[@100busan]

It’s crazy. I knew the reason to use airtable. Thank you. I will follow you.

[@rustythomaston9392]

You are my new hero! My marketing guide found Air Table and is setting everything up for me. I sure hope he watched your videos! LOL

[@GarethPronovost]

Glad to help, Rusty!

Thanks Gareth!

[@Ifeomailloh]

Awesome Gareth, is this still useful in 2023?

[@GarethPronovost]

Yes, but we just posted an update for 2023 to our channel! ❤️

[@false-prophet-abc]

Thanks for the video! A quick question: As this video teaches, I can automate emails with Airtable Automation. If so, I wonder why I need SendGrid on top of Airtable Automation?

[@GarethPronovost]

You can use your own email to send specific emails as part of a process, but SendGrid (or another ESP) is recommended for mass emailing.

Thank you!!! Veryyyyy helpful

[@dannyhakimian9655]

These videos are great - thanks!

[@GarethPronovost]

Awesome! Happy to help

[@ShelleyhitzTV]

How do you use a non-gmail email address in these automations? Our team uses HelpScout with an email based on our domain and I’d like to keep all communication in that place. Thank you so much!

[@XxStupendousManxX]

Hello Gareth. In the case of “Full name” being your primary field, how do you handle two “John Smith”s?

[@GarethPronovost]

If this is a consistent problem for you (likely because the size of your data set is larger) then you can make the primary field more complex. Perhaps it's the Full Name combined with the Email Address. Or similarly you could use the Full Name combined with the Company they work for... It's totally up to you!

[@XxStupendousManxX]

@@GarethPronovost perfect!

[@twbashar]

This is really helpful. Thanks.

[@GarethPronovost]

Thanks !!

Happy to help

[@MieyaOladipupo]

OMG so excited about this! Question: When sending with gmail will my email signature automatically be added to outgoing emails?

[@GarethPronovost]

I'm ashamed to say I'm not sure. If I recall, you can access your (multiple?) Email signatures and choose which one to add. I believe this is a setting you can access in the email action step if you expand the "more options"

[@meldeweese]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@GarethPronovost]

Thanks for watching - glad to help!

How do I move a record from one table to another? I tried the automation and it did not work. Please help.

[@GarethPronovost]

Generally this isn't advisable. A more common use case is to update a status of a record, or otherwise update it to reflect a change. However if you really want to do this, you'll need to use a third party automation tool like Zapier or Make in order to move a record from one base to another.

These videos are saving me at work!! We are about to get our enterprise license. Currently trying to figure out which method would work best to create a reoccurring meeting in the calendar view. Currently we are not able to sync our outlook calendar for security issues

[@GarethPronovost]

Hi Rebecca! Best of luck with your enterprise license! Check out this tutorial we did for creating a recurring automation trigger: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6vJpn2of9Bgaq8
