Based on the information I've found, this sounds like you may be experiencing an infinite loop or data alignment issue with your job change signal. [1]
Common causes include:
Webhook loops: If your table sends data to a webhook that writes back to the same table
Cross-table circular references: When tables write back to each other continuously
Auto-enrichment recursion: When enrichments trigger based on fields they update
Immediate fixes:
Pause auto-run on suspect enrichment columns
Check if any columns are triggering based on fields they modify
Use status columns to prevent re-triggering (e.g., "Processed" vs "Not Processed")
To help troubleshoot further, could you provide:
A link to your table
Any specific error messages
A screenshot showing the misaligned data
This will help identify what's causing the random data push issue.

This appears to be an '[object Object]' output error where your column is only displaying partial data instead of the full URL.
To fix this issue:
Check your formula structure:
Open the "Previous Company (LinkedIn)" column settings
Review if the formula is referencing an entire JSON object instead of a specific key
Update the formula to target the specific field containing the LinkedIn URL
For job change signals specifically:
Verify that your table has proper LinkedIn URLs in the source data
Ensure the job change signal is configured to monitor the correct LinkedIn URL column [1]
Quick troubleshooting steps:
1.
Edit the column formula to specify the exact data path (e.g., .LinkedInURL instead of just .response)
2.
Test the updated formula to confirm it returns the full URL
3.
Re-run the job change signal if needed
This type of truncated output typically occurs when the column references incomplete data paths in the underlying JSON structure.

Your formula is accessing nested array elements incorrectly, causing it to return only the first character ("h") instead of the full URL.
Fix your formula structure:
The issue is with ?.[0]?.[0] - this double array indexing is likely pulling a single character from a string rather than the complete LinkedIn URL.
Try these corrected formulas:
1.
#{{Event: Job change}}?.previousCompany?.[0]?.linkedinUrl || #{{Event: Job change}}?.previousCompany?.linkedinUrl
2.
#{{Event: Job change}}?.previousCompany?.[0]?.url || #{{Event: Job change}}?.previousCompany?.url
Troubleshooting steps:
1.
Check the actual data structure in your "Event: Job change" column
2.
Look for the correct field name (might be linkedinUrl, url, linkedin_url, etc.)
3.
Remove the second [0] indexing which is causing the character truncation [1]
The key is targeting the specific endpoint containing the LinkedIn URL rather than referencing nested array positions that don't contain the full URL data. [2]
