The capability to automatically include files with messages sent from Airtable is a function of integrated workflows. This feature allows users to transmit documents, images, or other data directly from their Airtable base as part of an automated notification or action. For example, a sales team might automatically send a product brochure as a PDF attachment to a new lead when their information is entered into a designated Airtable table.
This functionality offers significant advantages in terms of efficiency and consistency. It streamlines processes by eliminating the need for manual file selection and upload for each communication. Historically, sending attachments required manual intervention. Now, automated workflows ensure that the correct files are consistently delivered to the intended recipients, reducing errors and saving valuable time.
