A great Technique is this to be able to send a really fancy email Notification.
Compose your perfect words and format using either Word or in fact the Rich Text editor of a Quick Base Page of type Rich Text. Use Placeholder like this
[Customer name]
in the body
if you are starting from Word copy the Rich Text into a page and save
Then open the page and click the HTML button. That make a crazy amount of copy and just copy that.
Then open an email notification, set it to HTML and paste 'er in.
Be sure that if you are making any change to do the change in the Page ( and then copy / paste) into the email notification so your clean readable source is that Rich Text page.
As for your part 2, in fact there is a way.
Let's say that you have a checkbox in your grid edit called [Requested to send email].
Make an Automation to that says when the [Requested to send email] is changed to checked to change the value of the field [Actually Trigger email] to checked.
Then set the email to trigger when the [Actually Trigger email] field changes to checked.
Curiously, but conveniently, this two step process causes the [Actually Trigger email] field to be changed slow enough to trigger individual emails.
