Enable multiple conditions in automations

Tobias_LGKR · ‎Feb 17, 2023

What is the proposed idea/solution? It would be very helpful if we could simultaneously meet multiple conditions in an automation. How does is solve the user problems? We often send out Emails to users via automations. The content depends on a set of parameters. At the moment we need to build endless combinations of conditions in order to work with the existing hierarchy of how the conditions are executed. As soon as the first condition is met, all other possibilities are no longer looked at by the automation. Looking at all conditions and executing all conditions that are met would totally liberate the way we need to use automations.

I would find it very useful if there was an embed block that would be kind of similar to the page designer except that instead of printing it would be for embedding it into a website. The use case would be showing records from Airtable in a more customized way that would feel and look more just like a part of the webpage. Say I wanted to show a table with all our employees. Right now it would be via an embed view (which is great) but if I could design it to look and feel just like our website it would be very useful

I would love the ability to reshuffle and group Automations. I often have 10-20+ automations in one Base and they are created at different times. It would be a great help if i could organize them in a chronological, or dependant, order as i add automations to the list. Currently if i create an automation that is the 2nd to trigger in the base but i created it months after the others that already exist, it sits at the bottom of the list and makes it very difficult to remember which Automation triggers in which sequence. (I currently have a stack of 6 automations that trigger one after another but are all jumbled in the Automation tab)

Hello, The automation fields don’t currently allow calculations in fields. For example, I want to create an automation that pulls the date from a selected record and adds or subtracts a number of days from that. It would be a very useful feature to automate some project tasks without having to manually enter the dates. I’m giving an example with dates but automation would be largely enhanced if we could use formulas in fields. Thank you.

What is the proposed idea/solution? The automations list should be searchable by automation name. When there are lots of automations, finding the right one is annoying, even when organising them in sections. How does is solve the user problems? Faster access, better experience. How was this validated? I struggle daily with it, and hope others find it useful, too. Who is the target audience? All Airtable devs.

I would love to see a detailed change log by Airtable where everything that is added or changed gets documented. Everything. Things get changed, added and improved constantly. Often small and helpful things (that I need) which go unnoticed for quite some time because they are not communicated. I would consult such a change log page every morning before I start my work to see what exactly is new. It could be an improved version of the existing "What's new" page but with every detail, not only three changes per month often published way after the fact. That page is already fed by an Airtable app. So it would be extremely low effort to plug every development team into that tool to communicate changes as soon as they are rolled out.

What is the proposed idea/solution? ...include an option for automation on field updates to not trigger on each keystroke (i.e. to trigger when focus is lost on the watched field or some other solution) How does is solve the user problems? ...triggering automations on each keystroke causes several problems, especially with two-way sync either within Airtable or with external sources (discussed here: https://community.airtable.com/t5/automations/automation-starts-immediately-after-the-first-keystroke/td-p/101927) How was this validated? ...I have a base that this is causing issues for Who is the target audience? ...anyone who has automations in bases that are enabled with two-way sync

What is the proposed idea/solution? New Comment automation trigger with conditional logic Add actions to list, create, delete and update records On a JavaScript record object, add methods to list, create, delete and update comments ... How does is solve the user problems? Automation triggered by new comments could be used at the user's discretion. One example is to send a message/notification to a third-party service like Microsoft Teams. The ability to create comments from automations/scripting could be used at the user's discretion. One example is to leave a comment (as an automations user) if a record didn't meet certain conditions. The current method requires: Generate an access token with data.recordComments:read and/or data.recordComments:write scope Add a Script action to an automation Craft a fetch request for each comment operation and exposing the access token Would be much simpler to create an instance of a record object and use a method like: record.createComment() record.deleteComment() record.updateComment() record.listComments() ... Who is the target audience? All users ...
