Download Data Store

I got really excited by seeing Beaver’s solution to this problem :raised_hands:

While a native solution would be nice, this is fairly awesome as we can automate it :star_struck:

I decided to build this out as a test and I screenshot’ed it all as I was building it.

Sharing here in the hopes it helps someone!

Create a new Datastore:

Make sure one of the items is of type “Date”, this is important.

Create a new Scenario:

Search for and select the Datastore module and choose “Search records” from the option list.

Create a new Data structure:

Make sure your Datastore’s item that is of type “Date” is also a of type “Date” within your Data structure.

Search Filter:

After choosing your Date item to search against, change the operator.

Select the “Laster than or equal to” date time operator.

Select yesterdays date as a value:

Run once:

Get the data out of the Datastore so that it’s available to your next Module.

Airtable:

I used Airtable for this build, you can use Google Sheets or whatever you like best.

In Airtable create a new Base, then Table, and add 3 columns. Make sure you date column is of type “Date”.

Airtable Module:

Add another Module. Search for and select Airtable.

Choose “Create a Record” from the list of options.

Setup the module:

Run once:

Find your Datastore backed up to Airtable!

I run through a lot of these setups (using Webflow to demo the builds) on my blog if you want to see more.

Thanks for this Beaver!
