Question

Automation creates record, which triggers second Automation.

I have a use case where when Table A (Request table) has a new record created, we create a new record in Table B. This is working as expected.

I also have an automation for when Table B has a new record created, to make a record in Table C. I'm not fully convinced this is firing as anticipated.

We're having cases where Table C isn't populating as expected. Is there a better way to go about doing this?

    ... sounds right to me.

    So the intent is that when Table A has a record created, it creates the record in Table B... which then automatically fires the automation to create the record in Table C... 
    And the record in C is not always getting created?  Can you tell me if the Records in Table A are created one by one or in batches, like a Sync or import?

    Correct, Table C isn't always getting created. Table A are generally created one at a time... via normal form.

    The slight complexity, is depending on a drop down value in Table A, there is an automation for each choice to properly fill out information in Table B... so it's multiple automations there to create Table B record... but those are all populating properly.
