  1. Can we make an automation with “or” condition?
    e.g. An item is created, or an updated is created, do somthing.

  2. Can we trigger an automation by specific user’s activity?
    e.g. When “an assigned user” updated an item, change a status to something.

Hey @Rran !

Both of those features are available, just not exactly as you have it laid out.

  1. a substitute for the “or” condition is to just make multiple automations resulting in the same action, but with different triggers. I would definitely like an “or” function, but for now multiple automations does the trick for me.

  2. This is possible when creating a custom automation. You’ll do this by using an “and” statement, ie. “When status is something and person is someone, do xyz”

Hope this helps, let me know if you have another question!

Hi,

  1. I know that I can make several automations, but I just want to combine them to prevent duplicated works. :slight_smile:

  2. At this time the custom automation allows when a person is assigned to a specific column. But I would like to trigger the automation regardless of assignees, but the person who really did the action. For example, we would like to make a change when team members do something, not a team manager.

What I want to do via automation is

  • When an update is created, and the updating person is not “somebody”, change column status.
  • When a column status changed, and it’s been done by "somebody" notify someone.

sort of things…

If we can add the creation log to the assignee, then I think this will work.
But current set, it is not possible.

Thank you!
