Automation groups multiple rows

I have a smartsheet form with an automation that sends an e-mail each time that a new line is created.

I would expect that each e-mail is for a new line, while sometimes in a single e-mail there are 2 records and I don't understand why. Obviously I would like to avoid it because it is confusing for whoever is receiving the e-mail

Can someone help me?

Thanks

Regards

    Hi @SJOE

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Can you add placeholders?

    If six or fewer rows are triggered simultaneously, placeholders with Alert or Update Request actions in change-based workflows will generate separate notifications. The custom subject and body will be removed if seven or more rows are triggered at once.

    Would that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
