The Lookup field can now reference single records and multi-record fields, letting you pull nested data—like email addresses — straight into your collections & Automations. Stop copying contact details between tables. You can now point any lookup field at a record or multi-record field and instantly reuse nested data—such as multiple contact’s email addresses.
Need to loop the whole project team into an update? or roll up totals from related tasks? Your data already knows who’s who; now Kinabase lets you act on it, no extra columns required.
Map Fields faster, keep information consistent and enable more connected automations.
Why it matters:
- Slash manual data entry – reference existing records instead of re-typing contact or project info.
- Target the right people – pull looked-up email addresses directly into email steps so every alert reaches the correct inbox.
- Build richer workflows – combine record relationships with Automations to trigger follow-ups, hand-offs and reports at scale.
How it works:
- Edit or create a field, choose Lookup and pick a record or multi-record source.
- Select which nested field (e.g. Email) you want to expose.
- Use this new lookup in Automations — email, update or condition steps now treat it like any other record field.
When to use it:
- Operations Leads who email every stakeholder when a job moves to “Ready for review”.
- Account Managers who need project status dashboards filtered by each client’s contact list.
- Production Managers who need all the equipment referenced on their work-orders, extracted from their standard operating procedure (SOP).
