You are probably using automation with coda... If you do not... well, you should ! Once that said, you have noticed that there is not “new row” trigger, while this is something quite necessary (for example when I want to see if someone filled out a form, or add any suggestion in a shared doc).
Well, here is the easiest way I found to check that
Lets consider the database you would like to spy for a new row. The only thing you need to do is to add a formula column with
DatabaseToCheck.Count()
Once made, every row will have the count of the size of the database. So that one row is added, every row will see it, and then you can trigger your automation in “Row changed”
Quite easy, but also great !
Hope you enjoy this little trick ! Please visit to leave any comment, suggestion, or see my twitter feed !
Want to print your doc?
This is not the way.
This is not the way.
Try clicking the ⋯ next to your doc name or using a keyboard shortcut (
CtrlP
) instead.
