- The new request will be in the Datastore, and if you open your reports endpoint tomorrow, you'll see a log of all the new requests, as well as updates to your Airtable base.

## One Last Thing

At this point you'll have a cron that runs daily adding a row to your Airtable
project. Since we don't want that to happen forever you can do one of two
things.

1. Click the pause button in the upper-left corner of the cron.
2. Add logic to your cron that will skip days that have no entries.

If you want to do the latter, make the adjustment to the cron process by adding
the last 6 lines: assigning the length of todayRequests and then conditionally
emitting todayRequests to the StoreReport worker or not.

Congratulations! You now have your first Dark application: an API that stores requests into a datastore, creates a daily report of those requests, and sends the report to Airtable.
