More specific automation details in activity log

Luke L

Hi there,

I've got a smartsheet with a bunch of automations that set/change cell values, based on where in the workflow that row is on and who's made what changes. I'm trying to troubleshoot why my automations work some of the time and not others. I was hoping to use the activity log on the sheet to help troubleshoot, but instead of documenting which automation triggered I just see 'smartsheet automation', in the User column, and 'Cells changed' (as an example) in the Action column.

It would be incredibly useful - especially for those who have lots of automations - to know which automation was triggered in the log.

Even with my own documented swimlane diagram to help me design the entire workflow, having this additional information in the activity log would make troubleshooting so much faster!

I completely agree—having the specific automation name or ID logged in the Activity Log would be a game-changer for troubleshooting complex workflows. It would save so much time and eliminate the guesswork. Hopefully, Smartsheet considers this as a future update!
