2 Ways to Update a Record or Linked Record Using Airtable Automation

[@katiepeters2389]

Is it still possible to do this? To update a linked record B in Table B via a trigger on linked record A in table A? I cannot follow what you're demoing on this video because airtable doesn't look like this anymore.

Great video! My question is that if someone filled out a non airtable form. How do we send data to a "linked" field? I'm trying to feed the data via "Integromat", but it's not accepting the format. Let me know if you have a video for that or if you have a solution. Thank you in advance!! Can this be done via Airtable's automation? or can I just feed the data in a specific format via Integromat?

Hey Alex, when using external tools like Zapier or Integromat, you typically have to use a find/create action to find the linked record before linking it. External APIs won't let you use the name in the primary field of the linked record from my experience
