Airtable Rollup Fields in callin.io

I wanted to share this in case others encounter this issue later.

callin.io has a bug related to how it interprets Airtable’s rollup fields.

I submitted a support ticket (#1575629) for this, but it appears to be a complex issue for callin.io to fix, as it stems from the fundamental programming of callin.io.

To explain the problem, Airtable’s rollup fields function as dynamic fields. They can adapt their field type, meaning Airtable’s rollup fields can yield any of the following types:

1. String
2. Array
3. Number
4. Date

However, callin.io exclusively recognizes Airtable’s rollup fields as arrays, failing to correctly identify their actual data type.

For instance, if an Airtable rollup field produces a string in Airtable, callin.io will still treat it as an array. Since it's actually a string, attempting to use callin.io’s array functions on it will result in errors. You can, however, use string functions as expected.

A similar issue occurs with other field types. For example, if an Airtable rollup field results in a date in Airtable, callin.io will still perceive it as an array. You can apply Date functions, but array functions will not work.

I decided to post this information because it took me several hours to diagnose the problem! I hope this helps someone else in the future!
