- Descriptions are consistently formatted and ready for use on websites or other platforms.

Workflow Steps

  • Trigger: The workflow starts with a webhook that listens for incoming requests.
    2. Condition Check: It checks if the request pertains to a single record or all records in Airtable.
    3. Data Retrieval: Based on the condition:
    - If it's a single record, it fetches the specific record from Airtable.
    - If it's all records, it retrieves multiple records from Airtable.
    4. Markdown Conversion: The workflow then converts the Markdown video descriptions to HTML using two separate conversion nodes for flexibility.
    5. Update Records: Finally, it updates the corresponding records in Airtable with the newly converted HTML descriptions, ensuring that all content is up-to-date and properly formatted.
