You can also move automations from one section to another at a later time if necessary. After we create the sections, we'll move some of the automations into a section. This is where automations not nested in a section you've created will appear.įor this example, we will be creating a "Comms" section and a "Base updates" section to nest our automations. You'll also see a "More" section automatically created. Once clicked, a new section will appear that you can rename. Near the bottom of the Automations window, you'll see the "Create section" option. You can also sort sections and move automations from one section to another. Your mouse will appear as a hand icon and you can then click and drag the automation to move it somewhere else.

Note that whatever testing state the trigger and action(s) steps have in the original automation will be matched in the duplicate. In these instances, you can duplicate the automation by clicking the dropdown menu next to the automation's name and choosing "Duplicate automation." This will cause a new automation named "Your automation's name copy" to be created. Or perhaps you want to tweak or test a few things while maintaining your original automation. There are times when you may already have built an automation that is close enough to another automation you are going to build. With the automation's setup window opened you can either click the dropdown menu next to the current name and choose "Rename automation" or simply double-click on the name to begin editing.

AIRTABLE AUTOMATION MANUAL
In this case, you may need to build out a custom automation using a different manual trigger, such as a checkbox field, to "rerun" the automation. This is because the automation is still attempting to run the automation in its previous state, the configuration state of the automation when the run was first attempted. However, even after updating the automation to run correctly, the rerun option will still not work. It's possible that some part of the automation is broken and needs to be updated. Once you've filled in the required fields you can run the automation.Sometimes, clicking the rerun option will also fail. You can find the "App Id" in this URL (for me it's "appd3BD8PlHWVY9Xp")Ħ.
