You can add multiple workflows, one per hour.

Would that work?

@Gajapathi Muniyappa The best that can be accomplished natively in Smartsheet would be to set up a workflow for each hour. If you need something more immediate, then you would need to look at either a different structure for your overall solution, or you would need to look into the API or third party apps such as Zapier.

Hi @Gajapathi Muniyappa

I hope you're well and safe!

You can use a Date trigger to make it work.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,

@Gajapathi Muniyappa If your formula contains a cross sheet reference then you will not be able to use it as a trigger. You would need to set it up as a date based trigger such as daily and then use the formula column as a condition.

Understood but trigger daily once will not serve my purpose. I need this to be trigger immediatly when data changes.
