Send Update Request- Add sheet name?
Hello,
I am using the send update request automation. However, it does not show the sheet name. Besides renaming the email subject, is there a way to add this? I noticed my automated reminders automatically include the sheet name. (see below).

Hi @ecarrero
I hope you're well and safe!
You could add a so-called helper column and a formula showing the sheet name and then convert it to a column formula, so it's included on all rows and in the update request.
Make sense?
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Thanks, I was able to make it work for 1 cell but when trying to apply it as a column formula, the column formulas would error out. "The column formula syntax isn't quite right, see our help article."

NOTE: Column formulas cannot refer to cells or ranges with specific row numbers such as with absolute references, specific cell references, or partial-column ranges. Use @row, column references, and cross sheet references instead.
When trying to use the example =[Task]:[Task] I keep getting an unparseable error.

Happy to help!
Try something like this. (Change the name to reflect your sheet name)
="Sheet Name"
You could also add a field in the Sheet Summary and reference it in the formula instead. This is especially useful when you have a template you reuse.
Did it work?

Thanks, it did help. The only limitation is that free users can't change the sheet name since it's a formula. I am creating a template. Any workaround for this?

Excellent!
You're more than welcome!
You could add the name to a sheet summary field and reference it in the column instead.
