Yeah, my testing seems to indicate that.
Do you know - if I create an automation to run nightly, and fill in a date/time field if certain conditions are met (say, [Today] is 30 days before [Expiration Date], and then run a notification of 'if the date/time field is modified' - will that trigger a bunch of individual notifications (what I am hoping for), or will it trigger the multi-record change notification?

5 years agoThat will work if you use a Pipeline. I'm pretty sure that QuickBase will see the updates from the Automation as a multi record change.
I have had good success in triggering individual email notifications by gathering up a bunch of qualifying records which with a search step in a pipeline and then doing a "For Each" step to update say a date time field with another field [current date time] I am not yet comfortable enough with Jinja so I just cheat and use a native formula field. The For Each loop sends individual updates for all the records found in the for each loop.
