Automation: Atomicity and Locking
Do Automations run as an atomic transaction and/or perform any row/table locking while they run? Wondering if/how my application will behave when multiple users simulataneously run Automations.

They will run one after the other if they are going into the same destination application just like user actions would queue working in an application. Quick Base handles those requests as they come in, but some Automations might trigger off of multiple record changes as an Import from CSV call which would run as a single job. This is in the case of an Automation that triggers off of mass edits taking place all at one like Grid Edit or Import. If instead those four actions were triggered by four different users then they would process like any user action in order. It depends on how they are triggered.
