Multiple notifications after grid edit

On a single record, when we change the status to Approved, it will send the contact person, Email field, a notification. 

I have created a grid edit table, so we can update multiple records at once. However, I need a notification sent to each email on each record. How do I get Quickbase to do this?

when I tested, each individual record got an email, but it was the multiple record version. It just displayed the field ID, and not the individual information needed per email.

    One solution would be to trigger a Pipeline or Automation to fire which would update a specific field used to then trigger the Notifications.  Other words the updates would trigger the pipeline or automation, and that would in turn update a date time field to the current date time that is actually triggering the notification.

    That should cause the notifications to be triggered individually and not seen by Quickbase as a mass update.

      That worked! I tried what you mentioned before I posted, but was unsuccessful. Now it works great! Just needed a bit of your magic.
