How can I process only a specific record with an automation?

Instead of the Automation running on the entire table or view, I need it to process a single record at a time.

It's possible to process individual records. You can do this by going to:

  1. Run

  2. Under Option 1: Process Individual Records, click on Copy Formula

  3. Copy the formula and paste it into an Airtable formula or button field

  4. Clicking the link in the formula or button field will run the automation only for that record.

You can use this feature with many of our automations to great effect, for example to convert a specific image, generate a QR code for a specific record etc.
