I use an automation in combination with one special purpose column: I have a checkbox column (called ’ is new row’ and I have specified that the value of this checkbox is checked upon creating a new row. This column is hidden and not used for any other purpose.
My automation looks like this:
Since it set to true upon creating a new row, the automation is triggered. Any other action to this row in the future won’t trigger the automation, so it informs me only about the creation of new rows - and nothing else.
I use this on several tables and although I prefer a solution without an extra helper column, this works just fine.
