Not sure if this is a air-table or zaiper question hopefully someone can explain to me. 

This is what im trying to do:

  1. Uploaded video To frame.io where the name of the video is the same as a Unique ID in airtable ( called Asset ID ) in Airtable 
  2. search for a field ( Video Edit ) 
  3. Input text or link  to inform that video has been uploaded 

I have tried to find the record using a search function and my zap looks ok but when i run it it does not update to the correct field.

 

when i test the last part of my zap ( input text ) it will only place it in the first record and not the one attaching the unique ID 

 

i have tried the following SEARCH functions also FIND 

SEARCH(({Asset ID}))!={Edit}

SEARCH(({Asset ID})) = {Edit}

 

not sure if it is that or when i go to set up my action in the RECORD section i am picking the wrong dropdown.

 

i thought it may be “custom” “zap search was found” but didnt work , and i have also tried multiple other options 

 

any input would be great :) 

 

Happy Holidays

Hi @Rlaurence83 

Good question.

Please post detailed screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured in order for us to have context.

Please also post screenshots from Airtable for the related fields.

Thanks for the reply Troy appreciate it :) . See attached screen shots from both Airtable & Zaiper.

@Rlaurence83

The Search formula is not correct as there are no mapped variables from the Zap trigger step.

Make sure to review the help article in the field description: https://support.airtable.com/docs/using-zapier-s-multi-step-zaps-to-find-and-update-records

 

In step 3, you need to map the Record ID from step 2.
