Automation Scenario: Creating Recurring Records in SmartSuite/Airtable from Webhook Data

Objective: To automate the process of creating records in SmartSuite or Airtable based on user availability data received from a webhook. The records should represent each availability time slot for a specified period (in this case, two months), ensuring that each day within the period has a corresponding entry.

Input Data Example: The webhook provides the following data structure:

yaml

Copy code

Output
Bundle 1Collection
dataCollection
- userid: user-2
- Make_Filter: ADT123
- name: Ahmed Safaa
- Doctor_ID: 1245klm
- period_duration: 2
- availabilityArray
  1Collection
  - start_date_time: December 2, 2024 11:00 PM
  - end_date_time: December 2, 2024 7:00 PM
  2Collection
  - start_date_time: December 1, 2024 12:00 PM
  - end_date_time: December 1, 2024 4:00 PM
  3Collection
  - start_date_time: December 1, 2024 7:00 PM
  - end_date_time: December 1, 2024 11:00 PM

Requirements:

1. Input Processing:

• Use the data output from the webhook to extract user information and availability slots.
• The availabilityArray contains multiple time slots for which records need to be created.

2. Date Generation:

• Implement a mechanism (using the Date Generator module) to generate dates for each availability time slot for the next two months.
• Each day within this two-month period should create a record if it matches the day of the week specified in the start_date_time of each time slot.

3. Record Creation:

• For each generated date corresponding to the start_date_time, create a record in SmartSuite or Airtable with the following fields:
  • User ID: Corresponding to the userid from the webhook.
  • Doctor ID: Corresponding to the Doctor_ID from the webhook.
  • Date: The generated date.
  • Start Time: The start_date_time value from the availability.
  • End Time: The end_date_time value from the availability.
  • Make Filter: Corresponding to the Make_Filter from the webhook.

4. Error Handling:

• Implement error handling mechanisms for the SmartSuite/Airtable API requests, including managing rate limits and retries.

Expected Outcome: At the end of the automation process, there should be a complete set of records in SmartSuite or Airtable that reflects the user’s availability for each day within the two-month period, based on the availability data received from the webhook.
