How to trigger an automation ONLY for the first item every date?

Hi everyone,

I’m running an advertising magazine where each Group in my board represents a specific publication date, I have multiple Items (different types of ads).

The designer marks each item as “Done” as they finish them. My current automation sends me a notification every time an item’s status changes to “Done.” This results in dozens of notifications per day, which is overwhelming.

My Goal: Is there a way to trigger a notification ONLY for the first item that changes status? I want to know he has started the work for that date, but I don’t need an alert for every subsequent item he starts..

Does anyone have a workaround or a specific automation recipe for this?

Thanks in advance!
