Why automation copies the row 3 times instead of once?
Hi everyone!
On Smartsheet, I have a source file for which I created an automation. Through this automation, the 7 rows of the source file (whose values are updated multiple times a day) are copied to another destination file.
According to the automation, the copy should only occur once a day at 4:00 p.m., and the goal is to create a time series.
However, when I open the destination file, the 7 rows are copied 3 times at 4:00 p.m., 4:10 p.m., and 4:15 p.m.
Additionally, the copy at 4:10 p.m. contains some empty values.
I can’t figure out where the problem lies. Has anyone dealt with similar issues?
