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 ...

Laura (above) is correct. You cannot cause we ndividual emails to be triggered by running an Automation.
So there are two choices I can recommend.
The first, like Laura suggested, is to to create a Subscription report to be received by an internal person and make a formula URL field to be able to push a button in each record on that day's report to update a field to trigger an email. The report will refresh with one less record on each click, so 100 records =100 clicks.
Alternatively, I can implement a script which will let you push 1button to that button pushing for you. It runs slow enough to be seen by Quick Base as individual changes and hence will trigger emails,. The script runs at the rate of about 3 or 4 per second.

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.
