Automations: Allow Creation of New Choices
Introducing Automations: Creation of New Choices
We’re excited to roll out a new automation capability designed to simplify the management of Single and Multiple Select fields. With this update, your automations can now automatically add a new choice when an input value isn’t already available, making it easier to capture dynamic results like those from AI Actions.
Key Highlights
- Automation-Driven Choices: Enable your automation to add missing options directly into Single and Multiple select fields.
- Intuitive Field Interaction: When you hover over a field, a checkbox appears along with a helpful icon that explains how the feature works.
- Case-Insensitive Matching: The system compares existing choices in a case-insensitive way, ensuring smooth updates even if the input varies in letter case.
- Handling Mixed Inputs: Whether the input contains a mix of existing and new values, the automation efficiently processes and adds only the missing choices.
- Safe and Reliable: The addition of new choices is controlled via a locking mechanism, ensuring that updates to the field structure are made accurately and safely even during parallel executions.
How It Works
- On receiving an input with a new choice entry, the system displays an option to enable the creation of that choice.
- When enabled, the automation locks the field, checks the current structure, and safely updates the field with the new choice(s).
- This process is designed to be transactional, ensuring that each update is handled seamlessly without overlapping changes.
This update is now available across all plan types. Enjoy a more dynamic and adaptable way to keep your select fields current as your data changes.
