Request:
Enable automations that can differentiate between when a link column is first populated and when it is updated, with support for customized notifications in each case.
Use Case Example:
On a project board, there’s a column called “Workflow Link” where a team member adds a URL once a workflow is created. The automation should:
- Send Notification A when the link is first added — e.g., “A new workflow has been created.”
- Send Notification B if that same link is later changed — e.g., “The workflow link has been updated.”
Problem:
Currently, the automation system cannot detect changes specifically in link columns, and all notifications are triggered the same way, leading to confusion and redundancy.
Proposed Solution:
- Add condition support for “when link is added” and “when link is changed”.
- Allow different messages for each action.
- Avoid duplicate notifications on minor or non-substantive edits.
This would streamline workflows and reduce manual follow-up.
