When I have a broadcast +automation to export contacts to a Google Sheet, is that broadcast “always running” so every time a contact opts in, it’s added to that sheet? Or do I have to manually run it again for that to happen?

Hi, ​@MSGA!

 

It will only run once for the contacts you already have.

If you wish to save every new contact, you could create an automation and use the "New contact created” trigger:

 

You could also use a Date/Time based trigger to get all the new ones that subscribed at the end of the day:

 

Hope this helps!


Thank you ​@Fabio Gaulke for the reply. Does this seem right (below)? 

 

Also, this is the broadcast I set up for that first run. Will I have to create another broadcoast for the automation to run? Or is that first broadcast “running” in the background already? Sorry for the stupid question maybe, just not really understanding the broadcast → automation relationship.
