# AIRTABLE AUTOMATIONS

a *styleguide!*

## FIRST
Check out Airtable's [Automation Overview](https://support.airtable.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050974153-Automations-Overview) for a great walkthrough of this feature.

## NEXT
There are some Bok specific things we are noticing. 

* In keeping with normal form, we would advise against automations that duplicate information and send that copy elsewhere.

* When you are building an automation, it will only be able to use the information that was there when you first click "Test". **So if you are creating new fields and making updates, you have to click "Test" again to make your edits appear!**
