Can we Capture Time?

Hello Team,

Is it possible to capture time?

I need to create a logic to order automations thru time, I have added the column to get the Date and time, now I need to add another column, that will grab the time on the created date column and after 1 minute, one automation is flowing and another one after 2 minutes.

I have tried the new AI in Smartsheet, and it did not work

I have tried my excel skills to create some formulas, but none of them are working and I can easily do it on an excel file thru VBA.

Please Help

    Hi @Nuno Santos,

    Just to make sure that I understand correctly - You have one column that contains the Created Date, and then after 1 minute you want an automation that captures the time 1 minute later, and then another automation that captures the time 2 minutes later?

    Can you add a screenshot as well?

    Thanks!

    • Hiding and unhiding columns, and spell checking

  • Correct, I need it to Capture the Time as it shows in the screen shot 8:08 AM and on the Column Automation Trigger, that will be a condition on the workflow to send an email after 1 minute, show the time after 1 minute. meaning only pops the time after 1 min so can trigger the automation.
