Hey community!

Today we are officially launching several brand new automation features to help you build more robust workflows.

  • Automation trigger: at a scheduled time
  • Automation action: find records
  • Rendering records as a list

One of the best applications for these new features is making an email digest, where you can schedule a time to send a list of records that match the conditions you set. To see how all of these features come together to build an email digest, see this support article.

Below youโ€™ll find a shorter summary of each new feature.

At a scheduled time trigger

trigger_options

The โ€œAt a scheduled timeโ€ trigger allows you to trigger (or run) an automation at a pre-designated date and time. You can choose to run at regular intervals (in hours or minutes) or at set time on specific days of the week.

Find records action

action_options

This action will look for records matching conditions that you can specify within the action settings. If a record that matches the conditions is found, you can add a following action that uses the record data to perform some other action.

Render records as a list

render_list
This new feature lets you use the records found in the โ€œfind recordsโ€ trigger and render them as a list within an email. You can select which fields to include, and render them as a list of records in the email.
