Automation to Trigger Notification
Hello, I've set up an automation to run daily and to check a checkbox field when a record meets certain criteria. This is working fine. I've set up a email notification to be sent when the automation ...

I know this is an old post, but I can't find anything else on the issue. My question is are there any plans for QB to allow the individual notifications when multiple records are edited through automation?
For now, I'll be running a subscription report for a team to manually edit specific records so that the individual notifications go out to the respective recipients, but was really hoping I could get this done through automation.

Qrew LegendYou can use a Pipeline to do the updates and they will fire individual Notifications.
I actually have a script that is failing and will be deprecated soon anyways as it uses javascript in the button. So I will know tomorrow for sure that this will work as I'm going to fire off about 50 or so emails in a "live' test of the replacement process.
To be perfectly transparent thought when I asked QuickBase support if it was a recommended practice to use a pipeline to fire the individual notifications and they said it's not recommended or guaranteed to work and you should use the Outlook or Gmail channel to fire the notifications. But I don't really want to go to the extra effort as the notifications are already negatively built. So I'm just going to do it the easy way and I'll find out if it complains.
I think the only issue will be if the updates to QuickBase happen faster than QuickBase can accept the updates. But I also assume under the covers they must know that you're updating the Quickbase record and would not flood quick base with API calls faster than it could handle.
