Using placeholders for Row Number

Deano12

Hi there,

I'm looking to be able use a place holder in an update request to provide the person receiving with the correct row number/ID. They will need this to engage an API connection back from a form.

Would you be able to provide the placeholder needed to pass this value through in the email to the user?

Thanks

Dean

Hi Deano12,

Use double curly brackets to surround your field name as below screenshot. Hope that helps.

Hi Gia,

Thanks for the reply - The issue I have is that the RowID value is not tagged to a column name. If I could see the name of the column that RowID was assigned too, that would be great, but it's hidden.

Do you know how I might be able to find the ID of the row using {{ }}?

The native row ID that created by Smartsheet system is not shown up for us to tagged in any workflows, but we can create a column named RowID with auto-number property. Then each row will got a unique number in RowID column. Then you can use  {{RowID}} in your workflow.
