Just after some clarity on the new “Find a record” option in the workflows, the wording makes it sound like it will only fetch 1 record - is this the case or will it actually fetch all matches?
For example, I am trying to notify all user’s of a certain role that action is required from them, if I do a “Find a record” for users where role = x and then use this step as the User list for the notification action will it notify all of those users or just the first one it finds?

This is correct, right now it finds _one_ record (the first that match the conditions).
In the future we plan to add a ‘Find records’ action that you could use for your use-case

Are you using Noloco exclusively or something else, like Airtable, for your back end?
I was able to get notifications to send dynamically to different users/groups, though it took a little bit of figuring out. I can try and give some guidance. What is your database structure and what triggers the workflow?

In this instance the app is using Noloco tables, it’s no problem I have a workaround but a “Find records” would certainly help streamline things in the future.

There’s a way I have mine set up where I have tables with Leads, Properties, and Sales Reps. The Leads are linked to a Property and the Sales Reps are linked to various Properties. When my workflow runs, changes to the Leads trigger the workflow and then I have a repeating action that send notifications to every Sale Rep that is attached to the Property that the Lead is also attached to.
