Is there a way to get some sort of confirmation when automation is executed without going to automation section and checking history?

E.g. I have set automation that on trigger it fires email. I want table to show a checkbox confirm, when email is sent.

Hi,

it depends on type of confirmation you need
if you want fill checkbox, just add next step “update record” after email step.

in my case, to be informed, i’ve added myself to Bc in emali settings

Thanks, I am also doing CC/BC but that is not exactly effective as it is not displayed in the table. You have to manually check inbox, and if there are many emails, time innefiecient, that’s what airtable must solve :slightly_smiling_face:

It depends on your need. You can add multiple steps to automation and reuse output data of each steps. Usually, mine are “trigger”-“find”-“update”, but sometimes it’s 4 or 5 steps (when i’m too lazy to write single scripting step doing all those actions).
