Inappropriately jokey email

Vegas Inventory

I received the following automated email:

Guess what?

Your submitted hours pulled a disappearing act! They've been rejected quicker than a soggy Valentine's Day card. Time for a magical rewrite! (Check with your PM)

Abracadabra,

Smartsheet Goblin

I am currently in a dispute with my employer over travel hours. The jokey tone of this email does not help the situation. Does anyone else think this type of communication is not appropriate for a professional platform such as Smartsheet? I'm curious to hear what people think.

(Sorry if I didn't post this in the right category. This is my first post!)

Hi @Vegas Inventory,

Could you please share a screenshot of this automated email so that we can look into it?

Hi @Vegas Inventory

I hope you're well and safe!

This seems to be someone who set up the workflow (an internal or maybe external consultant) and thought it might be funny. It could be a mistake that someone had this during development and then missed changing it to something more professional.

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Andrée Starå | Workflow Consultant / CEO @ WORK BOLD

Hi @Vegas Inventory,

Thanks for sharing the screenshot! @Andrée Starå is correct, this is internal messaging that has been customized within the alert workflow, and doesn't come from Smartsheet.

If you have any more questions, or if I can help with anything else, please just let me know!
