Automation problems in Airtable
I’m having trouble with my Airtable automations. They seem to be working fine up until the run script action. At that point they get stuck on ‘awaiting response’ and don’t move forward.
This is weird because:
- The trigger steps all complete successfully
- Nothing has changed in my automation setup
- Everything was running smoothly before this started happening
Has anyone else run into this? I’m wondering if it’s a problem on Airtable’s end or if there’s something I’m missing. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this would be super helpful!
It’s really putting a wrench in my workflow, so I’m hoping to get it sorted out soon. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
I’ve encountered similar issues with Airtable automations recently. It seems to be a recurring problem, particularly with the run script action. Have you checked your script for any potential errors or timeouts? Sometimes, minor syntax issues can cause the automation to hang. Additionally, it might be worth reviewing your API usage limits, as exceeding them can lead to unexpected behavior. If the problem persists, I’d recommend documenting the specific steps that trigger the issue and contacting Airtable support with these details. They may be able to provide more targeted assistance or confirm if there’s a known system-wide problem affecting automations.
I’ve been grappling with this exact issue for the past week, and it’s been driving me up the wall. After some trial and error, I discovered that rolling back to an older version of my script temporarily fixed the problem. It seems Airtable might have made some changes that are causing conflicts with certain script structures or functions.
One thing that helped was breaking down my script into smaller, more manageable chunks. This made it easier to pinpoint where exactly the automation was getting stuck. Also, I found that adding more detailed error logging within the script itself gave me better insights into what was going wrong.
If all else fails, you might want to consider alternative approaches to achieve the same result without relying on the run script action. It’s not ideal, but it could be a temporary workaround until Airtable sorts out whatever’s causing this hiccup.
yeah, i’ve been havin similar issues with airtable lately. my automations are actin up too, especially with the run script part. its super frustrating! have u tried clearin ur browser cache or usin a different browser? sometimes that helps. if not, might be worth reachin out to airtable support. hope u get it fixed soon!
