Automation - Send email failes when no assignee entered


Hello everyone,

 

I have the following problem: I have an Airtable automation that informs the assignee of a project when some fields change. Now we often have the case that there is no assignee yet but someone edits one of these fields. Then the automation fails and I receive a notification by email every time that the automation has failed.

 

Can I change this somehow?

Unfortunately, triggers cannot be cobined, for example: If field A changes and assignee is not empty.

 

best regards

Mirko

Hi @mirkolando ,

You can use Conditional Logic for specific Actions. Choose here, when adding the next action:

And here you can use the is not empty condition within your field.

If the Send an email action is inside this condition, it won't be executed and thus your automation won't fail.

I'd love to explore more use-cases of Airtable and automation specific to your business, if you're interested feel free to book a free call at any time that works for you 🙂
