I am trying to scrape data from a Convertkit dashboard. I am using “Get Text” to grab 1 number value and 2 percentage values. But when I run my automation, I get this message:
“You are trying to use a different kind of data than the current argument expects. Bardeen will convert it, but the result may be unexpected.”
So then I tried to do a simple math equation to move decimal spaces but I think because the values both contain the “%” sign, when I use the “Get product of” function to multiply numbers, I get the error message:
Impossible to convert some types. We were not able to automatically convert a value from type ‘1.74%’ to type ‘Number’. This error is usually encountered if a playbook action is given a field value of a previous command, for which there were no straightforward conversion possible.
Thanks @Jess! I was able to create that action but I am unable to then map it into the Airtable field because the Airtable field type is a number but this is now “text”. When I click into an Airtable field that is a “text” type, I have the option to map it in, but that’s not what I need.
@Jess the issue is that I cannot map the result from the “find values from regular expression” step into that field. But for example, if I needed it to go to “Main List Subs” above it, it does appear as an option. It seems the issue is that I can map it in a text field but not a numbers field. And I need it in the “number” type field.
@Jess and @vin_bardeen just wanted to check in here! I am wrapping up this project for a client (due by the end of the month) and this is literally one of the last 2 items on my checklist.
Hi @jesse.orion.parker and @Jess 2.39 has been released. You may need to manually update in the Chrome Extensions management page as the Chrome Store throttles automatic updates and doesn’t push the release out to all users all at once.
Keep me posted, Bardeen team! And thanks for testing, Jess
