Is it possible to use/call automation step results in scripts? For example, I have an automation script the triggers when a Material entity is linked to a Box entity. If I create the automation in the Box DB I can get the Box entity info when I use args.currentEntities, but not the Material info. I…

Alright, after quite a bit of messing around I think I found an ok way to do this. It seems like grabbing the first item in the array when sorting by modification date should always get you the most recently linked entity and therefore the entity that triggered the automation. I would be curious if …

Something like this maybe? const entity = args.currentEntities[0]; const linkedEntities = await fibery.getEntityById(entity.type, entity.id, ['Box', 'linked Material']; const linkedBoxes = linkedEntities['Box'].map(({ id }) => id); [...] See this article for a better example (if I understood you…

This may or may not work, as it seems to be indeterminate whether previous steps have truly been “completed” when subsequent steps are run: [image] What am I doing wrong? Get Help Apparently it’s worse than that… It appears that additionally, the results of “very recently…

@Chr1sG Thanks for the info! I’m still not sure that I’m able to get the correct entity info from the first step. When I log args.steps[1] it only returns the entity that the automation has triggered for, not the linked entity. Apologies if I’m just totally messing up the syntax. [Automation Steps…

You’re not messing anything up. The steps[1] argument does indeed only return the triggering entity and not the entity that was linked. Sorry.

Thanks for posting this solution! I am in a similar boat today and wanting to make an edit to a task, when that task is linked to a Milestone that matches specific criteria. The current automations editor doesn’t allow me to filter by Milestone criteria when creating an automation from the Tasks da…

I am hoping so hard that Fibery will invest more time and effort in the automations & rules product area. I think it might be one of if not the biggest weakness of Fibery given the importance it has in this type of product. We’ve been building automations and back-end logic in low code and no code …

Oh god, I just found this thread . That might have provided me with the hope I needed.
