How this automation works

Control your Philips Hue lights automatically when new data appears in Airtable. This Applet runs whenever a new record is added to your selected Airtable table and makes your Hue lights blink to signal the update. Ideal for real-time notifications or tracking important project changes using Hue and Airtable together.
