Emojis are a fun way to add a bit of personal expression to any text, but they also serve a vital purpose in automation. In this post, we'll show you how we use Emojis at XRAY to mark up our databases and create more context in Zapier.

Zapier is a useful tool all on its own, but connecting it with an Airtable Database will give you more control over how and when your automations run. In this post, we’ll show you a few tips for getting started with using Airtable as an Operational Database for your Zaps, and demonstrate how you can use Airtable views to trigger automations based on any conditions that you want.

Templates make it much easier to produce your frequently-needed documents on the fly.
