1. I have created an automation workflow with multiple condition paths. 2. Each condition path is to identify the certain key words in the respective contact a columns mentioned in it. 3. As an action replace the contact containing the key words by 'Action: assign a Contact'

@Tamal Dey How have you done that?
Hi @Lisa B 2022 , This doesn't work as you expect it to be, to be honest. In Smartsheet, an automation works best if the actions are affecting a single column. But sometimes I see changes in the other columns as well.
Anyhow, I feel this could be a bug, because when I reached out to support for enquiring why other columns are not impacting in a similar frequency as the one mentioned in the 1st conditioned. They asked me to create separate automation for separate columns.
@Tamal Dey thank you.. I cant see where I can add multiple conditions simultaneously?
@Lisa B 2022 You want to know how to create multiple conditions simultaneously?
If you click on the "+" icon in blue, you will get the dropdown list containing:
If you click on the "condition path", you'll be able to create a number of condition paths. I believe there is a limitation on how many condition paths you can create.
Oh dear god.. thank you.. i didnt even know this existed!!!!!!
Hey @Tamal Dey
Thank you for posting your idea! You're correct that currently automated workflows follow one individual path, and cannot trigger on all condition paths at the same time.
I like to think of it like Dominoes - once the workflow has found a path to go down (one of the conditions is correct), then it flows down that path and cannot come back up to trigger the next one, as it's already down at the bottom. Individual workflows is what I would suggest in this scenario as well.

Problem Smartsheet environments quickly become cluttered with inactive Sheets, Reports, and Dashboards that are no longer viewed or updated. This creates confusion for users and significant overhead for admins, especially in large or regulated environments. There is currently no native way to automatically identify, notify…
It would be beneficial to be able to leverage Smartsheet Automations to make REST API calls. This has many potential use cases, but one I could see is adding users to Smartsheet groups when the are added to a 'roster sheet' in Smartsheet. It would allow us to use the full power of Smartsheet's API within easy to use…
