Does the trigger need to be "When rows are added?"

@jmyzk_cloudsmart_jp not necessarily. It needs to trigger though only if the VP approves.

To optimize the Smartsheet workflow, please adjust the trigger settings as follows:

1. Setting the Trigger: Choose "When rows are added or changed" rather than just "When rows are added".
2. Reasoning Behind the Suggestion:
   • Initially, when a request is made, a row is added, which corresponds to the trigger "When rows are added."
   • Following this, the approval request workflow initiates.
   • When an authority figure, such as a VP, marks a cell as "Approved", this action aligns with the "When rows are changed" trigger.
   • For the alert mechanism to function correctly when a cell value is changed to "Approved", it's essential to activate the "When rows are changed" trigger.

By only having the "When rows are added" trigger, the workflow won't activate when a VP approves a request by changing a cell's value. To capture such changes and initiate the workflow, it's crucial to include the "When rows are changed" trigger.
