Question

Attempting to get separate image URLs from loop into same Airtable Field


Hello, 

 

I am attempting to run a zap, triggering from Airtable, which will send a prompt to Dall-e and have Dall-e return multiple image URLs, which will then be added into the record within Airtable. 

I have created a loop within the zap to send the prompt to Dall-e the desired number of times and that appears to be working as expected. However, I am only ever able to receive 1 of the image URLs into the Airtable record, as it does not appear to be appending the results of each loop being run. 

(For example, I request that the loop with the prompt be run to create 3 different images, the zap loop runs 3 times and I see different URLs in the logs, but only 1 URL is ever added to the Airtable record)

Hi ​@vmintprod 

The Zap action for Airtable Update Record will overwrite existing values.

The way you currently have the Zap steps configured means each Loop iteration will run in parallel and overwrite each other.

You need to add logic to do sequential loop iterations:

Use the loop iteration as the delay.

e.g. Loop iteration would delay for 1 minute, Loop iteration 2 would delay for 2 minutes, etc.

 

Then you need to add logic to find the record followed by updating the record, where you append to the data from the “find” step.
