Welcome to Learn Airtable scripting a 4 part series where you'll learn the basics of writing scripting in Airtable.

In part 3, Gio continues teaching us (and me!) the basics of how to write scripts in Airtable. In this session, we take the scripts we wrote in the 2 previous sessions (identifying duplicate records & creating action items based off of a template) and make them run automatically using Airtable Automations!
