Automation for Single Select Field

[Sara_Stahlberg]

I am trying to set up an automation such that the following are true:

• Record A has a field with Step 1 in it (single select).
• I want the automation to auto-create (based on conditions I’ve defined) a new record that carries over similar information but changes that single select field to Step 2.

Is there a way to do this?

This is definitely doable. What do you want to use for the automation trigger? Will it be the changing of that single select field?

The only automation action that you’ll need will be creating a new record, and setting the desired fields to the desired values. To insert values from the triggering record, click the blue + symbol to pull data from the trigger step, which will be from the triggering record and its fields.
