Use generic name for Smartsheet automated notifications that can be easily updated

John McAlonan

When I have changes in a number of Smartsheets due to personnel changes (terminations, new hires, promotions) I have to go through a large number of sheets to change the destination address for the notifications. For example, Kathy might be my accounts receivable person. When she changes roles, I need to change the notifications to a new person. I'd like to put in an Accounts_Receivable placeholder that when the role changes, I can put in a new person to that placeholder and not have to change all the automations. I'd also like to have the option to have the accounting manager get all the Accounts_Receivable notifications. I recommend that we can make a placeholder work globally throughout my company or be specific to a sheet.
