What’s new in Airtable: January 2022
Happy new year! While our New Year's resolutions may already be long-abandoned, do you know what’s not getting left behind this year? Our new product launches in Airtable.
That’s why we’re bringing you a slew of product updates this January. Let’s get into it.

Conditional logic has landed
Manage complex workflows in Automations
That’s right, there’s a new way to automate your workflow. Starting today, Airtable users across every plan type can use conditional logic in their automations. That means they can do things like: send a few important notifications—to everyone but Todd in accounting. (Sorry Todd) Or they can route specific social media posts to Twitter… but NOT to Facebook, or vice versa—depending on content.
So how does it work? Well, conditional logic lets you trigger groups of automation actions only when certain conditions have been met, ensuring your automations are primed to do exactly what you want. Once you’ve set up conditional logic, Airtable will check the first conditional group you’ve set—if the conditions for a group have been met, the actions in that group will run (And Todd’s email inbox will remain delightfully unburdened).
Want to learn more? Join us onus for on February 1 for the next Airtable Community AMA, where our product team will answer all your burning questions about Conditional Automations.
You’ll have the opportunity to see Conditional Automations in action, chat with other Airtable users, and share any feedback with our product team.
