed even a small format diff can mess awiat and break the chain. checking your inputs might just fix it!
In my experience, resolving asynchronous issues with Airtable scripts required ensuring that each call to recordCreator was processed sequentially. I adjusted my approach by confirming that the function returned a promise and then using await to maintain the proper order when creating records, which prevented overlap and race conditions. In addition, verifying the consistency and format of all input values before executing the function helped mitigate errors. This methodical strategy improved the stability of my script significantly during bulk record creation.
My approach was to initially wrap the loop body inside an asynchronous function to ensure that each record creation gets properly handled. I found that adding logging statements before and after each await call helped trace which part of the loop was failing. I also noticed that slight differences in the input types, particularly with dates and numbers, can sometimes cause unexpected errors. By isolating these variables and confirming their formatting early on, I was able to systematically identify the issues in my script. This process saved considerable debugging time and ensured each payment record was created without error.
