What's Changed

Airtable imports are now smoother, and the import lands in your current workspace instead of somewhere unexpected. Suggestions got a visual refresh with automatic comparison highlighting as you type. Forms are more accessible, and the API now has a cellFormat=typed option so you can get properly typed values back without guessing.

If you include extra extensions in your build, there's a new automations UI that lets you set up triggers on your data. You can define conditions on any table, then fire off email notifications or webhooks when rows match. You can send dynamic emails to different recipients based on column values, filter with Python conditions, and monitor everything from a delivery log. Automations are part of the full edition of Grist, which has a 30-day trial, and is free for individuals and small orgs (under $1M annual funding). The full edition funds the development of grist-core.
