Hi everyone,

I’ve set up an automation in Airtable that is supposed to trigger once a day at a fixed time. The automation is configured to send an email via Gmail.

Here’s the setup:

• Trigger: At a scheduled time

• Interval: Every 1 day

• Time: 1:30 PM (local timezone +07)

• Start date: Jan 9, 2025

(Screenshot 1 shows the trigger configuration).

The problem:
Instead of firing once, the automation is running three times:

• Once at the correct scheduled time (1:30 PM)

• Once again almost immediately after (same minute)

• And another run about 2 hours earlier than scheduled

Screenshot 2 shows the run history:

• 13:32 → executed once (2 hours early)

• 15:52 → executed twice in the same minute

Screenshot 3 shows the action setup:

• It searches in the table 11. Einsatzplanung

• Using conditions (Einsatztyp = Installation, Start = in one week, Projekttyp has value, Willkommensmail senden = true)

So far, we can’t figure out why Airtable is running the automation three times when the schedule is set for once daily.

My question:
Has anyone else experienced this behavior? Could it be related to how the "Find records" step returns results, or is this a bug with scheduled triggers? Any advice or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!
