Email Notification Blast to ever changing QB User Email List via an automation.

I have an automation that adds records in a table. In that record is content that I want to send to an ever changing list of my QB users. Each Record added contains an email address for the recipient ...

The repeat markers are used to repeat the info for each record in multi-record action. I think this may be where your issue is.

The %recData% inserts a copy of the record based on the specified form. I don't believe you can use the %recData% with the multi-record version of the email.

If the records are added in bulk, the 'mult-record' version will automatically be sent and per my note above, would include all the records. 

There isn't a good in-between unless you can trick it into sending a single record version.

I was thinking maybe I could create an automation that would trigger a single notification all with the same content in them. Each trigger would some how be associated with a different email recipient. What do you think?

    I can't quite visualize from your description, but I think you're on the right track. I've also used Pipelines for this type of thing as the 'do loop' will process records individually triggering a single record notification.
