Hello Coda community!
I am posting here after having contacted the support as I’m creating a doc for internal and shipment tracking. What I’ve done so far:
-
I have a table with a list of shipment orders that a teammate needs to handle (with SKU, quantity, receiver…etc). It’s called ‘Orders to send’
-
I have a button ‘Request batch order’ where we can request a specific order to the teammate after which they will be notified by email with a specific message with a few details about what they need to send and to who.
-
I’d like the push of this button opens a window where we can fill the detail of the order and then it creates a new row. In this new row, I’ve created a button ‘Notify teammate’ which send the email to my teammate with the specific detail of the row newly created
-
After having read a few articles in the community, I tried a few things and it seems I can’t run with the same button the actions of opening the row for edition, creation of new row and pushing the button. So I have created a first table ‘Hidden data’. When ‘Request Batch order’ is pushed, it creates the row there and then said row is copied it in my main table ‘Orders to send’
-
Then I tried to create an automation so the button of the modified row(s) in ‘Orders to send’ are pushed except if the ‘Status’ column is not ‘Requested by team’ (so there are only notifications sent to my teammates when we request new shipment orders)
But! It’s not working ^^
- The automation fails every time
- I used the First() formula to copy each line created from ‘Hidden data’ to ‘Orders to send’ but only the first line created is copied properly in the table ‘Orders to send’. I tried Last() then but it’s not working and I have empty data every time.
Here is the sample of my document Copy of Package tracking
Thanks a lot for your help!
