I know that prior experience in particular tools means less than your ability to learn them quickly, so this is mostly to give you an idea of the work. * NOT Mailchimp, if I have anything to say about it □ Here are some common tools my clients use: Experience with either n8n or a high level of comfort with Javascript is a must, since many of my tasks now involve n8n. The ideal teammate will be skilled in a wide variety of no-code and automation tools and able to learn new ones very quickly. I need someone new on my team Datos Operations! I can't believe how quickly this happened but. Make some room in your schedule, and watch yourself start to love work again. Created content that led to new client opportunities Created SOPs that allowed me to delegate work in the future Found out you can examine network requests on web apps you use to find hidden API methods which can be used to automate stuff you wouldn't think possible (I used this to save hours of manual clicking) Automated a daily email using an API output that used to be batched manually a few days ahead of time Created a script that helped another department in the company with the way they developed email opt-in forms Here are some examples of what down time has done for me: Too much of either will cause problems.īut companies/people that are always describing their workload as "slammed", "crazy", and "ugh" won't ever find the time to automate the processes causing their misery. It's important to have a balance of short-term, keep-the-lights-on work and long-term or exploratory work. It looks like always choosing to compromise the long-term for short-term achievements. "We set a big hairy audacious goal, and it's YOUR job to make it happen!" "Hey, can we add a couple email sends this weekend? We're just short of goal"Īt service-based companies, it looks like spending all your time on client work and none on improving things internally.Īt software companies, it looks like allocating all dev resources to building the software, and none for internal teams who need better tools. Slamming one more cup of coffee to see if you can tweak hard enough to finish an extra 2 tasks today. Internal pressure looks like packing your to-do list with 15 items per day, completing 7 of them, and rescheduling all the rest to the next day, rinse and repeat. I've experienced both types of pressure, and I can tell you that they are both equally great at killing the joy you take in your work and making sure that work never gets better. This pressure can be inflicted by the company or by yourself. The higher pressure your work environment is, the less likely you'll spend time trying to figure something new out-even if it would benefit the company in the long run. The result is very tangible: you rarely have breakthroughs, and you never build systems to make work better. When you're working through an endless list of high priority tasks, you don't have time for innovation, exploration, and creativity. It's easy to miss, but a packed work schedule = stagnation. Thank you in advance for any ideas - I'm stumped.Some of the best moments of my career only happened because I wasn't in a rush. I use the Find Record in Airtable action to first seek for existing records in Airtable and, if none, create a new record.įor these reasons, I suspect the issue lies with Airtable. Zap History shows success every single time. In building the zap in Zapier, the appropriate Base, Table, and fields in Airtable are available to select. In Zapier, I have not reached my task or zap limits, so that's not the issue. I have paid subscriptions to both platforms.
Also, I've confirmed that Zapier is "on" as a third-party app in Airtable Integrations. I know this because I have another zap that works well with no issues to send the same source data to a different Airtable table in the same base. I've been troubleshooting without success, so seeks suggestions here. While Zapier indicates success sending data to Airtable, no data shows up in Airtable base and table. I've created seemingly simple Zapier automations (zap) to bring subscription data into Airtable by creating/updating records in a Base table. Hi everyone (reposting to correct category)
