Airtable to google group

Hello everyone
I am trying to create a scenario that adds a user to a google group when a record is created in airtable.

They can choose between 1 and 5 of the google groups to be added to

The issue I am running into is that if the user already exists in the group it throws an error and disables the scenario.

Any thoughts are welcome!

Hello @Codie_McNamara,

Before trying to add someone to the group you could check first if they’re in the group and only proceed if not.

Alternatively, if you right click the module that adds a person to the group, you can select Add Error Handler then select Ignore. Between the module and the Ignore, you can add a filter to only ignore if the message returned is something about the user already being in the group.
You would need to add a router to check for other kinds of errors and handle them appropriately.

I currently have a list volunteers but it doesn’t seem to work as expected

Here’s how I’d do it…

You Iterate Distro Groups, try to add the member to that group. If it fails, it will go on the error route and if the error contains “already” or whatever the message is that indicates the user is already in the group, then you just ignore and move on to the next.

Here’s a blueprint:
