# Table Automations

<iframe className="w-full aspect-video rounded-xl" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/E7nk0QusS4Y" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowFullScreen />

Take your work tables a step further with our automations!
Every automation starts with a trigger and includes one or more actions. Whenever a trigger occurs, an action is initiated.

Within a table, automation can be activated in response to a range of triggers, including record creation, record update, and record deletion. These triggers enable you to automate specific tasks, ensuring that your data and processes remain consistent.

**Note:** Prior to automating the fields in the table, it is necessary to create a workbook and table.

To learn how to create a workbook, [click here.](/help/tables/create-folderstables#create-a-table)

**Note**: If its your first automation you have two button to click on for a fresh new automation.

## Build your Automation

### Step 1: Choose a Trigger

The first step in building your automation is to add a trigger. A trigger is the event that initiates the process, and it occurs only once each time an automation begins.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/engini/uys1A1coFPVlrOBK/help/assets/tables/table-automations/p0-XnBgfLwyXQyn5Vw1LP_untitled-design-46.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uys1A1coFPVlrOBK&q=85&s=45bc531c073dc306740866a06ef95b24" alt="" width="1917" height="987" data-path="help/assets/tables/table-automations/p0-XnBgfLwyXQyn5Vw1LP_untitled-design-46.png" />

From the workflow that opened press the '+' to choose your trigger.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/engini/uys1A1coFPVlrOBK/help/assets/tables/table-automations/iyHzXUeSOyTzM5D-yc6AA_untitled-design-47.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uys1A1coFPVlrOBK&q=85&s=80fb75083a47212e516694489a6d5201" alt="" width="1918" height="982" data-path="help/assets/tables/table-automations/iyHzXUeSOyTzM5D-yc6AA_untitled-design-47.png" />

Choose the trigger you want to start with. More explanations down below.

## Triggers

### On record creation

Automation is initiated when a new record is generated, resulting in the execution of one or more actions. You can also include a condition in the trigger, ensuring that the process only activates if this condition is satisfied.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/engini/uys1A1coFPVlrOBK/help/assets/tables/table-automations/rTtGJ_N0wwBsAVpnGxhT6_untitled-design-2026-05-29t085345295.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uys1A1coFPVlrOBK&q=85&s=d253750e1dbe4ce3838af6dc5ffe2fb9" alt="" width="1912" height="987" data-path="help/assets/tables/table-automations/rTtGJ_N0wwBsAVpnGxhT6_untitled-design-2026-05-29t085345295.png" />

* *Add Conditions -* Click Add Conditions to define conditions that narrow down the data list and return only the relevant items. To learn more about using filters, [click here](/help/workflows/workflow-editor#add-conditions).

### On record deleted

Automation is initiated when a record is deleted from a table, leading to the execution of one or more actions. You can also integrate a condition into the trigger, in order to ensure that the process only activates if this condition is met.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/engini/uys1A1coFPVlrOBK/help/assets/tables/table-automations/f6p6SutBLy4dAEXNEDUUp_untitled-design-2026-05-29t085443207.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uys1A1coFPVlrOBK&q=85&s=11d6627be912ded52f634c296b3ddd93" alt="" width="1916" height="985" data-path="help/assets/tables/table-automations/f6p6SutBLy4dAEXNEDUUp_untitled-design-2026-05-29t085443207.png" />

* *Add Conditions -* Click Add Conditions to define conditions that narrow down the data list and return only the relevant items. To learn more about using filters, [click here](/help/workflows/workflow-editor#add-conditions).

### On record updated

An automation is activated when an existing record is modified or updated, leading to the execution of one or more actions.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/engini/uys1A1coFPVlrOBK/help/assets/tables/table-automations/BwlPRLeHjm9xynQzBRQSA_2-67.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uys1A1coFPVlrOBK&q=85&s=081b837da69d70dbad6ee3916a29ccb8" alt="" width="1918" height="986" data-path="help/assets/tables/table-automations/BwlPRLeHjm9xynQzBRQSA_2-67.png" />

**Note:** Some tables include Connected Table fields, which are used to create relationships between records in different tables.
When using the **Create Record** action, you can map a Connected Table field by providing the **Record ID** of the related record.*\**

* *For Example -* A new Employee record is created. The **Task** field is a **Connected Table** field that links the employee to an existing task record.

  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/engini/uys1A1coFPVlrOBK/help/assets/tables/table-automations/CtG_kCe3jWkaXOedgFwEx_image.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uys1A1coFPVlrOBK&q=85&s=c68dada8c132cf4f53d63874b7a2142c" alt="" width="1349" height="830" data-path="help/assets/tables/table-automations/CtG_kCe3jWkaXOedgFwEx_image.png" />

To create this connection, the workflow maps the **Record ID** of the relevant task into the **Task** field.

### Create Records Batch

With this action, you can create multiple new records in your table simultaneously. The number of records created will match the number of objects in the data list. Each record will include the properties of the objects from the data list in sequential order.
