I created a rule for an approval request (assigned to myself), but have not received the notification.

It has been an hour already.

Hi Dan,

Can you share the sheet so I can see the information that you base the rule upon?

Have a fantastic Thursday!

Best regards

Andrée

Hi Dan,

Make sure that you're set up to receive your own notifications/approval requests under Account > Personal Settings > Notifications.

If you are and you're still not receiving the approval request, please contact our Support team to troubleshoot further.

Sorry, my bad :-)

My rule formula was wrong.  The change that fixed it was from:

When % Complete changes to 100%

to:

When % Complete changes to 1

It would be good if Smartsheet can validate the rule on the acceptable data types, to give users a clue on misbehaving rules.

Here's the Smartsheet, Andree

Waiting for more videos on how to use this feature.  Looks awesome, but hard to be sold on the limited info.

Thanks Dan!

Good morning Shaine, 2 quick issues we are having with the automated process.

1) Using 'manual update request', once the update is completed both sender/creator and receiver receive a confirmation email from SS. However, via the automated process, only the receiver receives the confirmation. Is there anyway to bring this "confirmation to sender" email into the automated process? 

2) I love the 'approval request', but I am forced to use 'update request'  instead simply because of a minor detail. When using Approval request it doesn't allow the receive to change any columns, only a yes or no vote. Is there any way to unlock this? in other words, so as part of the approval update the receiver can provide additional data that we need to consider it officially approved?   

 

praying you could make this happen.
