Super simple automation: notify user if task gets assigned to them via a people multiselect common
Problem: one change triggers multiple notifications

Anyone experienced this problem? Is in my formula the number of notifications dependent on the number of columns in the table?
(can only post one embed at a time)
You should use Step1Resault.Team as TO column, so it will send only to person assigned to that row instead to all people you have assigned in that column. I had similar problem also 
Thanks for pointing that out! Actually, I think my problem arises even before that though: I’m getting the same notification 4 times (or 20 times, for my other “real” table) to the same user.
@Saul_Garcia helped me fix it, thanks a lot
The automation formula has to be adapted as follows to prevent multiple notifications to the same user:
1 Like
However, you can actually also just use the inbuilt notifications of the People column

Just don’t use both options or you’ll have double notifications 
Of course, I didn’t pay attention that your trigger was when assigned to, there is default notification for that. I thought it was when status change or some similar thing 
Anyway good thing you managed to solve problem
