Content of the custom column - automation.

Als · 02-28-2026, 12:23 PM

Hi all,

I've got a question about the custom column added to the library. I usually send books to my Kindle via email. I'd like to see (in the separate column) when the book was sent. Would it be possible to add a column with a field containing a date of using an option 'Send an email to ...' and have this date added automatically?

Thank you very much, it works! One small chain containing two actions - 'Send email to' (from 'Calibre Actions') and 'Single field edit' does it's job perfectly.
