automation copying rows when conditions should send update request instead

Hello, I have a scheduling sheet where users update an existing row to reserve a meeting time. My automation workflow states to copy rows changed IF three fields are NOT blank Otherwise send an update request for missing field info.

The issue: Rows are copying even when one or more of the three fields are blank AND even when the update request is sent.

    Hi @bourgeoj 

    Hope you are fine, i advise you to add a helper column (Check Box Type) with the following formula to check the box ( name it Copy Row and you can hide it if you like)

    =IF(OR(ISBLANK([Line Of Business]@row), ISBLANK([Manager's Voicemail]@row), ISBLANK([Expected Participant Names]@row)), 0, 1)

    and change your automation workflow as following

    in this way, you will be sure that when all field is not blank then the row will be copied.
