Hey Airtable Community,
I’m new to Airtable and trying to set up an automation to send an email when a task is marked complete, but it’s not working. The automation seems to start, but no emails go out. I need help figuring this out!
Details:
- Using Airtable Team plan on Chrome (Mac).
- I have a “Tasks” table with columns: “Task Name” (text), “Due Date” (date), and “Done” (checkbox).
- Automation goal: Send an email to my team (e.g., me@example.com) when “Done” is checked.
- Automation setup:
- Trigger: When “Done” checkbox is checked in Tasks.
- Action: Send email with task name and due date.
- Problem: Automation runs (logs say “triggered”), but no email is sent. No error messages.
- Steps I tried:
- Checked my email address is correct.
- Tested with a different email—still no email.
- Made sure the task has “Done” checked.
- Looked at Airtable’s automation help page but got stuck.
Questions:
- Why aren’t my emails sending?
- Is there something I need to set up in Airtable to make emails work?
- Any simple tips to fix this automation?
I read the Community Guidelines and want this to work for my team’s tasks. Thanks for any help!
