Reminders - view sent reminders

Is there a way to keep track of reminders that have been sent?  It appears they go away once sent and there isn't anything that shows they were setup/sent.  Would like to be able to confirm that reminders went out.

If you are referring to "Update Requests", Smartsheet keeps a log along the bottom "tabs".

Not update requests, reminders (alerts / reminders).

I don't believe smartsheets tracks that information. If you are not seeing alerts or reminders sent to yourself you might have to go to Account > Personal settings > Settings and check the box that says "Include my changes in the notifications" or something like that. I have not been able to find any documentation that Smartsheets keeps viewable logs of sent reports.

For that matter, including yourself as recipient in all of the notifications would also give you a good idea how many notifications were sent. Though I wouldn't want my inbox cluttered so! You could also use an IF THIS THAN THAT https://ifttt.com/about to look for specific notifications coming into your inbox and then archive them, and tally them in a google spreadsheet. Just a thought.

Thank you for the response.  I was hoping to see something in the Activity Log or somewhere that a reminder had been sent.  Without a log of them, like the update request, you really don't know if it went or not unless you copy yourself, which still doesn't provide a log in the sheet for others to see.  I'll submit an enhancement request for this.

Great idea!
