Have automation to run when record is created, When record is created, It will set added_date, add_by(person email) and set record as active. It does 2 of 3… It doesnt add person email address. What could I be doing wrong?

Ah yes, that’s one of the limitations (possibly a bug?) with creating new records through an external form.
Unfortunately, the “user who took action” option doesn’t know who submitted the record through the external form, even if the user is logged into Airtable.
Personally, I believe that this is a bug in the product, so I would recommend emailing support@airtable.com to ask them to improve this behavior.
There are a few workarounds to this limitation:
Hope this helps!

Hm, does this look right to you?
And I’ve set it up here for you to check out
It works by turning on ‘See who submitted a response’, which gives us a ‘Created by’ field, that we can use to grab the email from:

Im sorry, using interface > Add Record
I did create a form now, however not sure how to link interface to a form using the add record at the top
Oh that works just fine too:
I do not show “See who submitted a response” besides on form edit. Which add record is not really apart of it? Am I missing where this setting is?
Nope, you’re not missing anything. Airtable has two types of forms, internal and external. With external forms you can turn on ‘See who submitted a response’, and for internal forms the users are logged in anyway so that’s automatic
You’re using an internal form, so you don’t need to turn that on and will already know who submitted the form via the ‘Created by’ field!
How does the Created by field get filled out? Automatically?
It works thank you all!
