Automations Not Running

Paul.Woodward

Hello, Everyone. I know there has been 100's of automation questions and I am here to add another.

I have 6 automations set up on a sheet. The old sheet, everything worked great. When we got a new sheet (template reasons), automations stopped automatically triggering.

I have a Business Plan, and do not have control center at my new place of business, so a lot of my project intake is manual currently.

1. Backlog Status Automation is for when a new project gets submitted, it automatically gets put in our backlog.

2. Second automation is for automating an empty cell to have the words "Link to Project Plan" put in. That way I can just add the hyper link.

I am trying to automated as many miniscule tasks as possible.

When I test, it works perfectly. But they are NOT triggering automatically.
Is it because I have 6 automations? Or because there is a lot of metadata going back and forth to reports, dashboards, etc?

Sometimes when you use a template, it considers the first 50 rows as having been there previously. Delete the first 50 rows of blanks, then try again adding new rows. See if the automations are functioning then. Weird quirk I know - I have run into it many times.
