Troubleshooting Write to Other Table Errors in Simple Formulas

Is there a place for really dumb questions 👀 ... I'm having issues with Write to Other table, in that it keeps running an error, it's such a simple formula normally and I don't get why I can't get it to work

I have a table here, and I want to have the "Person LinkedIn URL" automatically populate in the new customer table, in excel I would do =unique(Apollo List: A:A), and it would link the two data columns

I've tried, but i keep getting an erorr

In this case you have to lookup record from custom table. Go to custom table Add lookup single row enrichment Select the table as "Apollo list export" Select the lookup value (must be present in both tables) Run the column

but for that you would need to have the values present in both the Apollo List and Custom Table correct?

if i added another item to the "Apollo List" i would also have to add the value to the Custom Table, it wouldn't get added automatically

Yes, it wont be added to other table automatically. Then you have to rethink the design of these tables and see what would work best in your usecase.

That seems a bit strange that you can't have two standard columns linked

/ a column populated based on new data

it is possible but you have to explore another approach

Can you open the write to other table column up and show the screenshot to figure out what is causing the error?

Hi Matthew, thanks for reaching out. Do you mind sending the link to the table so we can take a look? This one is a shared link and I can't find this table in your workspace. I'll be happy to take a look at what's happening here! https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/1171717996/ac7729f84b426e1d0358af02/image.png?expires=1729263600&signature=e583544faf500687f42ca75e915750917de02743d071d07702e5bb89a764b592&req=dSEgF85%2FmohWX%2FMW1HO4zYTywCL%2BAJQQ2BKsam%2FhVPsieQ%3D%3D%0A

Hi Matthew, was able to set this up for you here: https://www.loom.com/share/2460143805a34db095639b85aa46b8ab?sid=8bbab7bc-0cc6-409f-8b85-2ee6614bca01 The issue seems to have been related to how you linked you API key, you can see my troubleshooting process in the video and the column is now running as expected. I hope this was helpful. If there's anything else I can assist you with, please let me know!
