Automation not copying records

I have 2 tables;

Table 1:  Products (about 500 records)
Table 2: Daily product valuations


This is what I am trying to accomplish:


1) Copy all the products from table 1 to table 2, every day at a scheduled time. 

2) Fields to copy are: Description, cost, quantity on hand.

3) This will allow me to get a snap shot of each stock item and its quantities/cost every day.

4) I can then create a summary report in this "Daily products valuation table" to pin point the stock values and quantities at any given day.

The problem:

I am trying an automation:  but, an automation doesn't seem to be working (it runs, but no records are copied).  Does this have something to do with the 10 records a second rule?



Is the use of an automation not going to work?  or is there a more novel solution to this?

  • No problem,

    Set up a saved table to table import mapping the fields from Table 1 to table 2.

    Edit your scheduled daily Automation to simply run the import. When you do it that way, there is no effective limit to the number of records you can copy and those saved imports run super fast.

    The Automation will run some time an hour or two after midnight.
  • Thanks for this Mark.  Is there any way I can set what time the automation can run?
