Hi Community,

 

I’d like to do the following: 

  1. A lead is received in an external tool (Heyflow) and sent to Zapier
  2. The data stored in a table
  3. An ascending file number is generated for each lead (e.g. “AZ_DL_ANUMBER]”. 

How can I do that?

 

Cheers and Thanks a ton!

Hi @ssielmann 

Good question.

One approach would be to use Airtable to log the data.

Airtable has these field types:


 

Thanks 🙂 Can I do this without using Airtable? 

 

This approach is where I am right now: 

  1. Create an own table with only a count
  2. Increment this number each time a value is added to the list of cases 


…this works so far. 

Now I want to use this number to create the file number: AZ_DL_DNUMBER]

 

The only thing that I would need to do is extract this newly updated number from the helper table and put it into the case table. But - this I don’t manage to do. 🤔


Achieved it - could just use the “Update Record” feature. 


That’s great news @ssielmann! Glad to hear you were able to get it sorted!
