Can Rules Run When I Import Records

Yes, they can. The key thing to know is which type of rule fires during an import.

Table Rules are the rules that fire on table-level CRUD operations, including imports. If you have a Table Rule set to run on add or edit, it will run for each imported record (when the import is configured to trigger rules).

Record Rules are tied to specific front-end components like forms and details views, so they do not fire on imports - they only run when a user interacts with that component in the live app.

When you start an import, Tadabase gives you the choice of whether or not to run rules during that import. This is helpful when you're loading thousands of records and don't want to send emails or call APIs for each one. Pick the option that matches your use case: skip rules for fast bulk loading, or run them when you want each record processed as if it was added normally.
