Hello! I have some automations set up that are kind of time sensitive. I have an automations (that press buttons) set up to trigger whenever a new row is added, but often the automation fails to run for quite sometime. I’m hoping to add some backup automations that basically push the buttons every hour just in case the first automation delay is too long. Before I do that, I just wanted to check if that will break anything. ---

Hey Samuel! I might try implementing a time-based automation rather than a row-change automation in this case. Since these are pressing buttons, remember to add in any necessary “disable if” criteria to your buttons so that you don’t get any duplicate button presses 👍 ---
